They dwell in the castles during their abscence, which was seen in volume 16, act 45, when they visited their castles in order to put up a shield around the solar system.

The Sailor Power Guardians


All of the princesses have their own Sailor Power Guardian. The Sailor Power Guardians looks like miniature figure of themselves and have the ability to speak. They dwell in the princesses castles, which was seen in volume 16, act 45, when Pluto, Uranus and Neptune visited their castles. Even though not seen, it is most likely that there is a guardian in the other castles as well. The Sailor Power Guardians appear whenever their princess needs their assistance.

The Castles

Neptune - Triton Uranus - Miranda Pluto - Charon
All of the princesses have their own castle, but only Uranus', Pluto's and Neptune's castles are ever seen. In volume 16, act 45, it was revealed that the Sailor Power Guardians resided in Pluto's, Uranus' and Neptune's castles. It is most likely that the other princesses' castles are inhabited by their respective Sailor Power Guardian as well.

Not much are known about the interiors about the castles, but some parts of Neptune's, Pluto's and Uranus' castles were revealed in volume 16, act 45. The floors seemed to be made of tiles of reflective glass, and each of their castles had a communcation system which let them communicate with the other princesses' castles.

Each castle has its own name, which all were derived from the planets' moons, except from the castles of Princess Venus and Princess Mercury. As Mercury and Venus doesn't have any moons, the princesses castles were instead named after an unnamed space mission program (Mercury, Mariner) and a probe (Venus, Magellan).

The list of the castles' names are as follows:

  • Princess Mercury: Mariner
  • Princess Mars: Phobos Deimos
  • Princess Jupiter: Io
  • Princess Venus: Magellan
  • Princess Pluto: Charon
  • Princess Uranus: Miranda
  • Princess Neptune: Triton
  • Princess Saturn: Titan
