Suiseiseki

*This article is about the character from Peach-Pit's manga 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 heterochromia, which means she 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 white lace like ribbons on each side of her face. Her long auburn hair is curled at the ends and her bangs sweep to the right. 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.

In Zurückspulen her hair is stylized into three massive curls.

## Personality

Suiseiseki is the third Rozen Maiden doll to be created and is Souseiseki's older twin. Suiseiseki is described by Hinaichigo 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 Shinku. Suiseiseki actually cares a great deal for Hinaichigo, and her attempts to cover that up usually come in the form of more insults towards Jun. Suiseiseki’s developed feelings for Hinaichigo before the events of Rozen Maiden, and is very affectionate towards her. She nicknamed her Pretty-Ichigo, but is too shy to say it in front of her face, however, in sometimes slips out. She is also one of Jun’s biggest rivals, and is always very jealous when he gets to spend time with Hinaichigo, accusing him of hogging her. Suiseiseki also concerns herself very much with her twin sister, Souseiseki, and was devastated when Suigintou took away her Rosa Mystica.

## History

### Creation

Suiseiseki was the third doll to be created by Rozen. Like the rest of the first 6 dolls, she spent her first days in the Miniature Garden. Unlike most of the first 6, she and Souseiseki stuck together and the two tended to the orchard and rose garden the Miniature Garden held and the two also made a home out of a wardrobe.

She would later join the rest of the first 6 in tea parties at Hinaichigo’s request. This would last until they were all bored of this and Suigintou had an outburst, at which Suiseiseki did not want to hear. After this, Laplace's Demon made his first appearance to them and informed them of the Alice Game.

## 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.*

## 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. Her watering can also be used to create rain in the real world by expending most, if not all, of her energy.

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. Also like Souseiseki, she can open portals to the dreamworld, but unlike Souseiseki, she requires that the person be asleep before she can open the portal.

## 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.
* Her artificial spirit, Sui Dream, is named after the popular Anna Sui perfume.[*citation needed*]
* Was once depicted with a red/blue eye color combination on the color page for Phase 22. Since Souseiseki was also shown in Phase 20 with the same combination, but reversed, it could mean that Peach-Pit had changed their eye colors for a short time and then changed them back to their original red and green combination.
* Her dress is based off the national dress of Bavaria.
