Origin
Mime Jr. is based on a mime and a clown. Its secondary Fairy typing and pointed hat indicate that it may also be based on fairy tale gnomes. Its upper body and simple design also suggest that it is a tsukomogami based on a cloth hand puppet, to complement the dummy-like appearance of Mr. Mime.
Name origin
Mime Jr. is derived from the name of its evolution, Mr. Mime.
Manene may be a combination of 真似 mane (mimicry) and nene (Spanish for baby).
