As the ideal dictates, she's quiet, submissive and attentive to others' needs; as Mint points out, this has lead to her developing a mask, hiding her true feelings of resentment towards the fact that no one takes into consideration what ''she'' wants, which makes her an easy target for Diana's curse.

303	!!'''Hanako Kabeno'''
304	!!!Voiced by: Satomi Hanamura
305	Hanako is a homely girl who exchanges letters with a famous model named Harato. She is nervous about seeing him in person as she thinks her appearance will disgust him. She awakens the Jewelpet Luna, who changes her appearance into that of a beautiful, fashionable girl. However, the spell only lasts until midnight, allowing Harato to see what she's actually like. He tells her that he's always liked her because of her personality and doesn't think she's ugly at all.

322	* DarkAndTroubledPast: The trio had been together for a long time, and they had a hard time getting money. Suddenly, Diana came...
323	** Sage shed more light on this in episode 19: one rainy day, he encountered a black kitten who looked just like Diana and took pity on her, using his broken umbrella to shield her from the rain. But when he was about to leave, he again took pity on the kitten and took her back to Mint's place. She forbade taking in cats, but he insisted, and she reluctantly agreed. He took care of the kitten as his little sister until she disappeared. In his desperation, he encountered a Jewel Charm which told him that it was her. It told the thieves that the only way of releasing her was to get exposed to Rinko's awakening magic and they did so, coinciding with the events from the first two episodes of the anime. But it turned out the kitten they awakened wasn't the one they were looking for, but instead, an evil Jewelpet named Diana. Sage was heartbroken that he would never find the kitten, until Mint told him the kitten had gone back to her original owners.
324	* {{Expy}}: They are a trio of bad guys who steal precious creatures from the heroes, introducing themselves with a motto and they’re blasting off at the end of each episode… Just like Team Rocket from the ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries''. Mint and Sage are also share traits with Jessie and James.

333	* StupidCrooks: They're really not cut out for a life of crime, failing to take chances when they're right in front of them.
334	* TerribleTrio: Three bad guys; the leader a somewhat normal-looking woman who's way in over her head, her two underlings a lanky man and a pudgy woman, both, if not all, incompetent.

346	* HellBentForLeather: Wears thigh-high, black leather boots.
347	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Mint is harsh and unforgiving due to having lived all her life on the street, fending for herself, but she does have a soft spot for her fellow thieves (who also happen to be her childhood friends) and has a certain sense of justice, as she ultimately heeds Rinko and turns against her evil boss Diana.
348	* OldMaid: Mint is 30-something years old and takes offense at being reminded of it.
349	* ShonenHair: Mint has short, spiky hair that defies gravity.

355
356	* CreepyCute: InUniverse - Sage refers to himself as such in their motto.
357	* KindheartedCatLover: Sage is fond of cats and tried to adopt and care for a kitten despite his downtrodden lifestyle. When Mint sent it off to be adopted by someone who could actually support a cat, Sage accepted it, knowing the cat would be happier.
358	* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Sage is truthfully a nice guy and is too weak to do harm, but he has to stick with the thieves and Diana since they're his only hope of getting off the streets.
359	* NonActionGuy: Mint and Aojisho fight somewhat well, but Sage is too weak to do so.
360	* TallDarkAndSnarky: Certainly, Sage is very lean and tanned, he dresses fashionably and has a dry wit - but the effect is lost by his sickliness and not being handsome at all.

375	The Majos are the Four Great Magicians and leaders of Jewel Land. They are Raku Majo (the leader), Ki Majo (the plump, jolly one), Ai Majo (the one who cries easily) and Do Majo (the angry one). They are the ones who send Ruby in her quest to the human world.
376
377	* AdiposeRex: Ki.

379	* BigGood: They're the leaders of Jewel Land and have the task of making sure no harm befalls both worlds.

392	* LeanAndMean: Do is the tallest, thinnest and has the temper of a devil.
393	* MeaningfulName: 'Raku' is Engrish for 'luck'. The meaning it lends to her character is perhaps best reflected by the translations of her name; in Spanish, she is called Comodina, which means 'wildcard', and it reflects her versatile powers and personality compared to the other Majos.
394	* MsExposition: They're the ones to tell Rinko and friends about Diana and her purposes. Later, they also tell them about Dian.
395	* OddJobGods: Ki, Ai and Do specialize in a single field, whereas Raku is versatile, so she's their leader.
