Talk:Tellu
Huh. Are we sure about this name? In the anime, they distinctly say "Teruru". --Sailor Biccy 17:30, 12 January 2008 (MST)
- I hope you're referring to the dub name, because I'm fairly certain her name is Tellu... Kerochan no Miko 17:38, 12 January 2008 (MST)
- No, I'm watching her episode in Japanese and my ears are definitely hearing "Teruru". Check yourself, if you want.--Sailor Biccy 17:47, 12 January 2008 (MST)
- Yes, they are saying "Teruru." That's how it's written in Japanese. But her name is "Tellu." It's just like how they say "Jirukonia" or "Gyarakushia" but they're actually called "Zirconia" and "Galaxia." Kerochan no Miko 18:01, 12 January 2008 (MST)
- That doesn't really make sense, though.. Wouldn't it just be "teru" instead of the double "ru"? Not necessarily saying you're wrong, but... --Sailor Biccy 18:06, 12 January 2008 (MST)
- How about I just refer you to Ian's website for that. Kerochan no Miko 18:08, 12 January 2008 (MST)
- Hm. Still seems a bit odd to me, but I guess I can blame the Japanese language instead of the character/fandom. Thanks.--Sailor Biccy 18:11, 12 January 2008 (MST)

- Perhaps, perhaps not. And Kerochan, you yourself were the one who said (here) that Ian's site isn't the "One and Only Truth". I've always thought that, since her name is meant to represent the stem tellur- from tellurite, the best rendition of her name would be Tellur (fitting the pattern of the other Witches). If Naoko had wanted to represent only the tellu- part of the name, she would have written Teru. Nephrite 17:46, 3 May 2008 (MST)
- It's not "the one and only truth" but we're still using that spelling on this site. Kerochan no Miko 17:50, 3 May 2008 (MST)

- If you check all the multitude of discussions on the character names guide, you'll see that the "official" names on this wiki were chosen for different reasons in different cases. As for this one, that's easily the most popular spelling. Ian's site gives an explanation for why "Tellu" is correct - I don't know if that's what Naoko meant or no, but it seems completely reasonable to me. :shrug: Kerochan no Miko 16:54, 23 May 2008 (MST)
- In the manga, all of the Witches 5 have their names written in romaji, except for Ptilol. They are "Eudial", "Mimete", "Tellu", "Viluy" and "Cyprine". Not much room for discussion there.--Sailor Biccy 11:02, 26 May 2008 (MST)
- Ah, so they did. I'd forgotten about that panel, thanks. Kerochan no Miko 19:49, 26 May 2008 (MST)

It is pronunced Teruru, sometimes in Japanese if there are two l's, two r's or an r and l such as in Tellu. Teru (Tel) ru(lu). Minakoaino
- Your point being? Kerochan no Miko 22:30, 24 May 2010 (MST)
Active to mean: goes out often in search of targets, unlike, for example, Nephrite prior to Jadeite's death or Tin Nyanko prior to Seiren's death.
Recurring to mean: appears in more than one episode, unlike, for example, Viluy and Cyprine
Tellu received a target as of episode 120, even though it was stolen, making her an active villain. However she died in the next episode. Prior to episode 120 she did researching along with the other two. Minakoaino
- I removed it because it's your opinion regarding which villains are "active" or not. Kerochan no Miko 01:15, 3 January 2011 (MST)
The version of subtitles I'm watching has Tellu's student booklet "Teruno Ruru-chan" , Sailor Moon says "Telulu Ruru", but then the Subtitles in turn say "Lulu Telulu" (Ignoring the R/L at least, this implies the Alias was also used in the Anime, not just the Manga.) There's some other details in the book ( one is 1-3-5, the other is a date 6(day) 4(month) 88) though probably not very relevant.) Kisai 06:09, 23 September 2011 (MST)
Is it important to add that Tellu had a Pure Heart-extracting black star similar to Kaolinite's Daimons? You know, the black stars on their bodies to take Pure Hearts? Supermariosailormoon 20:14, 25 May 2012 (MST)
- The black star you are referring to is actually a Pure Heart container (as noted on the anime section of this same article). Tellu used her Telluns to extract the Crystals from people's bodies. Silver 16:34, 27 May 2012 (MST)
