Shinku

The fifth Rozen Maiden doll. She embodies the traditional Victorian aristocrat. She is extremely demanding and can seem unappreciative of others, even though this is often not the case. Her favorite words are "tea" and "servant"; she takes pride in lecturing, slapping, and generally abusing Jun, her medium, at every opportunity. No matter how strong the emotion, Shinku rarely lets her sadness, joy, or fear show through. Shinku may seem cold, but she is highly protective and cares deeply for her doll sisters as well as Jun. She can be relied on for the occasional bit of parent-like wisdom, and despite her aristocratic quirks, is the most level-headed doll living in Jun's house.

Despite her relative youth amongst the Rozen Maidens, the other dolls look up to her as an older sister, and a worthy challenger in the Alice Game. However, she has a cute side, in that she is unusually open with her intense admiration for the puppet detective "Kun-Kun", which can border on obsessive. Shinku hates cats, as one attempted to eat her wind-up key in the past.

Along with being the central doll in the series, Shinku seems to hold a special place in "Father"'s heart, as he had given her a special brooch with his image when she was created. She desires to become "Alice", but refuses to employ the more ruthless methods of playing the "Alice Game". Shinku believes that there must be a different way to fulfill "Father"'s wishes. She has feelings for Jun, showing it a few times in the anime and OVA, mostly in the first season. In combat, Shinku fights with rose petal-based attacks.
