Moriritchi (もりりっち Moriritchi) is an adult female Tamagotchi character. She debuted in episode 71 of Tamagotchi! and later became one of the main Tama-Friends. Her first virtual pet appearance was on the Tamagotchi iD L. Her older sister is named Anemoriritchi, and they both own and run the Tamamori Shop on Tama Street together.
Name Origin[]
Morimori (もりもり) is a Japanese onomatopoeia, used when someone is full of zest. The sound is also used to show someone rising powerfully, which explains why Moriritchi has such a tall hairstyle, as a Japanese pun.
On the other hand, mori can also mean Forest (森), which somehow references Moriritchi's hair style, that greatly resembles a forest tree.

Appearance[]
When her ears are down, Moriritchi's appearance most likely resembles a poodle or a lop-eared rabbit. She has pale yellow skin with round pink cheeks, and her eyes are dark blue with star-shaped highlights. Her apparel consists of blue stockings, a sleeveless yellow dress with pink dots along the hem, and a blue bolero.
She has puffy blue hair and long, floppy ears with puffs of hair on each tip. Uniquely, Moriritchi can tie up her ears into a cotton candy-like, cone-shaped topknot, which is her usual appearance. Her tied-up ears and hair are decorated with colored pearls and two hot pink hearts. Her companion, Pashalin, often rides in one of the hearts, copying her expressions and quotes.
In the anime, Moriritchi appears to be significantly shorter than most of her peers when excluding the height added by her tied up ears.
Personality[]
Moriritchi is a very positive, bright, active, and outgoing Tamagotchi who is passionate about Tamamori fashion and decorating in flashy, over-the-top ways. Being so full of energy, she tends to talk a lot and have humorous exaggerated reactions to situations.
One of her key character traits is her unique way of speaking. She frequently makes puns, uses outdated slang, or uses her quirky catchphrases, which other characters tend to find odd or confusing when hearing them for the first time. Even though she is a fashionable character, she is known to be a bit behind the times, which is shown through the slang she uses and her hairstyle.
According to the Tamamori Profile Refill sets, Moriritchi's favorite color is pink and her least favorite color is brown. It also states that her favorite food is tropical fruit and her least favorite food is bean soup.
If any of her friends are feeling down, she uses her Tamamori to cheer them up. She is good friends with Melodytchi and Lovelitchi. Moriritchi is the current Tamamori champion, beating out former Tamamori champion Giragiratchi.

Trivia[]
- The word Choberigu! (チョベリグ～!) comes from a late 90's Japanese buzzwords TV show. The name of the show is called Choberiba (チョベリバ), meaning very very bad ("cho-veri-ba"). Choberigu is the opposite, meaning very very good.
- The catchphrase she uses when asking someone to do something (～してちょんまげ Shite Chonmage) is a play on Japanese words. Chonmage is a humourous slang for saying "please", but it also literally means topknot, which is the hairstyle Moriritchi typically has.
- In the Tamagotchi 15th Anniversary poll, Moriritchi was voted the second most popular female Tamagotchi character, exceeding Lovelitchi and only being exceeded by Melodytchi. However, her popularity seems to have dwindled since then, as evident in the last Club Tamagotchi poll which asked which character fans were most excited to see in Go-Go Tamagotchi!. Moriritchi received 8% of votes out of the 9 options (including an "other" option) and was beaten by Lovelitchi, Melodytchi, Himespetchi, Kiraritchi and Oyajitchi.
- Moriritchi won 4th place on the Tamagotchi 25th Anniversary Poll, the 1st place winner of which would be on the roster for the Anniversary TamaSma Card. She still appeared on the card as a NPC with the other top ten winners.
- In one of the first Tamamori Collection albums released, some of the backgrounds and refill pages say "Morry's" and "Morry's Collection". This implies that "Moriri" was originally planned to be spelled like "Morry".
- In Giragiratchi's description in Tamagotchi no Puchi Puchi Omisetchi Ninki no Omise Atsumemashita, Moriritchi and Anemoriritchi are collectively referred to as Moriritchi Shimai(もりりっち姉妹), meaning "The Moriritchi sisters"
- While Moriritchi strongly resembles their father, her sister Anemoriritchi mostly takes after their mother, though they both have long ears like their father.
