Amazoness Quartet

The Amazoness Quartet is a set of villains from the anime Sailor Moon SuperS and the Sailor Moon manga: CereCere, PallaPalla, JunJun and VesVes. The Greek rendering, Amazones Quartetto, is the more likely intended spelling, however it is not commonly used among fans and no official Japanese merchandise shows the name in roman letters. As antagonists, they are a subset of the Dead Moon Circus. In the English language adaptation, they are called the Amazon Quartet.

In the manga, they become the Sailor Quartetto, or, in English fandom, the Asteroid senshi. They are to become the future protectors of Small Lady analogous to Neo Queen Serenity's four soldiers—Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Venus and Sailor Jupiter. Each is named after four early major asteroids.

CereCere

CereCere (or SereSere), is named after both the asteroid Ceres and the Roman goddess Ceres. Japanese seiyuu Yuri Amano portrays her in the original anime.

She is the pink headed girl in the Amazoness Quartet, and the ball that she uses for attack is Yellow, even though her hair is pink. She is an equivalent to Sailor Venus and just like Sailor Venus she gets obssessed with her looks (this actually happened in one episode). She wears similar clothing to the rest of the Amazoness Quartet and the yellow ball she uses for attacks can keep her from growing up.

In the Sailor Moon manga, she is revealed to be a member of the "Sailor Quartet": Sailor Ceres

PallaPalla

PallaPalla (or ParaPara) is the blue headed childlike member of the Amazoness Quartet. Japanese seiyuu Machiko Toyoshima portrays her in the anime. She is named for the asteroid Pallas. Her namesake has two possibilities: Pallas, the Greek god, or Pallas Athene, the goddess of wisdom, weaving and warfare.

She, like the others of the quartet were given a ball that's about the same color as their hair to reveal someone's dream mirror. She wears a similar outfit to the other members of the Amazoness Quartet and like all other members of the Quartet, she wears her favorite colors all over. The attacks she and the rest of the Quartet use are very similar to pinball except the target is a person and not getting balls into a hole.

In the Sailor Moon manga, she is actually a member of the "Sailor Quartet": Sailor Pallas

JunJun

JunJun is the tallest of the Amazoness Quartet. She is named after the asteroid Juno and the Roman Goddess Juno. Seiyuu Kumiko Watanabe portrays her in the original Japanese production. In the English language version, she is performed by actress Mary Long.

She has the same attack as the other members of the group, except her ball is green, just like her hair. She wears a similar top to what the rest of her groupmates wear, but instead of tights, she wears baggy Arabian-style pants. She is the tomboy in the group and like the rest of the Quartet, her ball can keep her from growing up.

In the manga, she is revealed to be a member of the "Sailor Quartet": Sailor Juno.

VesVes

VesVes (or Besubesu) is a member of the Amazoness Quartet. She is named after the asteroid Vesta and the Roman goddess Vesta. Junko Hagimori provides her voice in the original Japanese produced anime.

She appears in Sailor Moon SuperS anime as a red headed girl of about aged thirteen. She is scantily-clad, wearing a red Amazon Jungle-style outfit. She has a red ball given to her by Queen Nehelenia which she can use to expose someone of their dream mirror. That ball was used at the end of the season by Nehellenia to steal power from her and transfer it to Zirconia. It is also said that this ball keeps her from growing up.

In the Sailor Moon manga, she is actually a member of the "Sailor Quartet": Sailor Vesta.
