History
Rubina belongs solely to Sailor Moon SuperS, surfacing in just one installment, episode 146. She fills the twin roles of princess and ambassador for the Amethyst Kingdom. Her character takes its cue from Audrey Hepburn's runaway royal in the 1953 film Roman Holiday, and her regal wardrobe echoes that part, though many viewers also spot a resemblance to Diana, Princess of Wales. In the Cloverway English version her rank was altered, and she was billed as a Duchess instead.
