Meinya (メイニャ, Meinya) is Prushka's pet given to her by her adoptive father, Bondrewd, as a tenth birthday present. Its name is a result of Prushka not being able to pronounce "Meinastilim" when it was given to her. Meinya joins Hello Abyss on their adventure to the bottom of The Abyss.

Appearance

Meinya is a rabbit-sized creature called a Meinastilim, also known as a "child of change". It has an oval-shaped body, stubby legs and feet, and wings that it uses to fly short distances. Its face somewhat resembles that of a toad's, as its pupils are slit horizontally across the entire diameter of the eye.

By sniffing Meinya's fur, Riko and Prushka are able to navigate Ido Front without succumbing to the The Curse of the Abyss.

Personality

Meinya cares deeply for Prushka, as shown when it cries in despair and begins to lap up what is spilling out of Prushka's cartridge after it has been used.

History

Spoiler warning: The following section contains spoilers. Read with caution.

Early Life

It is suggested by Srajo that Meinya is the result of an attempt by Bondrewd to create an artificial Juusou.

Some time after Bondrewd had adopted Prushka, he gifted Meinya to her. The previously frantic Prushka initially approached Meinya with curiosity, showing signs of affection towards it, and soon named it Meinya. Overjoyed with the first signs of recovery of his new daughter, Bondrewd declared that the day would be her birthday. Then onwards, Prushka's condition started to steadily improve.

Ido Front

During the main group's stay at Ido Front, Prushka and Riko become friends. Prushka introduces Riko to her pet, Meinya.

During Reg and Bondrewd's fight, Bondrewd ejects several of his Cartridges and begins to recite their names. Meinya interrupts him, running to sniff and lick at the contents of one, and begins wailing over it. Bondrewd confirms that this cartridge contained Prushka.

Iruburu Arc

Due to an accident, Meinya is injured by a very curious Narehate and the group witnesses the Iruburu Balancing. Nanachi confirms that Meinya is fine and it will just take a bit time until its swollen intestines return to normal.

When Reg returns to the village with Faputa's body parts, it was Meinya who signaled Riko of his return.

Meinya is seen with Maaa, when Riko regains consciousness, after having used her whistle during the battle with Faputa.

Shortly before Maaa's final moments, she hugs Meinya and Riko close, with a hint of satisfaction in her expression.

Curse Fleet Arc

During their travel, Faputa prompts Nanachi about the nature of The Curse of the Abyss to which Nanachi gives an explanation. They suggest that Meinya, in addition to Riko and themself, would be susceptible to the Curse. Meinya reacts to something nearby and searches for it. The group follows Meinya to the corpse of a Black Whistle Delver.

Reg initially panics, but Nanachi quickly informs him that the Delver is already dead. As the group wonders about his cause of death and his affiliation. Nanachi searches him for Artifacts and finds Gentle Knock and Mermaid Burp. A lock pick and an air supply artifact, respectively.

When the group arrives at Camp Number 5, Hail Hex's outpost in the 6^th Layer, Meinya eagerly approaches the White Whistle Srajo and perches on her shoulder.

Abilities

High Durability

Meinya has pliant, flexible bones that can undergo a lot of stress. When Meinya was injured, rather than being crushed, its eye was pushed out of its socket, and the intestines out of Meinya's anus, before being popped back in with relative ease.

Trivia

• According to the author, Akihito Tsukushi, Meinya has the same smell as his parents' parrot.
