Sakiko's Ghost
CharacterSakiko's Ghost is the apparition conjured from a psychic child's suppressed anger in a first-season episode, remembered as the earliest monster-of-the-day with no ties to any villain organization.
Appearance
The specter takes the shape of a woman's face twisted in fury.
Personality
More a force of emotion than a thinking creature, the ghost draws its rage from Sakiko's bottled-up wish to defy the father who forces her training on her. That fury spares no one, lashing out at the Sailor Guardians and at the very man who called it forth.

History
Under her father's hypnosis, Sakiko first calls up the ghost to menace the guests and staff of Pension Adams. When he compels her a second time to drive off Usagi, Rei, Luna, and Ami, the creature turns on him too, gorging on his daughter's resentment. It proves impervious to the Guardians once they transform, as Moon Tiara Action passes straight through it, and it shrugs off their strikes while battering foes with fierce gusts of wind and shredding Rei's ofuda charms, drifting weightlessly through the air as a pure spirit. Even after Ami rouses Sakiko, the ghost keeps attacking against her will, until the girl looses a psychic blast to guard her father and disperses it for good.
