Mel Shido (紫藤める Shidō Meru) is one of the main characters of Kiratto Pri☆Chan and a cool-type idol whose preferred brand is Universe Queen. Her catchphrase is "Mel-Mel", and she always addresses herself in the same way too.
Appearance
Mel has sharp indigo eyes with long lashes. Her long purple hair is waist length and flares outward on each side, with similar locks located on each side of the head behind the hair. Her bangs are similar in shape, split on the corner with a single, loose lock at the middle. The larger portion curled inward on the tip.
Personality
Mel is a cheerful and highly energetic girl with an emotional side. She is a bit eccentric and greets everyone with a kiss on the cheek. She is also a foodie and she loves eating; once eating several cupcakes Mirai's mother made, and fought with Emo for a doughnut. She's highly optimistic and rarely ever shows anything on the contrary. Though, she has a weakness of staying idle for even one second.
Relationships
Anna Akagi
Her close childhood friend and teammate in Meltic StAr. At the end of episode 23, she finally meets up with Anna and Sara again only to be rejected coldly by Anna, who walks away from her, saying that she has no intention of associating with her again. Wanting to make up with them, Mel later confronts Anna's team in the Sports Festival and challenges them. During the festival's breaktime, Mel reveals that she had left Meltic StAr in order to search for a star that'll never fall, revealing that it was for Meltic StAr's sake. Throughout the festival, her efforts eventually make it to Anna, and she, Anna, and Sara perform together once again as a trio, fully returning to Meltic StAr.
Sara Midorikawa
Her close childhood friend and teammate in Meltic StAr. Despite Anna's attitude towards Mel's return, Sara never bore any ill feelings towards her, and instead, encouraged that Mel and Anna make up. After becoming a trio once more and seeing the star that Mel named after their channel, she cries tears of joy for their reunion.
Suzu Kurokawa
When Meltic StAr returned to Kirajuku in season 2, Mel met and became friends with Suzu. In episode 63, they do a training session together. As they were training, Suzu noticed Mel's great athleticism and found herself feeling inferior to Mel, stating that Mel can't understand how others that can't do everything feel. However, Mel points out that that not everyone has to understand each other, which is what makes it interesting to her. After sharing her point of view, Suzu stopped feeling down, and enjoyed her time with Mel.
