Sailor Iron Mouse () [Chuuko Nezu ()]

History: Virtually nothing has been revealed about either the life or the origins of the woman known as Sailor Iron Mouse. She is believed to have been the Sailor Soldier of an unspecified planet in the Milky Way Galaxy, who - either under duress or of her own free will - betrayed all the morals and values she represented by willingly allowing Sailor Galaxia to extract her Star Seed, after which she was provided with a pair of special bracelets in order to maintain her physical existence following its removal, though much of this is speculation. What is known with absolute certainty is that Sailor Iron Mouse became part of Sailor Galaxia's army of rogue Sailor Soldiers - collectively known as the Sailor Anima Mates - who aided her in her malevolent campaign to collect every last Star Seed from all the stars and planets throught the entire galaxy so that it could be reshaped in her own image.
                 It is unknown how long the cute and normally easygoing Sailor Iron Mouse served as a member of the Sailor Anima Mates, only that she was eventually dispatched to one of the so-called "frontier planets" - specifically Earth - and given the assignment of tracking down all the owners of true Star Seeds who resided there so that Sailor Galaxia might come closer to completing her macabre collection. To this end, she assumed the human identity of Chuuko Nezu - a television producer from the Galaxy TV studio based in the city of Tokyo, Japan - in order to use her press credentials to gain easy access to her victims, whom she selected at random after consulting a variety of media sources. Her first known target was a young actress by the name of Alice Itsuki, the female lead in the popular Japanese television series "The Z-Files Of A Detective Boy Holmes". After observing her in secret from a treetop as she was filming an episode guest-starring the Three Lights in Juuban Park, Sailor Iron Mouse, as Chuuko Nezu, confronted the young actress as she was emerging from her trailer following a short break in filming, initially complimenting her on the ability of her brightness to make others cheerful, a quality she considered to be that of a true star. While thanked by Alice for her kind words yet gently turned down by the latter for what she believed to be a rather obfuscated request for an autograph, Nezu told her with surprisingly direct honesty that what she wanted  was not a signiature but instead her Star Seed, which, after revealing her true self as Sailor Iron Mouse, she promptly extracted from the frightened young woman, believing it to be one of the true ones she had been searching for. Her optimism quickly turned to disappointment, however, for the light of the Star Seed quickly diminished and finally burnt out completely, thereby proving her initial assumption as being incorrect. Shortly thereafter, she was confronted by Eternal Sailor Moon, and, after insulting her would-be adversary, introducing herself as a Sailor Soldier, and giving her a quick briefing on the nature of Phages - which Alice Itsuki was now in the process of transforming into due to the light of her Star Seed being extinguished - simply stepped into her telephone booth and departed, leaving the newly-created monster, Sailor Buri, to deal with her opponent, though the creature ended up having her human form restored by Sailor Moon's "Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss" following a brief battle with her and the Sailor Star Lights.      
                 Her modus operandi now more or less firmly established, Sailor Iron Mouse was hard at work the very next day sifting through a variety of sports footage for potential Star Seed candidates in her office in Production Room Three, having just decided to go after Yuji Kayama, the ruggedly muscular - not to mention quite sexually appealing to her ;) - captain of the Juuban High School football team, when she received a call from Sailor Galaxia, whom she proceeded to update on her progress with much confidence, optimism, and reassurance on her part. She then moved on her selected target - mortally embarassing him with her compliments and heavy flirting before extracting his Star Seed - but once again departed and left the Phage Sailor Guts to deal with the Inner Soldiers and the Sailor Star Lights in her absence once her failure became apparent, though this victim, too, was eventually restored to normal by Sailor Moon. The results were similar during her next two tries in which she went after camerawoman Saki Itabashi and musical director Akane Gushiken - who were temporarily transformed into the Phages Sailor Gekishaa and Sailor Director, respectively, due to her actions - with the only minor distractions present being a brief spar with Super Sailor Venus in the former instance and dealing with the unexpected presence of Three Lights member Kou Seiya, who was an eyewitness to the latter encounter.      
                 Following attempts on physics teacher and astronomer Wataru Amanogawa (later Sailor Teacher) - where the target's physical attractiveness to the Sailor Anima Mate once again came into play, though it (almost) left her disappointed - and idol Noriko Okamachi (later Sailor Ojou), during which she suffered the twin indignities of having her best costume torn up by Luna and being struck in the back of the head by a ball of yarn thrown by Eternal Sailor Moon, Sailor Iron Mouse became somewhat despondent and distanced from her job. Unable to "shake the feeling that she was just a cog in a giant machine", as she so eloquently put it, and worried that she might be starting to lose interest in her work, she found her dedication restored after a chance wind - literally - gave her the idea of going after television chef Tetsuro Amanogawa, though her resolve to succeed was strengthened even further by the sudden and unexpected appearances of her fellow Sailor Anima Mates Sailor Aluminum Siren and Sailor Lead Crow before Sailor Galaxia as well as the latter's physical assault on her following a brief progress report in which Sailor Iron Mouse's words suggested a greater amount of uncertainty at having located true Star Seeds than Sailor Galaxia's growing impatience was willing to tolerate. Her bad luck, however, showed little sign of abating, with her mission against Tetsuro Amanogawa being no more successful than his Phage alter ego Sailor Chef's attempt to rid her of her Sailor Soldier adversaries.       
                 After a particularily brutal reprimand from Sailor Galaxia, Sailor Iron Mouse firmly pledged that she would search for a true Star Seed as if her very life depended on it, truer words having never been spoken since her many failures had virtually guaranteed that her existence would be forfeit if her actions did not yield desirable results. The strain to perform took a visible toll on her, for her once cheerfully evil demeanor, arrogance, and self-confidence in selecting viable targets was quickly replaced byo stress, nervousness, and frustrating indecision. When her campaign against orchestra conductor Mr. Garayan (later Sailor Conductor) once again proved fruitless, she literally found herself on the run as Chuuko Nezu, desperately racking her brain to come up with new ideas that would net her a Star Seed by the following Monday morning while trying to escape the ubiquitous presence of Sailor Galaxia's rotary dial telephone, which was magically tracking her wherever she went. After mortal fear caused her to hang up on Sailor Galaxia after she gathered up enough courage to actually take the call, Nezu - in a single blazing moment of revelation as the train she was on passed an electronic billboard - decided to go after the Three Lights, little suspecting just how much merit there really was behind this impromptu choice, as the three band members, unbeknowst to her, were the alter egos of the Sailor Star Lights, and, being Sailor Soldiers themselves, really did possess true Star Seeds.     
                 Following a call to the Three Lights' residence and a rather rude discussion with the ever ornery Kou Yaten, Nezu learned that Kou Seiya - who was on a date with Usagi Tsukino that day - was out even if the other two had no intention of going anywhere and used her information network to systematically eliminate all the places the band members went whenever they had some time off, eventually tracking him to a dance club known as Bar Space Edge. Her hunch confirmed after she spotted Seiya and Usagi entering the establishment, she assumed her true form of Sailor Iron Mouse and cut the power, causing the people present to empty out in a hurry. She then confronted the two of them in the now abandoned club and attempted to extract Seiya's Star Seed after he told Usagi to make a run for it, only to miss for first time in her life due to the nature of her target, who dodged her attack and shocked her by transforming into Sailor Star Fighter before her very eyes. Her frustration and nervousness rising to unheard of levels as the other Sailor Star Lights and Eternal Sailor Moon arrived, Sailor Iron Mouse exploded - yelling at her adversaries that they had no idea of how she felt or the seriousness of the situation she was in - only to have even her emotional rant interrupted as Sailor Moon became concerned after discovering the pink teddy bear pin that Seiya had been wearing, believing that he had been dropped it after being turned into a Phage in her absence.    
                 Laughing hysterically at Sailor Moon's ignorance in regards to Seiya's dual identity, Sailor Iron Mouse mischievously alluded to the truth - narrowly escaping a timely blast from Sailor Star Fighter's "Star Serious Laser" in the process by taking cover in her phone booth - and threatened to reveal his secret unless all of them willingly relinquished their Star Seeds, only to be interrupted once more, this time by the ringing of the ever-present rotary dial telephone. Despite her mortal fear, she nerved herself, picked up the receiver, and found to her horror that not only was Sailor Galaxia on the line but that she was disappointed and grimly informed her that she no longer had any needs of her services. In a display of utter desperation, the Sailor Anima Mate did everything she could possibly think of in order to get Sailor Galaxia to spare her life, even going so far as to propose that she be forgiven if the former should prove unable to solve a riddle she asked (which, incidentally, had no answer anyway), to no avail, for Sailor Iron Mouse was summarily executed after being deprived of her bracelets, barely having had time to cry out before vanishing from existence forever.    

Height: Estimated at 3'11'' (119 cm); never accurately measured       
Weight: Estimated at 63 lbs. (29 kg); never accurately weighed        
Eyes: Gray            
Hair: White           

Abilities: Aside from being quite agile, nimble, and quick, Sailor Iron Mouse could fire a bolt of pink energy from the palm of her right hand with enough force to send at least a small animal - such as a cat like Luna - crashing through a window.      
Paraphernalia: Sailor Iron Mouse's primary weapons were the special pair of golden bracelets known as Galactica Bracelets given to her by Sailor Galaxia herself, which - aside from maintaining both her physical existence following the removal of her Star Seed as well as her evil nature, thus keeping her under Galaxia's control - were capable of firing twin spherical energy projectiles from the green and violet jewels embedded in them that were capable of punching their way through solid matter, or, more commonly, extracting the Star Seeds from any human being they happened to come into contact with. She also possessed a black portable rotary dial telephone which she used to maintain contact with both Sailor Galaxia and her headquarters at Galaxy TV, and which could also be apparently used to track her own movements. Sailor Iron Mouse could also summon a transportation device resembling a telephone booth in order to travel from place to place and which was apparently sturdy enough to survive a direct hit from certain magical attacks - such as Sailor Star Fighter's "Star Serious Laser" - without being damaged.
