Ishtar
CharacterIshtar appears only in the video game Sailor Moon: Another Story as the Oppositio mirror of Sailor Venus. A servant of Shaman Apsu, she takes her name from the ancient love goddess tied to the planet Venus and fights mainly to earn her mistress's favor.
Appearance
Ishtar is built as a dark reflection of Minako Aino. Her hair, eyes, and outfit borrow Sailor Venus's palette, distinguished by orange trim throughout the costume and topped with an orange tiara. The name itself reaches back to Sumerian myth, where Ishtar was the goddess of love linked to the planet Venus and stood as the closest counterpart to the Greek Aphrodite, whom the Romans called Venus.
Personality
Among the Oppositio Guardians, Ishtar is neither clever nor strong, and she never truly earned her place through merit. She joined only because she trailed after Nabu, yet she regards herself as Shaman Apsu's favored servant. Her entire motivation reduces to winning Apsu's approval, and every battle she fights is in pursuit of that praise.
Abilities
Ishtar's signature move is Hell's Shower, which conjures a downpour and inflicts especially heavy damage on Sailor Venus. She also wields Dark Beaut, the same technique used by Calaveras, along with Fascination, a charm effect she shares with Nergal, and Toxic Mist, a poison-based assault.
