Fans of the 90s anime Sailor Moon were first introduced to Mistress 9, a Daimon from a Tau Nebula, and may remember her as a cruel antagonist who some fans either loved or hated.

Although her design may look different from the original than Sailor Moon Crystal, her goal remains the same in both iterations—that is, to serve Pharoah 90 and open a gateway for her master's use. She is also aligned with the Death Busters and acts as one of the series' fan-favorite antagonist in Sailor Moon S. Here are ten things fans may not know about Mistress 9.

10 She Is Quite Manipulative

As an antagonist, it wouldn't be fair for her to be less of a villain than the other female ones in Sailor Moon, such as Queen Beryl. Although Queen Beryl was quite the trickster herself, Mistress 9 depended on manipulating Usagi to achieve her goals.

In the 90s anime scene that created the #sailormoonredraw fan art phenomenon, A Bright Shooting Star! Saturn, and the Messiah, Mistress 9 tricks Usagi into giving her the Cosmic Heart Compact by acting as if she was in pain.

9 She Spawned From Pharoah 90

Although Mistress 9 does all the dirty work as she is it's most powerful servant, Pharoah 90 is the main antagonist of Sailor Moon S as well as the leader of the Death Busters, an evil organization in Sailor Moon.

Pharoah 90 wished to destroy planets as well as make a second home of its homeland, Tau Nebula. Although it was later on revealed to be one incarnation of Chaos—the final villain Usagi must battle—the fact that Mistress 9 originated from it makes it clear how much of a threat she is.

8 She Was Implanted Into Hotaru

Hotaru has a tragic fate in the Sailor Moon franchise, and Mistress 9 is a large part of it. Mistress 9 was implanted inside of Hotaru after her father, Professor Tomeo, receive a Daimon egg and became Pharoah 90's minions.

After this, Hotaru became weak and frequently had to suffer through seizures and horrid headaches as Mistress 9 was continuously growing inside her body. Making matters worse, despite her father being a minion of Pharoah 90, he did have a lifelong dream of creating a superior lifeform, even if he used his daughter to achieve this twisted goal.

7 She Uses Her Hair Like A Weapon

Mistress 9 has beautiful, long black hair—but it's used for more than just looking nice. Her hair cascades all the way past her feet, and she utilizes it as a weapon against the Sailor Guardians to her advantage. Besides summoning thorny vines and black roses, she can also fight with her hair.

She uses her hair to strangle her enemies, as well as entangle them to keep them from escaping. She also uses it to rip the souls of humans to feed on and consume.

6 She Is Known As The Sovereign of Silence

As well as being known as the Sovereign of Silence, Mistress 9 goes by a few other names in Sailor Moon. She is also known as the Dark Messiah and the Messiah of Silence, as she holds power above all besides Pharoah 90.

She was named many things before she awakened because no one knew her true name until she did. Until she declared herself as Mistress 9, the Sailor Guardians all referred to her mostly as the Sovereign of Silence.

5 She Takes Control Of Hotaru's Body

Although the way in which Mistress 9 controls Hotaru's body varies depending on if its Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon Crystal, the fact doesn't change that she takes control of Hotaru's body in each adaption.

After doing so, she ages her so that she appears like a 30-year0 old woman which bears a strong resemblance to her late mother, Keiko.

4 She Had A Tough Time Controlling Her At First

Hotaru is not a weak child or person by any means, as she has gone through various troubles on top of being Sailor Saturn. Despite Mistress 9 being implanted in Hotaru when she was small, Mistress 9 was unable to fully take control of her body in the beginning.

She slept deep inside of Hotaru but nonetheless was unable to fully take control of her body despite her having seizures and headaches.

3 She Looks Similar To Keiko, Hotaru's Late Mother

Sailor Moon Crystal

Keiko Tomoe is Hotaru's late mother. Hotaru and Keiko looked strikingly similar, from her dark purple hair and violet eyes. However, when Hotaru was 6-years-old, she was killed in a fire that occurred in her father's laboratory which also injured Hoaru to the point where she would have died if it wouldn't have been for the Taioron Crystal Keiko had in her possession.

If Keiko was still alive, Mistress 9 would be the closest lookalike to Hotaur's mother, as she takes on the appearance of a 30-year-old woman.

2 90s VS Sailor Moon Crystal

There are a few differences between how Mistress 9 is explained in the original Sailor Moon anime and the reboot, Sailor Moon Crystal. In the original, Mistress 9 entered Hotaru and took control over her body by consuming pure hearts.

After consuming Chibiusa's pure heart crystal, she awakened and deceived Sailor Moon into giving her the Holy Grail. In Sailor Moon Crystal, it followed the manga's example and had her be implanted inside Hotaru by her father, Professor Tomoe, as a vessel.

1 She Never Had A Daimon Form In The 90s

Mistress 9

Mistress 9 never truly appeared in her Daimon form. As a Human-Daimon hybrid, she should look like the grotesque, or at least on-human looking, Daimon like the other characters.

However, she only appeared in human form, without any Daimon attributes. In Sailor Moon Crystal, however, Mistress 9 appeared with black crystals sporting from her back, pointy ears, and red glowing eyes, akin to what Pharoah 90 looked like in Sailor Moon Crystal.
