  '''Queen Beryl''' was the first major villain of [[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon]]. Like many ''Sailor Moon'' villains, she is named after a mineral - the gemstone [[wikipedia:beryl|beryl]]. 
  
  She was only a queen in the [[dub]]bed version of [[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (anime)|the anime]] - in the original Japanese, she was an evil sorceress.

  In [[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (anime)|the anime]] [[dub]], Queen Beryl was the queen of the [[Negaverse]]. Her goal was to find the [[Imperium Crystal]]&nbsp;and take ovre the universe. Her four generals were named [[Jedite]] (Jadeite), [[Neflite]] (Nephrite), [[Zoycite]] (Zoisite), and [[Malachite]] (Kunzite). 
  
  For the first twenty episodes, Beryl was trying to collect energy for the [[Negaforce]]. First Jedite would attempt to steal energy from groups of people by attaching items charged with dark energy to them, only to be thwarted repeatedly by Sailor Moon. She issued Jedite an ultimatim in Episode 10, that if he failed to destroy the Sailor Scouts, he would be condemned to Eternal Sleep, a horrible punishment involving the victim being permanently frozen, and then "condemned for the most profound darkness forever". Jedite was defeated in the end, so Queen Beryl gave him his Eternal Sleep and put Neflite in charge. Neflite tried to gather energy from one person at a time, but was foiled by Sailor Moon each time. Once Beryl threatened him (and later Zoycite) with the same fate as Jedite.
  
  After Neflite betrayed the Negaverse (and was subsequently killed), Beryl managed to get some energy for the Negaforce, who proceeded to give her a new task: Find the seven Rainbow Crystals to get the Imperium Silver Crystal. She assigned Zoycite with this task, though Tuxedo Mask got some of the crystals, and Sailor Moon got a few but was forced to hand them over to Zoycite. Soon Beryl wanted Darien/Tuxedo Mask turned evil, and Zoycite challenged him to a duel over the crystals, but doublecrossed him. First, Malachite appeared and took all the crystals. Then, against Beryl's orders, Zoycite tried to kill Tuxedo Mask, and was subsequently killed by Queen Beryl as punishment. In the end, Sailor Moon got the Imperium Silver Crystal, though Beryl did manage to turn Darien evil.
  
  As Sailor Moon possessed the Imperium Silver Crystal, Queen Beryl assigned Malachite and Darien to find Sailor Moon and get the crystal back from her, though they refused to work together. Soon Darien was healed by Sailor Moon but recaptured by Malachite and turned evil again by Beryl. Before the latter happened, however, Malachite was killed by Sailor Moon, and the Sailor Scouts headed over to the Negaverse. Beryl sent the Doom and Gloom Girls after them, and all but Sailor Moon were destroyed, including the Doom and Gloom Girls. Beryl transported Sailor Moon to the Negaverse and arranged a fight between her and Darien. She was able to heal him using the locket, however, and as Beryl attempted to throw a giant spike at them, he threw a rose at her, shattering the spike and hitting her directly. While asking the Negaforce to help her win, she was deemed "nearly as incompetent as her minions" (whom she had often threatened or chastised for their repeated failures) and then given one last chance as she was possessed by the Negaforce, transforming into a gigantic Queen Beryl. She fought Sailor Moon, who transformed into Princess Serena and destroyed Beryl using Cosmic Moon Power.
  
  Following Queen Beryl's defeat, the other Sailor Scouts returned, although they and Serena lost all memory of being friends or Sailor Scouts, until the time came at the beginning of Sailor Moon R.
  
  It is revealed in Sailor Moon R that Alan and Ann knew Queen Beryl, who told them about Earth at one point.
  
  === Trivia ===
  
  
  
  [[File:Beryl_dies.jpg|thumb|120px|Beryl is destroyed]]
  
  
  *Beryl is one of two characters whose death is referred to as "blasted back&nbsp;to the Negaverse" (despite the fact that her destruction, in fact, took place inside the Negaverse itself), in her case both by Sailor Moon at the end of Episode 40, and by the narrator in the pilot episode of ''Sailor Moon R'' (but not by Artemis). The other is [[Derela]], the monster from Episode 4.
  *Malachite is stronger than Beryl, but never turned on her after she killed Zoycite.
  *Beryl seems to speak in a sad voice when describing how the Seven Shadows were imprisoned.
