Description
Io is a male Jewelpet who takes the form of a Holland Lop rabbit. His fur is light brown, and he has long, drooping brown ears that serve a unique purpose. His jewel eyes are made of purple iolite, and he typically wears a purple ribbon bow tie. In the world of Jewelpet Sunshine, Io is a student attending Sunshine Academy, where he is placed in the third-grade Rose Section under the instruction of Jill Konia.
In terms of personality, Io is generally depicted as gentle, laid-back, and leisurely. He is known to be a good listener who enjoys hearing other people's stories. He often displays a loyal nature, though he can also come across as childish at times. One of his notable quirks is that he frequently ends his sentences with the phrase Dachi. Within the specific setting of Jewelpet Sunshine, Io is portrayed as a rapper. A memorable event involving him occurs at Kaiyas matching party, where he attempts to court a fellow student named Peridot. His efforts are met with a blunt rejection, which sends him into a state of comedic despair.
As a Jewelpet, Io symbolizes Refreshment. His magical abilities are centered on this theme, allowing him to use magic that can make humans feel energized and mentally clear, effectively combating fatigue. In a more general sense, his magic is also capable of promoting health by influencing dietary habits. A distinctive physical ability he possesses is flight; unlike many other Jewelpets who use broomsticks, Io can fly by flapping his long ears as if they were wings.
Io is a member of the Jewel Eight, a group of powerful Jewelpets. His birth date is December 29, and his name is derived from the jewel Iolite. Historically, he was once corrupted by the magic of another character named Dian, which turned him evil and caused his refreshment magic to have the opposite, draining effect on humans. He was later reclaimed and returned to his good nature. In later series within the broader franchise, such as Jewelpet Kira Deco, Io takes on roles like being a loyal assistant to another Jewelpet named Opal, but within the specific context of Jewelpet Sunshine, his role is that of a fellow student whose misadventures in romance and his life at the academy form the basis of his appearances.
