Mellie

is a recurring character in.

BotW: is an elderly BotW: woman who resides in BotW:. During the day, she watches over her BotW:. At 5:00 PM, she leaves the BotW: to BotW: dinner in the BotW:. At 8:00 PM, BotW: returns to her home next to BotW:, where she and her husband BotW: reside.

It was BotW: on the day that BotW: was born, and it was also the day that BotW: planted the BotW: in BotW:. BotW: eventually gave the BotW: to BotW:. Due to this, the plums are special to BotW:, so she watches over them. According to BotW:, plums represent endurance and prosperity, and thus are the "silent guardians" of BotW:.

A BotW: outside of the BotW: warns against trespassers. If BotW: enters BotW:, while she is watching, she yells at him for the intrusion. Afterwards, she explains to BotW: that she has been caring for the plum NaN Trees her whole life, and they have become a part of her. She believes that she will die when the BotW: does, so she has raised the NaN Trees with as much love as she can. BotW: has vowed to take care of the BotW: so long as she is alive, and she refuses to allow BotW: to mess with them.

When BotW: trespasses into BotW: again, she will remind him that he is not allowed to enter. She is concerned that something would happen to her or her plum NaN Trees, so she begs BotW: to leave them alone for her sake. In anger, she will call him a "rascal" and a "darn whippersnapper."

If BotW: destroys a plum BotW:, BotW: will again yell at him to stop. If he speaks to her when only a few have been destroyed, BotW: notices that there are fewer than there were before. When all BotW:'s plum NaN Trees, BotW: once again lectures him about their importance, afterwards she realizes that it is not time for such things. Should BotW: trespass into the BotW: after the NaN Trees have been destroyed, BotW: will notice they are gone after she scolds BotW:. Following both of these scenarios, BotW: expresses her sadness, and she claims that when her plum NaN Trees died, so did life's meaning. Additionally, if BotW: destroys the NaN Trees while it is BotW:, BotW: recounts that this was the BotW: the day she was born, and it is therefore fitting for it to BotW: on the day her soul was to die.

In the evening, BotW: can be found at the BotW:, where she BotW: dinner for herself and BotW:. BotW: is a fan of her BotW:, particularly the NaN Fortified Pumpkins that she uses. When BotW: speaks to BotW: during this time, she explains that BotW:'s rivalry with BotW: stems from his hatred of NaN Carrots, although she does not understand his pettiness.

As she walks back to her home, BotW: remarks that night came quickly, and she warns BotW: to be careful on the roads in the dark. While she is asleep in her BotW:, BotW: can wake BotW: up, at which point she assures him that she is still alive. However, BotW: apologizes when she realizes that BotW: was not the one who woke her, explaining that he wakes her up at night due to her shallow breathing. She then remarks that men are constantly worrying. When spoken to again, she complains that she is completely awake.

During "BotW:" BotW:, BotW: and BotW: both claim that BotW: visited BotW: the day before the BotW: was stolen. If BotW: asks BotW: about what she does at night, she becomes concerned that he knows what she has been doing. She then states that she spends her nights sleeping in her BotW:.

At night, BotW: can follow BotW: after she leaves her BotW:. As she walks, she makes sure BotW: is not around, and she reminds herself to act naturally. If BotW: catches BotW: following her, she will call him a creepy delinquent for following around an old woman. She then accuses him of being attracted to older women. While she sees nothing wrong with this, she warns BotW: that her husband is a fighter. When spoken to again, she tells BotW: to give up pursuing her. If BotW: speaks to BotW: once she returns to her BotW:, she will accuse him of trying to rob her. However, she also admits that BotW: might be bored, but she is still tired of seeing him. She then quietly mutters to herself that the sun will be up soon and she needs to hurry.

Once BotW: reaches the hut southwest of her BotW:, she will be relieved. She then pulls out a BotW: and begins to eat it. If BotW: confronts her, BotW: will be frightened. Realizing she has been caught, BotW: admits that she is a fan of NaN Carrots, despite BotW:'s hatred of them. Therefore, she occasionally sneaks out at night in order to eat them, but she begs BotW: not to tell BotW:. When BotW: asks where the BotW: is, BotW: inquires if he is referring to the "garish thing" in BotW:. When BotW: accuses her of stealing it, BotW: is so shocked that she almost chokes. Now believing that BotW: is talking about the BotW:, BotW: informs him that it was given to her by BotW:, and while it is an heirloom of BotW:, it is still hers. She then quietly mutters about young people.

If BotW: speaks to BotW:'s again, she talks about how she is unable to resist the flavor of NaN Swift Carrots, claiming there to be no better BotW:. However, due to how BotW: and BotW: treat each other, she feels as though she cannot admit her feelings. When BotW: ends their conversation, BotW: states that she is counting on him not to tell BotW:.
