Zirconia was the ringmaster of the Dead Moon Circus and commander of the Dead Moon forces prior to Queen Nehellenia's release from her mirror. She was always accompanied by the creature known as Zircon.
The Materials Collection states that Zirconia's body looked like an insect's, without flesh, and that she had been alive for tens of thousands of years.
She was in charge of the Amazon Trio and, later, the Amazoness Quartet, but had a harder time with the latter group because the girls were more disrespectful and taunted her about her age.
Zirconia was possibly the physical manifestation of Queen Nehellenia's nightmare of growing old and ugly.
Musicals
In the musicals, Zirconia was played by Keiko Iseki and Kanami Sakai.
In the Sailor Moon SuperS Special Musical Show, there was a character called "Neo Zirconia" (ネオジルコニア), also played by Keiko Iseki.
Trivia
- In episode 143 of the first English dub, the Amazoness Quartet gave Zirconia several nicknames, such as "Zerc," "Zercie," "Zirco," and "Zerc the Jerk."
- In the first English, Portuguese, French, Hungarian, Greek, and Turkish dubs, Zirconia was changed to be male.
