Personality

Mel Shido is a lively and eccentric girl known for her boundless energy and vibrant personality. She is cheerful, affectionate, and full of curiosity, often expressing her friendliness by greeting others with a kiss on the cheek, a habit that adds to her quirky charm.

Mel is also a food enthusiast, with a noticeable love for sweets and snacks. She once devoured several of the cupcakes made by Mirai’s mother and even engaged in a playful squabble with Emo over a doughnut. Her love for food is matched by her relentless optimism, she consistently maintains a positive outlook and rarely displays negative emotions.

Due to her naturally hyperactive nature, Mel struggles to stay still for long periods and is often seen in motion. Her high energy and whimsical behavior make her stand out, but beneath her playful exterior lies a deeply emotional side, showing that her expressiveness comes from a genuine place of warmth and enthusiasm.

Relationships

Anna Akagi
Anna is one of Mel’s closest childhood friends and a fellow member of Meltic StAr. Mel is deeply loyal to Anna and admires her charisma and talent. Their friendship is long-standing, and they work well together as part of their idol unit.

Sara Midorikawa

Etymology

The surname Shido (紫藤) is composed of the kanji 紫 (shi), meaning “purple,” and 藤 (dō), meaning “wisteria,” a type of flowering plant. The “shi” element directly references Mel’s purple hair and theme color, aligning with the naming convention used for other main characters in the series.

Her given name, Mel (める), is likely derived from the English name “Mel”, commonly used as a shortened form of names such as Melissa or Melody. This connection suits her musical and expressive character as a Pri☆Chan idol.
