In the live action series, '''''Mio Kuroki''''' is an idol who transfers into [[Usagi Tsukino]]'s class and tries to become her friend, but in reality is an enemy out to destroy her.  
+
'''''Mio Kuroki''''' was a character who appeared only in the [[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon|live-action series]]. On the outside, Mio was a new teenage [[idol]] whose signature song, "[[Change of Pace]]," had a following comparable to that of [[Minako Aino]]'s "[[C'est la Vie ~ Watashi no Naka no Koi Suru Bubun|C'est la Vie]]." Also like Minako, she was good at volleyball, and claimed to be a good friend of [[Usagi Tsukino|Usagi]]'s. The truth, however, was much more sinister.

Mio was in truth a clone of [[Queen Beryl]], created by her and [[Jadeite]] some time between [[Act 25 - So Tuxedo Mask's True Identity was Mamoru Chiba...|Act 25]] and [[Act 28 - Welcome Back, Ami!|Act 28]]. Her objectives in life were to be Beryl's eyes and ears in the human world, to give [[Mamoru Chiba]] to Queen Beryl, and to generally make the lives of the [[Sailor Senshi]] as miserable as possible - especially Usagi's. To do this, Mio did her best to be Usagi's friend (and always called her "Usagi-chan"), while simultaneously humiliating her at every turn. She also harmed people who saw through her, such as [[Naru Osaka]], and constantly tried to upstage Minako whenever she could, with mixed results.

There was some question amongst [[Sailor Moon Fandom|fans]] as to how much Mio was Beryl and how much Mio was her own person. It was possible that Mio was her own, independent entity that was controlled by Beryl when necessary, such as in [[Act 35 - Sailor Venus and Zoisite are Working Together?|Act 35]] and [[Act 36 - Princess Sailor Moon Appears!|Act 36]]. While Mio shared many of Beryl's beliefs and feelings, Mio did have some free will of her own, as she did many things independent of Queen Beryl. For example, she brought Rei to the Dark Kingdom on her own (because she was bored), and acted on her own in the Special Act after Queen Beryl had been dead for some time. Mio was possibly an alternate consciousness split from Queen Beryl's mind and materialized in a human form, hence she was described as Beryl's "shadow."
  
It is noticeable that the Japanese kanji characters "Kuroki" in her family name mean black wood, hence her true form as a monstrous plant.

There is a question as to how much Mio is Beryl and how much Mio is her own person. It is likely that Mio is her own, independent entity that is controlled by Beryl when necessary, such as in [[Act 35 - Sailor Venus and Zoisite are Working Together?|Act 35]] and [[Act 36 - Princess Sailor Moon Appears!|Act 36]]. While Mio shares many of Beryl's beliefs and feelings, Mio does have some free will of her own, as she does many things independent of Queen Beryl, most notably in the [[Special Act]], after Queen Beryl has been dead for some time.
 
 
Mio can be understood as an alternate conscious splitted from Queen Beryl's mind and materialized in a human form (like Jesus Christ), hence being described as Beryl's "shadow".

Mio Kuroki was a character who appeared only in the live-action series. On the outside, Mio was a new teenage idol whose signature song, "Change of Pace," had a following comparable to that of Minako Aino's "C'est la Vie." Also like Minako, she was good at volleyball, and claimed to be a good friend of Usagi's. The truth, however, was much more sinister.

Mio was in truth a clone of Queen Beryl, created by her and Jadeite some time between Act 25 and Act 28. Her objectives in life were to be Beryl's eyes and ears in the human world, to give Mamoru Chiba to Queen Beryl, and to generally make the lives of the Sailor Senshi as miserable as possible - especially Usagi's. To do this, Mio did her best to be Usagi's friend (and always called her "Usagi-chan"), while simultaneously humiliating her at every turn. She also harmed people who saw through her, such as Naru Osaka, and constantly tried to upstage Minako whenever she could, with mixed results.

Mio was principal in getting Mamoru Chiba into Beryl's grasp, and once he was in the Dark Kingdom she watched over him and provided him with outside "encouragement" from Rei Hino when he was cursed. However, her treatment of Mamoru inadvertently came back to haunt her when Prince Endymion was possessed by Queen Metalia, who seemingly blasted her out of existence.

However, it turned out that the attack did not completely destroy her, though it took her four years to completely recover without Beryl's power to help her. Nevertheless, she returned in the Special Act and attempted to recreate the Dark Kingdom with her as its queen and Mamoru as the king. After realizing that Mamoru would always love Usagi even when brainwashed, she transformed into her true form: a giant black flower with sharp vines. She was finally destroyed when the Sailor Senshi performed Sailor Planet Attack.

There was some question amongst fans as to how much Mio was Beryl and how much Mio was her own person. It was possible that Mio was her own, independent entity that was controlled by Beryl when necessary, such as in Act 35 and Act 36. While Mio shared many of Beryl's beliefs and feelings, Mio did have some free will of her own, as she did many things independent of Queen Beryl. For example, she brought Rei to the Dark Kingdom on her own (because she was bored), and acted on her own in the Special Act after Queen Beryl had been dead for some time. Mio was possibly an alternate consciousness split from Queen Beryl's mind and materialized in a human form, hence she was described as Beryl's "shadow."

Powers[edit]

Before the Special Act, Mio exhibited some mind control powers, as well as the ability to injure people telepathically; the Special Act revealed her true form, as well as her ability to call up Youma on her own. When teleporting, Mio was symbolized by black flower petals.

Trivia[edit]

  • The Japanese kanji characters for "Kuroki" (黒木) in her family name mean "black wood," which could be the reason why she took the form of a monstrous plant in the Special Act. They are also the same characters in Marina Kuroki's family name.
