Housenka ()

History:  Housenka was one of a trio of plantlike Youmas at Zoisite's command, who, together with the latter, observed from a distance as Nephrite pretended to admit to Naru Osaka that he had had a change of heart and asked her if she knew Sailor Moon's whereabouts so that he could fight alongside of her , though this was really just an attempt by him to discover the Sailor Soldier's true identity. Taking his confession at face value, Housenka and her compatriots, Grape and Suzuran, were willing to eliminate Nephrite immediately, but were instead instructed by Zoisite to take Naru hostage in exchange for the Black Crystal, this being the safer course of action and one which gave them the advantage of confronting him on their own turf and under their own terms.    
                Abducting the young girl right out of her own bedroom, Housenka left a note behind for Nephrite stating Zoisite's demands and then proceeded to rejoin Grape and Suzuran at an abandoned bar - Rag Time - in order to wait for the Dark General's arrival, with the intention of killing Naru if he did not appear. Much to their surprise, he did show, whereupon the three of them attacked him in turn. Missing with her first barrage of projectiles, Housenka attacked Nephrite a second time while he was still reeling from Suzuran's vertigo-inducing powers, though she once again failed to connect with her second wave. Proving to be no match for Nephrite physical prowess and stamina, he flattened her with a powerful blow to the stomach, dealing with her Youma partners equally quickly and effectively before taking off with their would-be hostage.    
                Unfortunately for Nephrite, however, Grape managed to track him and Naru down, and, in a surprise attack, succeeded in impaling the Dark General through the upper right chest and shoulder with the energy-draining thorns from her left arm, threatening to kill his female companion if he did not surrender the Black Crystal to them. Though he agreed Grape's terms, Housenka attacked Nephrite and Naru anyway after the young girl refused to abandon the man she loved, trying to help him by pulling out the thorns and nearly succeeding in the process. Managing to fatally wound the Dark General with her attack, Housenka and her cohorts might have ended up killing Naru as well if not for the intervention of the Sailor Soldiers. After a short battle, Housenka, Grape and Suzuran were destroyed through a combination of Sailor Moon "Moon Tiara Action" and Sailor Mars' "Fire Soul" attacks.

Abilities:  Aside from teleportation, Housenka possessed the ability to fly, both under her own power as well as by generating a bubble around herself (and possibly another person as well in order to be able to take that individual with her). Housenka's most devastating power by far, however, was her ability to generate and launch a barrage of volatile red spheres at her opponents simply by thrusting out her open hands. Possessed of immense destructive potential and generating enormously powerful explosions upon making contact with their intended target, these spheres could apparently be "defused" by exposing them to extremely cold tempertures, such as those generated by Sailor Mercury's "Shabon Spray".
