Description
Mizushiro Kanon, also known as Shiraishi Kanon, is the main protagonist of the anime Jewelpet Sunshine. She is a human girl who comes from the human world to study at Sunshine Academy, where she is placed in the Plum Section and becomes a classmate and roommate of the Jewelpet Ruby.
Kanon was born as a twin, with a brother named Mikage Shiraishi. She was separated from him shortly after birth due to a birthmark on her head that was considered an omen of disaster, leading her grandmother to have her adopted by the Mizushiro family. She met Mikage again when she was eight years old but was separated once more before eventually reuniting with him as teenagers at Sunshine Academy.
In terms of personality, Kanon is initially portrayed as very posh, mean, and nasty. She holds a strong dislike for Jewelpets and often gets into serious arguments with Ruby, sometimes to the point of physical confrontation. Despite their warped friendship, Kanon and Ruby eventually reconcile and learn to cooperate in difficult situations. As a child, Kanon was sweet and joyful but also sad due to her separation from her brother, a sadness that underlies her prickly exterior. She has a habit of writing love letters and develops a romantic crush on Mikage, unaware that he is her twin. This relationship is later broken when the truth is revealed, and she comes to accept him as her older twin brother, returning to the Shiraishi family and reuniting with her real parents.
Kanon’s motivations are initially centered on achieving her dream at Sunshine Academy and winning Mikage’s affection, but her journey involves personal growth as she learns to overcome her prejudice against Jewelpets and reconcile with her true identity. Her role in the story is that of a main heroine whose personal struggles and relationships drive much of the plot. She is also revealed to be one of the Wise Ones, marked by her birthmark, though the specific abilities this grants are not extensively detailed. After graduating from Sunshine Academy, she returns five years later as a teacher of the Plum Section, demonstrating her development into a more mature and responsible figure.
