History: The DD Girls were a group of five winged, insectlike female Youmas who responded to Queen Beryl's summons by freely volunteering to fight the Sailor Soldiers when they attempted to attack the Dark Kingdom in order to prevent Queen Metallia's impending and imminent resurrection. Using their illusion-casting powers, the DD Girls twice tricked Sailor Moon into believing that they were Tuxedo Mask so that she would come in close enough for them to kill her, attempts which only failed due to the levelheadedness and sensibility of the other Sailor Soldiers.
                 Quickly growing tired of and angry at their tricks, Sailor Jupiter attempted to attack them with her "Supreme Thunder", but was made to hesitate for an instant after the five Youmas assumed Motoki Furuhata's likeness, giving them the time they needed to capture her their tentacular arms and attempt to electrocute her. However, Jupiter fought back by successfully invoking her "Supreme Thunder", rsulting in an overload and generating an electrical discharge so huge that the Purple and Red DD Girls were instantly vaporized in the tremendous explosion which ensued, though the Sailor Soldier herself also died a short time later from the massive injuries she had sustained.
                 Upon regrouping, the three remaining monsters proceeded to attack Sailor Mercury after she attempted to distract them since her powers were of a more defensive nature than those of the other Sailor Soldiers. Refusing to be fooled by their conjured images of Ryo Urawa, Mercury was captured once she upon penetrating their fiery lava illusion in her attempt to confront them directly. Even so, she managed to destroy the source of their illusion-casting powers - the stone set in the tiara of the Blue DD Girl - before being electrocuted to death.
                 The three Youmas next attempted to eliminate Sailor Moon but instead ended up capturing Sailor Venus when she attempted to protect her fellow Sailor Soldiers. Intent on killing their victim despite the former's willingness to give them the Illusion Silver Crystal if they would only spare her friends, the remaining monsters merely ended up losing yet another one of their number after Venus fired her "Crescent Beam" at the Pink DD Girl's head at point blank range, blowing it off and vaporizing the monster's body though she herself was also killed in the ensuing blast.
                 Following Sailor Venus' death, the two remaining DD Girls went after Sailor Mars together, trapping her within a prison of ice together with them while she tried to defend Sailor Moon. Left in a dazed, disoriented and traumatized state as a result of having watched her friends die one by one in front of her very eyes, Sailor Moon was herself nearly killed by the Green DD Girl, but the latter was utterly incinerated by Sailor Mars' "Fire Soul" before she could harm her.
                 Believing that she had slain her opponent, the Blue DD Girl - the last surviving member of the quintet - raised Sailor Mars' apparently lifeless body up from the ice for Sailor Moon to see before setting her sights on finishing off her last remaining adversary. She might well have succeeded had Sailor Mars - barely alive and a fighter to the bitter end - grabbed one of the monster's tentacles that happened to be within reach and, with the last her strength, unleashed a "Fire Soul" which travelled up the Youma's arm and utterly consumed her entire being before finally blowing her to pieces.

Abilities: Aside from each possessing a pair of insectlike wings which enabled them to fly, all five DD Girls could cause their arms to change shape to form a mass of green tentacles which they could cause to grow at incredible speeds and use like battering rams or to tie up and bind their opponents. Capable of piercing human flesh, these tentacles could also generate electricity and be used to give painful shocks to their unfortunate victims.   
Paraphernalia: The Blue DD Girl possessed a tiara with a stone set in it whose powers she and any of the other four could draw on in order to generate lifelike illusions realistic enough to fool at least three of the five senses: sight, sound, and touch. The monsters lost this shared power when Sailor Mercury shattered the stone by smashing it with her computer.
