Appearance

Her defining trait is the lone horn rising from the middle of her forehead, a part she turns into a blade the instant a fight demands it. Command over her rests mainly with Calaveras, while Petz lends a hand as her secondary mistress.

Abilities

Hypnosis is her signature trick. A single spell can sink a target into a slumber that never lifts on its own, and once they are under she strolls into their dreams to siphon their strength away. The forehead horn pops loose and hardens into a sword, while she rounds out her arsenal by taking flight and by scattering her whole body into drifting smoke.

History

Materializing out of the sky amid a puff of smoke, she catches Sailor Moon alone and drops her into a heavy slumber before the other guardians arrive. Sailor Mars lands a scroll attack that wounds her, yet she melts into vapor and seeps into Sailor Moon, feeding on the energy within to finish her off. Tuxedo Mask's kiss is what finally drives her back into the open. She then wrenches the horn free, wields it as a saber, and charges the couple, though she manages nothing worse than a cut to Tuxedo Mask before Moon Princess Halation ends her. No further droid ever follows her from the Spectre Sisters.
