47	----
48	* AllLovingHero: Similar to Hello Kitty, My Melody rarely holds any grudges towards others. Most notable in ''Onegai My Melody'', ''My Melody no Akazukin'', and ''Supercute Adventures'' where she's the most optimistic character of the bunch.
49	* ArtEvolution: My Melody went through a [[https://i.imgur.com/YHMvAF4.jpg few design changes]] over the years. [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6831e86c96b12ab4c026594e131eacfc_1.jpg Her original design had her ears pointed upwards]] and was sometimes depicted with no mouth, but was given a [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/images_96.png rounder head and thinner body in the early 1980's]]. [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/17349912472_7508ae2e08_b.jpg She was then given a cuter]] [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/375889.jpg and friendlier design]] along with her friend [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/5224521509_822a0b1ccd_b.jpg Flat the mouse]] [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/39294cab39b058d7eaa47fb58e196618/tumblr_miyy7k5s8Z1rmzv5eo1_1280.jpg and Risu the squirrel]] between 1984 and [[https://i.imgur.com/LsJZnvM.jpg the early 1990's]]. She then went back to her [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/o0220023612861202912.jpg normal look]] later in the 1990's.
50	* BestFriend: Hello Kitty considers My Melody to be her best friend. Helps that she alongside My Melody are one of the oldest Sanrio characters in the company.
51	* BreakoutCharacter: She became just as popular as Hello Kitty, which allowed her to receive her own anime where Kuromi co-stars. As a result, she's one of only Sanrio Characters that's easy to recognize by the general public (especially in the United States) next to Keroppi and Badtz-Maru. She also won the Sanrio Splatfest tournament in ''VideoGame/Splatoon2''.
52	* BunniesForCuteness: One of the earliest rabbit characters, [[note]] although not the first—the eponymous Bunny of "Bunny and Matty" was created in 1973, 2 years before My Melody was [[/note]] and one of the company's most well-known characters.
53	* CuddleBug: In ''Supercute Adventures'' she's fond of giving hugs and would frequently exclaim "Awww, huggies."
54	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: She started out as Sanrio's version of ''Literature/LittleRedRidingHood''.[[note]] Same goes for her mother, and grandmother. [[/note]] It wasn't until 1976 that Sanrio actually used "My Melody" as her name and became it's own series. Her friends (Piano, Flat, and Risu) and other family members (her brother Rhythm) were also introduced that same year.
55	* FurryReminder: In ''WesternAnimation/HelloKittysFurryTaleTheater'', she is commonly seen hopping from place to place.
56	* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dsc100493200.jpg In her drooped ear design]], she is commonly seen with a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKxelbpk9Xs pink bunny doll.]]
57	* IconicOutfit: Her red or pink hood, sometimes depicted with a white flower (sometimes with a bow). In honor of her 40th Anniversary, My Melody's pink hood now shows [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/images_066.jpg her ears drooping.]]
58	* NiceGirl: She's a very kindhearted and caring person.
59	* NoMouth: She has no mouth in works produced under Sanrio Digital, like ''The Adventures Of Hello Kitty & Friends'', and ''Hello Kitty Online'' and in some of her older designs during the 70's, but this is not as common in modern merchandise.
60	* NeverBareheaded: In most works, she is never seen without her hood. In ''WesternAnimation/HelloKittysFurryTaleTheater'' she can occasionally be seen not wearing it.
61	* ObsessivelyOrganized: In one episode of ''Supercute Adventures'', it is revealed that she suffers from an extreme case of obsessive compulsive tendencies. She freaks out upon seeing people make a mess in her own house, and will do anything to keep everything clean and in their proper place.
62	* PinkMeansFeminine: Besides her red hood, My Melody is more commonly seen wearing her pink colored hood. My Melody's pink hood was introduced in 1976.
63	* ProneToTears: In ''WesternAnimation/HelloKittysFurryTaleTheater'', My Melody is very sensitive and can sometimes be found crying. One episode has her literally crying over spilt milk as she is cleaning the floor in the episode "Catula". Another episode, titled "Hello Mother Goose" had Little Bo Peep (played by My Melody) crying over her lost sheep.
64	* ShrinkingViolet: In ''Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater'', she is timid and the most sensitive character of the series.
65	* TenderTears: In one episode of the anime, My Melody is seen crying when she's very worried about her human friends.
66	* TheDitz: In the 2005 anime, she isn't dumb but is a real airhead.
67	* TheHeart: She plays this role in the 2005 anime with her rival Kuromi. While Kuromi really dislikes My Melody for various accidents in the past, My Melody still sees good in her heart.
68	* ThePollyanna: My Melody is always optimistic and she can be rarely angry. This is especially notable in the 2005 ''Anime/OnegaiMyMelody'' where she never gets angry.
69	* VocalEvolution: In Japan, Rei Sakuma's performance as My Melody has evolved over the years. In the 1989 [=OVA=] ''My Melody no Akazukin'', My Melody's voice [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Cc1tvo56fk was notably higher pitched and much cuter]]. In ''Hello Kitty's Animation Theater'' and ''Onegai My Melody'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okAVTv9Yodk her voice sounded more calm]] and toned down the pitch. Starting in 2014, her voice returned to being [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-RyKW0bskI high pitched while still sounding relaxed.]]
70	* WhiteBunny: She along with the rest of her family are white rabbits. The exception is her second cousin Mellow (Little Forest Fellow) who has brown fur, while his face and stomach contain white fur.

103	----
104	* ArtisticLicenseSpace: The twins are apparently literal stars, but they appear as small children, and came to Earth from Omoiyari Star in the Yume Star-Cloud to become the 'best, shiniest stars they can be,' according to the Sanrio website. Safe to say, real stars aren't this adorable.
105	* BigBrotherInstinct: Despite Kiki being the younger twin, he's not afraid to do anything for Lala. Best shown in the [=OVAs=].

117	* SignificantBirthDate: Their birthday is on Christmas Eve.
118	* SupremeChef: Sanrio's official website describes Lala as a great cook.
119	* TokenHuman: The Little Twin Stars are Sanrio's most prominent human(-looking) characters, with most of their contemporaries being animals. Or food, in Gudetama's case.

143	Formerly known as Hitsuji-san (literally "Sheep/Lamb-san"), My Sweet Piano (aka "Piano-chan") is a female sheep with pink wool who is one of the main residents of Mariland and one of My Melody's best friends alongside Flat and Risu. She's very friendly, and sheepish (no pun intended) but enjoys picking flowers with My Melody.
144	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JunkoTakeuchi (regularly since 2005, ''Anime/OnegaiMyMelody'')
145	----
146	* ADayInTheLimeLight: [[https://i.pinimg.com/736x/88/a7/51/88a7519f5d9e9aa73fb4b92ff2cfb296--bakery-cafe-cafe-shop.jpg She even received her own dedicated exhibit at Hong Kong]] in 2015 (during "Year Of The Sheep").
147	* ADogNamedDog: Before 2005, she was originally known as "Lamb-san". Most of the animals of Mari Land are named this way, but Sanrio decided she was marketable and gave her the name Piano later.
148	* BreakoutCharacter: Piano started out as a minor character in the universe of My Melody and wasn't as prominent as Flat and Risu in any Sanrio related project until the debut of ''Onegai My Melody'' in 2005 when she became a supporting character. After the anime wrapped up in 2009, she quickly became popular causing Sanrio to immediately make her more prominent beginning in Main/TheNewTens decade [[note]] such as being featured on "Hello Kitty Online", the Nintendo DS game "Loving Life with Hello Kitty & Friends", and Hello Kitty Seasons on the Wii [[/note]] bumping her up to main character status. She was very prominent during My Melody's 40th Anniversary, and even gained two specials looks to make her stand out more (notably a pink or [[https://data.whicdn.com/images/275045630/original.png red bow with white polka dots]], [[https://data.whicdn.com/images/98579670/original.jpg and a simple pink bow]]) and became a meetable character at Puroland and Harmonyland. Piano even managed to appear as a background character on ''Supercute Adventures'' where she was given a brief speaking role.
149	** Piano even collaborated with "Maison de Fleur" twice ([[https://i.imgur.com/KYO21Ms.jpg first in 2016]] and again in 2021), where they created special perfumes, purses, and plushies of Piano.
150	* CountingSheep:
151	** In the anime, Piano is seen jumping across a single fence to help Flat go to sleep.
152	** One 2020 Twitter post from My Melody's official Twitter shows [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e7/66/b9/e766b9ea8d187aecb8827507e4e2f169.png her trying to go to sleep while she's imagining different variations of Piano.]]
153	* PinkMeansFeminine: She's the pinkest resident of Mariland, and one of the pinkest Sanrio characters next to Bonbonribbon.
154	* SpoiledSweet: She is very gentle and pampered but a little spoiled. However she is a big sweetheart with other people she encounters and meets. Especially towards My Melody, Flat, and Kuromi and My Melody's other friends and family.
155	* SweetSheep: It's in her name! She's a very nice girl and such a sweetheart to everybody.
156	* SuddenlySpeaking: While Piano can only communicate by bleating in the anime and some live shows at Puroland and Harmonyland. In the web series ''Hello Kitty And Friends Supercute Adventures'' hosted on Sanrio's Official American Youtube Channel. She's able to speak normally (or at least saying a few words) instead of bleating as seen in the Season 2 episode "Cinnamoroll's Dance Craze". However, in the Season 4 Girls Day episode ''Kuromi's Girls' Day Toy Hunt'', she communicates by bleating again.
157	** Piano is also able to speak normally on some of Sanrio's video games such as ''Loving Life with Hello Kitty & Friends'', ''Hello Kitty Online'', and ''Hello Kitty Seasons''.
158	** Outside of video games and animated content, when she first entered the "Sanrio Character Ranking Contest" in 2013 she made the following public pledge by saying "It’ll be a bit scary, but if I make it below No. 80, I’ll shave my fur!". For her second entry to the [[https://otakumode.com/news/53875d8f111ef2d42f0013ad/Aiming-for-a-Cinderella-Story!-Introducing-My-Sweet-Piano "Sanrio Character Ranking" in 2014]], she said "I want even more people to know of Piano-chan. Please support me!".
159	* ThoseTwoGirls: In ''Supercute Adventures'', she's frequently seen hanging out with Pikki (Keroppi's older sister), notably in the episode ''Kuromi's Girls Day Toy Hunt'' and ''Kuromi's Funhouse''.
160	* TheUnintelligible: She only bleats, but everyone understands her anyway. Outside the anime, Piano is able to talk normally such as Sanrio's now defunct MMORPG game ''Hello Kitty Online'', and the Nintendo Wii game ''Hello Kitty Seasons''.

312	----
313	* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: The 2007 movie follows a similar origin story for Cinnamoroll but with a small difference.

In the character's official backstory and manga series, his mother is the sky, while his father was the sun but are never mentioned in the movie. Despite the differences, the movie and ''Fluffy Fluffy Cinnamoroll'' manga series does feature Mocha being the first person that Cinnamoroll befriended.
314	* AnthropomorphicShift: In early merchandise up till mid 2007, [[http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/7100000/Cinnamoroll-Comics-cinnamoroll-7167316-473-500.jpg Cinnamoroll used to be seen standing on all fours]]. This was phased out and Sanrio stuck with him walking on two legs.
315	* AscendedExtra: In ''Supercute Adventures'', Cinnamoroll appeared in the later episodes of Season 1 as a background character before becoming a main character starting in Season 2.
316	* BadassAdorable: Cinnamoroll is seen rescuing his cafe owner Anna in ''Cinnamon The Movie'' before she falls during the climax.

318	* BreakoutCharacter: Cinnamoroll started gaining popularity in Japan beginning in 2005 with the ''Fluffy Fluffy Cinnamoroll'' manga series. This led to Sanrio eventually creating the movie in 2007 ''Cinnamon The Movie''. Between 2007 and 2008, Cinnamoroll was the second most popular Sanrio character next to Hello Kitty. He typically ends up as the Number #1 Sanrio character for the company's annual "Sanrio Character Ranking" contest.
319	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the early years of his existence, Cinnamoroll [[note]] back when he was called Baby Cinnamon [[/note]] used to not be able to speak full sentences and could only bark and whimper.

322	* MeaningfulName: His tail is curly like a cinnamon roll.
323	* PreciousPuppy: One of the most well-known dog characters.
324	* ShrinkingViolet: In ''Supercute Adventures'', he's very shy and doesn't like being the center of attention, and can get overwhelmed to the point of tears.
325	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cinnamon rolls, of course.
326	* TheQuietOne: In ''The Adventures of Hello Kitty & Friends'' and ''Supercute Adventures'', Cinnamoroll is very soft spoken and doesn't talk that much. When he does talk, it's barely above a whisper.
327	* LoveInterest: In all Sanrio related media, Mocha served as Cinnamoroll's love interest. Not only is she the first person to become his friend (as seen in the manga and 2007 movie), but has the closest friendship with him. However, Chiffon also has a secret crush on him resulting with Mocha and Chiffon occasionally getting bitter with each other over him.

Pre-2006, merchandise featuring Usahana would depict her hanging out with [[https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dt5z8PAIYlQ/TtUUFelVqmI/AAAAAAAAAN0/ywbtYH4a8Og/s1600/head_usahana.jpg a cast of different animals]], but with a similar design as her. Merchandise made after ''Dreaming Ballerina'' came out feature her with [[https://cache.desktopnexus.com/thumbseg/1364/1364257-bigthumbnail.jpg her classmates]], who are all bunnies but have more unique designs. In the now-defunct MMO ''Hello Kitty Online'', she was shown with the pre-2006 set of side characters.

433	* {{Bambification}}: Firmly adheres to this trope, being a rather adorable shy fawn in a colorful forest.
434	* FurryReminder: His profile mentions that he's shy, which is good way to describe real life deer and their fawns.

465
466	-> Voiced by Creator/JunkoTakeuchi (Japan), Creator/ShunsukeTakeuchi (''Series/GudetamaAnEggcellentAdventure''), Creator/RogerCraigSmith (English dub of ''Gudetama: An Eggcellent Adventure'')
467	----
468	* BrilliantButLazy: Emphasis on the LAZY. On occasion, Gudetama has shown up the humans around it in activities ranging from a rhythm-based mobile game, to swatting a feisty mosquito. It also sometimes offers sagely advice (often of the depressing sort) that includes LampshadeHanging with a dash of OnlySaneMan (Egg?), usually when the humans around it are being shallow/foolish.
469	* CharacterCatchphrase: ''"Darii..."'' ("だりぃ..."), which means "I feel lazy" or "I have no energy."
470	* TheEeyore: A more accurate translation of the "Gude" in its name apparently references the ''total lack of motivation brought about by depression''. Yeah...
471	* HelpImStuck: It sometimes gets its butt stuck inside its eggshell.
472	* InterpretativeCharacter: Besides its standard egg yolk design, it has appeared as many other kinds of cooked eggs (including boiled eggs, fried eggs, and egg sushi) and even foods that use egg as an ingredient, such as mayonnaise.
473	* LazyBum: Gudetama is always tired, and never feels motivated to do very much other than curl up and take a nap.
474	* MeaningfulName: Its name is a combination of ''gudegude'' (ぐでぐで), meaning lazy, and ''tamago'' (たまご), the word for "egg."
475	* MiseryTrigger: Gudetama will get upset if its resting is disturbed in any way.
476	-->''(after its bacon blanket is taken away)'' Ahhhhh! I'm freeeeeezing!
477	* MoeAnthropomorphism: It's an egg.
478	* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Some of the humor involving it comes from its visible butt.
479	-->'''Announcer''': ''(in a commercial for Top Ramen)'' Top Ramen has no added MSG! And you have no pants.\
480	'''Gudetama''': ''Are...oshiri mieteru?''[[labelnote:Translation]]Oh, no...is my sunny side showing?[[/labelnote]]
481	* NoBiologicalSex: Because it's apparently an unhatched egg that could turn into just about anything. Spelled out in one episode when a farm worker sorting chickens according to sex comes across a whole separate partition just for Gudetamas!
482	* NonStandardCharacterDesign: One of the few Sanrio characters who isn't based on an animal.
483	* PerpetualFrowner: Gudetama is never seen smiling and is always frowning.
484	* ReallyFondOfSleeping: Gudetama loves nothing better than to lie down and sleep, usually on an egg white while using a bacon strip for a blanket. It will complain about being cold if somebody takes away its "blanket."
485	* RedOniBlueOni: Because it's so lazy and passive, Gudetama is the Blue Oni to any character it's paired with, including the energetic Shakipiyo and the cheerful Kirimi-chan.
486	* SecondPlaceIsForWinners: In real life, Gudetama entered a 2013 character contest held by Sanrio. It won second place, with a salmon fillet character named Kirimi-chan taking first place, but Gudetama went on to become much more popular.
487	* {{Sloth}}: Its defining trait is its laziness. It loves to sleep, and will complain about wanting to go home even when it hasn't done anything or gone anywhere.
488	* TerseTalker: Gudetama speaks slowly and in short sentences, owing to its lazy nature.
489	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: A given, considering the character is, well, ''an egg'', but Gudetama itself craves soy sauce, as it is a common condiment with Japanese raw egg rice.

497

500	* ArtEvolution: While Mell's appearance hasn't changed very much, Mell had a V shaped mouth in older material before changed to a regular smile with her mouth looking more curved.
501	* AudienceParticipation: While Mell was announced by Sanrio in December 2010, she didn't make her first physical appearance until January 25, 2011. Sanrio actually encourage real life participation from social media to encourage her to come out of her house.
502	* GratuitousFrench: Due to being from France, she loves mixing in some French language into her sentences.
503	* GreenEyedMonster: While Mell is good friends with My Melody, she does get envious of her popularity when she's not around. One video from Puroland's Youtube channel shows [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTO0uB7BlIE&list=PLddZH89PjCMNrT3LgBHuKr1_Zs-fcW0JH&index=6 her working at a store that features a pile of various Sanrio characters]]. Mell looks at a pile of My Melody stuffed animals and holds one of them in her arms. While doing this, she starts to feel a bit sad. This resulted in one of two [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tv5LPFHxzkg follow-ups]] in which Mell goes to the designers (one of which happened to be her creator, Miyuki Okumura) for help in the creation of stuffed animals of her. In the end, [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kLxWwYqJE8I she succeeds in getting the Mell stuffed animals commercialized.]]
504	* {{Hikikomori}}: She was originally this between December 27, 2010 and January 24, 2011.
