Mela is a Calico cat and one of Princess Ava's Royal Guards. She is one of the main protagonists of the series.
Appearance[]
Mela has short fur with the colors dark gray and ginger, a white muzzle, underside, and paws, a striped tail, and light green eyes. She wears a pink Royal Guard collar with fuchsia hearts on it. She is the lightest of the four guards.
Depiction in the series[]
Little is known about Mela’s backstory, but it is speculated that she finished her training and was appointed a Royal Guard somewhere before the events of the series.
Mela speaks with a high, child-like, but soft voice. In the UK dub, her voice is significantly higher-pitched and squeakier in the second half of the series.
Website description[]
Mela is a Calico (or “Tricolor”) cat. She is known as the shy member of the Royal Guard, but she is very insightful. She has a keen sense of observation and will catch many details that her companions will often miss. And like her fellow cat Balloon, her quickness, agility, and cat-like reflexes often prove very valuable in tough situations!
Personality[]
Mela is able to understand others to the finest detail. This is especially shown when she could tell Kate is pure of heart by noting that the Friendship Heart caused her to teleport to Pocketville in the episode The Unexpected Guest and when she used her "sixth sense" to tell that the Magic Fountain’s water levels were dropping in the episode Going Home.
She is also quite shy, according to her collector card, though despite this, Balloon seems to express shyness more than her in the show.
Like the other three Royal Guards, Mela is shown to be very brave and confident and is not afraid to face any danger in the Pocket Kingdom. In each episode, she would not hesitate to face Eva and her gang when they come to snatch the Friendship Heart or do other evil deeds on their way. Mela is also shown to have agility in going through risky obstacles, such as stepping on stones over an underground rapid or climbing trees to claim a Magic Drop. However, her confidence can easily get the best of her, including when she visited Puppy Key and climbed a tree that hanged over a massive hole dug by Zull and Gort in part 2 of White Paw to get a Magic Drop, only for the tree to nearly uproot, causing her to lose her balance and on the brink of falling into the hole despite her light weight.
