Appearance[]

Information[]
Tiger's Eye sent Ayatoriko to fight the Sailor Guardians when they attempted to fight him off as he searched the dreams of Miharu Akiyama for Pegasus. She used some strings in her hands to shoot Sailor Mars's Fire Soul back at her through a portal. She gained the advantage against the Sailor Guardians though Sailor Jupiter managed to destroy her web that she nearly trapped them with. She soon tied them all up. Miharu tried to fight her, but she grabbed her sword with strings.
When Miharu let go, the sword managed to hit Ayatoriko and knocked her down. Sailor Chibi Moon used Twinkle Yell to call Pegasus, and Sailor Moon used Moon Gorgeous Meditation to destroy Ayatoriko.
Powers[]
She has the ability to create many different patterns of cat's cradle. Her attacks are string-related, throwing sharp stars made of string, or using giant string webs or threads to tie people up. These can also be used as projectiles to fall out of the sky
She can also melt her string patterns into a goo-like substance. However, she cannot create a six-rung ladder.
