Tellu is the 3rd member of the Witches 5 and is the 3rd witch to collect Pure Heart Crystals and battle the Sailor Guardians.
Etymology[]
Tellu's name could come from a rare oxide mineral known as "tellurite", or from a chemical element called "tellurium".
The kanji is Tellu's alias surname translates to either "shine", "illuminate", or "reflect" (照) and "field" (野). Her given name "Lulu" translates to "stop" (留) with the character after it (々) having no specific pronunciation, and it only indicates that the syllable before it is repeated.
Appearance[]
Tellu has green hair in pigtails similar to Usagi's, and vivid green eyes, as well as a pair of glasses and pink spherical earrings. She wore a black dress with arm netting that connected to a black star near her neck, with the dress draping down into a second green layer forming a flower-like design. The netting on her arms also formed a black star in her palms, which could hold Pure Heart Crystals. She also wore green leggings with the same black netting as her dress and black shoes.
Information[]
In the anime, Tellu was shadowed like most of the others, and beat Mimete at Twister.
In her first somewhat unshadowed episode, Professor Tomoe told Tellu that it was her turn to steal Pure Hearts. Mimete overheard this and grew jealous, using a voice changer to sound like Professor Tomoe, to deceive her that the project was canceled (so Mimete could go instead), but Tellu was not fooled by this trick. Tellu spied on Mimete as she attacked a physicist, and when she used the Witches Electric Warp to increase her size and power, Tellu revealed the machine's fatal flaw (death when the plug is removed whilst inside), and pulled the plug on Mimete, killing her.
Tellu only truly lasted one episode against the Sailor Guardians. She used several plants called Telluns to steal Pure Heart Crystals from people. Once removed, she captured the crystals in a star-shaped object on her palm. Sailor Moon, Sailor Chibi Moon, and Sailor Pluto, and Tuxedo Mask investigated, Super Sailor Moon destroyed all the plants with Rainbow Moon Heartache. But Tellu still had one plant left, and injected it with a needle, transforming it into Hyper Tellun, a gigantic plant monster which eats Pure Heart Crystals. However, before she could leave, Tuxedo Mask used a rose to break the object on her palm holding Crystal Hearts, surrounding her with the collected Pure Heart Crystals and causing the Hyper Tellun to turn on Tellu, wrapping her in its vines. Tellu wrapped her vines around Hyper Tellun to electrocute her, causing it to self-destruct, killing Tellu along with it.
After her death, all that remained was her assignment book, which gave the Sailor Guardians the location of the headquarters of the Death Busters.

Trivia[]
- In her only episode, it is revealed that, like in the manga, Tellu goes under the alias "Lulu Teruno", though it is unknown if she still retains her role of the botanical garden caretaker or one of the gym teachers at Mugen Academy.
- She's the only Witches 5's member to never have any contact with her Inner Sailor Senshi counterpart from the manga, Sailor Jupiter. Instead, she drew the attention of Sailor Pluto.
