Template:InfoboxCharacter
An is one of the two main antagonists of the Makaiju arc of Sailor Moon R.
In her normal alien form, An has dark hot pink eyes, light green skin (like most (traditional) aliens are), blue lipstick and long light pink hair with some blue highlights. She wears a suit-like clothing similar to Ail's, but hers is more fit and she has heels for her shoes.
In her human form as Natsumi Ginga, she has normal albeit pale skin, dark brown and red hair that's a bit past the shoulders and brown eyes.
An often loses energy, and must recover it either by going to the Doom Tree or draining someone's energy. Usually she is the one who picks the Cardian they send to do their bidding.
An/Ann in human form
Ail and An invaded Earth to drain energy for the Makaiju, and targeted the energy of humans, as they have the type of energy that the Makaiju needs. While they were posing as humans at Usagi Tsukino's school, An fell in love with Mamoru Chiba. She kept this from Ail, while initially unaware that he was in love with Usagi. However, they soon suspected each other in episode 4, when An took Mamoru to the virtual reality game, and Ail caught Usagi when she fell off a platform.
In episode 10, when the Sailor Senshi were arguing over who is going to play Snow White in the play, An had them all draw strings, and cheated so that she was Snow White, since Mamoru was Prince Charming and An wanted to kiss him so he would fall in love with her. However, the play was crashed by Ail and Cardian Bipierrot.
In episode 11, An complained about poetry and spoke of it in an alien language when Miss Haruna asked her to read a poem, so she got detention with Usagi. She began losing energy, so she continuously attempted to steal Usagu's energy, and finally succeeded. However, Usagi was still able to destroy Ail's disobedient Cardian, Amanju.
In episode 13, Ail and An fought the Sailor Senshi, but An protected Mamoru from the Doom Tree. Though Ail soon came to realize that what they were doing was wrong, An initially did not, nor did she realize the true power of love, until the Makaiju tried to kill Ail. An sacrificed herself to save him, being impaled by its branches. After the Makaiju explained to everyone that it was never evil, and needed love energy to survive, the Makaiju brought An back to life. Together Ail and An, who are now in love with each other, left to start a new peaceful life with the tree.
Trivia
- The names Ail and An together are a pun on the word "alien."
- An's death scene is quite similar to that of a Worm on the anime, Monster Rancher. Both are stabbed by a plantlike creature while trying to protect a character named Ail (Alan in the English dub), and both are eventually revived.
- Her name in the French dub of the anime was "Annette."
