Splitter said: She treats Jun like property. The only reason she helps him is because he's her medium and she needs him to fight at her full potential. Everything she does is for her own self-satisfaction. She pitied Suigintou but once she returned with a Rosa Mystica, Shinku wasted no time going into denial and telling Suigintou it was impossible for her to be a Rozen Maiden because Rozen never loved her and she was a failed creation. She lives her life talking down to everyone around her, treating them like lesser beings. Not one person does she look at as her equal. Oh, and despite how "kind" she may be, she's only "kind" for her own self-satisfaction, and she can't stand to see someone "lesser" become her equal. Stuck-up, spoiled rotten, and self-satisfying, there really is no worse character in all of anime than that porcelain twat.
The part where Shinku denied Suigintou of being in equal took place several hundreds years ago. Back then, she's a real bitch, belittling all other dolls. It's kinda understandable that she don't recognized Suigintou as equal at that time, because back then, she believe only "perfect" girl can become Alice, and Suigintou is "crippled".
She killed Suigintou in season 1.
Rozen Maiden Traumend, after Shinku killed Suigintou, you can tell that she's not comfortable with it, she constatly have nightmares about Suigintou, and really regrets everything she did to her. Remember the time when Suigintou enter her dream just to warn her that she's back? She cried out of happiness, and apologizes to Suigintou about calling her a junk, and how everyone can become Alice. (That surprises Suigintou, while she's absent, Shinku have changed.)
and finally, the last 3 episodes of Traumend, you can see how she tried to avoid fighting, and she didn't really fight till she's finally ticked off because of the death of her other 2 sisters. (Kanaria, Suiseiseki) Even when she ticked, she mostly just question the actions of Suigintou and Barasuishou, and not killing them. (Though Barashuishou continues to mock her even after Shinku got her down, when it comes right down to it, all 5 sisters of her's died because of Barasuishou, so she nearly took revenge.)
She did look down on other dollz before, as can be seen from the OVA and most of season 1, but she slowly changes in Traumend.
Season 1, she start being kind to Jun, season 2, other dolls. |
