Melody
Shouldn't her name be Melody? 83.250.2.60 13:31, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Well, that's the stream's translation. Once I get the raw, I'll try to confirm her name based on Japanese. Chaos Knight  15:02, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

So her name in japanese is "メルディ", which the romaji would be "Merudi". For her name to be "Melody", the katakana should be "メロディ". While "Meldy" may be an acceptable translation, I believe her name is closer to "Meredy" than "Meldy", which is a variation of the name "Meredith". What do you guys think? Chaos Knight  16:46, November 12, 2010 (UTC)

It sounds better and it has a sense... I like it. You will change it? Ishthak  says  16:48, November 12, 2010 (UTC)

I will. I just can't find any name origin for Meldy, and it keeps redirecting to Melody. Besides, name origin for Meredith means 'Great Lord', which she may just be in the near future. Chaos Knight  17:00, November 12, 2010 (UTC)

About the Wings
It strikes me more like a Valkyrie than Ar Tonelico, and much more closely resembles them.

Adoptive Father?
Um, when does it state in the manga, that Hades was the adoptive father of Meredy, as it shows that in the infobox placed for her.User:Ash9876

I didn't put that down, but I'm assuming its a logical conclusion from Chapter 217, where Hades said he personally trained/raised them. Horologium4 02:58, January 23, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, I guess that is right.User:Ash9876

Meredy Outcome...
uhmmm can anyone guess what meredy's power is? i mean being faced with erza (which is supposedly the strongest female mage in fairy tail and juvia (who was a nominee for s-class mage) would mean meredy's power is enough to put them to limits? i mean her power could be from Air Based (the wings..) to Cyborg based (the suit) to Spirit based (i dont know) or maybe transformation based (moood swings)...oh and also she wasnt even afraid of makarov...nor was she even intimidated by erza

ps; i talk a lot dont i...hey theres no rules against it...Lunarbash08 09:56, February 13, 2011 (UTC)

Next week appears to be Caprico-dedicated. And the week after might either continue Caprico's fight or move on to Meredy. So in about 2-3 weeks we will probably find out. Horologium4 19:45, February 13, 2011 (UTC)

you know, even if the next chapter is Caprico dedicated, I think at the end of the chapter or near the end, they might show Erza and Juvia losing against Meredy, I mean, we finally get to see Erza LOSE, since she almost never loses, (against female mages)Ash9876 (Talk to Me) 20:59, February 25, 2011 (UTC)

To Lunarbash08, her power could be something with space. Each of the seven kin of purgatory have some form of "god-like" powers, and with blank "space" at her introduction, she could have something to do with that... EeLgIrL (^.^) 21:09, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

to ASH987 i forgot to put this when it camed out...but erza still didnt lose cause she ran away whaahah!Lunarbash08 08:33, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

Meredy Magic Is a Type of Sword Magic??
in the chapitles is show her magic like a floating sword it must be insert in the page sword magic like the magic of erza or it must be a different form of magic and i must create a new page in lost magic?? Nitram86 22:39, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

I would be against creating a page for her magic until it is named, and we get a better description of it's abilities. Iam... JakuhoRaikoben 22:45, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Agreed. It will probably be fully showcased next week, kinda like Rustyrose's magic that was fully named only in the second chapter of his battle. Horologium4 23:10, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

ok we wait the next week Nitram86 23:17, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

i think her power has something to do with her name which means "Great Lord" i mean sword like powers are lord like maybe thats why she was faced with erza being sword on sword maybe sher has a shield?or cannons? and maybe just maybe a medievial flailLunarbash08 06:17, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

Article: Meredy's Magic
Would it be better if descriptions of her magic were just organized under the title "Maguilty Magic" as opposed to maguilty Sodom and Maguilty sense individually?Jvendors 23:18, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

We were only told that Maguilty Sense was a form of Lost Magic and until we are told that Maguilty Sense and Sodom are a result of the Magic Maguilty we must leave them seperate. -- 23:24, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

hmm. good point, thanks.Jvendors 23:29, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

No problem, Glad I could help. -- 23:42, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

It is not really "told" so far, but the latest anime episode (108) says that Maguilty Sodom attacks the sense of pain directly (which im positive the manga did not mention). That coupled with the other Maguilty spells, make the Maguilty magic one that has to do with senses, either attacking them, linking them, etc. Given this, it can be something to consider, so as to put the whole Maguilty Magic as its own category. --BGMaxie 14:35, December 3, 2011 (UTC)

Only problem with that being is that we're not going to reorganize her Magic forms on an anime only statement alone.

Enhanced Drability
I think she has enhanced durability, because she was able to withstand a lot of powerful water attack of Juvia. So in my opinion we should mention it on her Magic and Abilities topic. What do you think? User:Domynyk 12:46, Dec 20, 2011, (UTC)

Agreed, but if you add it, be sure to reference it.

Ok, I'll do it. User:Domynyk 14:25, Dec 21, 2011, (UTC)

Done, please check and fix it is it's necessary. User:Domynyk 14:33, Dec 21, 2011, (UTC)

Unfortunately that's not what we're looking for. We never start off a sentence with "it has been revealed" nor do we use an anime reference for something that happened in the manga as well. See pages like Mirajane for an example of how it should look.

Got it. I'll do it soon. User:Domynyk 12:37, Dec 22, 2011, (UTC)

Done, please check and fix if necessary. User:Domynyk 17:33, Dec 22, 2011, (UTC)

Look at what I found (possible official name spelling?)
Now, this is actually several months old (nine, to be exact), so someone may or may not have already brought it up (in fact, I may have brought it up, but if I did, I forgot), but this Japanese blog that follows all sorts of Fairy Tail material has included images of a set of fanservice-y postcards allegedly made by Hiro Mashima himself (his name is included on the box cover of the set).

Meredy is included in this set on a card together with Ultear, and it spells her name as "Meldy" in the upper left-hand corner. It can be seen here and here.

If we take this at face value, could it mean that "Meldy" is Hiro Mashima's official translation of her name after all? I mean, he did say he didn't know there was a メルディ in another RPG where the name of that character is translated as "Meredy", so this could be his way of differentiating the two.

Also, I don't doubt the integrity of this blog. The blogger did attend a private convention and posted what she learned there, including the fact that there would be a filler arc and it would include (at least) Earthland Coco and Kinana, which was posted two months before the arc aired. The original post can be found here Immblueversion (talk) 17:34, November 8, 2012 (UTC)

Appearance
Can someone change Meredy's picture in the appearance section back to the manga version? I'm sorry, but the anime portrayal of her is just terrible. Nnoitrafan (talk) 00:56, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * She is indeed ugly in the anime, but her outfit is accurate so... 01:02,12/3/2012

Yeah but her sexy face from the manga isn't accurate at all! It's like the animators weren't even trying! I demand the manga picture to be used!! Nnoitrafan (talk) 01:09, December 3, 2012 (UTC)

The anime face does look retarded. \( ._.)/. 01:10, December 3, 2012 (UTC)

It's a good thing my demands are the only ones that count on this site. :) And it's not her face we're displaying, it's her clothes. 01:12,12/3/2012

But you are displaying her face! The ugly, anime version of it. Who cares about the clothes? Nnoitrafan (talk) 01:39, December 3, 2012 (UTC)

That's what the appearance section is about, lol. It should have a full body image that clearly shows the character's attire, which it does in this case, even if the face is .. a bit retarded ._. Profile image is the one which should focus on the character's face. 13:51, December 3, 2012 (UTC)

Age
This is just a thought I had but I actually tried to figure out her age. My theory is that she was 4 years old when her village was attacked by Ultear and Grimoire Heart(because in my opinion that's how old she looked in the flashback), 11 during the events of Tenrou Island, and 18 after the time skip. Now this theory is really only based on the fact that there was no definitive date when the attack on Meredy's village was. I could be wrong of course. Rmac107 (talk) 06:03, February 15, 2013 (UTC)

We can only add confirmed information on her profile. Stating she is 18 now would be speculation. 07:17, February 15, 2013 (UTC)

That's basically what this is, speculation. We'll probably never know her true age unless Hiro decides to reveal it. I was just sharing the theory(which is basically another word for speculation) I had. Rmac107 (talk) 00:53, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

Vol 25 Name Change
So Kodansha has released their volume and has named Meredy to Merudy. It seems the first point of Meredy's talk page also discussed what her name translates to. I guess it's come full circle now lol so... I guess this is a discussion if her name should remain as Meredy or change to Merudy... Keep in mind, Kodansha has been known to make many more faults with their translations and isn't as reliable in comparison to Del Rey. However, this is the name that will be used from now on in the eng. version and it won't be changing again. 13:39, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

I don't care if it's a better translation or not, I just love her name as Meredy * ^ * 14:01, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah.....no. 14:03, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

Such an awkward translation. 14:04, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

It just doesn't sound better.

No. >.>

No, it sounds awkward... 14:58, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

But since there are so many people voting for no, my answer will be... Hell NO!!!     15:12, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

Kill it with FIRE!!   16:39, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

That is terrible--

On one hand it would sound odd if pronounced in english, but on the other hand a 'u' is sometimes mute, while an 'e' is always spoken as far as I'm aware, so the ru with a muted u actually does make sense (along with the ru being the actual katakana sign).

Meredy would be said Meredy (or Meledy), while Merudy would be said as Merdy (or Meldy). If I had to translate the name, I'd leave the u out and make it Merdy or Meldy. NoNickNeeded (talk) 16:59, April 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * that's oonly for japanese, not english... 20:10, April 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * I know, I just wrote that to show why I would leave the u or e out completely, since that's the way it's supposed to be spoken in my opinion.NoNickNeeded (talk) 20:22, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

Ewww... Da fuck... J-Just No!!!   17:37, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

joining Chaos :P 20:10, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

No thank you :( 22:57, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

No..... Just no 00:03, May 1, 2013 (UTC)

No, No, No just No

I'll bet you wouldn't be quite so opposed if this volume had that note from Mashima-sensei. Immblueversion (talk) 16:34, May 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * We would oppose, it just wouldn't matter since it would be official. 19:39, May 1, 2013 (UTC)

Well, firstly. EWWWW!!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!! KILL IT BEFORE IT BREEDS!!! Now, with that being said, we don't go by Kodansha names anymore. They are no longer printed with that note that says the English names come from Mashima, and even if they were....their names are always hideous. >_> 22:14,5/1/2013
