History
Rozen Maidens were a set of dolls that were believed to had been created by the legendary dollmaker known as Rozen. Each of them were brought to life by tapping into a force of energy known as the Rosa Mystica that made them living beings. These creations were masterpieces that were also referred to as living dolls. They held a deep respect for their creator who they called "Father" and became fixated on becoming a real girl. This could only be achieved by defeating the other dolls and absorbing their Rosa Mystica with these challenges known as the Alice Game. This was a struggle between the various dolls who killed one another for their Rosa Mystica with the ultimate victor becoming Alice who was considered the ultimate girl. The winner of the Alice Game would then have the opportunity to meet their "Father". Mankind at large knew of them according to records but it was believed that none of the dolls had been encountered and some even doubted their existence. Even organizations such as the Doll Lovers Society believed that the Rozen Maidens were fictional or not true creations. Despite this being the case, the dolls operated within the world where they found mediums that powered their abilities. A German writer imparted his knowledge of the Rozen Maidens in a piece of literature that managed to survive the decades.
Overview
A Rozen Maiden were small dolls that were dressed as ladies and were not actual toys but rather living beings animated by Rosa Mystica energy. The dolls skin were noted for being so lifelike that it resembled human skin and their bodies felt warm to the touch. When inactive, they needed a human to 'wind' them up through the use of a key that was placed on the back to awaken them. Normally, they slept within a briefcase that acted as their home and where they kept a number of their personal items. Each doll also had their own powers that specialized in different fields such as gardening and tending to plants which equably allowed them to look after the 'life tree' within the mind of a human. Similar to individuals, the different Rozen Maidens had varying degrees of personalities and traits. One force that the living dolls could summon were the Zeitgeist that were artificial spirits that served them.
Each doll was empowered by a mystical energy force known as Rosa Mystica. This power was not fully available to them until the doll found a medium. These mediums were normally humans that had willingly accepted to becoming a servant to the Rozen Maiden. Formally accepting the role also required the medium to kiss the red ring of the doll which led to a magical counterpart being formed on the hand of the medium. The bond between the two was permanent unless willingly relinquished by the Rozen Maiden. Through the medium, the doll had greater access to her powers and able to conduct various acts of magic. This came at the cost of the life energy of the medium and could potentially lead to the death of the medium if too much power was employed. When separated from the medium, a Rozen Maiden had access to only half of their power and could only function for thirty minutes away from the servant. Multiple dolls were capable of sharing a single human to serve as a medium and tapping into the power the host generated for them.
As part of the Alice Game, they were required to battle one another with the defeated party relinquishing their Rosa Mystica to the victor. This act turned the defeated into a powerless ordinary lifeless doll whilst the victor was further empowered and closer to becoming like Alice.
