Jewelpet (species)

Jewelpets (ジュエルペット, Juerupetto^?) are magical "pets" who live in Jewel Land. In the official setting, they were given birth by the Princess. In the anime, they are ruled by their queen and creator, Jewelina (Raku Majo in the first series). They are known to partner up with humans and work with them on finding magic jewels and accomplishing magical quests.

Biology[]

The Jewelpets as they appear in . — The Jewelpets as they appear in *Jewelpet Magical Change*.

The Jewelpets are magical beings based on various animals, mostly domesticated species. Their stature is generally very small, though most Jewelpets are only slightly taller than an adult human's shin.

Most Jewelpets can stand and walk on two legs and use their forepaws to grab or hold things (despite not having any visible fingers), even if their real-life animal counterpart is incapable of such. Even so, some Jewelpets prefer going on a four-legged stance as a means of locomotion and/or transportation. The most notable examples of this are Angela and Opal, who usually walk on all fours.

Jewelpets are omnivorous like humans, independently of their species. They can eat human-processed food without ill effects, but suffer the same health problems if they abuse one type of food.

All Jewelpets are rational animals, and their level of intelligence has the same range as those of humans. They are also all capable of human speech, albeit with a few exceptions (such as Rald or Tata).

An example of . Ruby's eyes are made of rubies. — An example of Jewel Eyes. Ruby's eyes are made of rubies.

Each Jewelpet's eyes are made of one mineral, after which they are named (with the exception of King, who is not named after his mineral, onyx). These eyes are called Jewel Eyes, and they are what gives Jewelpets their magical power.

There are canonically 42 Jewelpets in total, with the majority of them being female (currently at 23 with 19 male Jewelpets in gender ratio).

Species[]

There are 38 mammalian Jewelpets, 3 non-mammalian Jewelpets and 1 mythical Jewelpet:

12 canine Jewelpets: 11 dogs (Sapphie, Chite, Prase, King, Peridot, Milky, Kohaku, Nephrite, Yuku, Kris and Topaz) and 1 fox (Larimar)
10 feline Jewelpets: 8 cats (Garnet, Diana, Tour, Kaiya, Sango, Dian, Lapis and Alex), 1 cheetah (Jasper) and 1 lion (Granite)
4 rabbit Jewelpets (Ruby, Luna, Io and Luea)
3 rodent Jewelpets: 1 squirrel (Titana), 1 hamster (Amelie) and 1 capybara (Coal)
1 ferret Jewelpet (Nix)
1 hedgehog Jewelpet (Brownie)
1 sheep Jewelpet (Flora)
1 alpaca Jewelpet (Angela)
1 pig Jewelpet (Ryl)
1 monkey Jewelpet (Tata)
3 bear Jewelpets: 1 panda (Rald) and 2 bears (Labra and Rosa)
1 bird Jewelpet (Rin)
1 fish Jewelpet (Aqua)
1 insect Jewelpet (Charotte)
1 mythical Jewelpet (Opal)

Behavior[]

Jewelpets are rational and social animals. When left to their own devices, they will construct a society very similar to those of humans, which includes education and entertainment. They also have mindsets similar to humans but in a more simplistic and childish way due to isolation from the human world.

It is stated in some series that Jewelpets are meant to be partnered with humans. When a Jewelpet and a human form a bond, it increases the pet's magical power and the human's quality of life.

Skills and Abilities[]

All Jewelpets have the ability to cast magical spells through their magic Jewel Eyes. Magic is casted through a verbal incantation (one per Jewelpet) and movement of the body. The verbal spells used to summon magic vary from each series. In addition to this, sometimes a Jewel Pod is required to cast magic, such as in Jewelpet Kira☆Deco! and Jewelpet Happiness. All Jewelpets are theoretically capable of performing basic spells such as moving objects or transformation. Each Jewelpet also has additional specialized abilities that are connected to the trait they represent (Luck/Courage for Ruby, Love for Garnet, Friendship for Sapphie, etc.).

History[]

Jewelpet[]

Raku Majo created the Jewelpets. In Jewel Land, the magicians turned the Jewelpets into their Jewel Charms so they can rest calmly in the Sleeping Forest while cleaning the town, with the exception of Ruby. But during the pelican's delivery of the charms in the forest, a strong wind blew him off, causing the Jewel Charms to scatter all across Takaragaseki City on Earth. Ruby, now being punished, is sent to Earth to retrieve her friends.

At some point of the series Raku Majo created a new Jewelpet, Labra.

Jewelpet Twinkle☆[]

Jewelina created the Jewelpets a long time ago from the positive traits of all human beings on Earth. The Jewelpets do find a partner for the Jewel Star Grand Prix. If a Jewelpet finds a partner, their magic powers will grow and they can communicate with other creatures like Toripaka. They will suffer when their partner lose their dreams. A Jewelpet uses magic circles as part of their magic ritual.

Jewelpet Sunshine[]

Jewelina created the Jewelpets. They are students at schools.

Jewelpet Kira☆Deco[]

Jewelina created the Jewelpets through jewels of Jewel Land. In the Legends of Jewel Land, the Jewelpets were born from the love and caring of their queen, Jewelina. However, a strange meteor crashes into the Mirror Ball, destroying it into a million pieces and its fragments called "Deco Stones" were all scattered in Jewel Land. Even when Jewelina was turned to stone they went to do their daily lives like going to school once a week.

Jewelpet Happiness[]

Jewelina created the Jewelpets. Jewelina asks the Jewelpets to fill up a box with magic gems by joining hearts with humans. Ruby, Sapphie, Garnet, Angela, Labra and Rosa open a cafe and meet 3 girls that will help and work for the cafe.

Lady Jewelpet[]

Jewelpets are mentors to the Petite Ladies, whom pick out their most suitable partner for themselves. The Jewelpets live at Jewel Palace. The mentors are mostly female Jewelpets. If they can’t find a partner, they can’t be mentors, but they may still become mentors the next time they are chosen. For those who aren't chosen to be a mentor, some like Angela can find jobs around the Palace, while others become stray pets and live as wanderers. Jewelpets can power themselves up with a power spot.^[1]

Jewelpet Magical Change[]

Jewelpets are sent out to the Human World in order to restore the Jewel Castle by training their magic. Their magic is however less accurate in the human world. By transforming into their human forms with the power of the Magical Stone, their magic can become a bit more powerful.

Jewelpets also choose their own Jewelina among themselves. The current Jewelina in this season is Luea.

Non-canon Jewelpets[]

There 5 main non-canon 'Jewelpets' that appeared in the series as named and minors characters:

Nachi who appears in Jewelpet Sunshine: in this season, Jewelpets, Humans and Animals lives and go to school along, Nachi could only be an animal but her design is closer to Jewelpet-like characters, but this is unspecified.
Unnamed Sunshine Jewelpets who appeared in the epilogue of Jewelpet Sunshine: A teal-eared dog, a white cat, and a salmon pink rabbit. It is presumed that they are supposed to be the Plum class's successors. The white cat looks like Ruby's successor, the teal-eared dog is Sapphie's, and the pink rabbit is Garnet's. This is especially reflected by their appearances and personalities, much like their previous counterparts. Their design seems like a mix of Jewelpet and Sweetspets.
Lolip who appears in Jewelpet: The Fuss in the Jewel Festival!?: the light novel precise she have no magical power. Her design is a mix of Jewelpet-like characters and also Sweetspets.

Another interesting case is the Mysterious girl Jewelpet from Jewelpet Happiness EP41. In this episode, a new character with a Jewelpet design is introduced, she is an old friend of Yuku that he met 10 years ago and is still looking for. The ending of the episode reveals this 'mysterious girl Jewelpet' was Izumi Taira all along. Which doesn't really make this Mysterious girl Jewelpet a full "non-canon" character.
During the same episode, Garnet and Sapphie question if there is any Jewelpet they aren't aware of and conclude all Jewelpets indeed know each other. This is relevant as Jewelpet Happiness is one of the seasons where we see the less "Jewelpet-like" background characters.

It is common to see background characters in the different series to resembe existing Jewelpets. Those ones usually have simpler design and are used as filler characters. Notable reasons for those filler-Jewelpets characters are the 6 Magic Academies in Jewelpet Twinkle☆, indicating a high amount of students with potential unseen Jewelpets partners, along with the table of Jewlepets mentors in Lady Jewelpet which has 40 seats, but we only see 19 of them. Plus, it is known that the mentor Jewelpets are female-exclusive, but there are only 23 of them in total.

Diversity of Magical classes[]

There are currently 23 female Jewelpets while they are 19 male Jewelpets.
Currently, both the Magical Red and Magical Blue classes have the most Jewelpets with 12 each, and Magical Black has the least with a total of 7 Jewelpets.
Magical Red has the most variety of species (9), followed by Blue (7), next is Green (6) and Black comes last (5).
- Magical Green has equal variety as the Black class due to its total number of Jewelpets. 6 out of the 11 (more than half) Magical Green Jewelpets are dogs, while in Magical Black, 3 out of the 5 (also more than half) are felines.
Magical Blue has the largest gender ratio disparity, with 9 females to 3 males. All the other classes have more males Jewelpets.
Jewelpets are assigned to a Magical Class according to their individual eyes colors. Due to the amount of unique Jewelpets and their gem colors, each Class can be regrouped into a large variety of shades:
- Magical Red Class has: 5 red, 2 brown, 2 pink and 3 orange.
- Magical Green Class has: 1 blue, 3 dark green, 5 light green and 2 green-blue.
- Magical Blue Class has: 5 violet, 5 light blue and 2 dark blue.
- Magical Black Class has: 1 dark brown, 4 black, 1 light grey and 1 dark blue.
  - The reason why Angela is in Magical Green Class, despite having blue eyes, is because both blue and green are considered interchangeable colors in Japan.
