Movie
Description
Peruru, also known as Perle, is a fairy character who appears exclusively in the animated film Sailor Moon SuperS: The Movie, sometimes referred to as the Black Dream Hole movie. He is part of a small group of fairies who serve Queen Badiane, the film's antagonist, and he is the younger brother of the fairy Poupelin, also spelled Pupulan. Along with two other fairies, Banane and Orangeat, Peruru is sent to Earth to help carry out Badiane's plan of gathering children.
In manner and temperament, Peruru is a happy-go-lucky fairy who almost always wears a smile. He presents himself as friendly and harmless, which makes it easy for him to approach children. Early in the story he is seen spending time near a sweets shop, where he observes people coming and going and notes that they seem happier as they leave. This detail reflects his gentle, observant nature and his growing attachment to the small joys of ordinary human life.
The stated purpose of the fairies' mission is to lead children into a dream world where everyone would be happy. In reality, Queen Badiane intends to place the children in Dream Coffins and use the energy of their dreams to power the Black Dream Hole. Peruru initially goes along with this mission, but he soon begins to doubt it. Unlike the other fairies, who follow their orders without question, Peruru feels uneasy about the forceful methods being used and about taking children away from their friends and families.
Peruru's motivations are rooted in compassion. His heart is with the children, and he is troubled by the deception behind the promise of happy dreams. His doubts grow stronger after he meets Chibiusa, the young guardian also known as Sailor Chibi Moon, who is called Rini in some English versions. Their meeting takes place at a sweets shop, where Peruru impresses her with his skill at playing the flute. The friendship that forms between them becomes a turning point for him.
As the story develops, Peruru openly confronts his brothers and the other fairies, asking why they have resorted to such harsh methods and reminding them that it goes against the ways of fairies. His brother and the others, however, remain loyal to Badiane. Peruru chooses to turn away from the mission and eventually helps the Sailor Guardians in their fight against Queen Badiane. In this way, his role shifts from agent of the villain to helper of the heroes.
After Badiane is defeated, Peruru departs peacefully. He thanks the Sailor Guardians and Chibiusa for their help, Chibiusa gives him a kiss on the cheek, and he drifts away while telling her that they will meet again. His exit leaves open the possibility of a future return and closes his arc on a gentle note.
In terms of abilities, Peruru is a fairy capable of flight, and his flute playing is a notable part of his character. His role also connects him to dream energy, as he is associated with the Sugar Energy of children, the substance the fairies are sent to collect and protect. His powers are presented less as combat abilities and more as the quiet, magical qualities suited to a dream-related fairy.
