Jujubes Mannheim

**Jujubes Mannheim (ジュジュベス・マンハイム)** is a human magician and a character appearing in the Myouyo Project. He is Licorice's father and the ex-husband of Vielchen.

## Appearance

Jujubes has pale skin and purple eyes, with dusky large bags beneath them. His eyes also appear to have pupils within them, an uncommon trait among Pyo's characters. He has extremely long purple messy hair with matching thick purple eyebrows, some parts appearing to be turning a lighter shade of purple or possibly grey. He wears a long dark purple coat with visible disorganized seams all around it, each patch varying in hues ranging from purple, navy and tinted green. On this coat appears to be large sharply pointed teeth mouths as well, one of them shown to be open revealing a long wet purple tongue. He wears a double breasted purple waistcoat with a white cravat, adorned in the middle with a Licorice shaped accessory. He also wears striped dark purple pants and dark shoes. On his hands appears to be visible stitches and seams. He is also seen holding a large sewing needle in his official artwork like a cane. He also appears to be growing stubble.

In one artwork, which appears to show him in the past, he can be seen with shorter hair which is brown, along with wearing a striped brown shirt and dark brown waistcoat and pants, along with the usual Licorice shaped accessory in the middle of a tie. Despite having a mostly brown color scheme, he still has purple eyes. One other illustration follows this design, but shows him with shoulder-length hair which appears to be turning violet.

## Personality

Not much is known about Jujubes personality, though it is said he is a paranoid old man. In illustrations, he can often be seen crying and looking very worried, to the point of sweating profusely. He is said to have an obsession with getting Licorice to love him again.

One image shows he may have the ability to go into a "Sugar Rush" like Licorice can. During this his face becomes pitch black and has white swirly eyes and a large grinning mouth, though unlike Licorice, in this state he still appears to be distressed.

## Background

Nothing much at all is known about Jujubes background as of this time. He is the father to Lycoris Mannheim and the ex-husband of Vielchen Mannheim.

The exact reasons why she wished for a divorce are unknown.
