The four Specter Sisters (あやかしの四姉妹 Ayakashi no Yon Shimai), also known as the Negamoon Sisters in the original English dub from DIC, are subordinates of Rubeus and members of the Black Moon Clan. Each of the sisters possess earrings made of Malefic Black Crystal, giving them psychic powers as a result.
History[]
The Specter Sisters appear as the Black Moon Clan's first line of offense in attack on Tokyo in the 20th century. They were sent back with the mission of alter history to suit their group's ideals while capturing Chibiusa and Sailor Moon's Sailor Guardian bodyguards. The 4th born sister Koan started first by capturing Sailor Mars, then the 3rd born sister Berthier during the same with Sailor Mercury. After the eldest sister Petz died capturing Sailor Jupiter, Calaveras used her medium abilities to revive her sisters through host bodies while attempting to capture Sailor Venus. But Calavera's death marked the end of the sisters.
