Kurai is Usagi's older sister and Queen Serenity's firstborn and older daughter. She is the crown princess of the Silver Millennium and the true sole heir before her sister. She is also known as Sailor Dark Moon. She lives with Seiya, Yaten, Taiki, Princess Kakyuu and her cat Astarte[1] She is the future queen of Elysion.
History[]
She was born before Serenity in the Silver Millennium, as Princess Tranquility. As she doesn't look like her mom and is very mature, serious and has a mean streak, she was disliked by the people on the moon and only Astarte, a cat from the planet Mau wanted to play with her. Because of her black hair, she was nicknamed "Princess Eclipse". In the Great War between the Moon and Earth, she protected Queen Serenity from being murdered by Beryl, taking the shoot instead. Before she died, Diana, the Moon Fairy sacrificed her life to save her and Astarte and transport them directly in the future, where she guided Tuxedo Mask to save Sailor Moon, helped Sailor Moon in the battle with Metallia, sent the Outer Senshi to Earth, as well as Helios and the Starlights. She rarely showed herself and the Senshis believed she was evil.
Later, it was discovered that she and Serenity are daughters of Chaos, who seduced the Queen, which explained why she has black hair and more destructive powers.
Biography[]
While all this happens, Usagi begins to suffer symptoms similar to Hotaru's, only that she can see a young woman with a similar appearance to hers but with jet-black hair. These visions of her are constant, from seeing her in her dreams to having small trances where she sees her lying on the floor asking for forgiveness for something that Usagi does not understand, even she feels her presence inside the room where she rest. All this leads her to an erratic state of health that worries the Sailors Scouts, so she, afraid that it means something bad, she decides to meet with the other girls to talk to them about her strange way of acting.
As more girls go to the Hikawa temple, Rei begins to feel the presence of the enemy and, while rebelling, transforms into Sailor Mars to defeat him but it seems that all attempts are in vain. In it, the other Sailors together with Tuxedo Mask join the battle and Sailor Moon proceeds to use her power against the enemy to no avail. Himself, she destroys the Scepter and seriously damages the Princess, who falls into a trance within herself.
She awakens without her warrior garb in what appears to be the ancient ruins of the Silver Millennium. There, a small light approaches her, revealing the silhouette of a young woman with two pigtails and similar Odangos to hers. She tells her that they are both born of the same flesh, that they are united by a greater bond than she believes and when Usagi's doubts about knowing who the girl is or her true appearance, she reveals herself to the Princess. She mentions that her name is Kurai and that there were many things that she still could not explain but that had always been with her, since she was a baby to the most painful battles, she has always been part of her and grown by her side. Usagi tells her that she has no memory of it but Kurai reveals to her that she has been a prisoner locked inside her and that he cannot use her power to free herself from her. So, Usagi, consider what, without knowing why Kurai ended up imprisoned, she deserves a second chance and gives her part of her light so that her spirit can finally step on the same reality as her. It is here when a bright light is seen on the white moon, both being able to transform into Eternal Sailor Moon together, possessing Kurai, a suit identical to Usagi's but with details in black colors.
An unforeseen eclipse occurs in the middle of the battlefield between the Sailors and the enemy, bringing Sailor Moon with it. Everyone seems happy to see her safe and sound from her, but a voice behind her speaks and everyone is stunned by what her eyes appreciate, the tracing of the Princess of her is revealed before them. But the situation becomes even stranger when the enemy tries to attack the two young women and a laser takes him by surprise, knocking him out of the fight for a brief moment. Everyone looks towards the owner of that power and it turns out to be the same Sailor Star Fighter, who apparently has been called by Kurai. She begs the two of them to use her power together and they both proceed, fusing and creating a powerful new attack capable of taking down the enemy present.
Once the battle is over, Sailor Moon cannot help having millions of questions and concerns, as the Sailors completely distrust Kurai and she provokes her anger, at least against Mars. Usagi asks for explanations, but the young woman denies it, saying that there are many things that she will not be able to understand but what, in time, she would do it herself. Then, both Fighter and Kurai disappear from the place leaving everyone puzzled and full of unanswered questions.

In this form, her uniform underwent the most radical changes; she no longer wears a tiara and instead has a black crescent moon on her forehead, her earrings have a star at the bottom of each crescent moon. The choker is red with a black heart and a black crescent moon under it while wearing the same white wing barrettes in her hair. The collar itself is like her old one but is dark blue with three gold stripes and in place of her shoulder pads are short solid pink bubble-like sleeves with a red band at the end. In the place of her front bow is a black heart with a crescent moon at the bottom, with what appears to be four angel wings coming out of it. Her gloves are the same as before, but with a red v-shape border along with a black star. Her skirt is attached to her top in a red v-shape with a crescent in the center of the v along with three layers on it; the top layer is black, the middle layer is red and the bottom layer is blue. Her back bow is replaced with a huge set of angel wings and two very long, thin red ribbons trailing down from them. Her boots are now knee length with v-shape borders with a crescent moon on them.

Despite her seriousness, she's ingenuous, innocent girl, but she tends to hide her feelings as the series progresses, a maturity is seen in her behavior, putting aside her fears, her academic performance was good.
Due to the qualities described above, Kurai has the facility to make friends but when she meets Usagi and her friends, she shows coldness and that no one really matters, she is very reliable and is willing to give her life for her loved ones if necessary.

She's sometimes sad, thoughtful, moderately stubborn, simple-minded, sometimes secretive. But with Usagi and others, she can be cheerful and resourceful.
