Lovelitchi (ラブリっち Raburitchi), previously translated as Lovelytchi and also known by her stage name Lovelin, is a female adult Tamagotchi character who debuted on the Tamagotchi iD and in the first episode of the Tamagotchi! anime, though her overall debut was in the TamaCafe playset.
Lovelitchi would eventually become one of the main characters and mascots of the franchise. Her best Tama-Friend is Melodytchi, whom she makes and performs songs with, such as Happy Happy Harmony and Smile for Tomorrow.
Name Origin[]
The name Lovelitchi is derived from the english word Lovely, thus the spelling is actually Lovelytchi. But the letter 'y' isn't used as a vowel, only 'li' (リ). In English, Bandai America previously named her Lovelytchi on the TamaTown Tama-Go, but changed it to Lovelitchi in the Bright Way/9Go! dub of the anime and TamaTown, in order to keep the connection to Lovelin, her secret identity.

Appearance[]
Lovelitchi resembles a white bunny and may be based on an Angora rabbit. She has fluffy fur, pink cheeks, and two upright, woolly ears. Her eyes are teal with sparkle-shaped highlights. In both of her designs, she wears a dress, stockings, a heart-shaped purse, and decorations around her ears. There are two primary designs of Lovelitchi because her outfit was changed in Episode 95 of the Tamagotchi! anime.
In her original design, she wore a frilly blue dress with a fuzzy pink collar, dark pink stockings, and a blue ribbon on each ear. In "Is This a Confession? Mystery Profile", Lovelitchi's appearance had changed into Tama Heart form. The outfit change was given to Lovelitchi by her mother, Lovemamalitchi. The two Tama Hearts were added by Moriritchi. Lovelitchi's two bows were replaced with two ancient like Tama Hearts, and a pink beaded scrunchie similar to her Lovelin identity. Her dress color has been changed to pink with another white dress underneath, her neckline was changed with a blue bowtie with long ribbon strands, and her stockings' colors were changed to blue instead of pink. Her pink heart shoulder bag is still the same. Along with this, her modern artwork's head and ears were redrawn. Her head was made slightly bigger while her ears were made slightly thinner and longer.
Personality[]
Lovelitchi is a very sweet girl who cherishes her family and loves meeting new people. She is very kind and likes to help out, which can lead to her worrying about pleasing everyone. Due to bad experiences in the past, she used to believe that "idols can't have real friends", until she transferred to Tamagotchi School. Since then, her friends have helped her gain some confidence. Her favorite activity is singing, but she also likes dancing, and trying on new outfits. She is positive and hardworking, even when it comes to her career as a superstar, though sometimes she may end up overworking herself.
Throughout the anime series, it is mentioned that Lovelitchi enjoys reading though can be slightly air-headed at times. It is also revealed that her favorite food is Neapolitan ice cream, and her least favorite food is bell peppers. Lovelitchi is also depicted to be talented at drawing in some episodes.

The Big Race on Tama Street" and then made her major debut in "Tamagotchi School's Transfer Student". She lives in the TamaCafe with her family, Lovepapalitchi and Lovemamalitchi, which also acts as a cafe restaurant run by her mother and father. Lovelitchi leads a secret double-life under the stage name Lovelin. As Lovelin, she is the most popular idol of all in Tamagotchi Town. She appears in many activities as a host, singer, reporter, and often as the lead character in television shows.
In the first season, Lovelitchi becomes friends with Mametchi, Kuchipatchi, Memetchi, and many other Tamagotchis. This makes her struggle with keeping her identity as Lovelin secret as she does not want to lie to them, but also is afraid of getting bullied again like what had happened at her previous schools. Eventually, she tells the truth in "Listen! Lovelin's Confession" and her friends happily assure her that they are still friends and promise to keep her secret between them.
In the second season, Lovelitchi's phone, Telelin, becomes sentient after the Kuchipatchi of Truth sends Lovelitchi and her friends back in time to help an ancient society of Tamagotchis. After returning to the present, Telelin would remain sentient and join Lovelitchi on her adventures, usually riding in Lovelitchi's bag. In "Confession! Lovelitchi is Lovelin!", Lovelitchi eventually reveals her secret identity as Lovelin to everyone at Tamagotchi School which meant that she would no longer have to hide her identity anymore.
In the third season, Lovelitchi meets and quickly befriends Melodytchi, a famous violin player who visits Tamagotchi Town. The two become close and decide to collaborate with each other for musical performances, eventually creating the song "Happy Happy Harmony" in the episode "Dream Collab! Happy Happy Harmony".

As revealed through a flashback in the following episode, his selflessness in saving Kuchipatchi before the end of the race was one of the reasons that Lovelitchi decide to move to Tamagotchi Town. While attending Tamagotchi School, Lovelitchi became close friends with Mametchi and he taught her about the concept of Tama-Friends.

When Melodytchi arrived at TAMAX-TV, Lovelitchi recognized her immediately and was quick to introduce herself. While Lovelitchi was interviewing Melodytchi for a TAMAX-TV show, Lovelitchi felt a mysterious connection to her and was deeply moved by how much she cares about her violin. When Lovelitchi was performing a live concert and the power went out, Melodytchi played her violin to save the concert and the two girls became the best of friends.

Lovelitchi, Melodytchi, and Moriritchi became a trio often seen together in the anime and merchandise.
Kuromametchi[]
Despite his aloof nature, Kuromametchi seems to be the Tamagotchi who understands and cares for Lovelitchi the most. He knew of her secret identity from the very beginning but never revealed it, and would always strive to help her and protect her identity; even if it meant dressing up in a Heroine Lovelin costume to lead others astray. He has Lovelin posters all over the walls of his room, leads her fan club, and is one of the only male Tamagotchi whose infatuation with her has remained throughout the series. For example, during a photo contest in episode 83, he secretly takes an anonymous photo of Lovelin while uncharacteristically blushing with shimmering eyes. He also tried to get her to think twice when she was changing herself in order to impress Hitomitchi.
Memetchi[]
Memetchi was the first student to talk to Lovelitchi when she joined Tamagotchi School, and they bonded over a stylish charm Lovelitchi had on her purse. Lovelitchi cancelled everything on her schedule and hugged Memetchi while crying when she thought she was moving away. She also occasionally hangs out with her, Makiko, and Flowertchi on their adventures.
Manenetchi[]
Manenetchi is Lovelitchi's manager who deeply cares about her and always strives to make sure she remains on schedule, but doesn't want Lovelitchi to overwork herself. She also acts as Lovelitchi's confidant, listening to her problems and offering advice. When Manenetchi was too busy to spend time with Lovelitchi in "Lovelin Shock! Manenetchi's Change of Heart?", Lovelitchi felt upset and some of her confidence faded.

TamaPtchi[]
TamaPtchi is a director at TAMAX-TV who directs many of the shows Lovelin stars in. While he can be strict with other Tamagotchis, he is gentle to Lovelitchi and often calls her affectionate nicknames in the English dub. In the Japanese version, he always ends her name with "-chan".
Madonnatchi[]
Madonnatchi is an actress at TAMAX-TV who hates and is jealous of Lovelin. She wants to get rid of Lovelitchi so she can become the most popular idol instead, but her traps often backfire and Lovelitchi is oblivious to this.
Kizunatchi[]
She is Lovelitchi's companion who guided her in collecting Tama Hearts on her Tama Profy during the original series. When Kizunatchi ran out of energy and was falling in the finale of the original series, Lovelitchi cried out that if it would save Kizunatchi, she would let herself get infected by Eggification, even if it meant she could never sing again.
Uwasatchi[]
Uwasatchi was suspicious of Lovelitchi ever since she joined Tamagotchi School and put her secret identity in jeopardy a few times. However, when it was finally revealed that Lovelitchi and Lovelin were one and the same, Uwasatchi refused to believe it and needed as much proof as possible. She even asked Lovelitchi some very specific questions about Lovelin, but Lovelitchi got one of them wrong because she herself couldn't remember the answer.

Trivia[]
- Since Lovelitchi's debut in Tamagotchi!, Lovelitchi became the main female mascot for the Tamagotchi brand in Japan, gradually replacing Memetchi in that position, and being featured alongside Mametchi in numerous products and adverts. Since the Tamagotchi On, this has also applied overseas.
- During the 15th Anniversary Poll, Lovelitchi was voted the third most popular female character behind Melodytchi and Moriritchi. However, in a Club Tamagotchi poll asking which character fans were excited to see in GO-GO Tamagotchi!, Lovelitchi ranked first place with 25% of votes.
- In episode 52 of the Tamagotchi! anime, there was a brief scene in which Lovelitchi wore a flashy strawberry-inspired dress. This dress is actually fanmade, as it was the winner of an official Lovelitchi outfit design contest.
- When Lovelitchi was an egg, it was blue with pink hearts. When she was a baby, she was a Choribotchi with a blue ribbon instead of a red one.
- Strangely enough, she had another baby stage in one episode, where she looked very much like her past appearance, except her ears are smaller, has a pacifier in her mouth, and wears a pink onesie with a bib. This is technically after her life as a Choribotchi. She later had a child-stage version of her, where she has yellow bows on her ears, a purple shirt, and a diaper.
- Counting all forms of Lovelitchi (including all forms of Lovelin and the alternate reality Lovelitchi that resides in Tamagotchi Village), she has the second highest number of forms, following after Mametchi.
- In episode 132 of Tamagotchi!, the scene where Lovelitchi is meeting her other self might be taken from the concept of the first half of episode 37, albeit in her idol form. However, while the latter is only a TAMAX-TV show, the former event really does involve an alternate-universe form of Lovelitchi.
- Lovelitchi's pajamas is identical to those of Chamametchi's, albeit with a different colour (and size).
- In My Tamagotchi Forever, Lovelitchi uses her Nano sprite in the Album.
- Lovelitchi was born in September 10, and when written as "910", it can be read in Japanese as goroawase for キュート kyūto, meaning "cute".
- Interestingly, her voice actress, Kei Shindou, was also born in September 10.
- Lovelitchi's voice actress, Kei Shindou, also voices Madoka Amano from Metal Fight Beyblade, which premiered around the same time, if not concurrently with the Tamagotchi! anime.
