History

Kunzite twisted her into the Youma Shakoukai and set her to luring Sailor Moon into her Princess Seminars so he could learn the guardian's identity. She came close, singling out Usagi as a likely suspect after watching the girl throw a frisbee with the same precision as Moon Tiara Action. Before she could pass that discovery to Kunzite, Moon Healing Escalation restored her, and she woke with no memory of her time as a Youma.
