Sedusa

Sakurako Kintoki (金時桜子) (Annie in the English dub) is a character in the Powerpuff Girls Z anime series. Under normal circumstances, she is a shy young girl who runs a sweets store and has a crush on a boy named Souichirou. But whenever she wears lipstick, she transforms into the mischievous and seductive Sedusa, who serves as a primary enemy of the Powerpuff Girls Z. Annie runs a dessert shop in New Townsville near the junior high school. She is simple, modest, and shy. After her parents died, she took charge of the shop all by herself. Because she runs a candy store, she cannot wear makeup. There is a boy among her regular customers whom she likes, but she lacks self-confidence and is about to give up.

Sedusa is the form Annie takes when she becomes a villain. After being exposed to a black Z-Ray, she began transforming by applying lipstick. Her ambition is to become the most beautiful woman in the world and conquer it. She has a strong obsession with jewelry, accessories, fashion, and makeup. With makeup, she can change her face into a hundred different faces. She is agile, but her physical abilities are comparable to those of an ordinary human. She can use makeup to transform herself into anyone. Sedusa can also make her voice sound like that of many different people. However, the Powerpuff Girls Z can sometimes identify her by the smell of her makeup and perfume. If Sedusa is hit by the Chemical Z beam, she returns to her original form as Annie but retains no memories of her time as a villain. She is not even aware that she is turning into a villain.

When Sara Bellum is away, Sakurako finds Ms. Bellum's lipstick. While trying it on outside her restaurant, she is struck by Black Z-Rays.

In her debut, "Sedusa", she is first seen making coffee and trying to impress her crush, Souichirou (Jason in the English dub), but accidentally spills it on him. Blossom notices Sakurako's feelings for him which embarrasses her.

The next day, she once again tries to impress Souichirou as she goes in a makeup store. The store lady insists that she try a sample of lipstick, to which Sakurako refuses. However, despite Sakurako not wanting to, the lady puts a sample of lipstick on her lips. As the lady goes to get more samples, Sakurako transforms into Sedusa, who goes on a stealing spree, targeting clothes, makeup, and jewelry.

The Powerpuff Girls investigate Sedusa's crimes and find out where she will strike next. Heading for a store, Bubbles goes inside the mall as Blossom and Buttercup are on a lookout. Suddenly, they find Bubbles tied up and they go look for Sedusa. However; it is quickly revealed to be Sedusa in the form of Bubbles. She then tries to trick Bubbles out of the store (disguised as Buttercup) but fails as Bubbles figures it couldn't be Buttercup as she dislikes perfume (or in that fact, dislikes girly stuff). Shortly, Blossom and Buttercup find Bubbles and confront her, who reveals herself. Sedusa tries to make a getaway but is soon knocked out by Buttercup's daruma otoshi hammer.

The girls take an unconscious Sedusa to the Professor's lab, and Professor removes the Black Z-Rays. They see her turn back to her original form and recognize Sakurako.

The next day, Sakurako recovers and goes back to the shop, where The Powerpuff Girls and Ms. Bellum are relaxing. As Sakurako cleans up, Souichirou appears in the shop. Souichirou then admits his love for her as he holds her hands. Sakurako thanks Ms. Bellum for helping her, who appears confused about what she's talking about but doesn't question her.
