Furaiki
CharacterFuraiki is a Droid of the Black Moon Clan built around storm and percussion, dispatched by Petz to draw out Sailor Moon and Chibiusa. She debuts in the eighteenth episode of Sailor Moon R, waging her attack with a battle drum that summons thunder on command.
Appearance
A single yellow horn juts from the crown of her head, giving her a distinctly oni-like profile. Her long white hair streams behind her, threaded with cool blue, and jagged red and blue lightning shapes streak across her eyes like stage makeup. She wears a clinging asymmetrical black outfit with a red-and-yellow drum fixed across her chest, grips a drumstick in each hand tipped in contrasting red and blue, and stands in black boots edged with yellow.
Personality
Furaiki carries herself with theatrical, rock-star bravado, treating a fight as much like a performance as a mission. Assigned to terrorize her targets rather than seize territory, she leans into spectacle, using a days-long tempest to rattle Sailor Moon by preying on a fear of thunder that Rubeus had flagged to Petz.
Abilities
Her power flows from the large drum strapped to her body: striking it conjures downpours and rolling thunder, while her drumsticks fire bolts of lightning and a wielded blow-dryer unleashes battering gusts of wind. During the clash she flattens Sailor Moon against a wall with a blast of air and then jolts her with lightning. The tide turns once Tuxedo Mask smashes the drum, an act that recoils onto Furaiki as a shock; a volley of thrown roses distracts her long enough for Sailor Moon to strike with Moon Princess Halation. Battered, the Droid tumbles through a window and dissolves, her gem dropping into Petz's waiting hand.
