Barasuishou (薔薇水晶, Barasuishō?, Rozenkristall, Rose Crystal)
Voiced by: Saori Goto (Japanese), Tara Platt (English)
Barasuishou introduces herself as the seventh Rozen Maiden doll, though this is merely a ploy to dupe the other six Rozen Maidens into entering the Alice Game so that she may obtain their Rosa Mystica. She is clad entirely in lavender and wears an eyepatch over her left eye, though she is revealed to not be missing an eye at all. The eyepatch seems to act as a seal over her emotions, since she only shows a personality when it is removed. In the first and last episodes of Rozen Maiden träumend, she deliberately parrots whatever is said to her in an effort to annoy. Barasuishou is unnaturally calm most of the time, apparently possessing no conscience, and is an extremely powerful adversary in battle. She is also hinted to be mad; when Shinku has her pinned to the floor towards the end of their battle, Barasuishou simply giggles and smiles disarmingly at Shinku. She has the ability to create and manipulate all sorts of crystalline elements, including glass.
Barasuishou's appearance marks the "true" start of the Alice Game, and her presence means that all seven Rozen Maiden dolls are awake. The Alice Game is prematurely commenced when Barasuishou and Souseiseki cross paths with an image of "Father" in a state of misery. Barasuishou tells Souseiseki that he is grieving because he "cannot find Alice", and therefore they must conclude the fight once and for all. Her "Father" is Enju, who was initially believed to be Rozen himself, but is merely Rozen's jealous apprentice. Barasuishou's true origin is revealed in the final episode of Rozen Maiden träumend. Enju was obsessed with surpassing Rozen as the greatest dollmaker; to achieve that end, he created Barasuishou to oppose the Rozen Maidens, take their Rosae Mystica, and finish as the last doll standing. The elements of Barasuishou's attire and overall appearance suggest that Enju had seen Rozen's design for Kirakishou and created Barasuishou from his recollection of it. Barasuishou is believed to have died after being unable to contain the power of the six Rosae Mystica she absorbed; despite Enju's plea for her to release the Rosa Mystica once he realized the truth, she continued to cry out to "Father" and crumbled to pieces in Enju's hands.
Barasuishou appears only in Rozen Maiden träumend and in one scene of the OVA. She does not exist in the manga.
