Pashalin (パシャリン Pasharin) is Moriritchi's young childhood camera that appeared in Tamagotchi!. Her creator is Firumutchi.
Name Origin[]
Pashalin's name comes from the Japanese onomatopoeia Pasha, meaning the clicking or flashing sound a camera makes when taking a photo. The lin, most likely from Lovelin or connecting her to Telelin; with Telelin's lin coming from Lovelin.
Appearance[]
Pashalin resembles a pink camera with a face, yellow arms, and short blue legs. Her face is a pale cream color, and she has round eyes with blue irises and star-shaped reflections. She has three small pink buttons below her face, two of which are shaped like hearts and one of which is circular. She has a yellow bow above her face. At the top of her body, is her heart ball, which is similar to a trackball found in a computer mouse. Moriritchi rolls her heart ball when she needs to charge Pashalin.
Personality[]
Like her owner Moriritchi, she's very positive, bright, active, and outgoing, saying similar catchphrases as her. When taking photos, she winks at an object or person and often says "OK, cheese!" (はいチーズ hai chīzu). Pashalin loves to take photos of exciting, memorable moments. Her photos only come out in black and white, with a slight magenta color. Her vision is also limited to being black and white like her photos.
Pashalin often sits on the front bottom heart accessory on Moriritchi's head, similar to Telelin when she sits in Lovelitchi's heart bag. The heart she sits on is also the same heart that ending up giving Pashalin life.
Anemoriritchi doesn't like Pashalin, because she has old "embarrassing" photos of her saved dating back 8 - 10 years ago. Anemoriritchi has tried many times to kidnap Pashalin to erase the photos, but fails every time doing so. Moriritchi is oblivious to this.
Pashalin looks up to Telelin as she is a device come to life like her. The two are often seeing hanging out together and going on their own adventures. Like Telelin, Pashalin is scared of water as she can get shocked if it touches her.

Pashalin debuted in "Now for the Camera! Pashalin's Birth / Pashalin! Sparkling Debut Tamamori" when Moriritchi finds her in a box of old toys in her house's basement. Pashalin back then was an ordinary camera that Moriritchi loved taking pictures with. After discovering that she doesn't work anymore, Moriritchi takes her to Mametchi to get fixed. When Mametchi puts Pashalin in a machine to charge her, a series of events occur that cause Moriritchi's heart accessory to get put in the machine as well. After the machine runs its course, Pashalin comes out alive, shocking everyone and delighting Moriritchi. Later on, Moriritchi discovers that Pashalin is charged by rubbing the heart trackball next to her screen.
Telelin becomes Pashalin's senpai in "Telelin-senpai! Do Your Best". However, Pashalin's popularity with everyone in Tamagotchi School and Tama Street causes Telelin to get jealous and abandon Pashalin right as it starts raining. After realizing that Pashalin is in danger from the rain, she saves her and apologizes for leaving her. Pashalin forgives her and says that she still looks up to her. Telelin then continues to give Pashalin guidance and support throughout the series.
In "Pashalin! Pictures of Memories", Moriritchi finds a photo of a mysterious landscape stored in Pashalin's memory. Pashalin notes that she feels the photo's location is very important to her and that she needs to go there so Moriritchi and friends try to figure out the location. Once they learn how to get there from Lovepapalitchi, the group go on a journey in "Hurry to Find Memories! Lovelin Car" which is filled with danger. They finally make it in "Pashalin! Deep Emotion! Homecoming" and it's revealed that the location leads to Antique Town where Pashalin's creator, Firumutchi lives. Pashalin is happy to reunite with her "papa" and Firumutchi explains that he created Pashalin as a cute camera to bring joy to a young Tamagotchi.
Pashalin goes on an adventure with Telelin, Doremitchi, and Sopratchi in "A Mysterious Photo of Patchi Forest?" to figure out how to escape a ghost's curse after one appears in one of Pashalin's photos. However, it turns out the ghost was actually just Papapatchi's wig which was blown off by the wind in Patchi Forest.
When Moriritchi runs away from home after getting into a big fight with Anemoriritchi in "Big Fight!? Moriritchi vs Anemoriritchi", Pashalin becomes distressed from the situation and wants to help them make up. Lovelitchi has Pashalin print out photos of Moriritchi and Anemoriritchi spending time together to help her remember that her older sister cares for her. When Moriritchi looks at the photos she is able to clearly remember Anemoriritchi looking out for her when she was sick, but is still unable to reunite with her sister. After Moriritchi sees Anemoriritchi struggling to run the shop by herself and steps in to help her, the two finally reunite and Pashalin cries in happiness.
