History: Karakuriko-chan was one of Tiger's Eye's
female Lemures, whom he summoned forth from his shadow to battle Sailor
Moon and Sailor Chibi Moon after he extracted Unazuki Furuhata's Dream
Mirror. Splitting up into her individual components in order to attack
both her adversaries at once, Karakuriko-chan quickly incapacitated the
Sailor Soldiers and might very well have ended up stabbing Sailor Moon
to death had it not been for the timely intervention of Tuxedo Mask.
Upon discovering that Pegasus was not hiding in Unazuki's beautiful dreams,
Tiger's Eye ordered the Lemure to eliminate both their opponents as well
as his human target, though she was prevented from doing so immediately
due to the appearance of the magical winged unicorn, who powered up the
Sailor Soldiers with his aura, transforming them into Super Sailor Moon
and Super Sailor Chibi Moon, respectively. During her subsequent attempt
to carry out Tiger's Eye's commands, Karakuriko-chan ended up being destroyed
by Super Sailor Moon's "Moon Gorgeous Meditation".
Height: Unknown
Weight: Unknown
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Blue
Skin: Light gray
Abilities: Aside from being able to
emerge from Tiger's Eye's shadow in a black, whirlwind -like funnel when
summoned, Karakuriko-chan - as her modular, doll-like appearance suggests
- possessed limbs with an inhuman degree of rotation which were capable
of separating from her torso and functioning independantly of one another,
a unique trait which allowed her to divide her attention between several
opponents simultaneously. For example, after separating into her individual
components, she used her legs to trip Sailor Moon and then proceeded to
restrain her with her hands while sending her lower torso and extremities
to attack Sailor Chibi Moon. In addition, Karakuriko-chan possessed razor-sharp
claws which she could use as scratching or slashing weapons, as well as
a long, extendable, swordlike blade which she could project from her mouth
in order to stab at her adversaries.

Bride-of-Chucky-esque mechanical doll nightmare: Karakuriko-chan
"Man, was it ever tight in that box they packaged me in!"
:)
"Uh...when you said you'd give me a lift, this wasn't what I had
in mind..." :)
Geez...I've heard of people having a sharp tongue, but this is ridiculous...
^^;
"No, please! Not the display case! I'm claustrophobic!" :)
