History: Little has been revealed about the background of the cheerful and friendly young actress named Alice Itsuki, save for the fact that she plays the female lead on the television series "The Z-Files Of A Detective Boy Holmes", an immensely popular and high rated drama series in Japan. During a break in the filming of an episode of the show in Juuben Park - one guest-starring the idol group know as the Three Lights - Alice, upon exiting her trailer after having checked her makeup, was confronted by the television producer Chuuko Nezu. Initially mistaking the latter for a fan, the young actress soon discovered that was actually the Sailor Anima-Mate known as Sailor Iron Mouse, who - believing Alice's inherant brightness and ability to make so many people happy to be the sign of a true star - attacked her and extracted her Star Seed, believing it to be one of the ones she was looking for. This proved to an incorrect assumption on her part, for the light of the Star Seed quickly diminished and finally burnt out completely, a phenomenon which resulted in Alice Itsuki's transformation into the Phage known as Sailor Buri. 
                 In her monstrous new form, Sailor Buri proceeded to attack the newly arrived Eternal Sailor Moon following Sailor Iron Mouse's departure, though her adversary was hesitant to fight back for fear of harming Alice Itsuki, a feeling not shared by Sailor Star Fighter, who seriously injured the Phage with her "Star Serious Laser", intending to kill the creature and put her out of her misery as she and the other Sailor Star Lights knew of no way to restore the monster's humanity. In the end, Sailor Moon's unwillingness to believe that this was true saved Sailor Buri, whose human form was restored by the power of the former's "Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss". Following this strange series of events of which she apparently retains no memory, Alice Itsuki's life has presumably returned to a state of normalcy.

If it's not the monster that smells like fish, it's the concept behind the monster...
