Melon's Mother

Melon's mother (メロンの母) is a minor character in Beastars.

Appearance
She is an adult female leopard with a slender build who is often seen wearing frilly dresses.

Personality
Melon's mother never leaves her one-room apartment, often asking her son, Melon, to get necessities such as groceries. In this apartment, she created a sort of fantasy world where everything is okay and nothing bad happens.

She appears to be a loving mother, but it is debatable to whether she named her son Melon because she desired to eat him or the fact that he is a carnivore-herbivore hybrid.

Trivia

 * From the flashbacks it's shown that she may have indeed loved her gazelle partner very much.
 * She thinks of him fondly.
 * The reason she refuses to leave her home is likely to not face reality.
 * If she did not love him, her delusional state would not have happened.
