diff.text: Dark Mercury has no intention of being a follower to anyone, and is always trying to pursue her own agenda, which is to kill her friends and become as strong as possible.<ref>Her refusal to be controlled is stated in Act 23.</ref> She shows blatant disrespect to Kunzite and the other ''[[Shitennou (Sailor Moon)|Shitennou]]'', even to [[Dark Kingdom#Queen Beryl|Queen Beryl]], perhaps because, unlike even the ''Shitennou'', she had been directly exposed to Metaria's power during her conversion, as opposed to having Queen Beryl or another [[wikt:intermediary|intermediary]] filtering it.
