Appearance

At first she takes the stage as a green-skinned woman hidden behind a mask, her hair piled into huge Victorian ringlets above a bulky ballgown trimmed with blue roses. Once that guise is broken, she reshapes into something far closer to a walking gramophone. Her name traces back to chikuonki, the Japanese word for a gramophone.

Personality

As a Daimon, Chikuon exists only to carry out her handler's orders, throwing herself aggressively at anyone who stands between Eudial and a target's Pure Heart.

History

Professor Tomoe conjured her from a gramophone spinning his Hope for the Future waltz. She debuts in her ballgown form, hurling roses that burst on impact, then switches to her second shape after Sailor Uranus lands World Shaking on her. In that form she looses waves of energy and spins records to summon giant musical notes that strike her foes. Eudial brought her along while draining the Pure Heart from the guest of honor at an upscale party the Sailor Guardians happened to attend. Chikuon set upon them, but Tuxedo Mask wrecked her record player, and when she flung her gramophone horn at him it sailed wide. Sailor Moon then ended her with Moon Spiral Heart Attack. She holds the distinction of being the only Daimon to carry two separate forms with different powers, and she is one of just three Daimons, alongside Octave and U-Tahime, to fight using her singing voice.
