History: Widow was a 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 roll of fabric later purchased by a sewing class teacher - Higure Akiyama - by marking it with his evil crest, thereby hastening the woman's approach towards her maximum energy potential.
                Once Higure Akiyama had reached her productive peak, Widow emerged from her hiding place within the fabric - which, by now, had been made into a wedding dress by the skilled seamstress - and drained the woman of her energy. She then proceeded to battle the Sailor Soldiers, managing to bind and capture Sailor Moon with her webbing in the process, though the latter was quickly freed through the combined efforts of Sailor Mercury and Sailor Mars. During the course of her second attack, Widow was destroyed by Sailor Moon's "Moon Tiara Action".
