Biography[]
Silver Millennium[]
Sailor Moon[]
Zoycite first appeared in Episode 11, once Nephlite took over for Jedite. She wanted to get her chance at gathering energy.
Soon, she heard Nephlite saying that he wanted to betray the Negaverse, so she sent three monsters named Housenka, Grape, and Suzuran to kidnap Molly and kill Nephlite. They succeeded in killing him, but were then destroyed by Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars.
Afterward, Queen Beryl began seeking out the seven Rainbow Crystals. She would track down one of the crystal carriers, and extract the crystal. She would then turn them into a monster, awakening one of the Seven Shadows within them. However, they were all healed by Sailor Moon. In addition, Zoycite only got four of the crystals; Tuxedo Mask got two and the Sailor Scouts got one.
Afterward, she transformed a wrestler into a monster named Akan. Though Sailor Moon healed him, she forced her to hand over her crystal.
Zoycite later impersonated Sailor Moon so Tuxedo Mask would come to rescue her. She then stabbed him, but before she could take his crystals, she was attacked by Sailor Venus.
Zoycite challenged Tuxedo Mask (whom she knew was Darien) to a battle at the tower over the crystals. Serena was teleported to the tower with Darien. Zoycite double crossed Darien, as Malachite took all the crystals. Darien scratched her face. She attempted to kill him in revenge, even though she was under orders from Queen Beryl to take him alive so he could be turned evil. She figured Beryl wouldn't mind Darien's death if she had all seven crystals, and would tell her it was an accident, however, she was unable to kill him, as Serena transformed into Sailor Moon to protect them from the fire in the elevator. Zoycite stabbed him with an ice crystal, nearly killing him.
The seven rainbow crystals combined into the Imperium Silver Crystal, and Sailor Moon transformed into Princess Serena, who defeated Zoycite with Cosmic Moon Power. As punishment for her disobedience, Beryl killed Zoycite with an energy wave from her crystal ball.
Powers and Abilities[]
Zoycite can use an attack she triggers when she shouts "Zoy!". It can knock her enemies backwards. She can also shoot fire, or create an ice crystal to stab her enemies.
Trivia[]
- In the original Japanese adaptation of Sailor Moon, Zoycite (spelled Zoisite ゾイサイト) was male and in love with Malachite. In the English adaptation of the series, the gender was changed to female on account of feelings and attitudes towards homosexuality and Zoycite's feminine features.
- Zoicite remains male for the Viz dub of Sailor Moon and most international dub treatments for the series.
- In the episode "A Friend in Wolf's Clothing" Nephlite's blood is green. But when Lita punches Zoycite, the mark on her face indicates her blood may be red.
- On YTV's website during Sailor Moon's syndication, her name was spelled "Zoysite" in the Characters section[1], however they also used the "Zoycite" spelling in the Episode section.
