Description
Delmin is a small-statured, anthropomorphic girl belonging to the Devil Mint demon dragon tribe. Her most distinctive physical features include mint-colored hair styled into twin drills, pink eyes, and a pair of prominent pink horns on her head. She has a petite build, standing at approximately 140 centimeters tall, and her birthday is on March 10th. Within her band, Mashumairesh!!, Delmin serves as both the vocalist and the bassist, playing an instrument called the Shubitt Uzushio-maru.
Delmin lives alone in an old, worn-down apartment in MIDICITY, having left her family home due to complicated circumstances. She is fiercely independent, managing her own finances by taking on detailed part-time work, such as winding coils, and she prides herself on her cooking skills, particularly her ability to fry eggs. Her personality is characterized as serious, cool, and studious, often speaking in a soft, monotone fashion. Despite this composed exterior, she has a subtle playful side and a unique sense of humor, once suggesting a strange nickname for a friend. A notable quirk is her strong dislike for anyone touching her horns. She is almost never seen without her favorite plushie, Onigiri Kumaman, which, despite being a stuffed doll, sometimes appears to move on its own.
Delmin's core motivation stems from a feeling of inadequacy within her own family. She left her homeland because she was considered a disappointment or a failure within her clan of warrior dragons, largely due to her small stature. Her deepest desire is to be ordinary and to live a quiet, unassuming life, believing that she cannot fit in with her own kind. In the story of Show By Rock!! Stars!!, this personal conflict comes to a head when she returns to her ancestral home on Devil-Mint Island after receiving a deceptive letter from her father claiming he was ill. Her father, a traditionalist from a tribe of warriors, struggles to understand her path as a musician, preferring she demonstrate strength through combat rather than through song. This arc forces Delmin to confront her past and assert her own definition of strength, showing that her desire for an ordinary life is itself a brave choice.
Delmin's most significant relationship within her band is with her bandmate, Ruhuyu. Their dynamic is a classic contrast, with the energetic and eccentric Ruhuyu constantly dragging the calm and collected Delmin into playful situations. Although Delmin often feigns annoyance, particularly when Ruhuyu pesters her while she is working, she genuinely cherishes their friendship. Ruhuyu is one of the few people who sees past Delmin's reserved nature, and she is deeply loyal to her, even acting as a mediator between Delmin and her father during their tense reunion. Their bond highlights a theme of mutual acceptance: Delmin, who wishes to be ordinary, is drawn to and accepts Ruhuyu, who desperately wants to be special. She also shares a supportive friendship with her other bandmates, Howan and Himeko, once attempting to help the latter with dieting and exercise in her own uniquely rigorous way.
Throughout the series, Delmin shows significant growth. Initially a recluse who pretended not to be home to avoid social interaction, she gradually opens up to the members of Mashumairesh!!, forming a found family that accepts her for who she is. Her journey to Devil-Mint Island represents a crucial step in her development, as she stops running from her past and uses her music to bridge the gap between her old life and her new one, ultimately earning her father's understanding. She evolves from a lonely individual who believed she was a failure into a confident artist who finds strength in her band and her chosen family.
In terms of abilities, apart from her musical talent as a bassist and vocalist, Delmin possesses a fantastical and somewhat chaotic power. When she sneezes or exclaims the phrase Shubi!, her horns can fire a powerful, often destructive beam of energy. This ability is innate to her species, but she has learned to modulate its output, sometimes using a low-powered version of the beam as a makeshift massage tool, much to the dismay of her recipient.
