Ptilol
CharacterIn the Sailor Moon S anime, Ptilol and her twin Cyprine together form the fifth seat of the Witches 5. The two boast of being the mightiest of the group and prove a punishing pair for the Sailor Guardians.
Appearance
Ptilol's design copies Cyprine's exactly, only recolored in red. She has red eyes and matching red hair bound into a braided side ponytail over her left shoulder, the opposite side from Cyprine, whose braid sits on the right.
Personality
She and her twin brag that no one in the Witches 5 outmatches them, and unlike their squabbling colleagues the pair share no feud with anyone in the Death Busters.
History
Ptilol and Cyprine first surface in the anime's one-hundred-twenty-third episode, declaring themselves the strongest witches of all. They live up to the claim: whenever one soaked up an incoming attack, the other answered with a strike of her own, and every blow absorbed through their magic staves fed their power higher, which made the fight brutal for the Guardians. The Senshi found the only way through by baiting the sisters into loosing their attacks at each other. On her own, Ptilol fights by firing red energy bolts from her staff.
