Touhi-chan
CharacterTouhi-chan, a genius loci, turns up in the Sailor Moon side story titled The Melancholy of Mako. Passing herself off as a shop clerk, she siphons the energy of those she lures into escapism, until Sailor Jupiter cuts her down.
Appearance
She wears her pale hair in a pair of spiral buns that cover her ears. Her outfit is a short dress patterned with spirals along the hem and across the shoulders, its long sleeves running past her hands, and she keeps her feet bare. To pass as a shop clerk, she throws an apron over the very same dress.
Personality
At first glance she comes off as sweet and cutesy, yet that front conceals a cruel streak. What she truly wants is to hoard human energy for her own ends, and the sugary act falls away once that craving takes hold. Even her name carries the sense of escapism.
History
Touhi-chan haunts the front of a shop that sells pretty little goods, from jewelry to snacks, lured there by the sugary energy spilling out of it. When Makoto stops by, she pushes discounted scones, brownies, and herb tea, and Makoto happily takes the bait, only to fall under a spell of escapism. Usagi and Rei catch up with her mid-binge, drowning her troubles in food and drink, and they sense a demonic aura on the wares, which forces Touhi-chan to shed her disguise. Usagi reminds Makoto of everything still waiting for her once her studies are done, snapping her friend back to reason. In the end, Sailor Jupiter cuts Touhi-chan down with Jupiter Coconut Cyclone.
