Description
Chiari Tsukikage is the main protagonist of the story and a third-year junior high school student attending the prestigious Jewel Academy. She has short, chocolate brown hair that is somewhat uneven and brown eyes, and she is on the shorter side for her age. Born on April 14, her astrological sign is Aries. Chiari lives on campus at the academy, where her best friends and roommates are two fellow students, Ruruka and Nene.

Chiari is defined by her relentlessly positive and optimistic outlook on life. She is a straightforward, bright, and energetic girl, though she can also be a bit of a scatterbrain. Her most defining characteristic is her extraordinarily bad luck, which manifests as a constant stream of minor misfortunes and physical stumbles. A running visual gag involves her tripping over nothing or falling into unexpected holes and pits; over the course of one year, she claimed to have fallen into 777 such pits. Interestingly, this torrent of bad luck sometimes spontaneously converts into good fortune under specific, often mysterious, conditions.

Her primary motivation is to help her friends and make others happy. This drive leads her to become a key figure in the Jewelpet Cafe Happiness, a shop opened near the academy by the Jewelpet Ruby. Chiari works as the cafe's waitress, often donning a magical waitress costume for the role. She is also a cheerleader for the academy, further demonstrating her energetic and supportive nature. Her role in the larger story is as the human partner of the Jewelpet Ruby, and together with their friends, they work to collect Magic Gems made from happiness to fulfill a mission given by the ruler of Jewel Land.

Chiari's key relationships are central to the narrative. Her bond with her Jewelpet partner Ruby is the most significant, as they work together to manage the cafe and collect magic gems. She is also close friends with her classmates and roommates, Nene and Ruruka. A significant part of her personal story involves her developing a romantic crush on a boy named Kousuke Sanada. This relationship becomes critical to her character development when Sanada, along with others, is possessed by the influence of the Red Moon. In a major test of her resolve, Chiari is forced to fight the boy she loves in order to save Ruby and break the possession, demonstrating her growth from a simply unlucky but cheerful girl into a determined and courageous individual.

Over the course of the story, Chiari develops from a perpetually unlucky student into a proactive heroine who confronts serious threats for the sake of her friends. By the epilogue, she has successfully completed her third year of middle school and graduates to become a tenth-grade high school student, having earned a happy ending after her trials. While she possesses no inherent magical abilities, Chiari uses a magical item known as a Jewel Pod and is able to partner not only with Ruby but also with the Jewelpet Garnet at certain points. In one early instance, her school uniform briefly transforms into a magical girl-style outfit, though this ability is not used again.
