Personality:
It is important to note that part of her personality is influenced by the fact that she is, officially, dead. Throughout the whole series, except for the flashbacks, she's shown as a ghost that only the protagonist, "Jintan", can see until the end. Despite her terrible death, Menma still keeps an upbeat and cheerful attitude most of the time, just like how she behaved when she was alive. Even though she appears as a teenager - around 16 years old just as the other protagonists - Menma still has the childish and immature traits of her younger years. In fact, having died at the age of 11, she retained the mentality of that time instead of mentally growing up like her "body" mysteriously did. Even so, she does show many hints of maturity, especially when we learn that she indeed is aware of her own death, but faces this tragic fact with a smile on her face, even as she cries.
Menma is, without a doubt, a kind and selfless girl. She always puts her friends and others before herself, valuing their happiness above her own. If you see tears in her eyes, chances are that she's crying over the suffering of her friends and loved ones instead of doing it over an offense she received. In one of the flashbacks, when Jintan was asked if he liked Menma, he snapped and called her "ugly". Unexpectedly, she didn't react badly, but instead she smiled in return, after an initial shock. Because she loves her friends that much, she wouldn't be as hurt by their mean words as she could have been. However, if she sees one of her friends hurt and in pain, she won't hesitate suffering with them, and stick with them however long it takes.
She hardly holds any grudges towards the people who wrong her. Although Jinta is partly responsible for her death - she fell and drowned in the river because she was chasing after him - she doesn't feel any ill towards him. Rather than that, she's got nothing but feelings of affection and pure love towards him, in a way that overtakes even the fondness she feels towards the rest of the Super Beast Busters. Thanks to Menma's absolute determination to bring her group of friends together once again, added to her radiant personality, Jinta will slowly overcome his guilt and reconnect with his childhood friends after fighting his way out of their internal conflicts, starting a new life once they manage to send Menma up to heaven, as she smiles one last time through her tears.
Strengths/Weaknesses:
Her non-confrontational and solar inclination allows her to befriend people easily.
She's often selfless and caring, especially towards the people she's friends with.
Though she's still childish because of her mental age, she rarely ever gets angry. At worst, you could see her get mildly irritated at things.
She has some grade of knowledge about how the world of Pokemon works, because of a similar in-world game she used to play a lot when she was still alive. However, the title (Nokemon), setting, and the creatures themselves are different than the original.
She doesn't have an ounce of malice in her, given that she's still got the innocence of a child. She will never betray your trust intentionally.
- Because of her overwhelming presence, she may come across as annoying.
- Though she's cheerful, on the other hand, she's also a crybaby who is very prone to crying as soon as she sees her friends in pain.
- Her innocence also leads to naivety, which makes her easy to fool and manipulate.
- She's immature and dense at times, and very much of an air-head, but that can be justified by her mental age.
