> Sheshe to Mimi, Episode 85

**The Black Beauty Sisters** (ブラック・ビューティー・シスターズ *Burakku Byūtī Shisutāzu*) are two sisters, Sheshe and Mimi, they worked once for Gaito and once for Mikeru. They are the first villains to sing evil songs as an offensive attack against the Mermaid Princesses. They have two songs: Kuro no Kyōsōkyoku, and Yami no Baroque.

There has been a common misconception among fans that Sheshe and Mimi were lovers in the manga and were censored to be sisters in the anime, when in fact, they still referred to themselves as sisters even in the manga.

Their debut is marked in Episode 27. They had an episode centered around them in Pure called "Breakup of the Sisters"

## Sheshe

 File:Infox Sheshe.png  Sheshe is the elder sister of the Black Beauty Sisters. She is a mercenary of Gaito, not in love with him like the Dark Lovers, but only willing to cooperate with him for personal gain.

The Black Beauty Sisters are the most powerful servants of Gaito, with a singing voice so strong that the mermaids can barely stand to listen to it.

She is more powerful than Mimi, because she has demonstrated all the powers that Mimi has and more powers that she hasn't demonstrated. She is also the one that does all the thinking instead of the work. The reason the Black Beauty Sisters must align with Gaito is because they, like the Dark Lovers, are also transformed by Gaito's spell. Sheshe's true form is that of a red-orange demon angler-fish.

## Mimi

Mimi is more of a follower of Sheshe, and in their song (Kuro No Kyousoukyou), she sings the chorus. She is the lead singer in their second song (Yami No Baroque). Their song causes pain to mermaids. She is the sister that does all the work instead of the thinking and takes orders from Sheshe. Like her sister, Mimi is also transformed by Gaito's spell, and her true form is a blue demon angler-fish. In the anime she becomes friends with the Mermaid Princesses and cries when she finds out her friends are the Mermaid Princesses.
