Shokujo
CharacterShokujo is the star spirit Orihime, appearing in the manga side story Chibiusa's Picture Diary tied to the Tanabata festival. Legend keeps her and her husband Kengyu apart, letting the couple reunite only once a year on the seventh of July.
Appearance
Within the tale she disguises herself as Sailor Moon to draw young women in. Convinced she looks plain and unattractive once her makeup comes off, she dissolves into tears the moment her true self is exposed.
Personality
Insecurity drives her. Persuaded by others that her husband shuns her over her looks, she grows despondent and channels that hurt into a scheme aimed at the local girls.
History
Posing as Sailor Moon at Ichinohashi Park, Shokujo hands out cursed Sailor Moon watches while preaching that women have no need for men. Chibiusa nearly slips under the spell on her way to the park, but Diana rouses her from the trance. Chibiusa then unmasks the counterfeit heroine, prompting Shokujo to break down and confess that her husband had been keeping his distance. Two fellow Weaver stars, Epsilon and Zeta, had planted that lie so they could siphon energy from Shokujo and the assembled women. Once Chibiusa destroys the pair and frees everyone from their sway, Kengyu arrives to reassure his wife of his love. Her name translates roughly to weaving girl.
