Puppe-Schöpfer des Rosengartens
This is the main maiden in the anime series, Shinku!! Ano ne, Shinku is the 5th Rozen Maiden that was created by "Father" and is the first doll to appear in the series. Although extremely cute, Shinku is actually somewhat like a spoilt ariscratic brat! If you watch the series, you would find that Shinku seems extremely demanding and at most times does not care about others. However, that is not the case (also shows in the last few episodes of Traumend).
Shinku is, undeniably, the leader of all the Rozen Maidens. Her favourite lines include "Servant", "tea" and "What?". As you may already tell from how she looks like, Shinku loves to lecture others, read and abusing Jun at any chance she gets. Besides the series Rozen Maiden Traumend, Shinku (in other series) seldom lets others know of her emotions and thoughts.
And another thing, Shinku doesnt use words like "-chan", "-san" or "-kun" except when refering to "Father". This is extremely un-noticable to most anime watchers, as they dont really pay attention to this minor detail (most probably coz we are used to hearing characters say -chan or -kun).
Having said that, Shinku does have her cute side, which is shown when she watches her favourite tc show "KunKun". Basically, Shinku would scream, jump, grab a pillow, bite her nails and all sorts of adorable stunts when watching the show. Oh god, makes me want to pick her up and squeeze all the cuteness out of her!!! So kawaii ~~~ XP ~~~
Now touching on Shinku's combat abilities, she can be treated as one of the strongest Rozen Maidens, if not THE SUPERIOR of all Maidens. Shinku uses mystical rose petals and a cane as weapons. The rose petals are extremely versatile, because she can either use them as a shield or use them as missiles where they fly around a large area, causing maximum damage. The cane she will use as a sword-like weapon for slashing and blocking. Shinku's other powers include the ability to fix broken objects, which argueably is some sort of "time-change" power.
Every Rozen Maiden has a tiny spirit that follows them around, and in Shinku's case her spirit is called ホーリエ (Hōrie)... XP
.....and that was it for Shinku! now...lets see the next Maiden....
Doll #4, Souseiseki 蒼星石 (Lapizlazuri Stern) :
Souseiseki, one of the bravest of all Rozen Maidens. As one can probably tell from her outer looks, Souseiseki is actually a tomboy! According to the original series, Souseiki is a "dream gardener", where she can enter people's minds and tend to their dreams with her giant "sheers".
Combat wise, Souseiseki uses the giant sheers / scissors as a sword-like weapon for slashing, stabbing and shielding. Her other weapons include her spirit Lemprika and her hat, which both act as boomerang class weapons that can be thrown to disarm opponents.
Souseiseki, as you may see, has two different eye colours (left green and right red). Although tomboy-ish in nature, souseiseki is actually rational, calm, quiet and devoted to the elderly couple who are her masters. Some may even argue that Souseiseki's method of speech are more or less similiar to Shinku, sharp and to the point. Her personality is also that of sharpness and "to the point" in battle, where she will not tolerate any mistakes.
Sadly, Souseiseki is also drawn into the deadly Alice Game despite objections from the other Maidens. And even more unfortunately, Souseiseki is the first Maiden to die in battle. Her Rozen Mysticae was taken by Suigintou, and apparently it happens twice (original series and Traumend).
There is an certain amount of mystery to the fate of Souseiseki in the anime. Why? well, in the anime, Souseiseki and Hanaichigo are shown to be "dead" in the end. However, recent manga versions show that Souseiseki is missing from her Rozen Box. Mystery? Coincidence? We still have no idea..Is she still dead? Did she come back to life? Did she get her Rozen Mysticae back?...we have no idea...
...ano sa...next~~~
Doll #3, Suiseiseki 翠星石 (Jade Stern)
Suiseiseki, the twin sister of Souseiseki. Both Suiseiseki and Souseiseki have double-coloured eyes, and are exactly opposite in characteristics and personalities. Just like Souseiseki, Suiseiseki also has the nickname of "soul gardener", as she also posseses the power to enter human minds and tend to their dreams.
Suiseiseki can be a humuorous character at most times, impressing everyone with her loud mouth and childishly amusing ideas. Unlike Shinku, Suiseiseki uses sentence-enders like "-desu" to an extreme level, further enhancing her childish yet attractive personality. Also noted to be a crybaby at times ^^ Although Suiseiseki is extremely shy when it comes to first encounters, she often shows her true LOUD and EXPLOSIVE personality to people she is comfortable with.
More of a "superstar-wannabe" type of character, Suiseiseki enjoys being noticed (basking in the limelight XP). Her more noticable traits and favourite things to do are actually very amusing, including her tenacity to smash Jun's bedroom window and disurb Hanaichigo at any chance she gets. Suiseiseki devises ingeniuosly amusing names for Hanaichigo, including "Chibi-Chibi" or "Chibi-Ichigo", which i personally find a highly amusing fact XD
Although Suiseiseki does not show it directly, she does care a lot for Jun. Amusingly, she always finds a way to hide this fact and ends up doing something that gets Jun in trouble, which also ends up in both of them argueing the day away.
Suiseiseki is also a pacifist in the series, and strongly disagrees with the Alice Game. Her attempts to save the other Maidens from the Alice Game results in herself being killed (very very VERY sad fact), with her Rozen Mysticae going to Barasuisho.
As with any other Maiden, Suiseiseki also has a Rozen Spirit, named スィドリーム (Sui Dorīmu), meaning "sweet dream".
....almost there^^...next Maiden please~~~~
Doll #6, Hanaichigo 雛苺 (Klein Beere) :
its Chibi-Ichigo!!!! the 6th doll that Rozen created and is an absolute kawaii fiesta~
Hanaichigo is, and always will be, the embodiment of childishness at an extreme level! Although she is naive and selfish, she does care alot about the people around her, particularly Jun and Tomoe. And one very cute fact about Hanaichigo is that her movements and silly things she does in the anime really just make you smile in amazement ^^ Hanaichigo also apparently ends all her lines with the phrase "-na no"...another kawaii plus!!!!
Combat wise, Hanaichigo can be said to be the weakest of all Maidens, as she uses strawberry vines to attack (although she mostly uses them to defend). From the original series, Hanaichigo is beaten by Shinku (Hanaichigo is the first doll to be defeated and lose chance to become Alice). Although this happened, Shinku refused to take Hanaichigo's Rozen Mysticae. Instead, Shinku allows the Rozen Mysticae to be absorbed by Jun,thus letting Hanaichigo survive on Jun's energy. However, in Traumend, Hanaichigo dies once the Alice Game starts because "Father" cuts off the link between her and Jun. Losing her Rozen Mysticae to Shinku, Hanaichigo is the second Maiden to die. (i cried when that happened. dont laugh, i bet you would cry as well!)
Befitting her extreme kawaii-ness, Hanaichigo has a wide range of favourite foods. One of her favourites is Strawberry Daifuku, which she calls "unyuu" (dammit how cute is that!!!??? XD )~~~ one other of her favourite food is Nori's "Hanamaru Hamburger", which is a hamburger patty topped with a flower-shaped fried tamago (egg). Similiar to Shinku, Hanaichigo loves Detective KunKun as well,although it is safe to say that she is not as "rabid" as Shinku. Hanaichigo also loves to doodle, as throughout the anime u will catch Hanaichigo drawing with her favourite crayons on paper...kawai!!!!!!! XD
Last kawaii fact about Hanaichigo...her spirit also has a cute name : ベリーベル Berīberu !!!!! XD
...Next Maiden ~ Sanjyo-desu~
Doll #1, Suigintou 水銀燈 (Mercury Lampe) :
oh my god!!! its the bad guy!!! Suigintou, throughout the Rozen Maiden storyline, is one of the most prominent villains. She appears almost everywhere trouble is abrew. As you may be able to predict from her looks, Suigintou is extremely sadistic and will do anything in her power to win the Alice Game, even if she must cheat or use brute force. One interesting trait you can seemingly identify in Suigintou if you watch the anime is that she hates Shinku to the point where she calculates and keeps track of how many hours and minutes since their last meet.
Having said that Suigintou is ruthless, in Traumend things change a little. After Suigintou meets her medium, Megu (a very sick and bed-riden girl), she starts to show a more caring and softer side, and Suigintou wishes to save Megu by using Rozen Mysticae.
Using her artificial spirit, MeiMei メイメイ, Suigintou is able to conjure up gigantic wings. The purpose of the wings that she conjures up varies, mostly she uses them to fly but in combat situations, they can be said to be one of the most deadly weapons the Maidens may have to face. The feathers act like little Kunai or Shuriken that cut up anything they hit, while she also has the ability to change the feathers into a black magical dragon. Blue flames are Suigintou's secret weapons, and she only uses them at very dangerous situations. The variety in Suigintou's abilities, particularly when combined with her savagely cunning nature, make her a strong player in the Alice Game.
It is of course, revealed in Traumend, that Suigintou is also like the other Maidens. She has a weak and soft spot for others although she hides it with her mean looks. Being called a "Junk" or useless doll creation failure, Suigintou is extremely hurt by this and wishes to meet "Father" so that she can redeem herself and become the perfect doll "Alice".
Although Suigintou did face off with Shinku in the original series, that battle was stopped by Lapulas (magical bunny thingy) as acocording to Lapulas, the "Alice Game" of that time had already ended.
In the end of the series Traumend, Suigintou is brought back to life and she watches over her medium Megu...and interestingly, she smiles in the end!!!
....Last Maiden im going to talk on is below~
Doll #2, Kanaria 金糸雀 (Kanarienvogel) :
another kawaii copy of Hanaichigo, Kanaria is also adorable as hell although she does tend to be eccentric XD ... One very cute fact about Kanaria is that she always refer to herself in the third person method of speech, and she always talks about how she will gain her other sister's Rozen Mysticae but amusingly always fail in a funny way whenever she tries ^^
Kanaria is extremely cute as well because she always facies herself as a "stealthy prowler" and makes a weird hobby of watching her sisters from far away with binoculars. Although arrogant, Kanaria's bright comical attitude and personality make her the centre of attraction in many epidsodes~Despite this, she is a competent opponent and attacks with a deceptively adorable violin that destroys through its sound. Her personality mostly complements that of Hinaichigo, who eventually becomes her good friend and rival.
As with the other Maidens, Kanaria also has a very special method of speech. You can also notice if you watch the anime, that Kanaria always ends her sentences with "-kashira", which is like Hinaichigo's penchant for ending sentences with "na no".
Kanaria's favorite food is Tamagoyaki, or Japanese thick omelet, which, more often than not, is snatched away from her by hungry birds before she can enjoy it. She is introduced in the second season and makes a brief appearance in Ouverture, making yet another humorously over-the-top attempt to infiltrate Jun's home to steal her sisters' Rozen Mysticae.
Her artificial spirit is named after the technique ピチカート Pichikāto, of playing orchestral instruments by plucking the strings, which she uses as a counterattack.
....and i suppose that is all im going to blog on Rozen Maiden for today... XD enjoy~~~
