Biography[]
Once a member of the Earth Kingdom, she fell in love with Prince Endymion, but was heartbroken to find that he loved Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom. This led to Beryl crossing paths with Queen Metalia, who offered to give her the means to exact revenge by declaring open war on Silver Millennium itself. Ultimately, having gathered a large majority of Earth Kingdom residents to join her campaign, Beryl ended up killing Endymion in a fit of rage, leading to Princess Serenity's tragic suicide before Queen Serenity put a stop to Metalia's evil.
However, Beryl reincarnated in present day and was subconsciously guided to the ruins of the Earth Kingdom at D-Point in the Arctic. There, Beryl undid Serenity's seal on Metalia and regained her memories as she established the Dark Kingdom with Endymion's four knights Jadiete, Nephrite, Zoicite, and Kunzite as her Four Kings of Heaven. While claiming to seek the Legendary Silver Crystal for Metalia, using the being's power to revive Endymion as her thrall, Beryl actually intended to betray her benefactor and use the crystal's power for her own agenda. But Beryl was killed when Sailor Moon used the Moon Kingdom's sacred blade to destroy the necklace that bound Beryl to the mortal coil.

Trivia[]
- Her live-action actress Aya Sugimoto portrayed Maria S. Cranberry, a character feartured in the tokusatsu series Kamen Rider W.
- In the Super Famicom/Nintendo video game "Sailor Moon: Another Story", it is revealed that she used to be a sage before she became a queen of the Dark Kingdom after joining forces with Queen Metalia.
- While she was a villain in the manga, she was an ultimately tragic figure who was manipulated by Metalia into her crimes in her past and current incarnations, and ultimately doomed not by her villainy, but her own belief that she was beyond redemption at this point. In the 1990s anime, she is a straight-up evil villain who willingly and loyally serves Metalia.
