Jelina



"Don't go, Melina. You can stay..."

"Don't worry; it's best for everyone that I go now."

- Melina's farewell to Janice.

Jelina (Jell - ee - na) is the pairing of Janice Quatlane and Melina Whistler (J/anice, M/elina). This pairing is un-canon pairing from the prequel triology. Jelina isn't very popular, as it involves a character - Melina - who isn't very 'used' in fanbased items. However, they are one of the most common Yuri pairings. Melina is seen with Janice in most group fanart. They're the best pair of friends next to Layke with good reason. Their real-life pairing is Namiko.

Relationship Dynamic
A year prior Eternal Diva, Melina caught an illness. She knew she was on the verge of dying, so she passed down her pendant to Janice (the one she wears in the present). Melina died, but her memories were stored by her father, Oswald Whistler, in the Detragan. He tried to get her memories into multiple brains, one of them being Janice. This only partially worked. While Oswald Whistler began thinking of another plan, Janice buried her personality so Melina could live on in Janice's body. This shows how strong their friendship was.

Janice allowed Melina to stay and live her life for her. However, she soon caught on to what her father was doing, and sent the letter to Layton. Janice's cooperation with keeping Melina's secret throughout the film displays their great friendship.

Melina decides to leave Janice's body for good at the end of Eternal Diva, even though Janice didn't want her to. From this and so on, Janice is her old self without Melina's company.

In the credits, it is shown that Janice and Melina used to sing together.
