Cenicienta

Character

Cenicienta is a glass-bodied Daimon whom Kaolinite unleashes in Sailor Moon S to harvest a Pure Heart Crystal. Uncommonly, her role stretches across two episodes as she stalks the crystal concealed within Usagi, freezing Tuxedo Mask in glass along the way.

Appearance

Sculpted entirely from glass, Cenicienta swings one arm that tapers into a blade. She can also loose a beam packed with splinters that hardens over anyone it strikes, sealing them inside a brittle shell. For all her hulking, rugged frame, the voice that comes out of her is soft and girlish.

Personality

Beyond her fixation on the assignment, Cenicienta reveals little. She locks onto Kaolinite's command to seize a Pure Heart and pursues nothing else, the jarring gap between her brutish look and her tender voice standing in for any real character.

History

The scheme begins with a Daimon Egg tucked into a pair of glass slippers. Kaolinite arranges for Mamoru to buy them as a birthday present for Usagi. When the moment comes, the monster smacks the locket away before its owner can henshin and pulls out a Pure Heart Crystal that glows unusually bright. The dropped Cosmic Heart Compact becomes a clue, and Kaolinite starts to wonder whether the girl and Sailor Moon are one person. Tuxedo Mask rescues Usagi, yet Cenicienta hunts the couple down, freezes him inside glass, and Kaolinite sends her to Tokyo Tower so the crystal can be taken.

Twice the heart is drawn out and twice it returns, brought back first by Tuxedo Mask, then by Sailor Uranus; she judges it no Talisman. Posing as Sailor Moon, Sailor Venus dupes Kaolinite and snaps the Daimon's arm with a kick. With her brooch recovered, Usagi henshins and finishes Cenicienta off, releasing Tuxedo Mask. Kaolinite afterward soaks the mended shoe in culture fluid to drain the creature's power, only for Sailor Uranus to redirect it and kill her.
