Nextgen Series[]

Melody and Danny were born in Los Angeles, California. At 7 years old, Melody attended CND Arctic Training. There, she spied on Chris Uno and George's secret meeting, where the former reveals his Combustion Eye at the same time George shows his secret (which Mel couldn't see). Melody told her mom about Chris's secret, but Eva ordered her not to tell anyone.

Viridi Saga[]

In the one-shot "Just Like Us", Melody was playing a game with Chris, and kicked his butt. The two then started to argue and eventually started to fight, to which both their parents stopped and scolded them. Nigel and Eva then talked about how they were just like them, and ended up fighting as well, then being stopped by their married ones and kids.

In the one-shot "Date?", Melody and Danny did a news segment, and Eric Horvitz asked if she would come over to his place tomorrow night, to which she agreed. Melody and Danny then went to get ready for family game night.

In the one-shot "Popularity", Melody and Danny watched Mike Strongarm race, then pushed Emily Garley into talking to him. In the one-shot "Kiss", Dillon York let the KNN know about Mason and Sheila's kiss, and Melody and Danny held the news segment, revealing so.

In The Son of Evil, Melody and Danny tried to interview Cheren Uno (unaware that it was really Nerehc) about why he attacked the villains' hideout, and Nerehc assaulted them and ripped off Melody's hair. She later helped Cheren stop his evil opposite when they went after him.

In Operation: SCARY, Melody dresses as a Zora for Halloween. She becomes a Zora for real when the Curse of Monsters spreads, and is unable to help Eric when he's attacked.

In Viridi's Last Stand, Melody attends the meeting on Moonbase, then participates in the War on Flora. She used her Juicy-Gossip Satellite to scan the battleground for how many enemies there would be. Melody later hits on Doflamingo Jr..

Big Mom Saga[]

In Sector W7, she and Haruka work together to heal Aeincha when her legs were squished, combining both their element powers.

In Sector JP, Melody helped Panini organize the Girls' Boxing Tournament on Moonbase, in which Melody took the signatures of participating operatives. She later hosts the contest in place of Panini (whose voice was too loud for the mike). When MaKayla gets injured by Aeral Sarah, Melody takes the former outside to heal her.

In Sector SA, Melody suggests to Goombella to give Cheren her number if she wants more answers for her interview. Melody is later informed that it didn't work. Melody dresses as Davy Jones and rides the Rolling Dutchman during the false assault on Roguetown. When Fake Malladus lands on the ship, Melody is flung up to Giz's ship, where she accidentally splashes her water on him. Later, Melody heals Morgiana's injured legs and mentions how they aren't as damaged as they should be after getting crushed by a steamroller.

Sometime after Gonbe was taken from Water 7, Melody apparently came there to do reconnaissance, as was mentioned in Operation: CLOWN. At the end of the story, she and Danny reported the capture of Caesar Clown, catching Sector DR's attention.

In Down in the Negaverse, Melody meets her Negative, Ydolem on Meet Your Match Day. They both watch Ruby Gloom, which Ydol takes interest in, but Melody is screaming why she could love this. Ydolem remarks it's punishment for all the secrets she might've told, calling Mel a stuck-up bitch.

In The Great Candied Adventure, Melody and Sector L find Sector V, now the Raccoon Pirates, and interview them about their treachery from KND. When they deny that they're traitors and refuse to let Melody join, she informs them of the Candy Pirates docked at Bully Island. In the battle with the Enraged Army, Melody battles Opera, using her bending to freeze his creamy body and punching his head afterward. Her clothes would be burned by Opera's acidic cream. At the story's end, she panicked after Cheren informed everyone of the Apocalypse.

Seven Lights Saga[]

In Legend of the Seven Lights, Sector L sails to the middle of the sea for fresh air, to help calm Melody down as she's still panicking. She and Danny dive and swim beneath the sea, viewing all the lovely creatures. But that's when an atomic bomb comes down and blows them all away, destroying that part of the sea. While floating adrift at sea, the siblings are found by a steamboat commanded by Teen Ninjas and taken hostage. While they're imprisoned, the shrunken Team Rupert and some Minish operatives sneak into Melody's back-pocket. The kids aboard during the ninjas' trade operation to Dressrosa, so in exchange for Devil Fruits, the ninjas allow the Flamingos to take the operatives prisoner. As they are walked off the boat, Yuki Crystal (disguised as Gladius) takes them away himself, and invites them on his mission to take out Sugar. They pretend to be beaten-up while Yuki takes them up the elevator, but they fall into Doflamingo's trap and are gassed unconscious.

Team Rupert leaves Melody's pocket and ends Sugar's Toy Curse shortly after, causing an uproar in Dressrosa. The kids and Yuki escape the elevator and leave the Toy House, finding Aurora and Haruka nearby. The latter two go inside the Toy House while Mel and Danny look for a phone to call their mom, but the phone line was dead (due to Doflamingo's Birdcage). The siblings then witness Doflamingo's death at the hands of Cheren Uno. The sight horrifies Melody, who decides she's done with reporting. They go with Sector V to the Uno House and reunite with their mom, learning that Nigel Uno was killed by the World Government. When Chris reveals his Combustion Eye to his friends, Melody reveals that she always knew about it, but kept quiet based on her mom's request.

Later, when Danny asks if Melody wants to do the recap for the story, Melody groggily goes up on screen and delivers a slapdash, inaccurate recap of the events, then returns to the couch. Suddenly, the team of Emily Garley, Sarah-Jane and Gary-Lou, and Sheldon Cooper appear in the room, along with Jessie and Sandy Sidney. Sandy requests Melody to help her brother, so Melody attempts to heal the unconscious boy. She mentions his mind being distorted, so the crew turns on Spongebob to possibly help. When Jessie suddenly awakens, he wishes to go to the ocean to meet Spongebob. The group bring Melody's mom with them to the Samiyan Sea, where they enter Oceana through Mother & Child Isles. They find that Spongebob is being chased by mermen soldiers, and Kyogre is frantically commanding them.

After Spongebob is apprehended, they talk with Kyogre inside his palace. They learn that Manaphy had led Fairy Princess Lapis away from the town, after Spongebob injured her. Spongebob is rescued and taken by Augustus and the Marzipan Pirates, so the group returns to their ship to get above surface. The Marzipans fly overhead and drop Spongebob onto their boat. After they get acquainted with the sponge, they agree to go to Sector JP. Spongebob and Jessie are annoying them during the journey with song, and when they near Japan's shore, Spongebob "floors" the boat and speeds them over the landscape. They conveniently crash in Kochi, so the Jacksons let Jessie, Sandy, and Spongebob go ahead to Boggly Woods. When Sector JP escapes from their treehouse, they find the Jacksons in Kochi and pick them up.

They are shortly called to Moonbase as JP, KB, and W7 are requested to find Footbombs in the NFL Stadiums. When Melody looks at the image sent to Danny's phone from Artie (a map of New Jersey's NFL Stadium that Carol snapped), Melody noticed the Mermaid Swamp writing in the picture's corner. She shows it to Cheren and Carol as the latter looks up the swamp said to be in Louisiana. They agree to go there later before taking their mom back to their house. The next day, the Jacksons participate in the Battle of Washington, where Melody heals Sandy's bloody nose. The following day, the Jacksons attend Nigel Uno's funeral.

Melody and Danny fly to Sector X, where they park their C.O.O.L.-B.U.S. before rowing to Mama Odie's hut in Badness Bayou. Mama Odie tells them of Mermaid Swamp and how only animals can find it. Melody suspects that Manaphy has brought the Fairy Princess to this place, so she insists on going. They use Odie's snake, Juju as a guide through the fog. Partway through, they lose sight of Juju, and then Danny falls behind, leaving Melody by herself. She begins to grow lost and falls into doubt and despair. But remembering Cheren's example, Melody focuses and tries harder to find the exit. Eventually, she hears Danny scream and discovers the boy being dragged underwater by poisonous mermaids. She tries to save him, but they all end up captured and taken to a cauldron in their village. Coincidentally, Eric Horvitz is captured there as well.

Melody escapes and uses Water Fury to threaten the mermaids. At Ineptune's order, the mermaids decide to let them go and not eat them. Ineptune tells the kids how the Kremling Krew is currently stationed in the swamp, along with Team Gnaa, then shows the group to Manaphy. The Sea Prince has adapted with the swamp's environment, turned into a green monster like the mermaids. Melody attempts to stop Manaphy from attacking a Kasplat, but Manaphy attacks her in turn before swimming away. Melody feels pity for her Firstborn uncle, and knows she must do something. First, she decides to go to Hideout Helm to try and help Princess Lapis. After they arrive at the base, K. Rool brings Melody into Lapis's cell. Lapis explains her hatred for Kyogre and the merpeople for making her stay in the planet, and Melody tried to sympathize and be friends with her. She was unable to heal Lapis's gem, but Lapis explained that she would be friends with her if they could trade bodies and see into each other's thoughts.

Melody goes back to the swamp and attempts to console Manaphy to get him to change back. Manaphy simply bites her in retaliation, and when Melody tries to heal him with waterbending, Manaphy bites her ring finger off. Furious, Melody beats Manaphy relentlessly, until she is stopped by her friends. Melody proclaims how Manaphy is nothing like his mom described, and goes back to Hideout Helm to get bandaged. She returns to Lapis's cell to show her injuries, and the fairy feels regretful. Lapis reveals that she still can use faint magic, and together, they perform the Switching Spell. Lapis attacks Melody in her own body afterwards, turning Melody (as Lapis) back into a Gem. Lapis plans to take revenge on Oceana in Melody's body.

Inside Lapis's subconscious, Melody views around at all her memories, learning of Lapis's past and her years on Earth. Melody feels angry at Kyogre for making her stay. She is able to reform Lapis's body, then she tells the fairy that she'll let her have revenge if they switch back. Melody, still in Lapis's body, and Manaphy are suddenly captured by Team Rocket. Manaphy bites them free out of the net, and Melody escapes. The Sea Prince switches hers and Lapis's bodies back to normal, then Melody engages Lapis in a fight. The fight is cut short when the Heart Swap wears off and they switch bodies again. They conduct the Switching Spell and change back for good, but Lapis no longer desires revenge. Melody then uses spiritbending on Manaphy, a power she studied from Lapis's memories. Manaphy is back to normal, and Melody is delighted. Manaphy uses Healing Tears to fix Lapis's gem, and the fairy bids Melody farewell as she leaves the planet. Melody then claims Manaphy as her Guardian, with her earring Spirit Ball.

Team Gnaa takes Sector L back home, where Melody recaps the story to her mom. Melody's mom decides to go to Oceana and stab Kyogre with the Phantom Sword. In the CP10 Saga, Melody heals the trio of Wendy Corduroy, Hoagie Gilligan III, and Garry Lincoln after they are attacked by CP10. She would later treat Maddy and Chris of their injuries with Haruka's help. During the Battle of Enies Lobby, Melody and Manaphy battle the Logia waterbender Suigetsu Hozuki. The fight transpires underwater, and Suigetsu prevents Melody from saving Chris from Ernie the Chicken. During the fight between Maddy and Rob Lucci, Melody knocks Suigetsu up into their battle room before coming up. Melody heals Maddy's injuries while Manaphy switches the HP between Maddy and Chris. Lucci then knocks the two plus Suigetsu out of the room.

During the Grand Inferius, Melody briefly does battle with the Inferius of Davy Jones. Manaphy is seized by Truman Kirman during the battle and used to revive Yellow Diamond. After Jones' crew is encased inside mysterious trees, Manaphy receives a telepathic call from Mew, prompting Sector L to take him to Mariejoa.

In On The Way, Melody begins having sparring battles with Chimney Ukeru. Maddy comes and tells her that she overheard Eric saying how he would cower behind Melody if Lord English appeared. Melody swims in the river at Flower Field as she flirtingly asks Eric if he'll protect her from Lord English. When Maddy reveals that she already told Melody, the latter says that she doesn't care if Eric's not strong.

Turning Point page 40

Melody attacks Varcrutis.

In Turning Point, Melody tries to heal Maddy after her fight with Varcrutis. Melody attempts to fight the Daemonis herself, only to suffer defeat.

In Seven Lights: The Last, after coming to the First Dimension, Melody swims under the Land of Waves and Darkness in search of Manaphy. She finds the Sea Prince deep beneath the sea in his new form. They return to the surface and battle Davy Jones with the new power Manaphy has given her. Melody is able to sever Jones' sword, but when he draws his Keyblade, she begins to falter. Eric Horvitz suddenly appears in an attempt to help Melody, but the result is Jones cutting Melody's neck. When her blood spills out, it is possessed by Melody's soul as she becomes Bloody Melody. With this swift, strong form, Melody enters Jones' body and makes him stab himself with his own Keyblade. She combines this with spiritbending to release the darkness in Jones' heart and fill it with light. Jones' body scatters and his Keyblade disappears. Melody's blood returns to her body as Manaphy heals her.

Melody later goes with Sugar and Jessie to Planet Bounjum, and to their horror, Danny had been captured by Ganondorf. The Demon King slaughters Melody's brother, but the others are able to escape. Even after the universe was restored, Melody remained haunted by the experience.

Newborn Era[]

In Field Day!, Melody participates in The Footrace, Tightrope Treachery, and Swim Season.

In The Horrorverse, Melody is poisoned by the Fear Toxin in her treehouse. In her nightmare, Melody keeps desperately trying to reach Danny, only to constantly fail as she watches him die over and over.

In Sector $, Melody meets Tsuyu Asui on Meet Your Heroes Day. Tsu listens to Melody as she vents her anger over Danny's death, and she is thankful to her for listening. Given Melody's situation, Nagisa and Killua spare them in their assassination game.

In The Fifth Emperor, Mason takes Melody to meet Yuta Asahina, a boy rescued from the Sky God Pirates. Yuta expresses admiration for Melody as Kyogre's granddaughter, but she shows resent in this, and angry that Yuta doesn't know of her brother's sacrifice. Yuta apologizes for his ignorance and pleads to fight alongside her, to which Melody agrees to give him a chance. On January 28, she, Yuta, and Emily land on Mobius on the former's quest to rescue Tsu from the Kremlings.

In Pirate Wars, Melody and Yuta swim to the underwater Lockjaw's Locker base, learning Anthony McKenzie is being held there. When they find Anthony, they end up in a battle with Lord Woo Fak Fak. They work together to fight him, and Melody defeats him by attacking him with his own blood. After they returned to the submarine, a Monokuma had brought a TV. They turned it on for a live message from Monaca, Yuta's former crewmate. Monaca intends to punish Yuta for betraying them, and reveals the captured form of Melody's father. As Kade tried to speak, Monaca killed him without warning. When a despairing Melody learns that her mom was also captured, Monaca demands Yuta to kill his own family to make up for his "sin." The message ends, and Yuta quickly agrees to Monaca's demand in the hopes of saving Eva. Melody questions his thinking as she goes to her cabin.

Later, Melody comes back out and refuses Yuta's offer, and she claims that if the worst should happen to her mother, she will accept it. She, Yuta, and Emily infiltrate Mogeko Palace to rescue Asui (saving Judy Hopps in the process), only to find that the frog hero has been corrupted by a Darkness Cannon. Asui and the Nyakuza Empress capture them, and they taken to the Mogeko Kremlin. They are shocked to see that Specter has been revived as a ghost. When Emily is struck by the Revert-O-Matic and stripped of her memories and intelligence, Melody stands up for her to Specter, stating that Emily had the right to be arrogant with all the hard work she does. The group is rescued by Eric and Judy Hopps.

Later, during the Lunch Break, Melody learns that her mother is being held captive at Azula's theme park on Hyrule, and she is extremely relieved to think they have a chance to save her. The task of saving Eva falls to Sector MG, who are successful as they bring a charred, but still living Eva to GKND H.Q.. Melody shares a heartfelt moment with her mother as they hope to return home together. Melody teams up with Mason and Sheila to infiltrate Liquor Island on Sweetopia. She and Mason combine their bending to fight and defeat Pawtucket Pat. During the war's finale, Melody faces Monaca Towa and takes revenge for her father, slicing off Monaca's legs. However, Melody couldn't bring herself to kill her.

After the war, Melody and her mother went to Adabat to have dinner with Yuta and his family. Melody decides to stay in the KND, and agrees to let Yuta join her sector.

In The Spiritverse, Melody hangs out with Haylee at Los Angeles Mall, following the parasite incident. They have a sudden encounter with Sitasphira, one of the Phoenios. While Melody agrees to let her hang out with them, she has mixed feelings about it due to Plex's initial impression, but they come to an understanding.

In The Great Gourmet Hunt, Melody is given part of a birthday cake by Entrapta, who gave the rest to the Gilligans since it was their shared birthday. Melody shares some of the cake with Sphira. Melody later defends Sphira from Gourmet Corp. chef Dores, but the expert swordsman cuts Melody's hip and defeats her. Fortunately, Weiss Schnee comes to finish Melody's fight.

In the future, Melody is married to Eric Horvitz and has a daughter named Erin Horvitz.

Non-Canon[]

Gamewizard submitted Melody to Divagirl362 when she needed OCs for a future fic she was writing, called Operation: RUNAWAY. In that story, she, Danny, and Eric received a call from Noah Gilligan, telling them to come over to discuss something. The story was discontinued.

Battles[]

Relationships[]

Eva Roberts[]

Melody's mom. She inherited her powers and reporter instincts.

Kade Jackson[]

Melody's dad. She likes to tell jokes like his that are somewhat good.

Danny Jackson[]

Danny is Melody's brother. They work with each other on the KNN. Melody heavily despaired when Danny was killed, and the pain lasted for at least half a year.

Chris Uno[]

Melody's cousin. She and him share the same bond as Nigel and Eva.

Eric Horvitz[]

Eric is Melody's assistant. He is a cowardly boy who would admittedly hide behind Melody in the face of danger. He eventually grew brave enough to try and defend her from Davy Jones.

Yuta Asahina[]

Yuta is a Adabatian boy who admires Melody, but only because of her relation to Kyogre, whom he worships. Melody detested him because of this, especially since he didn't even know of Danny's sacrifice. She agreed to let Yuta work with her during the Pirate War.

Appearance[]

Melody has long, black hair and black eyes. She wears a thin white T-shirt, black jeans, and white sneakers. Near the end of May 2031 (and after the timeskip), she switched to wearing a white top and blue sarong with fish designs, along with white sandals and blue straps, and has hair in a ponytail.

Gallery[]

Personality[]

Melody is a spunky news reporter, just like her mom, and loves to look pretty. She's also pretty flirty around cute boys, like Eric Horvitz, and likes to pester people, namely her cousins, for an interview when something interesting happens to them. Melody loves to swim and be in water, and her job in the news studio has kept her from realizing this fact. When certain intense events happen, namely those that involve her family, Melody feels hesitant to do any sort of reporting. When her brother died, she was angry that nobody seemed to care, due to the massive partying that transpired when the Twenty Keys Quest was over.

Abilities[]

Melody is a skilled waterbender. She is capable of Healing injured people with her bending, having studied chi paths and body areas of importance with her mom so she knows where to focus her energy. She is a fast, terrific swimmer, and fights by creating Water Fists over her arms. After training with her mom, Melody is able to go into Fury Mode, able to create a water colossus of herself from the surrounding water. After viewing Lapis's memories, Melody learned spiritbending, and was able to heal Manaphy's monstrous soul.

Melody worked with Haruka and learned to make blood transfusions with bloodbending. After a power-up from Manaphy, Melody was able to transfer her conscience into her blood after Davy Jones cut her neck, becoming Bloody Melody. In this form, she could move swiftly and enter Jones' body to control him.

Final Smash[]

"Time to get TODAY'S juicy scoop!"

Melody's Final Smash is Flash Scoop, in which a giant camera looms over the field and snaps the enemies, flashing them doing something embarrassing and stunning them.

Weaknesses[]

Melody will apparently fall into madness if her hair is torn, or she becomes dirtified. She then becomes desperate to clean the dirt off, or find a wig for her missing hair.
