Author's note: Salutations, all. It is Truffles with her first published fanfiction! Rozen Maiden belongs to Peach-Pit and no one else. I'm sorry if this plot has been used before, as I'm very paranoid about this stuff (as I gave up FF before on account of being mortally embarrassed that my 'original' storyplot had been used a million times) … but truthfully, I'm just too lazy to read every single fanfiction up there. So… enjoy! This first chapter is the introduction, then a chapter for each Sister, then the actual story from the viewpoint of my favorite Rozen Maiden (it's all written a bit unorthodox, like a play of sorts…) Sorry for the ultra-long AN. And now, our feature presentation…
"My my, did you hear about the new family that just moved in? They bought that large mansion on Peach-pit Hill- and they have eight daughters!" Two middle-age women were walking down the street holding some shopping bags.
"Yes, I saw them all when they were moving in their furniture. What beauties! In fact, I'll give you the lowdown- Mrs. Takuya from the grocers has some juicy gossip!"
"Pray tell!"
"Takuya-san heard the whole story of the family from who-knows-where, but they're very rich. The mother died right after the birth of the last child. Well, apparently the father moved his family all the way from Germany. He's single- and really young for so many children! The eldest has some disease- the poor thing, the next one is... uh, a bit small for her age. I've some rumor around that she talks to herself, too- there's one in every family. Then there's a pair of these twins, and they have strange eyes, I hear! One that's a bit bratty, Takuya says that she holds herself like a queen- and she's not kidding- and a very cute one. In fact, I talked to that one when I saw them moving in- she's very sweet! Then there's one that follows the eldest around like they're stuck together with glue, and ONE…" The lady leaned in towards her friend's ear.
"…and ONE that's an illegitimate child."
The Alice Game- What the Rozen Sisters have come to call their frequent 'battles' for each-other's Rosa Mysticae
The players-
Suigintou (16) - The eldest. She has some internal organ problems, but that doesn't stop her from playing the Alice Game! Suigintou hates Shinku because she's the obvious favorite. She is Kirakishou's role model- and recently, she's met this girl named Meg at the hospital that she goes to…
Kanaria (15) - A misunderstood genius. She would have won the game ages ago, but her sisters keep ruining her plans! Acting as comic relief, Kana's crazy schemes with her friends Mitsu and Pizzicato always get her in heaps of trouble. She doesn't care too much about her father, but wants the family fortune all to herself!
Suiseseki (15) - The elder twin.She was the first to figure out that fighting each other would never lead to Rozen loving one sister over the rest. Loves to garden and pick on her sister HinaIchigo. Suiseseki wants her sisters' love more than her fathers', but what about Souseseki?
Souseseki (15)- The younger twin. Souseseki is a tomboy, addressing herself as 'boku'. Souseseki wants her father's love more than anything in the world, as she felt that it was her fault that she wasn't born a boy to secure the Rozen fortune. How far will she go to gain her Father's attentions…
Shinku (14) - Shinku is very queenly. She is the obvious favorite, but because of this, four of her sisters hate her. Since she values her sisters' love more than her fathers', she regards it as her duty to stop the fighting between the sisters. Shinku's gained a sort of manservant in a classmate of hers named Jun. She's also gotten hooked on a TV show called 'Detective KunKun' recently- can this be love?
HinaIchigo (13) - Hinaichigo doesn't care about Rozen as much as her sisters and she believes that it would be horrible to be the favorite. Always bullied by Suiseseki. She and her new friend Tomoe are almost always together- drawing, eating daifuku or just hanging out!
Kirakishou (12)- Not much is known about this daughter except that she rarely comes out of her room or speaks to her sisters (except Suigintou, who she worships more than her father). She should come out of her rooms to eat dinner, at least…
Barasuishou (12)- An illegitimate child of Rozen- some of the sisters even blame her for their mother's death (because she died right after giving birth to her). She isn't much of a talker, but feels she has to become Rozen's favorite to gain his true affections and become accepted as a true Rozen Maiden. Is she loyal to Rozen or Enju?
Rozen- The father of the Rozen Maidens and the chairman of a multimillion corporation. He is more often than not away on business trips- and can never forget his first daughter Alice. He can't stand to give away the corps that was intended for his first and favorite. After Alice died, he gave his seven (!) daughters a piece of jewelry each, with a brilliant pink stone called the Seven Rosa Mysticae that symbolized his love for them. When Barasuishou came to live with the Rozen maidens, he gave her one, as well. Does he know what his daughters are up to…?
Setting- The mansion of Rozen is on top of a hill called Peach-pit hill. There is a garden that is primarily taken care of by the twins in back, and a few blocks away from the house is a large field known as the Natsuhiboshi Park. Called the N-Park by frequents, it's very large and VERY mysterious… Instantaneously, it's was named the official Alice Game field by the sisters when they first laid their eyes on it.
(A/N- Sorry again. Can you read the story in the strange format I'm writing it in? I know it's a bit unique, but bear with me! This is probably the only chapter in the whole thingy that will have this little story and that much bolded stuffs (sorry!). If there's anything in bold, it means that there's a definition or explanation (again, like a play). Next up- KanarienVogel. You have to wait for Shinku's chapter for Jun and Nori, HinaIchigo's for Tomoe, Barasuishou's for Enju and Laplace, and the character intros to be over to get on with the actual story and Meg- can you guess the main character?)
