Telelin (テルリン Terurin), also known as Terulin, is a female Tamagotchi who acts as Lovelitchi/Lovelin's cellphone. She first appeared at the end of episode 26 in the Tamagotchi! anime, while her virtual pet debut was on the Tamagotchi iD in Japan. Her international debut was in Tamagotchi Plaza.
Name Origin[]
Telelin's name comes from the word telephone. Tele (テル Teru) translated meaning short for telephone, and the lin (リン rin) most likely comes from Lovelin's name, as Telelin is Lovelin/Lovelitchi's telephone.
Appearance[]
Telelin has a peanut shaped, pink body with a heart shaped antenna on top of her head. Her face is on a pink screen and she has three buttons on her body. Her appendages are yellow and slightly pointed. She is the size of a cellphone and sometimes makes clacking noises when she walks.
Personality[]
Telelin is able to walk and talk like a normal Tamagotchi, but she also has some mechanical traits. She doesn't eat, drink, or have to use the bathroom, and she doesn't touch water because she runs on electricity. However, she does have emotions and can cry with tears. At the end of each day, she sits and falls asleep on her couch charger shaped like Lovelitchi's head.
Telelin explaining something as paranormal
Telelin has a strange personality. Whenever something goes wrong, she often makes an unexpected remark or comment which is followed by Lovelitchi scolding her by saying "Telelin....". Another one of Telelin's unusual behaviors is that she believes in the paranormal world. Whenever something unexplained happens, she normally says its paranormal activity, sometimes scaring everyone around her. Lovelitchi sometimes stuffs Telelin in her bag when this happens.
When Telelin talks, she always refers to herself in third person, saying Telelin instead of I, my, me, or mine. Telelin also likes to give other Tamagotchis nicknames ending in "-lin".
Telelin loves attention and gets jealous easily. For example, she gets very envious when Tamagotchis pay more attention to Pashalin or Himespetchi's Himespe Phone than to her. Despite this, she is very dedicated to her friends, such as when she used a leaf to protect Pashalin from the rain rather than herself. Telelin got damaged from the rain and had to have Mametchi fix her.
Telelin loves exploring and sometimes leaves without telling anyone. She enjoys singing and thinks she's good at it, even though she sings very off-key.

After getting sent back in time with Mametchi, Memetchi, and Kuchipatchi, Telelin comes to life and tells Lovelitchi not to be discouraged.
