Kirakishou

*This article is about the character from Peach-Pit's manga continuity. For other uses see Kirakishou (disambiguation).*
**Kirakishou** (雪華綺晶 *Kirakishō, Schnee Kristall / Snow Crystal*) is the seventh doll of the Rozen Maiden series.

## Appearance

Kirakishou is taller than some of the dolls, despite being the youngest. Kirakishou wears a white, ornately ruffled dress. On her head are two small roses tied to her hair, and she wears tall white boots. She has been shown with white hair, and her single eye is yellow; her right eye is not an eye, but simply a white rose growing from the socket. In the manga, Shinku quotes: "Her left eye can see everything, but reflects nothing, while her right eye is an empty hole, with a white rose growing out of it." Kirakishou's hair in the 2013 anime is a peach blonde, and her flowers are white.

## Personality

Kirakishou often acts a little insane, repeating what others say at times. Kirakishou's insanity most likely stems from her obsession towards Hinaichigo, and never being able to see her because because Laplace took away her a physical body, since she cheated in the Alice Game. Prior to this, Kirakishou was a quiet doll, who looked like a mirror image of Barasuishou, she had straight white hair, instead of wavy blonde, and she always wore a frown on her face, though it wasn’t particularly one of sadness. Though she was much more sane, quiet and focused back then, Kirakishou still had an odd side. All dolls that become servant receive something in return, what Kirakishou wanted was to play with the dead bodies after Barasuishou had finished with them.

What drove her to break her servant contract with Barasuishou, was that she was getting in the way of her wish to be with Hinaichigo.

She would watch her through her white crystals for hours on end. She would smile at her, cry and hug Hinaichigo’s reflection.
