## Tips

* Life-steal can also done by **Eldritch Horror, Nurse's Horn,** and **Super Nurse's Horn** thereby triggering Mel's Genius Vampire skill. Of note, Life Steal Stamp does not as Life-steal.
* Since Jingisukan's multiple healing ticks count as eating food, Acerola Juice will constantly give life steal to all attacks. Genius Vampire will then spawn bats from all those instances of life steal.

## Trivia

* As of January 16, 2024, Mel is one of two playable characters based on a retired Hololive member, the other being Tsukumo Sana.
* Kapu Kapu is as reference to Mel's opening greeting *KonKapu*.
	+ Kapu is the Japanese onomatopoeia for nibling sound.
* Banpire is a reference to the fact that Mel's YouTube channel had been banned multiple times, supposedly for producing content that was too risque for the platform.
	+ The most notable of these incident and the one that popularize the "Banpire" nickname was during her comeback stream after an extended hiatus where she got banned four times in a row.
* Acerola Juice is a reference to the fact that despite being a vampire, Mel doesn't actually like drinking blood. Instead, she prefers to drink Acerola juice.
* Genius Vampire gets it's name from Mel commonly stating she's a genius vampire in her intro.
* Mel Mel Cooking comes from a video where Mel creates a dish that many have said rivals some of Haachama's more insane food creations. The icon in particular represents her ungodly concoction of potato chips, ketchup, mayonnaise, chuno sauce, jelly yogurt, acerola juice, curry, rice, cotton candy, and Coca Cola - all mixed together and served with quail eggs as topping.
