Melty (メルティ) is a cheerful half-baku half-human girl and the only resident of the Melty Land. She's the titular protagonist of Melty Land Nightmare.

Appearance[]

Melty has pale pink-tinted skin and warm pink hair and eyes. She has short hair styled into a pigtail-like fashion, and small ears resembling those of a bear.

She wears a matching pink oversized jumper with a turtle neck and buttons down the middle. She doesn't wear shoes.

Personality[]

Melty is a cheerful and caring person, along with being patient, although she seems to get annoyed easily.

Story[]

Melty is half-baku and half-human. A baku is a Japanese mythological creature that is said to devour nightmares. She lives on a dream planet called the Melty Land, of which she's the only resident. It appears that the only people who visit the Melty Land are Blue Girl and Tina, though Dango knows about Blue Girl and Melty through a dream, meaning that she has been to the Melty Land at least once before. Additionally, Mikage goes to the Melty Land in Gen'ei AP-Empty Heart, and is implied to have been there a few times before that. However, it's still unknown whether anyone else can visit.

Relationships[]

Blue Girl[]

Harumaki Gohan has described Melty's relationship with Blue Girl as co-dependent. Blue Girl depends on Melty for emotional support and relief from the stress of her waking life, and Melty depends on Blue Girl for her food source, as she feeds off of her nightmares.

The two of them have spent many nights alone together, and while Blue Girl always seems to forget about Melty after she wakes up, they are very close in the dream world. However, the more Melty supports Blue Girl, the less nightmares she has, which will eventually lead to Melty starving.

Tina[]

Tina and Melty are very good friends. Though the two of them live in different dreamlands, it seems they are able to travel between their worlds via a tunnel, as shown in this animation. Harumaki Gohan often draws them together, whether it's hanging out in the Melty Land together or doing comedic things such as having a lightsaber battle.

In the Neo Dream Traveler artbook, Dango implies that Blue Girl is jealous of Tina's proximity to Melty.

Trivia[]

  • There's no day and night in the Melty Land, so Melty gathered a bunch of stones and placed them near a tall tower to make a clock. She keeps track of time based on when Blue Girl visits her.

  • According to the Neo Dream Traveler artbook, the character Melty has existed since before Harumaki Gohan became a musician.
    • Her early character design apparently incorporated not only pink, but blue and yellow as well. When Harumaki Gohan decided to make her only pink, he incorporated the blue and yellow into Seventina.
  • She looks similar to Nana, which lead some fans in the early days to speculate that they are the same person. It was later revealed in the Futari No Ketsuron live that the Melty Land exists in the same universe as Futari No, which means Melty and Nana are not the same person.
    • This was exacerbated by the fact that it was difficult for viewers to discern Nana's colour palette due to the lighting in Saikai. Some people were under the impression that her hair was pink, which only made her seem even more similar to Melty.
    • Additionally, in this animation, the animation of Melty flying through a tunnel into the world of Seventina looks extremely similar to Nana and Lili falling in Saikai. However, this was possibly done on purpose by Harumaki Gohan as a joke to fool people who still thought they were the same person, seeing as how Melty is drawn in an angle that makes it look as if she's falling and a white light appears below her as she nears the end.
    • It was made even worse when fans more familiar with the artbook canon realized that Lili resembles Tina much more than Blue Girl, as Melty and Tina are best friends.
