Mezzopiano Morendo
Mezzopiano Morendo, or Mezzo for short, is a self-styled "Dark-type Fangirl" who met the group when she arrived in Fiore. She originally hails from Castelia City in Unova. Her goal is to one day become the world's first Dark type Gym Leader.

Appearance
Mezzo always wears black. She tends to like loose, baggy clothing and rarely wears dresses or skirts. This combined with her short hair has caused many, many people to mistake her for a boy, including several people from the team when she first met them. She wears a pair of glasses, except in the AU, where she wears contacts instead.

Personality
Mezzo is usually a nice person, but does have a mean and occasionally violent streak. She loves candy and other sweets. She also has a tendency to sleep a lot.
Has a Mindscape.
Relationships
Rex and Mezzo were friends before they joined the rest of the group. They first met in Jubilife City, where the clingy girl became rather attached to the younger, blue-haired gem and all but kidnapped her for a small adventure around the city.
Mezzo and Ever are dating, as of the AU arc. Previously, she had a crush on Grimsley of the Unova Elite Four.
Mezzo also had a brief crush on Pentigan when he was affected by the gender-swapping amulet.
Mezzo has two brothers and one sister. They are known as Forte, Pianis, and Fortis respectively.
Mezzo once asked Lily out on a date long ago, but it ended in violence. In the Another Universe, the two are still dating.

In the AU
After Castelia City was taken over by Anom's Scolipede and Artemis, Mezzo surrendered to them and joined their army. She rose through the ranks until she became the governor of Black City, leading an army of Dark types known as the Black Guard. After a failed invasion of Undella Town to stop Napoleon's uprising, she became a double agent for the Resistance. She was utterly horrified by the actions she had committed when she regained her OT memories, and now her OT and AU selves violently hate each other.
Mezzo is the only surviving member of the Morendo family in the AU; all others were killed by either the Scolemis uprising or the Distortion.
