Oniwabandana

Oniwabandana cuts a ninja's silhouette. Long pink hair streams behind her in a high ponytail, while a dark mask conceals the lower half of her face and a red band crosses her brow. Her costume pairs deep midnight blue with red and features a diamond-shaped opening across the torso that bares skin in a neat, symmetrical pattern. Thigh-high boots complete the ensemble, the left one marked with a single red bandana.

Her whole reason for existing is surveillance: she is charged with trailing the Sailor Guardians and prying loose whatever information she can. To that end she proves calculating, willing to stage a robbery as bait and to slip between her monster shape and her human self to catch her targets off guard.

Kunzite created Oniwabandana by transforming the tabloid photographer Nana Asahina, leaving her able to drop back into that human guise at will along with an eye that could both capture and print photographs. To bait the Guardians out she robbed the OSA-P shop. They arrived but fell to squabbling, and while they were distracted she reverted to Nana, took pictures of them, and pressed them with questions. Sailor Moon, suspecting a Dark Kingdom link, agreed to meet her under the pretense of sharing more about quitting the team. The meeting sprang into an ambush by Oniwabandana and Kunzite, and she throttled Sailor Moon using her bandana until Sailor Mars burned it away. Once Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus drove Kunzite into a force field and forced his retreat, he abandoned her to fight alone. She split into four copies and armed herself with shuriken and a katana, but Sailor Mercury's bubbles left her disoriented, Sailor Mars incinerated the clones, and Moon Healing Escalation restored her to human form.
