souseiseki

The fourth Rozen Maiden doll, Souseiseki is Suiseiseki's tomboyish twin sister. Like her sister, she is a gardener with the ability to enter human dreams and carries pruning shears to tend to soul trees. In battle, she combines acrobatic flight with her spirit Lempicka and her boomerang-like hat. Her heterochromatic eyes mirror Suiseiseki's in reverse. While Suiseiseki is energetic and playful, Souseiseki is rational, calm, and deeply devoted to her master and duties. She speaks sharply and attacks ruthlessly, using masculine pronouns like "boku." In the manga, Souseiseki's master sought revenge through her dream-entering abilities but realized his heart needed freeing instead. She sacrificed herself, leading to Suigintou seizing her Rosa Mystica. In the anime, she serves an old man mourning his deceased son, Kazuki, and shows more eagerness for the Alice Game than her sisters. Despite losing her Rosa Mystica to Suigintou, she remains the second doll to lose in the Alice Game. Later, it was revealed that Kirakishou used Souseiseki's body to enter the human world. After a confrontation involving older Jun, who accidentally contracted with what he thought was Suiseiseki's ring but was actually Souseiseki's, Kirakishou left the body. To revive Souseiseki, Suiseiseki placed her own Rosa Mystica into Souseiseki’s body, knowing the risk of failure. This act allowed them to escape Kirakishou's field and meet with Shinku and others. To restart a wooden clock, crucial for their mission, Souseiseki negotiated with Suigintou to borrow her Rosa Mystica temporarily. She lied to Suiseiseki about how she returned, promising eternal companionship upon returning to their original world. However, Souseiseki planned to return her Rosa Mystica to Suigintou after restarting the clock. When Shinku collapsed due to time running out, Suigintou demanded Souseiseki fulfill the deal, but younger Jun and Kanaria intervened with Shinku's real body, guarded by Hinaichigo's Rosa Mystica. Surprised by this, Suigintou reconsidered the deal, ultimately deciding not to proceed. Her artificial spirit, Lempicka, is named after a fragrance by Lolita Lempicka. Souseiseki was also the first runner-up for Saimoe 2005. Her mediums include Shibasaki Motoharu (Anime), Yuibishi Kazuha (Manga), and Jun Sakurada (alternate dimension and real one).
