## Appearance

Kanaria's outfit is a bright one, consisting of puffy orange pants and a long-sleeved yellow coat, with the sleeves puffed at the shoulders and laced in white at the ends. The coat is tied in the front at the neck and the waist with brown ribbons. On the back of her coat she has another, larger sized bow, which consists of the same color of her coat. She wears classy black shoes and is often seen carrying a parasol, which she uses frequently to 'float' from place to place. Her hair is green and tied back with two massive curls that frame the bottom of her face. A heart-shaped accessory rests on the front left of her head on her hair. Her eyes are green.

## Personality

Kanaria is a very shy doll and gets very upset, quite easily. She is usually seen crying if someone even says something slightly offensive, and she will also be quite quiet and stutter when she has to talk. Her personality mostly complements that of Hinaichigo, who is her best friend. Kanaria has the unusual habit of ending her sentences with "kashira" ("I wonder?", "maybe?" or "you know?"). Shinku often points out that this is a silly thing to say because that means she is hesitant. In fact Shinku enjoys picking on Kanaria very much, mostly because she is jealous that Hinaichigo chose Kanaria as her best friend instead of her. Kanaria's favorite food is Tamagoyaki, a Japanese thick omelet, which, more often than not, is snatched away from her by hungry birds before she can enjoy it.

In the last season of Rozen Maiden (Rozen Maiden: Zurückspulen) Kanaria is shoved into a magical time clock by Victorique. This clock was a magical one used to revive dolls that still had their Rosa Mysticas. It was said to only be able to be used once to revive a doll. The doll had to have her Rosa Mystica still or it would not work. And another doll had to be sacrificed to save the other. Suiseiseki had recently been killed by Victorique, who didn’t really care wether her victims lived or died. So Victorique stated that she preferred Suiseiseki to Kanaria, and used Kanaria to revive Suiseiseki, ultimately killing Kanaria.

## Weapons and Skills

Despite being constantly funny without meaning to and making repeated failures in many of the things she does, Kanaria is a competent opponent and attacks with a violin that can emit not particularly destructive sound waves. Her artificial spirit, Pizzicato, is named after the technique of playing orchestral instruments by plucking the strings, which she uses as a not very damaging counterattack. Kanaria has very week powers which usually can’t even strike one proper attack. Due to this, Kanaria’s Alice Wish is to be powerful.

## Trivia

* Her name is translated as "Canaria" in the Tokyopop translated manga.
* Disregarding the first Drama CD with its unique cast, she is the only Rozen Maiden who has had more than one voice actress in Japanese. Yumi Shimura retired from voice acting in 2016, leaving Kanaria without an official voice actress for a few years until 2018, when a collaboration event with mobile game *Gothic wa Mahou Otome* featured her, requiring her to be recast. Akari Kageyama was picked and continues to voice her for collaboration events.
	+ Because of this, she is the only Rozen Maiden whose official voice actress series debut was in a form of media other than an anime
