History: Jamanen was a female Droid who was originally
summoned by Calaveras to inform Rubeus that she was willing to accept the
assignment of corrupting the Fancy Omazinai House - an occult shop located
on one of the Crystal Points of the future city of Crystal Tokyo - with
Dark Power despite her earlier refusal. Upon learning from Beruche that
the mission had already been passed on to their older sister Petz, an angry
Calaveras took off with the automaton in tow, who then proceeded to aid
them in their task by incapacitating the Fancy Omazinai House's actual
saleswomen so that the two Ayakashi Sisters could take their places. Little
did any of the occult shop's customers suspect that the wish-granting charms
Calaveras and Petz were selling were designed to invoke emotions that would
make their owners oppose the inherant dreams and desires which had originally
cause them to purchase the trinket in the first place, a phenomenon that
would contribute to the corruption of the Crystal Point with Dark Power
in an as yet unexplained fashion.
When Usagi Tsukino, Minako Aino, Makoto Kino, and Chibi Usa's in-store
discussion over the subject of love led the misandristic Petz to advocate
its worthless and arouse the suspicion of her would-be customers in the
process, she and Calaveras were quickly forced to abandon their plans and
reveal their true selves. With Jamanen's help, the Ayakashi Sisters attempted
to eliminate the sole witnesses to their evil plot, but the three of them
ended up being distracted after Minako sprayed them with a fire extinguisher
for Chibi Usa and Usagi to escape, as well as Makoto and her to transform
into Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus, respectively. Following a brief battle
between Calaveras, Petz, and the two Sailor Soldiers, the Droid managed
to take their adversaries by surprise and incapacitate them, an action
which she successfully repeated with both them and Sailor Mercury and Sailor
Mars when the latter two arrived and temporarily freed their captured
teammates. Jamanen might have eliminated the Sailor Soldiers once and for
all had it not been for Sailor Moon, who destroyed the Droid with her "Moon
Princess Halation" when she attempted to attack her.
Height: Variable
Weight: Variable
Eyes: Green
Hair: Pink
Abilities: Jamanen was entirely composed
of a highly malleable reddish pink substance of unknown composition whose
constituency she could manipulate and control for a variety of different
effects. While her standard form was that of a semisolid gelatinous humanoid,
she could revert into a liquid state, a sticky viscous one in which she
could flow like molasses and incapacitate individuals by binding their
extremities with her substance, and was even capable of solidifying certain
parts of her body - most notably her arms - in order to form slashing and
stabbing weapons such as knives. In addition, Jamanen was able to create
small spatial rifts in order to quickly travel from place to place and
possibly even interdimensionally.
Paraphernalia: Before being summoned by Calaveras, Jamanen remained
stored within a wine glass in a dormant liquid state. It remains uncertain
as to whether or not this vessel served as her "home".
