Editing Death Busters (section)

===Kaolinite===
{{nihongo|'''Kaolinite'''|カオリナイト|Kaorinaito}} is the Commander of the Witches 5 with the title of [[Magus]] ([[wiktionary:秘術師|秘術師]] / [[wiktionary:マグス|マグス]], ''Magusu''), named after the mineral of the [[Kaolinite|same name]]. Originally {{nihongo|'''Kaori Kuromine'''|黒峰カオリ|Kuromine Kaori}}, she was Tomoe's assistant before being infected with a Daimon Egg that consumes her humanity while pledging her loyalty to Pharaoh 90. Serving as Pharaoh 90's emissary, with access to Tairon Crystal, Kaolinite convinces Tomoe to offer himself and Hotaru to the Death Busters. Despite no longer being human, Kaolinite retained some of her former self like her infatuation with Tomoe. Posing as Mugen Academy's headmistress, communicating with Pharaoh 90 to relay his orders, Kaolinite directs the Witches 5 to deal with the Sailor Guardians and eventually take the Legendary Silver Crystal while also making attempts to prevent the awakening of Sailor Saturn whom she deemed a threat to her group. After the Witches 5 have all been killed and Mistress 9 had awakened, Kaolinite is given the task to kill the Sailor Guardians herself before the Outer Guardians intervene. This forces Kaolinite to assume her Daimon form prior to being destroyed by Super Sailor Moon's Rainbow Moon Heartache attack.

In the first anime adaptation, her role is changed to oversee the initial Death Buster attacks, Kaolinite seeks out the three Talismans to obtain the Legendary Holy Grail. Her Daimons having attacked [[Sailor Mars]], [[Sailor Mercury]], and [[Sailor Jupiter]] prior, Kaolinite targets Sailor Moon while deducing her identity and ends up appearing to fall to death from [[Tokyo Tower]] in the resulting battle. But Kaolinite survived, though she lost her memory and Tomoe placed her Hotaru's guardian.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tcp.com/doi/smoon/ |title=Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon |access-date=October 6, 2006 |last=Doi |first=Hitoshi |author-link=Hitoshi Doi |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060902105102/http://www.tcp.com/doi/smoon/ |archive-date=September 2, 2006 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Kaolinite eventually regains her memories, stealing Chibiusa's Pure Heart to offer to Mistress 9 so she can win Tomoe's love. But Kaolinite, after Tomoe congratulated her, is killed off when she is thrown into an electrified wall by Mistress 9 for "having served her purpose".

The [[Sailor Moon musicals|stage musicals]] follow the manga version, though no mention of what was occurring at the time of the lightning strike is made, and the event is not shown, only mentioned. The musicals imply Kaori to be her original name, as she is always addressed as Kaori-Kun in Hotaru's presence by Professor Tomoe who states she has been helping them out since, at least, his wife's death. In ''Usagi Ai no Senshi e no Michi'', she leads another set of minions, the [[#Death Nightmares|Death Nightmares]].

In ''Sailor Moon S'', she is voiced by [[Noriko Uemura]]. In ''Crystal'', she is voiced by Hikari Yono. In the Cloverway Inc. English adaptation, her name is changed to Kaorinite (though she retains her original name in her second incarnation) and is voiced by [[Kirsten Bishopric|Kirsten Bishop]]. In the Viz Media English adaptation, she is voiced by [[Tara Platt]]. In the musicals, Kaolinite is played by Keiko Hanayama, Mutsumi Fukuma, and Miki Kawasaki.
