Ghost Bride

This youma takes the guise of a bridal mannequin, blending into the wedding shop where she operates. The disguise lets her pass as an ordinary display figure until she springs to life to seize a victim.

Cold and predatory, Ghost Bride treats the men around her as nothing more than fuel. She favors mind control over brute force, bending her targets to her will and even turning the arcade worker Motoki into a tool for trapping Makoto.

Nephrite builds her to feed the Dark Kingdom's hunger for human energy, and she sets to work draining male customers at the shop. When Tuxedo Mask leads Usagi and her companions to the boutique, the creature ambushes them with Nephrite backing her up. She grabs Makoto as a shield, but the strong-willed girl breaks free and awakens as Sailor Jupiter. A burst of Flower Hurricane freezes both the monster and Nephrite in place, and Jupiter Thunderbolt finishes the bride off. The drained victims recover in a back room once she falls. Notably, she is the first Crystal monster with no manga counterpart, since the original comic had Nephrite himself posing as the mannequin.
