Description
Mel Shido, nicknamed Mel-Mel, is a central character with long purple hair that reaches her waist and flares outward on each side, complemented by sharp indigo eyes and long lashes. Her personality is cheerful, highly energetic, and emotionally expressive. She greets others with a kiss on the cheek and exhibits great enthusiasm for food, especially donuts, having once eaten several cupcakes and playfully fought over a doughnut. Though generally optimistic and rarely negative, she finds it difficult to remain still. Intelligent yet somewhat klutzy, she is considered eccentric and a cloudcuckoolander.
She is a childhood friend of Anna Akagi and Sara Midorikawa, with whom she initially formed the idol unit Meltic StAr. Mel left the group for a time to pursue scientific endeavors, aiming to find and name a star that would never fall, inspired by Meltic StAr. Having skipped grades due to high intelligence, she graduated from a university in the United States and worked at NASA before returning to Japan. Due to Japan's compulsory education laws, she enrolled as a first-year student at Kirarigaoka Middle School despite her advanced background.
Her story includes a period of separation from Meltic StAr that created a rift with Anna, who initially rejected her coldly upon her return. Mel challenged Anna's team during a Sports Festival and explained that her departure was motivated by a desire to find a permanent star for the group. This led to reconciliation, and she rejoined Anna and Sara to reform Meltic StAr.
Professionally, she is a cool-type idol whose preferred brand is Universe Queen. Her catchphrase is "Mel-Mel," and she often refers to herself this way. She debuted in a trio performance, becoming the first idol in the series to do so, and was also the first to obtain her colored Jewel Coord on her first Jewel Chance. She is a member of both Meltic StAr and later, Miracle☆StAr.
Her relationships are key. She shares a close bond with childhood friends Anna Akagi and Sara Midorikawa, though her reunion with Anna was initially strained. Sara encouraged their reconciliation. Mel also befriended Suzu Kurokawa, helping her overcome feelings of inferiority during joint training by sharing her perspective on individuality.
Her hobbies and skills include inventing and fixing mechanical items. She claims her special skill is "everything" and is good at athletics. She plans to build a large donut machine in Anna's garden. She has a unique way of addressing others, adding repetitions to their names, such as "MiraMira" for Mirai or "AnAn" for Anna.
Her significant coords include various performance outfits across the seasons, such as her Universe Queen Kiratto Coord, Knowledge Purple Jewel Coord, and Cybercat Yellow Coord for Season 3 visuals.
