History Characters / RozenMaiden

[[folder:Suiseiseki and Souseiseki]]

!!Both
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: They're identical twins, but have enough different physical traits to set them apart. Suiseiseki wears a PimpedOutDress, Souseiseki dresses in masculine-style Victorian clothing. Suiseiseki has RapunzelHair, Souseiseki has BoyishShortHair. Suiseiseki has a right red eye and green left eye, Souseiseki has the same eye colors but reversed.
* PolarOppositeTwins: Suiseiseki is brash, emotional and girly, compared to Souseiseki who is soft-spoken, quiet and boyish.
* RedOniBlueOni: Suiseiseki is the loud and ''very'' emotional Red Oni to Souseiseki's quiet and not openly emotional Blue Oni.
* SharedUnusualTrait: The twin dolls have one red eye and one green eye.
* ThemeTwinNaming: Suiseiseki (Japanese for "Jade Star") and Souseiseki (Japanese for "Lapis Lazuli Star") are named after gems.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Suiseiseki is the Girly Girl because she wears a PimpedOutDress, has RapunzelHair, and is very open about her emotions, in contrast Souseiseki is the Tomboy because she dresses like a boy, has BoyishShortHair, and is emotionally reserved.
* TsurimeEyes: Their eyes slant upwards. Suiseiseki is a {{Tsundere}} and Suiseiseki is TheStoic, so both dolls have a strong personality that suits their eye shape.

!!Suiseiseki

* VerbalTic: Desu, of course. Though in Japanese it's a copula that's just a regular part of polite speech,[[note]]pronounced "des" in most dialects[[/note]] Suiseiseki is notable for using it ''constantly'', to the point that it became memetic.

* TheDutifulDaughter: Unlike her twin Suiseiseki who loves her sisters enough to not want to be Alice just to please Rozen, Souseiseki just wants to become Alice because she considers it her duty towards Rozen.

* FightingFromTheInside: [[spoiler:After Unwind!Jun makes a contract on her ring, she regains conscience and starts struggling for control over her body, but was needed the help of Suiseiseki to really free her.]]
* FourIsDeath: [[spoiler:Guess who the first Rozen Maiden to die was?]]

%%* LittleMissBadass
%%* [[spoiler: PunnyName: The "sousei" part of her name can be written with different characters as well to mean "dying young" or "early death."]]

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Kanaria's green hair makes her the only Rozen doll with an unusual hair color that [[MysticalWhiteHair isn't white]].

* SpotOfTea: There's a high chance that whenever she asks Jun to do something, it usually involves him bringing her tea which she considers SeriousBusiness as she demands it to be made to her specifications.

* LastNameBasis: We never got to hear her first name.

[[quoteright:248:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/barasuishou.jpg]]

* JerkassBall: After Suigintou is revived in ''Ouverture'' and shows her Rosa Mystica, Shinku is truly shocked and attempts to deny it because to her Suigintou is an incomplete doll so she isn't worthy of either having a Rosa Mystica or calling herself a Rozen Maiden. Naturally Suigintou is truly hurt by these words and comes to believe that Shinku never saw her as a true friend and only acted kind towards her out of pity and becomes Shinku's archenemy.

* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler:She dies when her Rosa Mystica is destroyed to bring her sisters back at the end of the manga.]]

* BeautyMark: She has a mole under her left eye.

* CondescendingCompassion: In ''Ouverture'', the reason why she acted nice to Suigintou when she found her as an incomplete doll was because she felt sorry for her. Once Suigintou realized this and Shinku called her junk, their mutual hatred was born.

* CreepyCoolCrosses: She has a lot of inverted cross imagery across her dress, [[spoiler:representing Rozen's rebellion against God in his desire to create life, and how Suigintou is meant to bear Rozen's sins.]]

* {{Reincarnation}}: [[spoiler:Is the true reincarnation of Rozen himself.]]

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: [[spoiler:In her captured state,]] she wished a prince to come to her rescue, comforting herself thinking it was all a dream. Cue [[spoiler:Rozen presenting himself as the lord of Kirakishou's castle]]; she associated him with a prince and then started to question herself if her love for dolls is because, maybe subcounciously, she's a paedophile since "her prince" is a young boy.

%%* TheAgeless
%%* TheAtoner

%%* TheFaceless

* NotSoDifferent: Just watch the way she acts after losing her arm and notice the amount of similarities between her and the way Suigintou acts while not on jerkass mode.

* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Megu was really excited for finally have a girl's talk after [[spoiler:finally able to go to school]] and at result, she gets very close and touchy feely with [[http://www.mangareader.net/rozen-maiden/93/38 Tomoe]].

* CinderellaCircumstances: [[spoiler:In her captured state,]] she felt herself like Cinderella and wished a prince to come to her rescue, comforting herself thinking it was all a dream.

* GoGoEnslavement: [[spoiler:Kirakishou abducted her too and Rozen is forcing her to make doll dreeses for when Alice is created while dressed as a maid.]]

%%* {{Meganekko}}
%%* OfficeLady

* BrattyTeenageDaughter: She hates her dad because she's convinced he considers her a burden and only visits her whenever he remembers he has a daughter. She still loves him, but because she loves him so much, she hates him for, in her eyes, not caring enough for her.

* HeartwarmingOrphan: Averted in the manga, as her father's still alive.

* IllGirl: [[spoiler:As of chapter 29 of ''Tales'', she appears to have recovered, although it seems her health's still not good]].
* MoralityPet: To none other than ''Suigintou'', who is initially cruel, but eventually softens up when she realizes that she and Megu share more things than she initially thought. In the end she even considers protecting her.

* NotBrainwashed: [[spoiler:She' not helping Kirakishou because of being controlled, she's there because she wants to let the world take some of her misery.]]

%%* NiceGirl

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: Probably the only reason why her wings can be dragon heads.
* IWillFindYou: In ''Tales'', Suigintou looked through thousands of doors in the N-Field looking for [[spoiler:Megu]], who was abducted by Kirakishou.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Done twice, in fact. Jun (young and older) thought this cute, little doll was adorable while she was inert in their hands. They changed their mind when she woke up and delivered an ArmorPiercingSlap to them.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She sacrifice herself at the end of the manga to bring her sisters back to life.]]

* FlowerInHerHair: She has small white roses decorating her GirlishPigtails.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Her creator left her incomplete and started working on the other dolls, though Suigintou was still hellbent on finding her father. She later meets Shinku, with whom she became good friends with. And then she finds out that her friend never saw her as true Rozen Maiden, having even kept her ignorant of several important facts, and most of her previous kindness was done out of pity. Obviously Suigintou doesn't take this well and vows unending hatred towards her previous friend.

-->Voiced by: Creator/RyotaOhsaka (JP), Creator/CoreyHartzog (EN)
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zuruckspulen_jun.jpg]]

Jun's adult counterpart in the parallel dimension where he responded "[[RedPillBluePill do not wind]]". This version of Jun is a college student and works in a bookstore. Through some manuals that keep being sent to his apartment, he makes a temporary body for Shinku and helps his AlternateSelf in his fight against Kirakishou.
----
* AccidentalKiss: [[spoiler:In the stage battle against Kirakishou, he falls over Souseiseki's ring, kisses it and forms an accidental contract with Souseiseki, freeing her body of Kirakishou.]]

* TheGlassesGottaGo: He dyed his hair and uses contact glasses.
* InsecureLoveInterest: He's convinced that a girl like Saitou is out of his league.
* JadeColoredGlasses: Since Shinku and the dolls never came to his life, he was a {{Hikkikomori}} until he gathered some will to finally get out his house, then started struggling with an empty life, without friends, no drive and believing that dreams and optimism are meaningless.
* LivingMacGuffin: [[spoiler:At the stage battle, all dolls but Kanaria start to argue about which one has the right to claim Jun as her master. Jun made Shinku, Jun just a few days agreed to give Suigintou his energy, Kirakishou's body was made by Jun as well and Suiseiseki just came out of nowhere and demanded he kiss the ring she has with her.]] Jun practically turns into an AppleOfDiscord between them.
* LoveEpiphany: When his boss started to mock him over how Saitou would never be interested in him, he realized he did ''have'' the hope she was interested in him. That's why the mocking [[DespairEventHorizon hurt him so badly]].
* MistressAndServantBoy: Shinku sees him as her temporary servant.
* OtherMeAnnoysMe: He considers Jun a brat.
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: He says this about Saitou when Shinku refers to her as his girlfriend, but he starts to wish she was.
* SupportingProtagonist: Oddly enough, to the original Jun, whom he helps out at the start-to-middle of the second manga, then is left to live his own life again.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Kaito Toriumi]]

A boy of the same class of Jun. He also has antiquarian parents and is interested in dolls, especially the Rozen Maiden series.

* ChekhovsGunman: He was first introduced in ''Tale 31'' as an unimportant classmate of Jun, seen every now and then in the classroom scenes...and then [[spoiler:it's revealed that he's helping Kirakishou.]]
* HumanResources: [[spoiler:While Kirakishou drains the life out the masters, it's implied that he's using the bodies to create an "organic" doll body, as he calls the masters "materials".]]
* MookMaker: [[spoiler:He's making new "sisters" for Kirakishou to help her to dispose of the remaining 5 Rozen Maidens.]]

* JerkassBall: After Suigintou is revived in ''Ouverture'' and shows her Roza Mystica, Shinku is truly shocked and attempts to deny it because to her Suigintou is an incomplete doll so she isn't worthy of either having a Roza Mystica or calling herself a Rozen Maiden. Naturally Suigintou is truly hurt by these words and comes to believe that Shinku never saw her as a true friend and only acted kind towards her out of pity and becomes Shinku's archenemy.

* SpotOfTea: There's a high chance that whenever she asks Jun to do something, it usually involves him bringing her tea which she consideres SeriousBusiness as she demands it to be made to her specifications.

* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler:Subverted she dies at the end of the anime only to be brought back to life by Rozen.]]

* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: In the first half of ''Tales'' [[spoiler:as he can only comunicate from the N-Field to the outside worlds via emails.]]

The first doll of the Rozen Maidens, she served as the antagonist in the first season. Of all the dolls, she's the one who wants to become Alice the most to please Rozen and prove she does deserve being the perfect girl. Despise not having a medium until the end of the s1 anime and manga, she's very powerful. Her artificial spirit is Mei-Mei.

* AdaptationalBadass: In the 2004 anime, Suigintou nearly managed to beat her sisters by herself at the end of the first season, without needing a Medium. For that matter, Megu was Anime!Suigintou's first medium, while Manga!Suigintou had several across the centuries, and she still managed to match Shinku in all their fights.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Zigzagged In the 2004 anime Suigintou comes off as more villainous than her manga counterpat (though she gets better after meeting Megu), with her displaying both a level of sadism and a hatred towards Shinku that Manga!Suigintou never showed. At the same time however, Anime!Suigintou at first was a lot nicer than Manga!Suigintou and possesses a more legitimate FreudianExcuse for her current personality.

* AntiVillain: In the first season, she appeared to be a straight villain, until it is revealed in the final episode the main reason behind her behavior. In ''Träumend'', she meeting Megu and seeing Shinku apologizing to her makes her start to mellow down slowly, to the point she mostly wanted Roza Mystica in order to save Megu. ''Ouverture'' gives us her StartOfDarkness.

* {{Determinator}}: So desperate to become Alice that even without an acting Medium, she's still powerful enough to match blows with Shinku (who has a medium).

* {{Jerkass}}: She is cruel to other people, especially her sisters - ''except'' for [[MoralityPet Megu]], [[{{Tsundere}} who she still insults]]. Sometimes it's clear her jerkass behaviour is just an act. In ''Träumend'' she pretends that she only wants a Roza Mystica in order to beat the Alice Game. Shinku only finds out that she also wants it to save Megu after Suigintou dies and she absorbs her Roza Mystica. It is explained with her [[LoveMakesYouEvil motivations]].

* PerpetualMolt: Everytime she shows up or is about to, the page or screen fills with black feathers. Justifed because her wings and feathers are her weapons.

** In ''Träumend'', she meets Megu, a girl that sees herself as incomplete and worthless, a feeling that Suigintou [[CommonalityConnection deeply relate to and is what made her grow fond of the girl]]. After seeing that Megu's life force could be used to enhance her powers, Suigintou tries her best to not use it and is horrified when she realizes that she has been using it without realizing. Her devotion to Megu reaches such level that she partially forsakes her long-time goal of absorbing all Roza Mysticas in order to become Alice in favor of using them to fully heal Megu.

* VillainousBSOD: [[spoiler:In the manga, after learning that Hinaichigo willingly gave her Roza Mystica to Shinku, she realizes that Souseiseki's Roza Mystica had been hurting her because she stole it. She lets both Suiseiseki and Souseiseki go because of this to reflect upon the purpose of the Alice game, commenting snarkily that she will demand the Roza Mystica back later rather than at that point]].

* WellIntentionedExtremist: In ''Träumend'', she wants a Roza Mystica not only to become Alice but to save her medium Megu as well.

The second Rozen Maiden doll, Kanaria makes her appearance only later in the series. Her medium is named Mitsu (but everyone calls her Micchan), who is a maniac doll collector, and her artificial spirit is named Pizzicato. Kanaria considers herself to be the smartest Maiden and often boasts about it, but her plans almost always fail in hilarious ways. Personality-wise, she is similar to Hinaichigo and like her and Suiseiseki, Kanaria has a VerbalTic: "Kashira" (Feminine version of "I wonder?" adaptated to "Maybe" in the official English release of the manga). However, Kanaria ''is'' competent in battle, using the sonic waves of her violin to fight.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: While she is similar to Hinaichigo personality-wise, she is very competent in battle, managing to defeat Suiseiseki, Souseiseki, and Hinaichigo '''simultaneously''' in the anime. Also in the manga [[spoiler:she almost defeated Shinku when she thought she stole Hinaichigo's Roza Mystica, it's stated that she protected Jun from Kirakishou while he was hiding from her in the N-Field and also managed to destroy Kirakishou's illusions using the sound of her violin.]]

The third doll of the Rozen Maidens. Despite her bad attitude, she loves her sisters and doesn't want to fight them. Her weapon is her watering can and her artifical spirit is named Sui Dream.

* HeroicSacrifice: In the anime, [[spoiler:she tries to take on Barasuishou herself to give Kanaria a chance to escape. Sadly, this turns into a SenselessSacrifice when Kanaria decides to keep on fighting. They both end up dead because of it. The manga has another one, more successful one in which she sacrifices her own Roza Mystica to revive Souseiseki fully and banish Kirakishou from her body. She gets better in both of these cases, however..]].

* SympathyForTheDevil: [[spoiler:She felt sad for the twin doll sisters Judica and Madulia, because after Judica grow bigger because of the "[[Literature/AliceInWonderland Drink Me potion]]", they can't return to be one again. Just like Suiseiseki herself and Souseiseki.]]

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:In the manga. And then back to the death again.]]

* TheQuietOne: In contrast of Suiseiseki's talkative attitute, Souseiseki just talks when she's talked to or it's necessary.

* ShearMenace: She fights with her gardering scissors. She uses them as if they were a sword.

* SpiritAdvisor: [[spoiler:After her death, Hinaichigo's spirit still helps up via her Roza Mystica.]]

* SomethingAboutARose: Probably the most profound example amongs the dolls, as she actually has a rose growing out of her right eye socket, which also happens to be her weapon to add in the mix.

Hinaichigo's old medium, and a classmate of Jun, who helps him with missed schoolwork and dealing with the Rozen dolls and such.

* DamselInDistress: [[spoiler:Was about to be abduted by Kirakishou too.]]

Kanaria's medium, who loves dolls to the point of obsession.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: [[spoiler:In her cautived state,]] she wished a prince to come to her rescue, comforting herself thinking it was all a dream. Cue [[spoiler:Rozen presenting himself as the lord of Kirakishou's castle]]; she associated him with a prince and then started to question herself if her love for dolls is because, maybe subcounciously, she's a paedophile since "her prince" is a young boy.

* CinderellaCircumstances: [[spoiler:In her cautived state,]] she felt herself like Cinderella and wished a prince to come to her rescue, comforting herself thinking it was all a dream.
* DamselInDistress: [[spoiler:Abducted too, but at least, keeped out of Kirakishou's seedbed.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Helping Tomoe to escape from Kirakishou, Kirakishou takes her instead. Kanaria was about to help her but Micchan said her to don't waste strenght for her.]]

A sickly girl who is Suigintou's medium.

* BrattyTeenageDaughter: She hates her dad because she's convinced he consideres her a burden and only visits her whenever he remembers he has a daughter. She still loves him, but because she loves him so much, she hates him for, in her eyes, not caring enough for her.

* CreepyChild: Having been bed-ridden for most of her life, she actively wishes for her death and rejects the threatment try to give her. She also believes Suigintou to be an angel, send to finally let her die. Her occasional musings about these things don't help.

* BodyHorror: [[spoiler:At the end of ''Träumend'' when she literally falls apart. Since she wasn't a true Rozen Maiden, she couldn't handle the power of all of the Roza Mystica, leading to her death.]]

* LivingMacGuffin: [[spoiler:At the stage battle, all dolls but Kanaria start to argue about which one has the right to claim Jun as her medium. Jun made Shinku, Jun just a few days agreed to give Suigintou his energy, Kirakishou's body was made by Jun as well and Suiseiseki just came out of nowhere and demanded he kiss the ring she has with her.]] Jun practically turns into an AppleOfDiscord between them.

Also known simply by her VerbalTic, [[MemeticMutation desu]], Suiseiseki is the third doll of the Rozen Maidens. Despite her bad attitude, she loves her sisters and doesn't want to fight them. Her weapon is her watering can and her artifical spirit is named Sui Dream.

* AllLovingHero: She might not show it usually, but she's very compassionate about people and would like for everyone to just get along.

* HatesBeingAlone: Believe it or not, Suiseiseki's mayor fear is being without her sisters, specially Souseiseki. Shinku even said that Suiseiseki is the one most scared of loneliness.

* KnightTemplarBigBrother: Though she loves all her sisters dearly, Souseiseki's well being will always be her priority [[spoiler:going as far of defending Kirakishou of Shinku and Suigintou because of Souseiseki's body being in the line. This is however justified in that she was merely trying to buy time in order to get the Unwound Jun to make a contract with Souseiseki's ring in order to forcefully eject Kirakishou from her body.]]
