Mikuuji ()

History: Mikuuji has the distinction of being the first known Daimon to have been created through the fusion process of a Daimon Egg with a terrestrial object - specifically with a tree at the Hikawa Shrine - and was ordered by Kaolinite to extract Rei Hino's Heart Crystal because of the pure heart she displayed in being thoughtful and concerned about the welfare of her friends. Suddenly coming to life just as her victim had finished tying a fortune paper to the branch of the very tree from which she had been created, Mikuuji chased Rei as she fled across the shrine grounds, pinned her to a wooden fence, and attempted to extract her Heart Crystal, but was interrupted by Sailor Moon before she could complete her assigned task. Unimpressed by her adversary, the Daimon grabbed the Sailor Soldier with her ponytail, swung her around, and slammed her into a nearby stone wall and dealt with Ami Mizuno, Makoto Kino and Minako Aino with similar ease when they arrived on the scene for what was originally supposed to have been a group study session.
                 Rhetorically asking a still dazed Sailor Moon how she would enjoy being finished off, Mikuuji suffered yet another setback after being struck in the head by one of Tuxedo Mask's roses, buying the Sailor Soldier enough time to perform her "Moon Princess Halation" in an attempt to destroy the monster. The Daimon, however, proved to be far powerful than anticipated and not only managed to effortlessly counter the mystical attack with one of her own but also knocked the Cutie Moon Rod right out of her opponent's hand in the process. Taking advantage of Sailor Moon's surprise at being so easily bested, Mikuuji flew towards her opponent, slammed her into a nearby tree, and, after having pinned her wrists and ankles to it, so extensively damaged the Crystal Star by biting into it that the transformation brooch was rendered completely inactive, thereby reversing the magical change its power had evoked and causing Sailor Moon to revert back into Usagi Tsukino.
                 After eliminating the potential threat posed by Tuxedo Mask, Luna, and Artemis, Mikuuji, having rid herself of all forms of distraction and interference, was free to focus her full attention on her original objective, and, despite Usagi's desperated pleas to the contrary, successful completed her assigned task of stealing Rei's pure heart. Certain that she now held a Heart Crystal containing a Talisman in her hands, the Daimon's elation was short-lived, for Mikuuji ended up being destroyed a few seconds later after being struck by both Sailor Uranus' "World Shaking" and Sailor Neptune's "Deep Submerge" in short succession.

Abilities: Aside from the ability to float in mid-air and fly over the ground at incredible speeds, Mikuuji possessed a star-shaped mark in the middle of her chest capable of emitting a beam of black energy that would cause a human being's Heart Crystal to emerge from his or her body after being focused on that person's upper torso for a certain period of time. She could cause various parts of her anatomy - most notably her face, hands, and feet - to petrify and form a hard, stonelike substance which, once having undergone this conversion process, would detach themselves from her body, causing the now missing segments to regenerate almost immediately. This ability had several strategic applications and could, for example, be used to incapacitate individuals by pinning their wrists and ankles to trees or walls or to apply a great amount of pressure to inaminate objects, such as when she bit down on Sailor Moon's Crystal Star and damaged it so badly that it lost all its power and ceased to function. Mikuuji could also emit a continuous stream of fortune paper sheets from the palm of her right hand - powerful enough to counter even Sailor Moon's "Moon Princess Halation" - and also possessed a large prehensile ponytail resembling a shinto shrine bell rope that could used to grab and hurl solid objects or even people and which could apparently be swung with enough force to knock over and send a full-grown housecat flying several yards.
Paraphernalia: Aside from the fortune paper sheets she used as projectile weapons, Mikuuji also wore a black cylindrical backpack that could fire out fortune-telling sticks that would split open once they were airborne to form a bell-shaped structure with wooden projections capable of incapacitating her adversaries by either pinning their arms to their sides, thereby restricting their movement, or by pinning her opponents themselves to solid objects such as trees or walls.
