Disclaimer: I do not own Rozen Maiden; they belong to Peach-Pit. I do, however, own the Diamante Troupe, and all the characters herein.
Note: Yes, I know someone made something like this, but I just found out about this section, and I've been holding this story for quite some time. I'd like it very much if you could review or something, just to give your thoughts on, well, this. Thank you!
Meet the Diamante Troupe
Created by Diamante Calice, an actor and proprietor of the Ombra Theatre, when his lover left him for another man, the Diamante Troupe are puppets, made to comfort the ailing man as well as perform. Calice was very misogynistic, and made sure his 'sons' felt the same. However, he was quite wrong for a select few of them.
Calice had always heard of the Rozen Maidens, and hoped to find proof to show that they were real. Therefore, he asked each of the siblings to bring back something that belongs to each Maiden, and has been keeping himself alive using some sort of "dark arts", which is also how he created the company, and how he hopes to find the way that Rozen made his creations so powerful.
Kurotekai
Eldest of the troupe, Kurotekai (Or Kuro-onii-sama, Kuro-kun, and Chibi-kawaii) is very reserved, quiet, and will not hesitate to give you his opinion if asked. When first met, he is generally cold and aloof, but after a while, he is noted as being very much of a tease, making fun of just about anyone's faults. He is also sadistic, and loves to watch the violent pursuits of Kyoushi, though he rarely participates. His power consists of his control over ivy vines, and his ability to manipulate them. He is able to also create glass ivy, which breaks upon impact and wounds the victim, though it is not used often, for his crystal piece has a good chance of breaking. Despite this, he is the most responsible of the brothers, and enjoys watching his siblings gain their just desserts rather than helping them. He is also a great big flirt, and, behind Calice's back, merrily flirts with any girl he sees.
He is dressed in black, somewhat Catholic attire, and has black, messy hair that flops about on his head. His eyes are of scarlet hue, and he is tall compared to the others. He also carries around a shard of crystal; one of the pieces from the chandelier that used to be in the theatre, but broke one night, falling atop an audience.
Hizashitaiko
Hizashitaiko is the second child, though he certainly acts like he's the youngest. He's naïve and very playful, always horsing around with the others. He enjoys playing instruments, and plays a lot for several audiences almost daily; his favorite is most likely the drums, which he carries around with a strap all the time. The drum also has the ability to destroy with its sound. He is also quite peculiar, always referring to himself as 'Hizashi-sama the Great' and thinks quite highly of his musical and fighting skills. The boy is extremely silly at times, and will do just about anything to get a piece of his favorite food: gyoza. His fondness of it usually causes him to do strange things for Kyoushi, and perform errands that would make just about any person cringe. He boasts, however, of being the bravest of the whole company, and supposedly this is true. His only known fear is of the dark, and an angry Kyoushi. He end all his sentences with 'dearou'
He wears an orange Fauntleroy suit, and has short silver hair that is caught up in a brassy, yellow hat. His eyes are different colors: light blue and light red, a seemingly strange combination. His drum is his only accessory; it's a pale orange bottom, with the strap attached to his shoulder.
Kyoushi
The older of the two twins in the family, Kyoushi is known to be extremely prideful, and painfully conceited. He is selfish to the point of cruelty, refuses to give up on old grudges, and pays back everyone accordingly (Or at least how he sees fit). However, he would do anything to keep his twin brother out of harm's way, and will not hesitate to punch someone out of their mind if they dare bully him. He is also quite affectionate, always being sure to show much love to the person he cares for, and being quite clingy and annoying. Also hates to be called stupid, the most violent of the whole company, and likes to intimidate others with his large needle, that he uses as a sword, and can be paired with his twin's powers. He is the best fighter of the group, and can beat the rest of the company both in hand-to-hand combat and armed combat.
Kyoushi wears a dark green, late 1800s-style shirt with somewhat long shorts (Oxymoron! Teehee!) and has dark, red-brown hair shaped into a short, messy bob. His eyes are a pale green, and differ from his brother's greatly. He also carries around a large, golden needle, which he uses to...stab people with.
Kouunshi
Kouunshi, the younger sibling, is very different from his older brother. He is calm, somewhat shy and level-headed, dislikes imperfection, but will keep his opinion and practically everything else to himself. He feels very deeply about honor and wishes to gain the Maiden's items without force, hoping to be able to coax it from them. He has somewhat low self-esteem, scared that he'll say the wrong thing and be mocked, and refuses to yell, even in anger. His love for his brother conquers this, nevertheless, and he will do all in his power to help him and support his opinion, even if it's not his own. Sadly, Calice never showed him much love, due to the fact that he was quite feminine, always sewing and singing and such stuff that was thought of as womanly. He even uses the feminine pronoun 'watashi' when referring to himself. However, Kouunshi is also exceptionally kind, caring, and motherly, despite his powers being quite strange. A small thread protrudes from his arm, which he can pull, and use to strangle or contain an enemy.
Kouunshi sports an outfit very much like Kyoushi; nearly identical, actually. The only difference is the color-a dark azure-and the cut is somewhat shorter, but other than that, it's the same. His hair is somewhat longer than his twin's, but it isn't shown much, since he usually hides under a hat. His eyes are a dark shade of red, and he is known to constantly pull his cap over his eyes just to hide their bizarre color.
Retsukon
Retsukon acts like the eldest of the brother's, always scolding, correcting, or pestering his fellows with advice. He is in no way cruel, but seems very prideful due to the large amounts of correction he gives, but it is never shunned. His sage-like counsel has made a fair impression on the company; he was the one who told them to honor Calice's wishes, and also not to start a war with the Rozen Maiden's, although Kyoushi seems quite intent on it. He is also infatuated and interested by opera, has watched it several times, but is one of the worst singers you could ever hear. Despite this, he sings often, mostly to his brothers and Calice. Retsukon is also the most intelligent of all the brothers, as he had spent most of his time in libraries or researching. Kurotekai laughingly refers to him as 'my nerdy little brother'. And indeed, he is quite the know-it-all, cocky, puffed-up nerd in the family, and likes to make the rest of the company feel inadequate by misusing his great knowledge. His powers allow him to control dead puppets; the ones Calice made, but did not find good enough. They are instead used as weapons, and usually wield knives and the like.
Retsukon is dressed in a very Charlie Chaplin-like way, with his bowler hat usually very high on his head, due to the fact that his head is so large. His suit is a dark shade of burgundy and his hair is short, clean cut, and of flaxen hue. He has deep blue eyes, and wears thick glasses, because his eyesight is so insanely poor.
Douyou
The second youngest, Douyou refers to himself in third person, and is supremely childish. He loves to draw and sing, and has performed the most out of all the company. He is endearing, always cute, and never fails to whine when he is unhappy. His brothers always baby him, even Kyoushi, and rarely allow the child to go anywhere alone. He is also a bit of a 'baby boy', and Calice has always shown special love for him, even letting him sleep in his bed at night instead of his case. He also has quite good painting skills, and has created several masterpieces in his room, and adores his 'art', always showing them to his brothers. A bit of a brag, but by all means good-natured, Douyou is best friends with Hizashitaiko (Or Hizashi-onii-sama) and will do anything to make him happy; even if it means making Kyoushi angry. He also loves to eat Sakuramochi everyday, which is considered strange. He refers to it as Hana-ke-ki, which often creates confusion when he is asked what his favorite food is. He has the ability to paint and eventually make those creations come to life. Unfortunately,he needs a lot of time to create 'masterpieces', so those done quickly look rather...deformed.He ends all his sentences with 'okke!'
Douyou wears a long, white shirt, and brown pants which covers up his feet and which he usually trips on. His outfit is covered by a big, brown coat, since Calice was scared that he'd catch a cold. His hair is a lighter gold than that of Retsukon, and it is cut into a bob; slightly messy, and very smooth and silky. His eyes are light green, and he is usually seen holding Hizashitaiko's hand.
Eibetsu
The youngest child, and definitely the most mysterious, Eibetsu is silent, charming, and, to a point, completely obsessed with dango. He adores it so much, that he would lie in front of a speeding car just to get one piece. He rarely answers questions; either because he does not care, or he does not hear. His mind is that of a child like the rest of the younger siblings, though he has a dark imagination, and is very empathetic. He is known to be the best actor of the troupe, and has gained some great fame as 'that puppet who can act on its own'. He also worships Kurotekai, sometimes parroting what he said, and even copying his style of dress. His emotions are nearly always kept in check, unless it's about Kurotekai or dango; then he will just go crazy. He is also attempting to become as much of a lady killer as his older brother, but fails horribly in the fact that he does not listen, and he will tell the truth no matter how harsh it is. He has been slapped many a time just for opening his mouth. His power consists of two small pieces of metal, which he keeps in his pocket. When he is fighting, they become much larger, and can be used as a sort of...hitting device. They can brake into smaller parts and assemble into mostly anything. He ends most of his sentences with 'desu ne'.
Eibetsu is dressed in dark Catholic garb, and follows the look of Kurotekai quite well, except for one thing; his hair color. His hair is pure white, and long on his shoulders. He has deep purple eyes, and regularly holds his two beams in fighting form, just to intimidate people, which he finds quite funny.
The troupe has been traveling the world for a while, and has decided to search in Japan next. While acting in the theater there, they have stumbled upon a strange sensation, a feeling that can only belong to a powerful being. Or beings. Now, searching the streets, will they finally meet the Rozen Maidens?
