Profile

Minami Asaoka is Rinko's childhood friend and Garnet's human partner. Also 14 years old and attending junior high school, Minami is a member of the school's Kendo Club whose family owns an Okonomiyaki shop in the city Suburbs. She's very tomboyish and uses her Kendo skills in some situations, though she admires her club senior Miyamoto. She's also very supportive to Rinko in the situations where she may give up in a battle. And despite her personality, she likes the color pink and stuffed animals—shown in how she decorated her room pink. She helps Rinko and Aoi in finding the lost Jewelpets on Earth. Minami is one of the characters in the first season whose mother is not shown.
