Shinku, The Fifth

She embodies the traditional Victorian aristocrat. She is extremely demanding and can seem unappreciative of others, even though this is often not the case. No matter how strong the emotion, Shinku rarely lets her sadness, joy, or fear show through. She is perceived as a rather angry doll, though such isn't the case. She simply wants to put out the look that she is most deserving of Alice. Shinku may seem cold, but she is highly protective of and cares deeply for her sisters and for her medium, Jun. She can be relied on for the occasional bit of parent-like wisdom. Despite her aristocratic quirks, Shinku 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.She takes pride in lecturing, slapping, and generally abusing Jun at every opportunity. Her favorite words are "tea", "servant" and "What?".

In combat, Shinku fights with rose petal-based attacks, making her one of the strongest dolls in battle. The rose petals are extremely versatile; Shinku can direct them to spread out for wide-ranging attacks, or group them together to use as a shield. Her other weapon is a cane, which she skillfully wields like a sword. Shinku has other special powers, such as restoring broken objects with a form of time-reversing magic. Her artificial spirit is called "Hollie".
