Etymology[]
The members of the quartet are Sailor Guardians of the first four Asteroids discovered in the Solar System: Ceres, Pallas, Juno, and Vesta. They were found at the start of the 1800s and it was 38 years until another was found. In this time they were considered proper planets before many other asteroids were discovered forcing their status as planets to be reevaluated. In the time since Naoko Takeuchi wrote Sailor Moon, Ceres has been re-categorized again - this time as a dwarf planet.
Information[]
Manga[]
Background[]
The Sailor Quartet rested in the Amazon Jungle awaiting the day they would protect their princess, Sailor Chibi Moon. Unfortunately, they were found and prematurely released by Queen Nehellenia of the Dead Moon Circus. She corrupted them and turned them into CereCere, PallaPalla, JunJun, and VesVes, making the Amazoness Quartet who would work for the Dead Moon Circus.
Dream Arc[]
Sailor Saturn was able to tell the Amazoness Quartet were corrupted Sailor Guardians and attempted to free them alongside Sailor Chibi Moon. When they started regaining their memories, Zirconia arrived and sealed them back into the Amazon Stones and captured them alongside Sailor Chibi Moon and Sailor Saturn. She brought all of them to Queen Nehelenia inside the mirror. When Sailor Moon came to save them she sensed planet power from the stones they were trapped in, and Sailor Saturn collected the Amazon Stones for safekeeping before escaping the mirror.
After Nehelenia was defeated, Sailor Saturn requested Usagi, in her Neo-Queen Serenity form, to heal the stones freeing the Quartet who were revealed to be Sailor Guardians. Awakened, they shared their story before going back to sleep to await the day Sailor Chibi Moon would become a full Sailor Guardian.
Stars Arc[]
Sailor Chibi Moon returns to the future but all is not well. Crystal Tokyo's Sailor Pluto detects a great power in the past which threatens to change history making the city unstable and incapacitates many of her friends. She argues with her mother and resolves to return to the past to help Sailor Moon and investigate. She transforms which triggers the awakening of the Quartet who join her into the past.
In the present, they could not find any of their fellow guardians or even Diana who had left to investigate before them. As they agreed Sailor Moon must have left Earth to challenge the enemy, a great light appeared in the sky and they sensed Usagi's voice. They followed the light and it teleported them to Sagittarius Zero Star.
There they found Sailor Moon, Princess Kakyuu, and Sailor Chibi Chibi entangled by burning vines by Sailor Heavy Metal Papillon. The Quartet, along with Sailor Chibi Moon, immediately freed them with Pink Ladies Freezing Kiss and eliminated the threat with Amazoness Jungle Arrow.
The group was unable to ascertain who had teleported them to Sagittarius Zero Star but noticed the tiny guardian Sailor Chibi Chibi. The child was not forthright about herself but the Quartet did not think she was Chibiusa's sister as they were confident Silver Millennium queens only had one daughter. Their discussion was then interrupted by their arrival at the Star Garden of Galactica Palace where the Quartet stood on the sidelines as Sailor Kakyuu fought Sailor Chi and Sailor Phi. When Eternal Sailor Moon finished Sailor Phi, Sailor Chi struck a mortal blow on Sailor Kakyuu from behind and the Quartet performed an unnamed combined attack on Sailor Chi as Sailor Moon listened to the Princess' dying words.
When Usagi's Sailor Guardians appeared under the influence of Galactica Bracelets they quickly attacked with Mercury Aqua Rhapsody and Mars Flame Sniper catching Sailor Moon off guard. The Quartet jumped in the way of the attacks shielding Usagi but were knocked out in the process.
They awoke much later to a light coming from a destroyed Galactica Palace and Sailor Moon's voice asking for help. Inside they found Chaos and Sailor Moon above the Galaxy Cauldron. They granted her power and watched Usagi and her foe dissolve into the Cauldron's depths. Sailor Cosmos, whom Sailor Ceres recognized as Chibi Chibi and a future form of Usagi, proceeded to tell them her story and what had happened with Sailor Moon and their princess before sending them back to their own time.
Crystal[]
The appearance of the Sailor Quartet in Sailor Moon Eternal and Sailor Moon Cosmos closely follows the the manga which is described above.
Musicals[]
The Quartet appear in several Sera Myu, but with a completely different background. Created by Professor Tomoe, they were known as the "Samael Quartet". They are depicted as young girls about the age of Chibiusa. Formed from and connected to Chibiusa's Star Seed, they can transform into the Sailor Quartet.
Powers[]
Attacks[]
- Pink Ladies Freezing Kiss (with Sailor Chibi Moon)
- Amazoness Jungle Arrow / Sailor Crystal Arrow
Trivia[]
- They are Sailor Chibi Moon's protectors and are her version of Sailor Moon's Inner Sailor Guardians. The Quartet are foils to their corresponding member of Inner Guardians.
- Their ages are in the same order as their corresponding heavenly body's discovery. Ceres was the first discovered and the oldest of the Sailor Quartet, followed by Pallas, Juno, and Vesta is the fourth discovered and the youngest Sailor Guardian.[1]
- The Dead Moon Circus did not plan on defeating the Inner Sailor Guardians conventionally. They wanted to take them over with nightmares from Lemures to turn them into servants of the Dead Moon - exactly what they had already done to the Sailor Quartet.
- According to the Materials Collection and Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal The Movie Visual Book (voice actors interview), they are four sisters.
