Information[]
Seiya is the leader of the Three Lights. She first appears in person when she and Kou Taiki and Kou Yaten fail to save Mamoru from Sailor Galaxia at the airport and she catches the fainting Usagi.
Her Sailor Guardian form Sailor Star Fighter, along with Sailor Star Maker and Sailor Star Healer, first appears at the end of Act 50, after Sailor Iron Mouse attacks the Sailor Guardians, who is killed by Star Sensitive Inferno. The Guardians are shocked and wonder who the three are.
Towards the end of Act 51, Seiya accidentally emits "cosmic energy", causing Sailor Aluminum Siren to sense her Star Seed and appears. Ami, Makoto, Usagi, Michiru, and Haruka transform, and Sailor Aluminum Siren grabs hold of Mercury and Jupiter. Eternal Sailor Moon fails to attack Aluminum Siren, and Mercury's and Jupiter's bodies are destroyed and she grabs hold of their Sailor Crystals. Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten use their Sailor Change Stars to transform and Aluminum Siren is killed by a combination of Maker's Star Gentle Uterus and Fighter's Star Serious Laser. The three introduce themselves as Sailor Star Fighter, Sailor Star Maker, and Sailor Star Healer: the Sailor Starlights.
All three of them are a constant source of help for Sailor Moon whenever she’s close to defeat. They, along with Princess Kakyuu, go with Eternal Sailor Moon to Sagittarius Zero Star, with Fighter keeping an eye on her. However, once they reach their destination, they reach a desert with a mysterious cloaked figure on a boat on the sand. Once they enter the boat, the desert turns to water and all of them drown. The figure, revealed to be Sailor Lethe, prepares to kill Eternal Sailor Moon when she and Mnemosyne are killed by Sailor Chi and Sailor Phi. Both of them absorb the Sailor Crystals from the still unconscious Sailor Starlights, resulting in their death.
