Mademoiselle appears as an antique doll often accompanied by Shu Itsuki. In large crowds, she speaks in Shu's stead. Shu aids Mademoiselle while she speaks by carrying the doll and performing movements with it. Shu clarifies that he is not a ventriloquist when asked.

Quick Answers

Who is Mademoiselle? Why is Shu doing ventriloquism?

If you ask Shu Itsuki about his ventriloquism, he will deny being a ventriloquist. This is because Mademoiselle isn't a make-believe character, but a result of Shu having a dissociative disorder, Mademoiselle being a member of his system and strongly identifying with Shu's beloved antique doll. Shu is very protective of Mademoiselle, letting very few touch her. Most of the cast treat Mademoiselle as a completely separate entity, greeting her separately and sometimes holding conversations with her. Although she often accompanies Shu, she is not always by his side. However, she is described by Shu as always living in his heart.

What is the origin of the Mademoiselle doll?

The Mademoiselle doll is an original creation of a dollmaker friend that Shu's grandfather had met during his time abroad in France. She was an incredibly skilled dollmaker who created dolls as a private hobby, and would reproduce natural items as dolls in life-like detail. Shu's grandfather saw her work and became enamored with it, and they forged a friendship. She created two "Mademoiselle" dolls, one for herself, and one for Shu's grandfather to take back to Japan with him. Shu personally believes that the doll exists as a memory, a symbol of the happiness they shared together.

Why is Mademoiselle more present in older stories?

Mademoiselle is more present in older stories typically because Shu required her assistance more often than he does now. During his 3rd year at Yumenosaki, he struggled consistently in voicing his feelings, and Mademoiselle would often present herself to aid him. As Shu regained confidence and his emotions stabilized, he found himself capable of communicating more easily, and as a result she typically remains silent.

Appearance

Mademoiselle is a small, petite doll with long, blonde hair and emerald eyes. She has multiple outfits that Shu made for her, but frequently wears one made to match the Yumenosaki Academy school uniform. During the warmer months in Enstars!!, she wears a blue dress and hat to match Shu's casual spring-summer outfit.

Personality

Mademoiselle is rather doting, but has a mischevious side, speaking for Shu against his will at times and teasing him to others. Kuro has remarked in the past that Mademoiselle's way of speaking resembles his mother's, which displeases him. Mademoiselle has a tendency to keep to herself and use the antique doll that's known to represent her as a vessel, but doesn't necessarily exist within the doll as she's proven herself capable of speaking without it. She most often speaks to Mika, but in Neverland, she silences herself from speaking with Shu when Mika arrives, stating that she feels there isn't much chance for her to speak when he's around.

Family
