Revision as of 19:02, 31 July 2019
Kaorinite is a member of the Death Busters, the commander of the Witches 5, and the principal of the Infinity Academy. This is the original depiction of the character created by Naoko Takeuchi.
Nomenclature & Etymology
Etymology
Kaorinite is named after a mineral of the same name.
The kanji in her alias' surname translates to "black" (黒) and "peak" or "ridge" (峰). Her given name, Kaori, comes from the Romanized form of "Kaolinite". It also means "fragrance" or "aroma".
Appearance
She has long red hair, and wears a black dress with a black pendant around her neck. When she is disguised as Kaori she wears a red dress.
Background
Manga
Kaorinite became "Magus" of Pharaoh 90 after being struck by a bolt of lightning during a chaotic storm that occurred as the pair attempted to reconstruct the maimed body of his daughter Hotaru. When she rises from the floor, her eyes are shining. Her title is "Magus Kaorinite", Magus being a position that all of the Witches 5 aspire to reach. The privileges of the Magus position includes the use of the Tau Star System's crystal and direct contact with Master Pharaoh 90. Kaorinite is the one the Witches 5 answer, not Professor Tomoe, as opposed to the anime. She sees them in no way other than servants, demonstrating annoyance when Mimete appeals to her for help. With her alias as Kaori, she also sometimes watches over and cares for the fragile Hotaru, though Hotaru shows contempt towards her seeing Kaori as an intrusion to her family. It is implied that she wishes to be Pharaoh 90's partner in place of Mistress 9, something Mistress 9 is aware of and views with amusement. When Mistress 9 does awaken, she orders Kaorinite to eliminate the Sailor Senshi. Reviving the Witches 5, she succeeds in subduing the Guardian Senshi, however, they are freed by Sailors' Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Reunited, the Senshi confront Kaorinite in the Principal's Office of Infinty Academy, and she transforms into a Daimon. She is destroyed by Super Sailor Moon's "Rainbow Moon Heartache" attack.
Anime
For the first twelve episodes of Sailor Moon S, she sent Professor Tomoe's Daimonpods and turned them into Daimons to extract Pure Hearts, seeking out those she thought could possess Pure Heart Crystals.These plans were always foiled by the Sailor Senshi. Finally, her last monster, Senishenta, extracted Usagi's Pure Heart, and it seemed to be a talisman, but it was returned to her by Tuxedo Mask. After Senishenta froze Tuxedo Mask in a crystal, Kaorinite told Usagi, whom she discovered was Sailor Moon, to meet her at Tokyo Tower. At Tokyo Tower, Senishenta extracted Usagi's Pure Heart, but Sailor Uranus said it wasn't a talisman and returned it to her.
Sailor Venus disguised herself as Sailor Moon to convince Kaorinite that Usagi was not Sailor Moon. Kaorinite
fought Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune while the other Sailor Senshi fought Senishenta. After Sailor Moon destroyed Senishenta, they inevitably fought Kaorinite, who used a culture fluid created by herself to absorb Senishenta's power, using a crystal sword and a beam of crystal shards that encase anything in glass. The Sailor Senshi used Sailor Planet Attackon her, but she survived with minor injuries. Just as she had them all at her mercy, Sailor Uranus ultimately decided to help them, and used World Shakingon her, hitting her directly and turning her crystal beam against her, encasing her in crystal. The attack also caused parts of the tower to collapse and send Kaorinite falling over the edge to her death.
She was later revived by Professor Tomoe (though this is not explained until near the end), and became Hotaru's guardian. She did not seem to want to get back into heart snatching, but eventually decided to extract the purest heart she could find. She took Chibiusaover to the lab where Hotaru extracted her Pure Heart and transformed into Mistress 9. Mistress 9 struck Kaorinite with lightning, which also knocked her into the deadly electric force-field. Her body vanished after death, and Mistress 9 said that she had served her purpose.
