Personality and Characteristics

Melty is compassionate, intelligent, and values justice, often acting as a counterbalance to the corrupt tendencies within the Melromarc royal family. Unlike her older sister Malty, Melty seeks peace and fairness and does not share her family’s hostility toward the Shield Hero. She cares deeply for her kingdom and its people, displaying maturity well beyond her years in navigating complex political challenges and conflicts.

With focused intensity, Melty Q Melromarc channels her magical abilities, showcasing the elegance and strength that define her as a powerful princess and mage.

Abilities

  • Diplomatic Skills: Melty’s training as a princess and her genuine empathy for others make her a skilled diplomat, especially in her interactions with foreign leaders and those who have been mistreated by the Melromarc monarchy.
  • Water Magic: Like many in the Melromarc royal family, Melty is adept in water-based magic, which she uses both in combat and to aid her allies.

Role in the Story

Melty’s encounter with Naofumi and his companions is initially accidental, but she quickly recognizes his genuine kindness and the injustices he faces. She becomes one of his most outspoken supporters, often using her position to advocate for him against her family’s bias. Her journey with Naofumi and his group further strengthens her resolve to become a queen who rules with compassion and equity.

After her mother’s death and the kingdom’s war with Faubrey, Melty assumes the throne and works to rebuild Melromarc and foster positive relations with Naofumi and the other heroes. She elevates Naofumi to Archduke, intending it as a humorous reward. However, this unexpectedly places Naofumi just below her rank, which traditionally implies engagement between them—a realization that surprises her and provides comedic tension.

Relationships

Naofumi Iwatani

Although initially seeing him as an ally, Melty grows to admire and respect Naofumi for his resilience and strength. The unintended “engagement” brings a humorous twist to their friendship, and she continues to hold Naofumi in high regard.

Filo

Melty adores Filo, who reciprocates this affection and often defends her. The two share a close, almost sibling-like bond.

Queen Mirellia Q Melromarc

Melty deeply respects her mother and inherits her values of justice and fairness, seeking to honor her legacy by leading Melromarc with integrity.

Trivia and Insights

  • Unlikely Friendship: Melty and Naofumi’s friendship highlights a unique dynamic, with Melty advocating for him despite her family’s initial hostility toward the Shield Hero.
  • Queenly Wisdom: As Queen, Melty implements reforms that promote justice and fairness, slowly winning over Melromarc’s citizens and establishing a legacy distinct from her predecessors.
  • Connection with Filo: Melty’s fascination with Filolials, particularly Filo, creates a strong bond, leading her to consider Filolials as symbols of peace and harmony within her reign.

Legacy and Impact

As Queen, Melty strives to undo the injustices set forth by her family’s past decisions, establishing Melromarc as a more equitable kingdom. Her unlikely alliance with Naofumi reshapes the future of the kingdom and creates a strong foundation for peace. Through her determination and compassion, Melty embodies a ruler who defies her family’s corrupt legacy, inspiring a new era for Melromarc.
