Poniko (ポニ子, "ponytail child") is a character appearing in Madotsuki's dream. She is held in high regard with fans. Her house is found by diving into a pool located in an igloo at the Snow World.
Description
{C}
{C}Poniko is a blonde girl with a ponytail, green shirt, a brown skirt and red shoes. She, like 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 after flicking on and off the lights.
It is also known by fans of the Nintendo game Mother/Earthbound, that outside of her house looks a lot like the location Magicant in Mother 1/ Earthbound Zero. Mainly because many areas in Yume Nikki are inspired by Mother 1.
Fan Speculation
Character - 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; replaced by the UBOA when Madotsuki gives up after flipping that light switch so many times. It's also been speculized that she saved Madotsuki's life (possibly from a car wreck) but the memory of her death haunted Madotsuki, taking form in Uboa.
We still don´t know who of them (Ponico and Uboa) is the good one. Uboa might can be the devil, because Uboa teleport you to the unescapeable room with water(or blood) on the ground. Ponico might can be the good, but we don´t know how she thinks.I think she is a little bit arogant or wants to ignor Madotsuki, because she doesn´t react when Madotsuki tried to interact with her. Maybe Poniko dislikes Madotsuki or she has some bad memories with her. So she reacted angry and transformed into Uboa when Madotsuki got on her nervs.
Room - 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.
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.
