Sailor Anzu
Sailor Anzu is the identity of a being who often takes the form of an evil version of Sailor Quinox. Though often defeated, she reappears again and again throughout Quinox's career.
Origin?
The actual origin of Anzu is almost a complete mystery. One Anzu claimed that she has been a part of the universe since it's creation, while another hinted that she only exists because Quinox exists and is some sort of balance, being the shadow to Quinox's light. When Matsumi asked the spirit of Queen Minerva for advice on the matter, the deceased monarch hinted that she may have dealt with Anzu in some form long ago but she was not clear on the matter. Whatever the case was, Anzu tends to appear in some form or the other, almost never with the same origin but always with same goal: to destroy everything Matsumi loves.
Sailor Anzu I
The first Sailor Anzu to appear did so during Matsumi's early college years. Acting as the head of a force of creatures which she called Antiroids, she went out of her way to try and make Matsumi's life misirable, targetting those she knew as well as any new friends she made. This was made even more difficult, do to Matsumi finding that her powers were suddenly becoming unstable. Eventually, Anzu revealed herself to actually be Matsumi Kaze herself or rather her dark side, given form by the Loadstone through her own subconcious. After a battle (in which Matsumi inadvertently transformed to Eternal form for the first time), Matsumi eventually managed to convince her other self to re-merge with her, ending her terrifying reign and once more fully powering Sailor Quinox.
Sailor Anzu II
The second Sailor Anzu appeared several weeks after, when Matsumi became aware of vigilante activities which had suddenly turned violent, resulting in several deaths of both criminals and innocents. After investigating, Matsumi learned this Sailor Anzu was in fact Tomiko Amano, an unhinged fellow college student with an obessesion for Sailor Quinox and who had been attempting to copy her idol (she had chosen the name Anzu by random). Having learned about the Cosmic Loadstone from observation and rumor, the almost completely insane girl took Matsumi's college roommate hostage and attempted to force her to hand it over. Though Quinox was ultimatly able to save her friend, Anzu managed to get a hold of the crystal, but being only human and with the powerful gem rejecting her, she was consumed and killed by the energies from it. These events caused Matsumi to temporarly give up on being a senshi.
Sailor Anzu III
The third Sailor Anzu attacked during this period when Matsumi had given up on being a hero. This Anzu attacked the college that Matsumi went to while she was away, taking over the faculty and students for her own gain, transforming many of them into beings called Kage. Through encouragement by Freya and help from Hideki Kaze, who she finally reunited with, Sailor Quinox was finally able to follow Anzu to another dimension of shadow and darkness. This Anzu claimed to be the true Anzu and the power behind the previous ones, though Quinox doubted this to be true. Eventually by combining her powers with now revealed Quinox Knight, the two were able to destroy this Anzu once and for all, freeing her classmates and teachers in the process.
Sailor Anzu IV
It would be many years before another Anzu appeared but this one may have been the most clever of them all. This one attacked and plagued the occupants of The Hotel, where Matsumi now resided. Realizing though that she would not be able to fight them all off, Sailor Anzu experimented on herself, transforming herself into a digital form and then infecting her own computer systems. When a group from The Hotel went to investigate her headquarters, she transferred herself to one of their machines when they attempted to examine her own systems. From there, she hopped into the mainframe of The Hotel itself, taking over it fully and attempting to destroy the entirety of Tokyo with the structure's Eye of Harmony. Eventually this Anzu revealed herself to be a version of Matsumi Kaze from a dead timeline, having somehow survived it and bitter that she had lost everything. Though the entire Hotel tried to fight her off, it was through the actions of an unknown being that Anzu was finally defeated, sent to another universe like her own and her actions completely undone.
