Nomenclature & Etymology[]
Nyanko means cat, or kitten (Nyan is the Japanese equivalent of meow and ko means small). Her surname, Suzu, means "little bells", which means that her disguise name would be translated as "Little Bells Kitten". Her Sailor Guardian name also calls to mind the 1955 play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

Civilian[]
In her Nyanko Suzu disguise, she wears the regular Juban High uniform, with a bell on her bow. she wears a red choker and her hair is the same shape as when she is in her animamate form, only with a small split fringe.
Personality[]
Nyanko, in her human guise, presented a calm and somewhat obsessive personality towards Usagi, trying to get close to her at all costs. After her identity was revealed and she showed aggressive behavior, she seemed to hold a grudge against Luna and Artemis for abandoning their home planet. Like the other Animamates, she is very determined and focused on achieving her goals. She was confused by the way Usagi sacrificed herself to protect the cats. Unlike her coworkers, she didn't have the courage to face several Sailor Guardians at once, and ended up running away as soon as the Starlights appeared. She is also very submissive to her boss Sailor Galaxia
Information[]
Sailor Tin Nyanko first appears at Juban High School under the pseudonym Nyanko Suzu. She tries to make friends with Usagi by praising her odangos and asking for a tutorial. She doesn't seem to be impressed by the Three Lights or interested in meeting a boy, quickly rejecting a suitor, claiming that girls can only trust other girls. However, her disguise wasn't enough to fool the Three Lights who were able to sense her alien pheromones and Luna who sensed the presence of someone with a power similar to hers.
Later, she follows Usagi on her way home, proposing that they have dinner together, but she is confronted by Luna and Artemis who reveal her true identity.
Furious, Nyanko calls Luna and Artemes traitors while transforming into Sailor Tin Nyanko. She attacks the cats forcing them to assume their human forms, and flee. Tin Nyanko follows to the roof of the school and uses her special move Galactica Puppet against them, but Sailor Moon gets in front and ends up getting hit. However, the attack paralyzed Luna and Artemis, preventing them from moving.
Tin Nyanko is revealed to be an inhabitant of the planet Mau, the home planet of Luna and Artemis. Artemis scolds Nyanko for soiling Sailor Mau's name and the reputation of Mau's inhabitants as peaceful beings. Nyanko claims that the two of them betrayed and abandoned the planet "Mau" to join the Silver Millennium and that the planet Mau no longer exists, since it was destroyed by Sailor Galaxia. Nyanko is determined to win the fight in order to recover her body, get rid of the bracelets, and to win her own Sailor Crystal and finally become a true Sailor Guardian. She tries to attack Luna and Artemis again, but the attack is stopped by Diana, who is hit and reverts to her cat form and loses her ability to communicate. She uses her power of mutilation to attack Usagi, and hits Luna and Artemis who were unable to speak. The starlights" appear and Fighter uses her Star Serious Laser against Nyanko, forcing her to flee.
She later returns to Galactica Palace lamenting her failure, but Galaxia reprimands her for running away like a coward and removes her bracelets, killing her instantly.
