Dazzlessence Jones

**Dazzlessence Jones** is a supporting character in the web-series, *Hanazuki: Full of Treasures* who first appears in Slow Sand Rises.

## Appearance

He is a light blue, diamond-shaped gem with a face, arms and legs. He wears yellow, cowboy-styled boots and was seen with a sheriff badge in Slow Sand Rises, but not again in other episodes. He claims that the material he is made of is "the hardest substance in the universe."

## Personality

Dazzlessence Jones is an energetic individual with an integral moral code. When Hanazuki's moon didn't have a Moonflower to protect it yet, it was Dazzlessence who donned a sheriff badge and took charge to keep the Hemkas and all the other denizens safe from harm. He takes his self-proclaimed position very seriously, and so does everyone else. With great dedication and initiative, he initiates the different safety protocols on the moon, such as the Safety Cave (in Baby Chicken Plant and Brain in a Cave), meteor shower drills and clean up (in Meteor the Family).

Once Hanazuki arrived on the moon to fulfill her Moonflower duties, Jones willingly followed her orders and did what he can to help Hanazuki keep the moon peaceful. In Forgive and Forget, he follows Hanazuki's instruction on painting the Treasure Trees even with no guarantee of it working. However, he is willing to go against Hanazuki's judgement if it seems to put the moon in danger, as seen in "Better Together", where he would rather surrender Kiyoshi to Twisted than risk the moon's safety.

Dazzlessence Jones is a suave speaker, often singing his statements and utilizing verbose words such as "apocryphal" and "recalcitrant".

## History

### Beginning

Prior to Hanazuki's appearance on her moon, Dazzlessence Jones was keeping the order in the area.

### First appearance

"You know, I used to be just like them. But instead of spending all my time floating around the galaxy showering on moons, I subjected myself to tremendous pressure and tremendous, tremendous heat, and that's how I got to be the spectacular specimen you see before you today, so get out."
—Dazzlessence Jones explaining how he got to be when he got out of the Meteor, Meteor the Family
Dazzlessence Jones first appears in Slow Sand Rises when he claims to be in charge and stops Hanazuki from speaking to the Hemkas while perform a slow sand rescue of Sleepy Unicorn.

In Meteor the Family, he claims that the cube-shaped meteors from the shower are his family, and that he was once like them until he exposed himself to great heat and pressure and became what he is today. Hanazuki is skeptical of his claim as there was no evidence that Jones' supposed "family" was even alive. The Hemkas push the meteorite into the lava pit as a part of clean up and Dazzlessence Jones jumps in to save them, Hanazuki, scared for Dazzlessence's safety, grows a lime green Treasure Tree to protect them both. Hanazuki is still skeptical, but lets him be.
