Information[]
In the 1st season, Mikan was targeted by Jadeite as a plan to gather energy for the Dark Kingdom. While she was taking a shower in her apartment, she was attacked by the youma, Derella, who then took on her likeness. It then assists Jadeite in the Cinderella Caravan, a talent show for people to become a celebrity. Derella sends out a beam and hypnotizes everyone nearby into taking part. At the auditions, she passes everyone.
Later, the fake Mikan begins to drain energy from the people performing at the real event. Sailor Moon appears and Derella reveals her true self. After a brief battle, the youma is destroyed, and everyone, including the real Mikan, wakes up.
