My thoughts on Suigintou & Antagonists!

So in the end I choose Suigintou from Rozen Maiden. After all she is one of my favorite characters and one I feel the most for since I came in this fandom here. And I cosplayed her once! I just think she is so mistreated through the series!

Shinku is everybody's darling while almost everyone hates Suigintou. It´s just so mean almost everybody gets along only Suigintou is the evil one who is alone. (I know there are Barasuishou & Kirakishou but I leave them out of the picture here.) Besides Suigintou has it by far the hardest but she still managed, that´s why I also think she is damn strong. For the start -- she is incomplete. Everyone else was completed by father. But Suigintou still managed to walk because of her strong will to do so. She meets Shinku, who helps her learning to walk etc. but still pity's Suigintou. And Shinku didn´t acknowledged Suigintou as a Rozen Maiden. Then Suigintou one day follows Shinku and learns about the Alice Game. And then Souseiseki kills Suigintou who is
a) still confused about the whole thing
b) is defenseless at this point. And she just gets killed there. Without having even time to talk with Shinku about what exactly is going on there etc.
Yeah Suigintou comes back & gets her Rosa Mystica thanks to father but still. I wanna say here: Later most of the dolls live together and are against fighting each other. And they all are angry etc. when one of them gets hurt or even killed. But everybody is okay with the fact that Souseiseki once killed Suigintou and with the fact that she never apologized for that. (It has been a while since I saw the first two seasons so if I´m forgetting here something or say something wrong forgive me and correct me.) And besides that Suigintou gets killed (and restored) more than once by the other dolls. Yeah Suigintou did wrong things as well and indeed she isn´t that nice but she isn´t evil. She cares a lot for her medium Megu -- which I tried to show. She fights for her.

But back to where Suigintou was killed by Souseiseki but comes back alive. Suigintou again meets Shinku, who is shocked to see her alive and also shocked that Suigintou has a Rosa Mystica. That´s where Suigintou realizes that Shinku pitied her and never accepted her as a Rozen Maiden. Shinku only thought of her as an incomplete useless, pitiful doll. Because of that Suigintou is angry and hurt. Due to that she destroys something precious for Shinku. I want to point out here that Suigintou did that because she was hurt and angry because of Shinku. Shinku is by far not innocent! Of course Shinku is also driven by emotions then and says what she says out of rage. She said Suigintou would be junk. Junk. Well that hurts. (Suigintou is incomplete, damaged, never got finished by father. That´s why it hurts so much.) So because of that Suigintou never lost her hatred for Shinku. But Shinku is always the nice on who is loved by everyone. (Also father plays a big role here.) And Suigintou is for everyone the evil one. But all she ever wanted is fathers love. And she never forgot what Shinku said. So she is the way she is because of totally normal and reasonable emotions.

So yes I feel sorry for her. Especially seeing her die hurts me. And I know she isn´t "nice" but I also know she isn´t "evil". She cares a lot about Megu. She is just my favorite. She has reasons why she is the way she is. She is a very well written character. Despite being a doll she is very much human.

And at the end I want to note something about antagonist: If somebody gets always said "You are evil. You are mean." etc. Even if they try their best or even if they have reasons the others don´t understand they get tired of it. Why prove them wrong, when everything I do is still "evil" to them? Then they just give up trying and act like it´s expected from them. They are just humans with emotions as well. They often just need a friend or somebody who understand or tries to understand. Who tries to help them. So people make antagonist. (Azula from Avatar is a great example for that.)
