Sailor Power Guardians
CharacterThe Sailor Power Guardians are mysterious sprite-like spirits bound to the Sailor Guardians and their Sailor Crystals. Turning up in the Dream and Stars arcs of the manga and Crystal, each tiny being aids its partner, holding its own powers and secret knowledge of the Guardian it belongs to.
Appearance
Each spirit looks like a shrunken copy of its partner Guardian in Super form, a shape it keeps even after that Senshi has climbed to the Eternal stage. They hover in the air wrapped in a steady glow, drawn as a full circle of light in the manga and as an outline around the figure in Crystal.
Personality
These fairy-like sprites are wrapped in mystery. Though each is fused to a particular Sailor Guardian much as that Guardian's crystal is, the spirit also acts on its own, wielding independent power and holding intimate knowledge of its partner's heart.
They arrive out of some hidden place, offer guidance and encouragement, then slip away just as quietly, leaving no trace behind.
History
The sprites debut in the Dream arc, when the Mercury and Jupiter Guardians catch their partners mid-fall against the Lemures. Entering their dreams, they remind the two of their deepest wishes, hand back their Sailor Crystals, and restore their Super transformations. During the battle in Elysion, as Super Sailor Moon calls up the Holy Moon Chalice, the Solar System Senshi shift into their Princess forms and their spirits materialize, addressing each as a Princess and urging her to pour power from her castle into the Chalice. That surge lifts Usagi to her Eternal form and unlocks the same stage for the others before the sprites fade, the inner ones never returning.
In the Stars arc, the outer Guardians escort Pluto, Uranus, and Neptune toward their castles to raise a shield over the Solar System. Guardian Pluto meets Sailor Pluto at Charon Castle, but as they trace the invaders back to the galaxy's heart, Sailor Galaxia strikes, killing the spirit and Eternal Sailor Pluto together. Guardian Saturn and Hotaru reach them too late and fall as well, with the Uranus and Neptune sprites presumed lost soon after.
The manga's closing chapter adds two more names. Guardian Cosmos introduces herself as the keeper of the Cosmos Seed inside the Galaxy Cauldron and speaks to Usagi, naming the last and least-known spirit, Guardian Chaos, who is tied to Chaos and its own seed.
