Sailor Astarte was the Senshi form of first-year Juuban High School student Shiva Shingetsu Astarte, and the alternate form of the goddess Astarte. She was under the thrall of Lilith of Darkness, and was in the plans the priestess had for the Sailor Senshi and Bloody Dracul Vampir, as well as being the vessel for Lilith's powerful right hand man, Dark Cain, who managed to control her from time to time.
