Biography[]

Sailor Moon R[]

Negamoon Arc[]

Shortly after passing through the Door of Time and Space, Rini lands in the 20th Century, interrupting Serena Tsukino and Darien Shields' date.[7]

She brainwashed Serena's family into thinking she was her cousin. However, the intervention of Luna prevents Serena from falling under the influence of Rini's magic and she is the only one among the Tsukino's who are aware of Rini's nature. When Darien begins to experience nightmares of Serena's demise in the event of their marriage, Rini capitalizes on Darien and Serena's break up and spends most of her time with him. The break up and Rini's presence causes friction between Darien and Serena's shaky friendship. Meanwhile, Rubeus and the Negamoon Sisters attempt to capture Rini whenever the opportunity presents itself. Rini tries several times to return home using the Crystal Key, exposing herself and her dormant power from the Moon to Wiseman's group. Serena and the other Sailor Scouts protected Rini from the Negamoon sisters, Serena and Rini grow to learn to appreciate each other more as time progresses.

In Episode 27, Rubeus Strikes Out, Rubeus captured the other Sailor Scouts and told Sailor Moon to hand over Rini. In the previous episode, Rini discovered that Serena and her friends were the Sailor Scouts and had possession of the Imperium Silver Crystal. When Rubeus captured the other Sailor Scouts, Rini and Serena reluctantly worked together to save them from Rubeus after Rini stole Serena's broach. As Sailor Moon was in a beam struggle with Rubeus, Rini destroyed the crystal that was his source of power, causing Rubeus to be hit by Sailor Moon's Moon Scepter Elimination. Using Sailor Teleport, Serena and the others manage to get Rini off the ship as it exploded, killing Rubeus. After fighting off several of Emerald's Negamoon monsters, the Sailor Scouts, Tuxedo Mask, Luna, and Artemis traveled into the future with Rini. In Episode 37, Jealousy's Just Reward, it is revealed that Rini took the Imperium Silver Crystal of the future, which then vanished. Sailor Moon tried to awaken Neo Queen Serenity with the Silver Crystal of the past, but it did not work, so Rini ran off, where she encountered Wiseman, who convinced her that Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask, and the other Sailor Scouts did not love her, and transformed her into Wicked Lady .

Becoming Wicked Lady[]

see Wicked Lady

Rini ran away, distraught that Sailor Moon was unable to save her mother liked she promised.[8] On her own, she encountered Wiseman. He managed to convince her Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask, and Sailor Scouts did not love her. Initially, Rini refused to believe Wiseman. However, Wiseman used manipulated versions of her memories when her family and friends refused to coddle her and stoked her anger and feelings of abandonment. Her anger and the power of the Dark Crystal transformed her into "Wicked Lady".[9]

Wiseman, realizing that Wicked Lady carried Neo-Queen Serenity's Silver Crystal within her, his intent was to use Wicked Lady to open the dark gate and send dark energy through her to destroy the world, even though she would be destroyed in the process. When he presented her to Prince Diamond, his brother Sapphire suspected Wiseman's plans with Wicked Lady in the wake of the death of Emerald were untrustworthy. Wicked Lady and the Negamoon family return to the 20th Century.

She is later sent out against Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts (who returned from the 30th Century with the help of Sailor Pluto). None of them recognize who Wicked Lady is until the Luna Ball approaches her. Wicked Lady recognizes the Luna Ball as the only thing in her life that she could depend on. Luna Ball's allignment shifted from the Moon Kingdom to the Negamoon Family which allowed Wicked Lady to use her childhood companion against them.

Sailor Moon attempted to use Moon Healing Activation on Wicked Lady to turn her away from Wiseman's brainwashing, but Wiseman prevents her from doing so, reasserting a stronger hold over Rini's mind. Wicked Lady and Wiseman return to the Dark Crystal with the Luna Sphere. Later, when Sapphire learns that Wiseman intended to kill his brother, Wiseman attacks him. He is only able to wound him before he escapes and finds safe haven among the reformed Negamoon Sisters.

When Sapphire tries to return to the Dark Crystal to warn Diamond, he is attacked by Wicked Lady. The Sailor Scouts manage to prevent Wicked Lady from killing him, but she traps them inside electrified domes of negative energy. Tuxedo Mask arrives and frees them from her traps and tries to reason with Prince Diamond about Wiseman's intentions. Wiseman kills Sapphire before the truth can be revealed and Wicked Lady disappears with Wiseman when the Dark Crystal's reactor chip is recovered from Sapphire's body.

When the Sailor Scouts and Tuxedo Mask enter the Dark Crystal, Wiseman attempts to use illusions of Tuxedo Mask together with Wicked Lady as a way of instilling feelings of betrayal inside of her, but she fights his suggestion off. When Sailor Moon and the others reach the Dark Gate, Wicked Lady is waiting for them at the top of the Dark Crystal. Wiseman intends to use Wicked Lady's body as a way of channeling dark energy through the gate to destroy Earth. Sailor Moon tries several times to pull Rini out from the influence, but it never appears to work until she uses her Silver Crystal to transform into Princess Serenity. They were, through strict parenting, trying to teach her how to be a more well-behaved princess and future queen. Thanks to their efforts at showing Rini that Wiseman had filled her with false truths and they still loved her very much, The Wicked Lady persona is destroyed and Rini is restored to her true self. Wiseman, furious at losing his pawn in the young future princess, attacked them, and entered a power struggle with Neo-Queen Serenity.

When Serena was about to lose, the Imperium Silver Crystal of the future appeared, having gone into Rini's body when it disappeared for protection, so she used it to transform into Princess Rini. Together, both Silver Crystals were powerful enough to decimate the Dark Crystal, as Serena and Rini destroyed Wiseman with an energy explosion. Afterward, Rini returned to the future, which, with Wiseman's death, was restored to normal, and reunited with her family.

Sailor Moon S[]

When Eugeal began extracting people's Pure Hearts, Rini returned, now with the ability to transform into Sailor Mini Moon using the Prism Heart Compact and saying "Moon Prism Power". She attacked by using the Pink Moon Stick to use Pink Sugar Heart Attack, which sometimes had a delayed reaction, and did not do much damage, but was often a good enough distraction for Sailor Moon to destroy the Daimon.

Rini became friends with Doctor Tomoe's lovely daughter, Hotaru Tomoe. She and Sailor Moon were determined to save her from Mistress 9 when they found out she was possessed by her, and tried to stop Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune from killing her. While the Sailor Scouts were fighting Cyprin and Petirol, Kaorinite captured Rini and took her to feed her Pure Heart to Mistress 9, allowing her to awaken. It was eventually returned to her by Hotaru after she destroyed Mistress 9 and turned into Sailor Saturn.

Following the defeat of Pharaoh 90, Rini returned to the future, but came back to help the Sailor Scouts defeat the final Daimon, Rangy.

Sailor Moon Super S[]

In the first episode, Rini began having dreams about Pegasus. Hebihanabiko, the Remless, entered Rini's dreams through Pegasus in an attempt to convince her to use his power to rule the world, but she refused, and Sailor Moon destroyed Hebihanabiko.

She also gained the ability to transform into a Super Sailor Scout using the Crisis Mini Moon Compact and by saying "Moon Cosmic Dream Action" with Serena. By using the Crystal Chime and saying, "Crystal Twinkle Bell", Super Sailor Mini Moon could summon Pegasus and enable Super Sailor Moon to use her new finishing move, Moon Gorgeous Meditation.

When Super Sailor Mini Moon summoned Pegasus so that Super Sailor Moon could defeat the Amazon Quartet, Queen Nehelenia realized that she was the holder of Pegasus, so Zirconia used Zircon to extract her dream mirror and trapped her inside Nehelenia's mirror. Nehelenia made Pegasus become Helios again and took his Golden Crystal, putting Super Sailor Mini Moon into eternal sleep unlike Queen Beryl's general, Jedite's.

Helios woke Super Sailor Mini Moon up from eternal sleep with the last of his power, and she used the Golden Crystal to talk to everyone on Earth and say "Moon Cosmic Dream Action" to restore the Golden Crystal's power.

Super Sailor Moon and Super Sailor Mini Moon then defeated Nehelenia with a gold energy beam from the crystal, but she survived and kidnapped Super Sailor Mini Moon, throwing her over the edge of the circus tent as it drew closer to the Dark Moon. As Super Sailor Moon jumped off after her, Nehelenia returned to her mirror. Helios turned into Pegasus and turned Serena and Rini into their princess forms with wings to save them from the fall. Afterwards, Rini said goodbye to Helios, with the Amazon Quartet providing a well-timed distraction for Rini and Helios to have a private moment before he returned to Elysion.

Princess Rini[]

Small Lady

Rini was born June 30 during the 30th Century on Earth, to Neo-Queen Serenity and King Darien. Rini lived a relatively untroubled life in the city of Crystal Tokyo, spoiled by both her mother and father.

She played often with the likes of the Sailor Scouts, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Venus and Sailor Mercury. Of the Sailor Scouts she knew, she was closest with Sailor Pluto, the guardian of time itself.

While her family and friends doted on her, they also wanted Rini to be self reliant and were oftentimes strict with her. But because she was spoiled, she often saw their encouragement as their being mean to her. Despite their instances of tough love, Rini still wanted to grow up and become just like her mother, who she considered the most beautiful women in the world.

Attack on Crystal Tokyo[]

Rini was convinced that her family and friends forgot about her birthday.[10] Intrigued by her mother's Imperium Silver Crystal, she entered the room where it was being kept and removed it from its pedestal. The Silver Crystal appeared to disappear from her hand. Rini panicked, unaware that she had absorbed the Silver Crystal and lowered defenses around Crystal Tokyo. The Negamoon Family, who were banished to Planet Nemesis, took the opportunity to attack the city on the order of Wiseman.

Rini wandered outside during the attack and was almost killed, but her mother jumped into the path of the explosion, protecting her from harm. With the Silver Crystal missing and Neo-Queen Serenity injured, plans were made to get Rini away from danger. Her mother was placed in a state of suspended animation inside a crystal quartz coffin for protection by the Sailor Scouts.

Rini was later taken to see Sailor Pluto, who guarded the Door of Time and Space. Sailor Pluto told Rini to remain in the 20th century until a way to save her mother was found, and the threat to Crystal Tokyo was elimated. Accompanied by her Luna Ball, Rini was sent through the Door of Time and Space to 20th Century Tokyo.

Aftermath[]

When Rini returned to the future with the past selves of Serenity, Darien and the Sailor Scouts, she was able to save her mother and her home. With the help of Sailor Moon, Rini was able to destroy Wiseman, the orchestrator of the attack on Crystal Tokyo. Rini remained in the future and reunited with her mother, who expressed pride in her daughter's bravery. However, wanting her daughter to be trained as a Sailor Scout, Serenity sends Rini back to the 20th century to live with her past self.
