Suzuran ()

History:  Suzuran was one of a trio of plantlike Youmas at Zoisite's command, who, together with the latter, observed from a distance as Nephrite pretended to admit to Naru Osaka that he had had a change of heart and asked her if she knew Sailor Moon's whereabouts so that he could fight alongside of her , though this was really just an attempt by him to discover the Sailor Soldier's true identity. Taking his confession at face value, Suzuran and her compatriots, Grape and Housenka, were willing to eliminate Nephrite immediately, but were instead instructed by Zoisite to take Naru hostage in exchange for the Black Crystal, this being the safer course of action and one which gave them the advantage of confronting him on their own turf and under their own terms. 
                Abducting the young girl and taking her to an abandoned bar - Rag Time - Suzuran and the others waited for Nephrite's arrival, intent on killing Naru if he did not appear. Much to their surprise, he did show, whereupon the three of them attacked him in turn. Suzuran's vertigo-indicing powers, however, proved to be no match for Nephrite physical prowess and stamina, and he flattened her with a powerful blow to the stomach, dealing with her Youma partners equally quickly and effectively before taking off with their erstwhile hostage. 
                Unfortunately for Nephrite, however, Grape managed to track him and Naru down, and, in a surprise attack, succeeded in impaling the Dark General through the upper right chest and shoulder with the energy-draining thorns from her left arm, threatening to kill his female companion if he did not surrender the Black Crystal to them. Though he agreed to the terms provided, Suzuran and Grape's compatriot Housenka attacked Nephrite and Naru anyway after the young girl refused to abandon the man she loved. Managing to fatally wound the Dark General with her attack, Housenka and her cohorts might have ended up killing Naru as well if not for the intervention of the Sailor Soldiers. After a short battle, Suzuran, Grape and Housenka were destroyed through a combination of Sailor Moon "Moon Tiara Action" and Sailor Mars' "Fire Soul" attacks.
