Mikuuji

Mikuji (ミクージ, Mikūji) is the first Daimon that was sent by Kaolinite to extract a Pure Heart Crystal from someone who possessed one. She ends up attempting to steal Rei Hino's Pure Heart Crystal.

When Kaolinite was sent out to collect a Pure Heart Crystal, she releases a Daimon Egg, and it implants itself into a tree.

Later, when Rei ties a paper fortune to the tree, the tree senses her, mutates, and transforms into Mikuji. When Rei attempts to transform, Mikuji knocks her Star Power Stick out of her hand and tackles her to a wall. She then reveals a black star mark on her chest and a beam appears and starts to painfully extract Rei's Pure Heart Crystal.

Hearing Rei's screams, Usagi transforms into Sailor Moon, but Mikuji throws her with her "hair". She also succeeds in trapping Minako, Ami, and Makoto before they can transform. Tuxedo Mask is able to stop Mikuji for a split second so that Sailor Moon can perform Moon Princess Halation, but the Daimon counters with paper fortunes, and is able to counter both the attack and knock the Cutie Moon Rod out of her hand. Appearance: Her design is inspired by Japanese shrine aesthetics, including red and white rope elements (called suzuo). Abilities: She can attack using a long tentacle from her hair and can create wooden hand-like constructs to trap her opponents.
