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 interpreted to have open eyes. She lives alone in a single room, like [[Madotsuki's Room|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.
Poniko is one of the major characters of the ''Yume Nikki'' [[Yume Nikki:Official Manga|manga]]. In it, she wears a turtleneck sweater and has a solid-colored skirt rather than a patterned one. She also has overall straps which connect to her skirt and go over her shoulders. She is one of six dreamers that created the collective dream world and was isolated in her home in the Pink Sea.


==Fan Speculation==
When Madotsuki encounters Poniko for the first time, she appears to look up to her, asking herself if "she'll be [her] friend" and stating "her clothes are cute too". However, Poniko quickly transforms into Uboa once Madotsuki approaches her and attacks by hitting Madotsuki with the Umbrella effect, stealing her effects and trapping her in Uboa's Trap. As such, Madotsuki exacts revenge.

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==
During the story's climax, Poniko uses Madotsuki's stolen effects to reach [[Yume Nikki:Seccom Masada-sensei|Seccom Masada-sensei]] and beheads him as Uboa, taking him to [[Yume Nikki:Mars-san|Mars-san]] to see what they can do about Madotsuki's increasingly violent nature. Poniko is tasked with exterminating Madotsuki as Masada is transformed into a window-like pattern on Poniko's shirt, similar to Madotsuki's pattern. Instead of killing Madotsuki, she uses the Knife effect to destroy Madotsuki's dream diary, causing the dream world to collapse in order to free herself and Madotsuki. However, a large [[Yume Nikki:Henkei Shita|Henkei Shita]]-like monster formed by Madotsuki's bad memories spots Poniko, consuming her as revenge for attacking her as Uboa.
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.

She can be found inside a conical house located on one of the southern islands in the Pink Sea. She is the sole resident of the Pink Sea, living alone in a single, room, much like Madotsuki herself. In her room, she simply wanders around and has no reaction to the player if she is interacted with normally, and she will show the standard reactions to the Knife and Stoplight effects. However, she will perform a small stomping animation when attracted with the Cat effect.

When interacting with the light switch upon entering Poniko's room, there is a 1/64 chance that the room will change and Poniko will be replaced with Uboa, which will take Madotsuki to Uboa's Trap upon interaction.

In the manga

Poniko in the manga.

Poniko is one of the major characters of the Yume Nikki manga. In it, she wears a turtleneck sweater and has a solid-colored skirt rather than a patterned one. She also has overall straps which connect to her skirt and go over her shoulders. She is one of six dreamers that created the collective dream world and was isolated in her home in the Pink Sea.

When Madotsuki encounters Poniko for the first time, she appears to look up to her, asking herself if "she'll be [her] friend" and stating "her clothes are cute too". However, Poniko quickly transforms into Uboa once Madotsuki approaches her and attacks by hitting Madotsuki with the Umbrella effect, stealing her effects and trapping her in Uboa's Trap. As such, Madotsuki exacts revenge.

During the story's climax, Poniko uses Madotsuki's stolen effects to reach Seccom Masada-sensei and beheads him as Uboa, taking him to Mars-san to see what they can do about Madotsuki's increasingly violent nature. Poniko is tasked with exterminating Madotsuki as Masada is transformed into a window-like pattern on Poniko's shirt, similar to Madotsuki's pattern. Instead of killing Madotsuki, she uses the Knife effect to destroy Madotsuki's dream diary, causing the dream world to collapse in order to free herself and Madotsuki. However, a large Henkei Shita-like monster formed by Madotsuki's bad memories spots Poniko, consuming her as revenge for attacking her as Uboa.

Trivia

  • If Poniko is killed using the Knife effect before triggering the Uboa event, then Uboa will not appear in the room. Due to this, the two can be inferred to be the same character and Uboa is simply an alternate form or appearance of Poniko (or vice-versa).
    • Uboa also appears in the exact location Poniko was before the lights are switched.
