## Sailor Senshi

Sailor Dusk's standard uniform consists of a white, chest-armored leotard, a violet sailor collar with three white stripes, a violet choker, a violet skirt with a white puffy belt sat above it, and light blue bows at the chest and at the back. She wears a pair of robins-egg blue short heeled knee-high boots with white triangular borders, white gloves with three violet arm fittings at the ends that reach just below her elbows, and a light blue circular gem at the center of her chest bow. A golden tiara with a blue, oval-shaped gem is located on her forehead, and for earrings, she has three blue studs on either ear. She still wears the moon hairclip.

In Act 33, when Super Sailor Moon is awakened, the shape of the gem at the center of her chest bow changes into a heart.

### Super Sailor Dusk

As Super Sailor Dusk, the number of white stripes on her collar was reduced to one, her choker had a yellow moon with a teal gemstone in the center attached to it, she has shoulder pads (the bottom of them being translucent), and the back waist bow was enlarged and lengthened.

### Eternal Sailor Dusk

As Eternal Sailor Dusk, her sailor uniform radically changed. Her leotard no longer has chest armor, and the gemstone in the middle of her tiara is moon-shaped. Her earrings have a blue star dangling from a single blue moon stud. Her choker is v-shaped with a pink sun in the center. Her sailor collar has a singular golden stripe on it. The gem at the center of her chest bow is also sun-shaped. In place of her shoulder pads are short light blue bubble-like sleeves with two violet fittings at the ends; they have somewhat of a translucent aspect to them. Her gloves are extended to reach her upper arms, and her skirt now consists of two layers; violet on the top and light pink on the bottom. Her belt is now made up of two ribbons, the bottom one being light blue and the top one being lilac, the top one being very lengthy and extending past her skirt. Her back bow is now back to its original size, and her boots are now white and knee-length; they have larger heels and blue v-shaped borders at the top that have yellow stars in the center.

### Princess Dusk

As Princess Dusk, her long light purple hair thickens and expands to past her hips and curl at the very end. Other pieces of her hair are in complicated braids and have pink highlights. Her skin is now paler and have blue nail polish. A silver sign of a crescent moon sits on her forehead but she's not from the Moon Kingdom. Her eyes are a shade of purple. She has peach eyeshadow on her eyelids and blue on her undereyes. She wears silver eyeliner and mascara. Her lipstick is a light berry color.

She wears a long blue gown with peach and coral at the bottom. Her sleeves were disconnected and almost long enough to cover her hands. The dress is a v-neck, revealing a little bit of her breasts. Finally, a salmon tiara sat on her head.

## Personality

She is shy and quiet but talks more once you get to know her more. She is Ami Mizuno's sister-in-law. Her father is always pushing her to be less shy but she stays the same.
