Meena is a character exclusive to the Apple Arcade game Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop. She is the Guide of the Dream World and is responsible for accidentally trapping Amitie and her friends in the Dream World there after borrowing power from Sig. In the game's Adventure Mode, she gives Mission Puyo challenges to the player.

Biography

Appearance

Meena is a small, cat-like creature with a black body wearing a white mask, which falls off whenever her expression changes. She wears a white T-shirt with splatters of color on it and a drawing of a sheep, along with splattered white rain boots. She is always seen holding a paintbrush in one hand and a cloud-shaped balloon with different colors on it in the other. She is only seen floating and doesn't seem to walk on the ground.

Personality

Meena has an innocent and lonely personality. After watching everyone from the Dream World for a long time, she wanted to be able to meet and talk with everyone and become friends with them. She is also considerate and not malicious as she is happy to return Amitie, Arle, and Ringo to the waking world when they request it, but becomes distressed when her magic does not work. Her eagerness to help and befriend others leads to her meddling in other characters' stories during the game. Being alone for so long seems to have made her a bit naive and desperate to make friends as she becomes distraught when Sig acts hostile to her and refuses to run away with her at the end of Lemres' route. Her naivete makes her similar to a young child from the real world. [1]

Abilities

According to Lemres' knowledge, Meena is a mysterious creature that dwells in the Dream World and is usually only able to do things like grant wishes when someone is dreaming. She is normally unable to do something as drastic as transporting people into the Dream World. Lemres and Ringo hypothesize during the story that she must have borrowed power from someone and became unable to control it, which made it so that she could no longer return Amitie and her friends to the waking world.

In the Dream World, Meena is almost omnipotent and can do many fantastical, impossible things such as shrinking Amitie, making duplicates of characters, altering characters' behavior, and teleporting quickly to different places.

Relationships

Sig
The power that allowed Meena to bring other people into the Dream World was lent to her by Sig, who Meena calls her friend. However, borrowing his power caused a change in his personality and by the end of Lemres' route, he claims to no longer have any need for Meena after she helped to unleash the rest of his magic. At the end of the game's story, she apologizes to Sig for putting him through so much, but he forgives her because he was able to see everything that happened even when he was not in control of his own body. He calls Meena his friend, much to her delight.

History

Major spoilers for Meena's appearance and role in the story of Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop.

Prior to the beginning of the game, and as detailed in Sig's Episode, Meena learns of Sig's latent red power and decides to follow him around. Eventually, Sig reveals that he can see and hear Meena, which surprises her. Sig mistakes Meena for a bug, but she decides to play along with it, since Sig is willing to befriend her. Meena soon asks Sig if she can borrow some of his red power, in order to send everyone into the Dream World and make them all happy. While Sig doesn't fully understand her intentions, he still agrees to lend his power, since he wants everyone to be happy as well. Meena promises that she'll return his powers eventually and heads off to help out with everyone's dreams, unaware of what is happening to Sig.

Meena first appears in the opening prologue of Adventure Mode, where she proclaims her excitement to finally being able to interact with everyone and make their dreams come true. She thanks the individual (Sig) who gave her the powers to do so before running off to prepare everyone's arrival. She reappears in Chapter 3 of Amitie's episode, introducing herself to Amitie, Arle, Carbuncle, and Ringo as their Dream Guide. She reveals that it was her that brought them all to the Dream World in order to play and have fun with them for a little bit. She demonstrates her powers by shrinking Amitie and teleporting them around the Dream World. When Arle asks if they can still return to their own worlds, Menna learns that she can't send them back for some reason. Nervous, she distracts everyone with a Puyo battle against an illusion of Amitie as she runs off.

Eventually, Meena learns that Lemres is trailing her and worries that he will soon come across Sig. Meena meets up with Sig and tells him that they need to get going before Lemres catches up to them. However, Sig wants to stay and battle Lemres to test out his newly unleashed powers. Despite being the one to unleash his latent red power, Sig tells Meena that she is no longer needed. This upsets Meena, as she was under the impression that the two of them were friends. Upon loosing to Lemres, Sig runs off, with Meena chasing him from behind.

When Schezo starts trying to track her down, Meena creates illusions of Rulue, the Dark Prince, and Arle to distract him. However, Schezo is able to make quick work of them and eventually corners her. Sig eventually comes to Meena's aid, stating that he still needs her until their powers have reached its full potential. Sig battles Schezo, giving Meena an opening to run off. Meena starts to take a greater notice of Sig's change in personality, just as Ms. Accord shows up. Meena doesn't trust her initially and creates an illusion of Accord so that she can run off again. Once Accord makes it clear that she wants to help, Meena finally opens up about how terrible she feels for everything thats happened so far. Accord reassures her that she can count on the others to resolve this predicament.

At the beginning of "The Grand Finale", Meena is shown using every last bit of her magic to prevent Sig from taking control of the Dream World. Soon, Ecolo summons both Sig and Meena to the location of Amitie and the others. Meena pleads with Amitie and Co. to help turn Sig back to normal, since she's not powerful enough to do it herself. Once Amitie succeeds in returning Sig back to normal, Meena apologizes to Sig for putting him through so much. Sig forgives her and decides to befriend her for real, regardless of if she's a bug or not. As everything begins to return to normal, Meena returns to the Dream World, reassuring everyone that she'll always be with them in their dreams. Afterwards, Meena is unlocked as a playable character.

Meena also makes consistent appearances within the Side Stories; usually trying to grant the wishes of the characters. This often leads to accidental consequences, such as giving Feli amnesia, or completely changing Lidelle's personality. She also ends up being followed by Ally and Rafisol, who are looking for a way back to their world.
