Mel

Mel | Main character of Project bUDDI | she/her

Who's the hottest Project bUDDI player on YouTube? Who has the most wins, the best tips, the coolest gameplay? She's known as BenthicRose on the internet, but we know her as Mel, a self-confident, sarcastic person who believes that winning is the end-all-be-all. She exudes an aura of prickly self-confidence and enjoys putting other players down. If you've got a poor record, you're a nobody to Mel. 

Project bUDDI is a game, and Mel is its most competitive player. To her, winning is everything. Which means things like making friends and hanging out during weeklies are of no interest to her. If you're not winning, why play at all? Though her claim of suddenly appearing at the Platinum Pines FullLife Tower because of lack of competition at her home Tower reeks of a cover-up. Why is Mel really at Platinum Pines? What does she know about the secret final bUDDI evolution stage? And could her hard exterior be a shell for an inner vulnerability? 

Mel's bUDDI is named Sasha, who takes the form of an eel. He's got a cruel aura about him and is very unfriendly towards other bUDDIs. He laughs the loudest when Mel disses opponents. His Water element matches perfectly with his slippery nature.
