Laplace's Demon

Laplace no Ma
Gender	Unknown

Laplace no Ma (ラプラスの魔, Rapurasu no Ma, Laplace's Demon) is an anthropomorphous white rabbit in a tuxedo and a top hat. He is neither sinister nor kind, and tends to speak in riddles. His brief appearances in the N-Field leave the Rozen Maidens with nothing more than poetic and seemingly nonsensical advice.

In the anime Laplace is Shirosaki's true form, who helps Enju in his doll shop. In the manga nothing is known about Laplace's Demon beyond what he says and Shinku says. Despite seeming to support Barasuishou against the Rozen Maidens, and is seen dancing with Kirakishou at the end of Rozen Maiden träumend, Laplace no Ma's true motives remain a mystery. Laplace is a very clear reference to Rozen Maiden's inspiration taken from "Alice in Wonderland," with appearance and personality deriving from both the white rabbit and the Cheshire cat.^{[citation needed]}

In addition to appearing in Rozen Maiden träumend, he also appears in the manga and at the end of Rozen Maiden öuverture. In the manga, it would appear that when Jun was at a much younger age, the two have crossed paths with Laplace masquerading as a puppet master showing Jun a brief look into the various incarnations of Rozen, although debatably, that might have happened instead in Jun's dream.Laplace shares his name with Pierre-Simon Laplace, a mathematician and astronomer.

He is also known as the trickster rabbit.
