This article is about the character from Studio NOMAD's anime continuity. For other uses see Suiseiseki (disambiguation).

Suiseiseki (翠星石 Suiseiseki, Jade Stein / Jade Stone) is the third doll of the Rozen Maiden sisters. She is the elder twin sister of Souseiseki.

Appearance

Suiseiseki has mismatching eyes: her right eye red, the left green. She wears a long green Victorian era dress with a white collar and black ribbon around the neck, along with a white hair accessory, similar to a bonnet with beige lace like ribbons on each side of her face. Her hair is stylized into two massive curls. The dress comes down in two layers with an additional piece at the front. A black corset can be seen layered over a white blouse.

Personality

Suiseiseki is the third Rozen Maiden doll to be created and is Souseiseki's older twin. Suiseiseki is described by Shinku as the most timid, as shown by her first impression. Besides being shy and nervous, she was very distrustful of humans. She's also shown to be mischievous, somewhat abusive, and taunting to Jun Sakurada and Hinaichigo. However, despite her attitude towards Jun, Suiseiseki actually cares a great deal for him, and her attempts to cover that up usually come in the form of more insults. In fact, she cares deeply for everyone in her life, even if she does not show it outwardly. Suiseiseki also concerns herself very much with her twin sister, Souseiseki, and was devastated when Suigintou took away her Rosa Mystica.

In Träumend, Suiseiseki stands out among the dolls in that she values her sisters' love more than the goal of becoming Alice. She is one of the dolls who opposes the Alice Game, mainly because she wants to spend more time with her younger twin Souseiseki and has no intentions of becoming Alice if it means taking her fellow sisters' Rosa Mystica. Suiseiseki and Jun attempt, without much success, to convince the other Rozen Maidens that the Alice Game is a meaningless endeavor. During Ouvertüre, Suiseiseki has a small role, seen during a fight between Souseiseki and Shinku trying to stop them fighting, and again sitting in the N-field when Suigintou emerges.

History

Rozen Maiden (2004 Anime)

Suiseiseki and Souseiseki lived together with an old man and woman who's son had died in a car accident. The woman hadn't awoken since the day of the crash and the man was turning old. He though that Souseiseki was actually his dead son Kazuki. Suiseiseki had no idea why Souseiseki was so loyal to 'that crazy old codger', and completely taken aback when she was scolded by Souseiseki for badmouthing him. After that Suiseiseki decided to leave, completely furious that Souseiseki had chosen to stay.

Quotes

• "If we can express our sadness in words, someone can come and try to comfort us. But there is sadness that we cannot express that we must overcome on our own. -Suiseiseki

Weapons & Skills

Suiseiseki, along with her twin sister, Souseiseki, are both referred as gardeners because of their abilities of communicating and tending not only to regular plants, but also to the "soul trees" of humans. She is capable of entering the Dreamworld. Suiseiseki tries to avoid participating in the Alice Game as much as possible, but she can use her watering can to make plants emerge from the ground and manipulate them. Like Souseiseki, she is also able to use her case as a form of mobility. When inside her case she can "fly" it through the air.

Trivia

• In both the manga and anime, she almost always ends her sentences with the Japanese copula "Desu" (ですDesu). In the English translation of the manga she uses "yes" at the end of her sentences instead.
