Memoca (メモカ) is a humanoid seagull and one of the main characters in Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea. She is Wadanohara's familiar and said to not have originally been an inhabitant of the sea.
Physical Description[]
Memoca has raceless white skin and short white layered hair with a yellow streak covering her right eye. A small white sailor hat is tilted towards the left side of her head. Her eyes are golden yellow. She also has seagull wings as arms and a small white bird tail.
She wears a white sailor-like dress reaching slightly below her hips. The collar, pocket edge, and lower portion of the sleeves are accented with black and a small golden anchor design is found in the lower left corner. The front of the dress contains a large light gray oval with a slightly darker lining and six golden buttons. Memoca also wears tan stockings and black Mary Jane shoes.
Personality[]
Memoca is the most energetic of Wadanohara's familiars. She tends to speak her mind even when it's not appropriate, such as when she goes as far as to ridicule Uomihime. She commonly has a mischievous attitude, evident when she teases Dolpi to tears and harasses Lobco by throwing slugs at her.
She is extremely protective and loyal to her friends, showing hostility to Samekichi and Chlomaki immediately after they insulted Wadanohara and Dolpi respectively.
Memoca also refers to her friends with nicknames (Wadda for Wadanohara, Dolph for Dolpi, and Fukamin for Fukami). As stated in the manga, her favorite color is orange. Her favorite food is various types of fruits and sea grapes. She does not like anything containing fowl. Her specialties include drawing with crayons and flying.
Background[]
Memoca used to live along the coast. [1] Memoca mentions having visited the Totsusa Kingdom before, though it is unknown at what point in time she exactly went there. Later on, Memoca became Wadanohara’s familiar and accompanied her on her trip to the Witch World.

Relationships[]
Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea Cast[]
Wadanohara[]
Wadanohara is Memoca's master and friend. Memoca typically speaks in an informal and casual manner to Wadanohara, using the nicknames "Wadda" or "Wadachi" to refer to her. Memoca was Wadanohara's first familiar after Samekichi disappeared. [2] [3] She is also the second oldest familiar of Wadanohara. [4] Because of this, she is trusted by Wadanohara who will often tell Memoca of her old memories. [4] Memoca has a sense of responsibility as Wadanohara's familiar, and when she saw Wadanohara crying over Samekichi, she knew she had to take the initiative to protect her. [4] She is also the one that introduced Fukami to Wadanohara. [5] Wadanohara trusts Memoca, and they have been friends for a long time. [3]
Dolpi[]
Dolpi is Memoca's friend and fellow familiar of Wadanohara. Memoca has a habit of scaring and teasing Dolpi to the point of tears for her own amusement; these shenanigans are usually put to an end by Fukami or Wadanohara. In the manga, Dolpi chased Memoca with an ax for teasing her too much. In spite of this, Memoca is quick to comfort Dolpi after Chlomaki compares her to a shark. Deep-Sea Prisoner has also said when Dolpi gets older, she will "get so much revenge" on Memoca. [6]
Fukami[]
Fukami is Memoca's friend and a fellow familiar of Wadanohara. Memoca recommended Fukami to Wadanohara to become a familiar. She said, "He is strong and will be a reliable escort! His personality is a little problematic, but we can probably work it out!" [5] They have a good relationship with each other as Memoca is not hesitant to voice her opinions towards Fukami. In the manga, when Fukami wondered what he did wrong after cooking duck for Wadanohara, Memoca simply replied, "You suck."
Samekichi[]
Samekichi is Memoca's fellow familiar of Wadanohara. Memoca was shown to dislike him heavily in the first half of the story due to a misunderstanding and him being rude to Wadanohara. In the Reboot, it is revealed Memoca was Wadanohara's first familiar soon after Samekichi had disappeared. Once Wadanohara told Memoca the story of how Samekichi and her met, Memoca thought within herself she would not forgive Samekichi for making Wadanohara cry, and if they ever met, she "wouldn't hold back." However, all has been reconciled once the truth was revealed Samekichi was not, in fact, a traitor. Memoca was the first to apologize to Samekichi when she learned she had misjudged him. [4]
Nekoyama[]
Nekoyama and Memoca are acquaintances. Memoca did not like how he asked Wadanohara to collect him starfruits on Star Isle, calling him "lazy." Nonetheless, the two do not seem to be on bad terms.
Minero[]
Minero and Memoca are acquaintances. She is annoyed by Minero's behavior.
Lobco[]
Lobco and Memoca are acquaintances. After Lobco corrected her, Memoca became annoyed and started teasing her by throwing slugs at her.
Other Characters[]
Minami[]
Minami and Memoca can be seen interacting in a handful of artworks - two headers and a Sunahama update from March 18th, 2017 depicting her perched on top of his head. It should also be noted, excluding his father, Memoca is the only one of his mother's familiars he has been seen interacting with so far. The two seem relatively close. Memoca also calls him "Minamin" with her penchant for nicknames. [7]
Abilities[]
Natural Abilities[]
- Nigh-Absolute Immortality - Like most non-human characters in the Deep-Sea Universe, Memoca cannot die from natural causes such as aging or disease. [8]
- Animal Transformation - Being a seagull, she is able to switch between a humanoid and animal form.
Battle Statistics[]
Trivia[]
- It was said Memoca visited the Totsusa Kingdom before she was Wadanohara's familiar and able to see Artamos in his rabbit form.
- Similar to Dolpi, Memoca tends to be assumed male by some fans due to her demeanor and appearance.
- Memoca's name is an anagram of "Kamome". [9]
- Kamome means "seagull" in Japanese.
- Despite blatantly vocalizing her hatred of roast fowl in the beginning of Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea, nothing aside from the item's intended purpose (which is healing 250HP) actually happens should the player give it to her prior to the cutscene.
- She has a (seagull) knife as her favorite weapon.
- During Normal End 1 of Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea, the way Memoca, Dolpi, and Fukami died bear a striking resemblance to the nightmares Wadanohara had in-game. [10]
