Housenka is a Youma who serves Zoisite, counted among the Dark Kingdom's flower-named Plant Sisters in the original Sailor Moon anime. She takes her name from the balsam flower and fights by flinging volatile seed-like bombs, meeting her end during the scheme to trap Nephrite.
Pale-skinned and pointed of ear, Housenka has purple hair with a red streak running through her fringe, her eyes darkened by deep purple shadow. Her outfit is a pale yellow bodysuit trimmed in dark pink and green, worn with khaki gloves and leaf-shaped boots. A big pink flower adorns one shoulder, and a smaller bloom circles her left leg.
Her main weapon is a burst of little seed-like orbs; she can fire a handful of them at once, and each detonates violently on contact.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
During episode 24, Zoisite orders the Plant Sisters to seize Naru and draw Nephrite into an ambush, but he beats them back and takes control. Nephrite and Naru get away for a private, heartfelt talk, only to be found once more, and Grape drives thorns into Nephrite. As Naru works to pull the thorns loose, Housenka pelts her with explosive seeds, and Nephrite shields her, absorbing the blast and deepening his own wounds. The Sailor Guardians reach the scene, and Sailor Mercury's Bubble Spray freezes the explosives while hiding the team from the sisters' view. By joining Moon Tiara Action to Fire Soul, Sailor Mars and Sailor Moon wipe Housenka out along with Grape and Suzuran. All three of them resurface later only as a hologram inside a crystal ball that belongs to Queen Beryl, seen reliving that destruction in episode 33.
