  == Youma Information ==
  '''(Black) Widow''' was a female spider-like [[youma]] recruited by [[Neflite|Nephrite]] as part of his efforts in reawakening the ruler of the [http://images.wikia.com/common/releases_200910.3/extensions/wikia/Wysiwyg/fckeditor/editor/fckeditor.html?InstanceName=wpTextbox1&Toolbar=Default&city=537&cb=14066 Dark Kingdom (Negaverse)] [[Negaforce|Queen Metalia (the Negaforce)]]. Nephrite who was disguised as Maxfield Stanton noticed from his car the potential amount of energy from the home economics teacher (of [[Sailor Mercury|Ami Mizuno (Amy Anderson)]], [[Sailor Moon|Usagi (Serena) Tsukino]] and [[Naru Osaka| Naru Osaka (Molly Baker)]]) Miss Higure Akiyama (Helen Lambert) had to offer in planning her wedding.  After performing intonation with the stars inside his hideout, [[Neflite|Nephrite]] arrived at a discount store Miss Higure Akiyama (Helen Lambert) was attending to commend her for “finding” a stretch of quality silk fabric (with the aid of Haruna). [[Neflite|Nephrite]] then used his evil crest to implant his [[youma]]’s essence inside Miss Higure Akiyama (Helen Lambert) chosen fabric, thereby making her obsessed with perfecting her wedding dress for an upcoming handmade wedding dress contest which she wishes to participate in. [[Luna]] suspected [[Dark Kingdom]] activity when [[Sailor Moon|Usagi (Serena) Tsukino]], [[Naru Osaka| Naru Osaka (Molly Baker)]] and herself witness a rather rude Miss Higure Akiyama (Helen Lambert) refusing her fiancé’s gift of flowers. [[Luna]]’s suspicions are confirmed when Miss Higure Akiyama (Helen Lambert) sabotages the handmade wedding dress contest at Juban Hall by using the hypnosis power of the [[youma]] to steal the energy of the audience inside the hall. The hypnosis power of the [[youma]] subsequently caused the energy level of Miss Higure Akiyama (Helen Lambert) to peak and allow the [[youma]] to emerge from “her hiding place within the fabric  <ref>URL=”http://www.fortunecity.com/rivendell/everquest/90/W/widow.html”</ref> where she drained the woman of her energy <ref>URL=”http://www.fortunecity.com/rivendell/everquest/90/W/widow.html”</ref>. [[Sailor Mercury|Ami Mizuno (Amy Anderson)]], [[Sailor Moon|Usagi (Serena) Tsukino]] and [[Sailor Mars|Rei (Raye) Hino]] who infiltrated the contest transformed into [[Sailor Mercury]], [[Sailor Moon]] and [[Sailor Mars]] and the proceeded in battle with the [[youma]]. Unfortunately, the [[youma]] drew first blood and manages to emit from her mouth a strand of webbing which managed to bind [[Sailor Moon]]. [[Sailor Mercury]] used her ''Sabão Spray (Mercury bubbles)'' as a smokescreen so [[Sailor Mars]] can use her ''Fire Soul (Mars Fire Ignite)'' attack to “destroy the binding web which is encasing [[Sailor Moon]]<ref>URL=”http://www.soul-hunter.com/sailormoon/profiles/villains/motd/widow.php “</ref>” and free [[Sailor Moon]] in the process.
  "(Black) Widow rushes through [[Sailor Mercury]]'s mist, confused about where the girls are<ref>URL="http://www.soul-hunter.com/sailormoon/profiles/villains/motd/widow.php"</ref>". In a desperate attempt, she again emits a strand of webbing from her mouth. But this is no match for [[Sailor Moon]] who finally destroys the [[youma]] with her [[Moon Tiara Magic|Moon Tiara]]. "Miss Higure Akiyama (Helen Lambert) and the other people left unconscious in Juban Hall awaken with no recollection of what happened <ref>URL="http://www.soul-hunter.com/sailormoon/profiles/villains/motd/widow.php"</ref>".
