History: Tesunii has the distinction of being the first female Youma recruited by Nephrite to help him gather energy from human beings in order to revive Queen Metallia. To this end, he planted her inside of a tennis racket belonging to a young tennis player - Rui Saionji - by marking it with his evil crest, thereby hastening the girl's approach towards her maximum energy potential.  
                Once Rui Saionji had reached her productive peak, Tesunii emerged from her hiding place inside of her racket and drained her of her energy. She then proceeded to battle Sailor Moon, imprison her within a giant tennis ball and bouncing her around the tennis court they were in, though this rather unique attack quickly ceased after Tuxedo Mask disrupted the Youma's concentration. While attacking both him and the Sailor Soldier with fireballs, Tesunii was struck in the face with one of Tuxedo Mask's roses and distracted long enough for Sailor Moon to destroy her with her "Moon Tiara Action".

Abilities: Aside from being able to emerge from the object inside of which she had been planted and draining human beings of their energy, Tesunii possessed the ability to control the movements of the giant tennis balls within which she could imprison her opponents. She could cause them to rise high up into the air and bounce around in any manner she chose, inflicting physical damage on her opponent as the exposed parts of their bodies - their arms, legs, and head - were painfully smashed against the ground as they landed. Tesunii's control over the tennis balls would cease if she was distracted, and the ball would vanish altogether if her concentration was completely disrupted, as she was when Tuxedo Mask struck her hard in the chest with his extending cane.
Paraphernalia: Tesunii possessed a tennis racket made of fire that could emit spherical bursts of white energy which, upon striking her opponent, would imprison them within giant tennis balls that were under her complete and utter control. As one might expect, her flaming racket could also release a massive volley of fireballs of various sizes.
