Explanations underneath

Chocola(t) Meilleure (meilleure is the feminine form for the adjective "better" in French) is one of the two main characters from a magical girl manga turned anime known as Sugar Sugar Rune in English. The other protagonist is Vanilla Mieux (mieux means best in French), her best friend with opposite looks and personality). It seems her name is sometimes written Chocolat (which does mean chocolate in French, with a silent "t") and sometimes Chocola (which I think I saw it several times on French covers and I believe it's the writing used in the French version)

From her original submitter : "I don't know if chocolate is close enough to a plant name but Chocola is my favourite character from this anime so I wanted to at least try to submit her"

As a pollrunner, I hesitated a bit when I saw that another family member was -at least occasionally- named Pepper and that her Mom was called Cinnamon since it shows an intention... but nevertheless I'd refused characters for less and chocolate is manufactured. I would have accepted Cacao/Cocoa.

Several characters named Momo have appeared in the polls before. They all -unless I messed up- have names written with the right kanji for "momo" to mean "peach" or in hiragana (which transcribes sound but not meaning), which means the meaning of their name is ambiguous, since "momo" has several meanings in Japanese. I didn't put Momos with names written with a kanji that had other meanings. (Note : from personal experience, I'll also note that Momo is sometimes the short for longer names, such as Maureen and Mohamed)

This specific Momo's a character of unspecified origin (lives in a fantasy world) from an eponymous novel written by the German author Michael Ende (yes, the one who wrote The NeverEnding Story). The animated series was a spin off an Italian animated adaptation of the novel. Several characters have traditionally Latin/Italian names such as Beppo, Nino or Livia -which is also the case in the book- and Ende wrote the book in Italy and stated that it was a testimony of his love for Italy. I believe that Momo's dark eyed in the novel but we're dealing with the TV version and I don't have any information potentially indicating that Momo could be Japanese / that her name was chosen because it could mean peach (no imagery of her being associated with it, no pink colored theme -momo also means pink when it means peach-, etc.)

Hence why I chose not to include those two in the first place. However, they belong in the Honorary Mentions.

Thinking about her

Wanted to draw her so I did. I'm thinking about doing another illustration but with Vanilla...
