Rima Mashiro (真城りま, Mashiro Rima) replaces Nadeshiko Fujisaki as the new "Queen's Chair" of the Guardians. She is a character in the manga and anime series Shugo Chara!, and one of the main protagonists of the story.
Although Rima is the same age as Amu, she is extremely petite, cold, and has relatively poor athletic ability. Most of the boys in her class admire her because of her beauty and passive personality, while the girls are annoyed by her because of her arrogance. She "fake-cried" when she knew that Nadeshiko was Amu's best friend, though Nagihiko is the only one who can see right through it. Some call her "The Goddess of Comedy".
After seeing how Amu worked hard to cleanse X-Eggs, she began to join in with athletic activities. Slowly, she develops a close relationship with the Guardians. She was nearly kidnapped once, and because of that her parents always worry and take her home everyday after school.
Appearance
Rima has wavy blond hair, with long bangs hidden behind a thin black hair-band with a small ribbon in the middle attached to it, and golden-honey yellow eyes. Her hair is so long that it goes down to her waist. Her cute appearance somehow resembles that of an elegant English lady, and attracts many boys in her class. At first, all the girls hate her because she is attracting almost all the cute boys in class. Then, a sports event comes and Rima is forced to play sports by the other girls. With Rima's help, Amu's team wins.
Voice Actress
In the anime television series, Rima is voiced by Sayuri Yahagi.
Rima has been seen several times watching comedy, which she and Kusukusu watch and laugh about often.
She also often makes silly faces (or used to) to make her mom and dad laugh. When people do gags (such as Bala-Balance) wrong, she gets extremely angry and corrects them. She also makes sarcastic comments when not exactly nessecary. She is constantly checking her cell phone to call for servants.
Rima's Guardian Character is the comedic Kusukusu, who is born from her desire to make others laugh.
Whenever Rima feels sad, she would make funny faces to cheer her up. Like Rima, they share a passion for making perfect funny performances to make others laugh.
When Rima undergoes a Character Change, she will receive green facepaint
under each eye, the left is the shape of a star, the right in the shape of a teardrop and does the Bala-Balance. By then, she will act like a clown and make funny performances.
Her Character Change can be easily triggered when someone makes an imperfect comedic move, and she aggressively confronts them, telling them how to make it what it requires to be perfect and funny.
During Character Transformation, Rima merges with Kusukusu and becomes "Clown Drop". This represents her desire to be as funny as a clown. Rima has been able to Character Transform into "Clown Drop" since before she appeared in Shugo Chara!. She first reveals her Character Transformation in Episode 28 of the anime and Chapter 16 of the manga.
Appearance: Rima's attire resembles a rodeo clown, containing a pink, ruffled dress and red collar. She has a large red bow in the center of her hair, and has white tights and red shoes.
Abilities: Clown Drop can perform Juggling Party with a pair of juggling clubs. Another attack is Tightrope Dancer with her tightropes. She can also perform a combined purification move with Yamato Maihime called "Queen's Waltz".
