Yello 👋 i'm riley! You can also call me joanie 😊 Melly has been my entire personality for 3 years, and she'll stay 💞4💞EV💞ER💞!!! She's my #1 favorite character, my kamioshi, watever u wanna call it!!!! I don't think I'm her #1 fan && don't claim 2 b, i just know alllll my love goes 2 her ~^.^

Melly bug: bee (fertility, hard work, related to her in general even more than monarch butterflies), but I think monarch butterfly (new beginnings, in her encased butterfly accessory and many of her skins and just related to her in general) is up there too.
Melly flower: lotus (transformation, new beginnings, awakening, resilience, quest for enlightenment - konghou has lots of lotus symbolism and it's in fettered wish as well), i also think she'd really like lilies of the valley (purity [purification, soul's return to purity after death👀], return of happiness, rebirth - and on ghost candle)
Update: There was an event that revealed the true mellyflowers!!! Entomologist is a bee orchid ("living in harmony with nature, finding eternal beauty in tiny lives") and Queen Bee is a honeycomb flower ("commander of the swarm, weaving hunting nets with collective will")
