The Ladies (SMG4)

Meggy’s overall design is pretty saturated and vibrant. The goggles on her head don't have holes anymore and instead have evenly-spaced squares. She now has less visible freckles and red-brown eyes with pink highlights, her tentacle hair has become normal ginger (orange) hair with lighter details, and her body is thinner and somewhat taller. However, Meggy retains her outfit and accessories, even her Inkling gear, though with noticeable differences. Her shirt now features a design of a girl with flowing hair and wearing headphones, and her compression shorts are dark grey and somewhat longer, as well as her boots. She is no longer vulnerable to water, but also can no longer turn into a squid. Her headphones now have a black headband. Her sleeves and compression shorts are now black and her boots are a lighter shade of brown. Her eyebrows and skin is also slightly lighter and more detailed. Her eyelashes are now black.

Meggy is a jock who enjoys playing sports and going on adventures with Mario and the others. Her main sport of interest being a Turf War, in which her goal is to become the top athlete. She is very competitive as she is willing to take on any challenge that is thrown at her and also has a thirst for victory. She is brave, independent, level headed, competitive, enthusiastic, determined, caring, friendly, spunky, energetic, confident, competent, and smart. Meggy seems to have an insecure and sensitive side to her, as she hates losing and loses her confidence whenever her best efforts fail or prove to not be good enough, however she seems to gain back her confidence fairly quickly thanks to Mario's confusing but well-intentioned advice.

Other Facts:

• Her full name is Megatron E. Spletzer (Canon joke)
• Meggy once mentioned that she suffered an eating disorder from noodles. Her over-eating condition was so worse that her friends had to help her.
• Meggy has a fear of anime, commenting upon their weird facial structures and big eyes.
• Meggy's Hat used to belong to a former Splatfest Champion, “One-Shot Wren”, who had been the reason for Meggy's own goals to be one day to be a champion just like him, until learning the dreadful truth about him.
• Meggy has been more than a friend of Mario ever since they first met, even ''teaching'' her about Italian. Meggy even considers Mario as a brother figure.
• She is shown to be a terrible cook despite being taught by her friends, however in some videos, she has since improved with the teachings of Melony.
• Despite after turning into a human, she still has some of her previous intentions of being an inkling, even being triggered when someone says the word paint.
• Meggy was 15 years old in her first bebut in “SMG4: If Mario was in... Splatoon!”, making her 19-21 in recent years. ———————————————————- Tari is a young slender woman of average height. She wears a dodger blue and white hoodie styled to represent a blue jay, with brown khaki pants, and black fingerless gloves, while also having a metallic left arm. She wears plain white socks with dark blue heel and toe patches, and brown flip-flop sandals on top.

She has fair white skin, silky and short neon blue hair in a flat, disheveled neck-length cut prominently styled with a collection of hair acting as a fringe to cover her right eye, similar to Lilyncookies and Rosalina, with black eyebrows, tropical indigo eyes, and pink cheeks. Her blue hair now has more detail to it along with a heart strand (a reference to her FNF sprite) on top, and her cheeks are a darker shade of pink. Tari's dodger hoodie has also been enhanced, as it now has the zipper popping out, the pockets are more visible, and the sholders are identical to blue jay wings. Her black fingerless gloves have cyan tips and her Meta Runner arm is glossier than it was in her original model, she also has a wristband and her iconic symbol indented on her left hand. She now wears brown cargo pants, though she still keeps her white and blue socks. However her flip-flop sandals are brown on top while they're blue with the Meta Runner symbol at the bottom. Unlike her original design, her hoodie can be removed. She wears a white tank top with the Meta Runner logo at the bottom left.

Tari is an innocent, insecure girl frequently prone to hyperactivity who is a fan of video games, rubber ducks, and cats. She is shown to be a pacifist and often tries resolving problems with words rather than actions. Tari is very skilled with weapons such as guns, but is not very athletic and seems to have low stamina. She appears to be very accident-prone, as she often finds herself getting hurt or in danger. She is also really polite and non-confrontational, as she constantly apologizes for every mistake she has made. She is very peaceful, as seen in "Mario and The Diss Track" when she disagrees with the idea of hitting Bob Bobowski with a baseball bat, alternatively suggesting to the gang that they challenge Bob with a video game instead. However, if she is somehow fooled into thinking that a weapon is harmless or that she's playing a video game, she can do serious damage before she realizes what's going on.

Other Facts:

• Tari's name is a reference to the famous video game company called Atari, as well as the company's gaming system which was also called Atari. However, her name is revealed to be an acronym for Turbo Assisted Rapid Intelligence in the Meta Runner episode "Fatal Error".
• It is currently unknown how Tari became a cyborg in the SMG4 universe. It is also unknown exactly how Tari involved herself in the tournament between Bob in the games store from when the audience first sees her.
• Tari and Saiko can be considered foils to each other. While Tari doesn’t enjoy fighting in real life and is very friendly, Saiko is known to have psychotic tendencies and is more prone to violence than most other members of the cast. However, despite this, they do manage to be really good friends.
• She appears to have an affinity for rubber ducks, as seen in “SMG4: The Mario Carnival” and “SMG4: The Mario Convention!”. Tari also had a "Do It For Him" poster of Duckie in "SMG4: Mario goes to subway and purchases 1 tuna sub with extra mayo".
• She is shown to love anime just as much as Fishy Boopkins does, though she is not an otaku like him, possessing no merchandise and dakimakuras.
• Among the vague summarising nicknames given to the main cast between acquaintances, Tari is typically described as a "nerd", which is officially defined as "a foolish or contemptible person who lacks social skills or is boringly studious" or "a single-minded expert in a particular technical field". Given that Tari is only entirely fitting with the first definition in that she lacks social skills as well as that she can actually think clearly when necessary, it is liable that she is referred to under the second definition.
• She's one of the few characters in the SMG4 series that rarely swears, only doing so thrice.
• Her Meta Runner arm mysteriously achieved sentience and became known as Clench, helping her to become an "animal whisperer" at the zoo as she seeks to find a career besides playing video games every day. ———————————————————- Melony wears a black and red watermelon-themed hoodie dress with a thin green zig zag line in the middle and a watermelon on the bottom left, black socks and has red eyes, shoulder-length green hair with two thick strands sticking up in the back along with watermelon hair clips on the bangs, and black marks on her cheeks that resemble both watermelon seeds and the red stripes seen on Fierce Deity Link's face. She is also much taller, being around Tari and Belle's height. Also, similar to Saiko and Belle, she also has a more buxom figure compared to Peach, Meggy, or Tari, with a particularly large bust and wide hips, as a testament to her innocent personality.

Speaking of personality, Melony develops new characteristics; she is now childish and lazy as she is commonly shown sleeping most of the time, referencing her normal and inactive nature from her past life. She has a bad habit on sleeping on anything that she deems "comfortable", including bushes, other watermelons, and sometimes people. Like her melon form, she is also obedient, responding to any orders that are needed from others.

However, Melony can also be defiant to those who attempt to use force on her; when the Happy Mask Salesman attempts to make her give the Fierce Deity Mask back to him, she responds by slapping his hand away while saying "No" to him multiple times. In addition, her massive habit of hacking still remains, as seen when she quickly calls an Uber Eats to help Mario create a massive plate of Spaghetti using the Beeg SMG4 mask to lure a Mario Mask-possessed Meggy.

TLDR; At the beginning of her becoming human, Melony was still extremely lazy, hardly doing anything and rarely saying anything correctly. But over time she became more active and talkative. In addition, the powers of the mask that she wore awoke in her. In the beginning, she had a mental age of approximately five but by the end of the SMG4 Movie: REVELATIONS, she has shown maturity of being in her early twenties.

Other Facts:

• She is 21 years old, as shown in “SMG4: The Watermelon Man” as her birthday is on August 19th, 2002.
• Originally, Melony was simply a watermelon with the Studio Headphones, Pilot Goggles and the Short Beanie that Meggy wears on top of her head. In its debut appearance, the beanie is orange, but as of the [YouTube Arc], it is the same color as Meggy's.
• Melony is the youngest police officer in the Mushroom Kingdom, at only two years old.
• After the events of “SMG4: War Of The Fat Italians 2021”, it was confirmed she had PTSD over losing Axol in “SMG4: Mario has a BBQ but he's not invited.”
• Since Melony is Meggy's doppelgänger, it is ironic that she lost someone she loved as well. Meggy lost Desti and Melony lost Axol, her true love.
• In her normal human form, Melony only wears socks on her feet, but in her Fierce Deity form, she actually wears shoes.
• It is unknown if any other watermelons from the same plant as Melony are sentient, like her.
