Poniko's Room (Light out)

Poniko's Room (Light on)

Poniko (ポニ子, "Ponytail girl") is a character that appears in Madotsuki's dream. Her house is found in The Pink Sea, which is accessed by diving into a pool located in an igloo in the Snow World.

Description

Poniko's room

Poniko is a blonde girl with a ponytail, green shirt, a brown skirt and red shoes. In the game, she has either open blue eyes which are constantly looking to her left side, or her eyes are closed, crying blue teardrops. In the manga her design is interpretated to have open eyes. She lives alone in a single room, like Madotsuki herself. She may prefer solitude, as she is located in one of the deeper dream locations and is the only NPC present in The Pink Sea. At her house there is nothing to interact with except a light switch. There is a 1/64 chance that Poniko will change into Uboa after flicking on and off the lights.

Fan Speculation

Poniko as she appears in the manga

It is speculated she's Madotsuki's ideal person, her "hero" to look up to, a nice normal girl. In the manga, Madotsuki even says "I wonder if she'll be my friend" and "her clothes are cute too". It is also thought that Poniko wants to ignore Madotsuki as she doesn't react when Madotsuki tries to interact with her. Her transforming into Uboa could be an angry reaction to Madotsuki for flicking the lights on and off.

Actions

No matter what you do, she doesn't seem to pay any attention to you. The only exception to this is equipping the Knife, which makes her flee, or using the Cat effect, which draws her towards Madotsuki. This is a trait shared by many characters, however.

Trivia

Poniko is a popular character with fans.

 ==Description==
 [[File:Ponikoroom.jpg|thumb|Poniko's room]]
-Poniko is a blonde girl with a ponytail, green shirt, a brown skirt and red shoes and with blue eyes. She, like [[Madotsuki's Room|Madotsuki herself]], lives alone in a very bare house. She seems to want to be alone, as Madotsuki is only able to reach her house by going through The Pink Sea. At her house there is not much to interact with except a light switch. There is a 1/64 chance that Poniko will change into [[Uboa]] after flicking on and off the lights.

-===Character===
+It is speculated she's Madotsuki's ideal person, her "hero" to look up to, a nice normal girl. In the manga, Madotsuki even says "I wonder if she'll be my friend" and "her clothes are cute too".
-Some say Poniko is a seperate entity all together while others say she's Madotsuki's ideal person, her "hero" to look up to, a nice normal girl with flowing hair. In the manga, Madotsuki even says "I wonder if she'll be my friend" and "Her Clothes are cute too" and when replaced by Uboa when Madotsuki gives up after flipping the light switch so many times. It's also been speculated that she saved Madotsuki's life (possibly from a car wreck), but the memory of her death haunted Madotsuki, taking form in Uboa.
+It is also thought that Poniko wants to ignore Madotsuki as she doesn't react when Madotsuki tries to interact with her. Her transforming into Uboa could be an angry reaction to Madotsuki for flicking the lights on and off.
-It is still unknown which one of them (Poniko or Uboa) is the good one. Uboa might be evil because it can teleport Madotsuki to the inescapable room with water (or blood) on the ground. Poniko might be good, but no one can be for sure. It is also thought that Poniko may also be a bit arrogant or just wants to ignore Madotsuki as she doesn´t react when Madotsuki tries to interact with her. Poniko may dislike Madotsuki or has bad memories about her. Her transforming into Uboa could be an angry reaction to Madotsuki when she gets on her nerves for flicking on and off the lights, or because she just angered her.
+==Actions==
+No matter what you do, she doesn't seem to pay any attention to you. The only exception to this is equipping the [[Effects#Knife_.EF.BC.88.E3.81.BB.E3.81.86.E3.81.A1.E3.82.87.E3.81.86.EF.BC.89|Knife]], which makes her flee, or using the [[Effects#Cat_.EF.BC.88.E3.81.AD.E3.81.93.EF.BC.89|Cat]] effect, which draws her towards [[Madotsuki]]. This is a trait shared by many characters, however.
-===Room ===
+==Trivia==
-Poniko and her room could be interpreted as early designs of a protagonist and her room, due to familiar aspects seen in Madotsuki's room.
+*Poniko is a popular character with fans.
-===Actions===
-No matter what you do, she doesn't seem to pay any attention to you, which is the point of some fandom hilarity. The only exception to this is running at her with a knife and using the cat effect. This is a trait shared by many characters, however.
