Biography[]
Because of her constant fighting she was eventually transferred to Crossroads Junior High School. However, no sooner than she was transferred, Lita beat up three bullies who tried to steal Serena Tsukino's lunch money. While everyone in Serena's school was afraid of her because of rumors, Serena chose to befriend her regardless. She fell in love with Game Machine Joe. When Zoycite came and extracted Joe's Rainbow Crystal, turning him into one of the Seven Shadow Warriors, Game Machine Man, Luna discovered Lita to be Sailor Jupiter, and gave her a pen that allowed her to transform by saying "Jupiter Power!" She attacked the Negamonster, and then Sailor Moon healed him with Moon Healing Activation, turning him back into Joe. Following this, Lita fell in love with Andrew, whom Serena was also in love with. Sailor Jupiter fought alongside the other Sailor Scouts against Zoycite and Malachite's monsters. On their way to the Negaverse, Sailor Jupiter was attacked by the Doom and Gloom Girls, pretending to be Andrew. She destroyed two of them with Jupiter Thunder Crash, but was apparently killed in the process. She later returned to give Sailor Moon power to defeat Queen Beryl. She was revived following this, but lost all memory of being Sailor Jupiter.
Her memory was restored along with the others by Luna in Episode 2. She attacked the Cardian, Minotaur, before Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus destroyed her. She received her wrist communicator and new transformation pen and transformed using "Jupiter Star Power." Against Cardian Mophead, Sailor Jupiter used a new technique called Jupiter Thunder Dragon.
Against Avery and Prizma, Sailor Jupiter used another new technique, Jupiter Thunderclap Zap. She always seemed to be the one to fight Prizma, as both use the lightning element.
Sailor Jupiter fought alongside the other Sailor Scouts against the Bureau of Bad Behavior. Her Jupiter Thunder Clap Zap appeared to have its name changed to Sparkling Wide Pressure. She was the second of the Sailor Scouts to be targeted for her Pure Heart, with Scar extracting it, but it was later returned to her. Sparkling Wide Pressure was an attack Sailor Jupiter initially used when she first gained the ability to transform using Jupiter Star Power. The attack was used to destroy Darumah, one of the Daimons. Previously, it was completely ineffective against a Daimon named Ironder, shown in a flashback at the beginning of the episode.
Against the Dark Moon Circus, at one point Sailor Jupiter's transformation was upgraded by Pegasus, and her attack was upgraded to Superior Sparkling Thunder. She was the fourth of the Sailor Scouts to be targeted by the Amazon Trio. Tiger's Eye looked into her dream mirror, but didn't find Pegasus. Episode 27, against Selesele, Sailor Jupiter used another new attack, Jupiter Oak Evolution, to destroy one of Selesele's man-eating plants. She always appeared to be fighting Junjun.
Princess Jupiter[]
1,000 years ago, Lita was the Princess of Jupiter. A subject of the Moon Kingdom. Lita was also the protector of the Moon Kingdom's princess, Serena and a warrior of Jupiter.[4]
During the Solar Millennium, Lita was considered a champion ice skater after Princess Serena.[5]
Alongside the other Princesses, Amy, Raye, and Mina, Lita fought in defense of the Moon Kingdom when Queen Beryl and the Negaverse invaded.[6]
Despite her efforts, Lita and the other Princesses were overwhelmed by the Negaverse and killed.[4] In a last ditch effort to save her daughter and subjects, Queen Serenity used the Imperium Silver Crystal to seal the Negaverse away. Lita and other members of Queen Serenity's court were sent to Earth where they would be reborn.[6][4][7]
