Princess Kakyuu
Princess Kakyuu is from the planet Kimoku. She is a Princess more like how Bunny is a princess rather than how the other scouts are Princesses being that Kakyuu has guardians like how Bunny has guardians. The planet Kinmoku is in another galaxy, however planet Kinmoku was attacked in the Sailor Wars by Chaos / Evil Sailor Galaxia. Princess Kakyuu fled to Earth where she felt she would be safe, and her guardians, Star Fighter, Star Maker and Star Healer went after her to protect her. We don't see Princess Kakyuu until the 5th and final season of Sailor Moon, Sailor Stars, and also she is only in the very last few episodes.Sailor Kakyuu's planet power comes from the planet Kinmoku. She is only in the Manga version of Sailor Moon, hence the manga only pictures. Sailor Kakyuu is Princess Kakyuu's Sailor form and she has the powers of her guardians the Sailor Starlights as well as her own. Like how Sailor Moon draws on the power of the other sailor scouts, Sailor Kakyuu can draw on the power of the Sailor Starlights. Her two attacks are translated to: "Starlights Royal Straight Flush!!" and "Kinmoku Fusion Tempest!" Both of these attacks are in the above pictures, "Starlights Royal Flush!!" is the one with the cards and "Kinmoku Fusion Tempest!" is the one with all the flowers.
Sailor Cosmos
Sailor Cosmos is a character who is only in the Manga version of Sailor Moon. She is the "Guardian Cosmos. Guardian and holy spirit of the Cosmos Seed." Sailor Cosmos is the future Sailor Moon's ultimate form. She comes back into the past to change the choise that she had made as Usagi at the Galaxy Cauldron. Sailor Cosmos comes to the Earth in the form of Chibi Chibi so as not to confuse everyone, being that she is a future form of Usagi. Her story goes like this, as told by her in the Manga. "From an overwhelming future, where I lost the war to Sailor Chaos, I gave up everything and ran away. Repeated massacres, a long, painful war... The enemy that appeared, the strong, enormous Sailor Chaos... With the way of fighting we had used, we didn't stand a chance. Even if we defeated it, even if we returned the peace of before, the damage taken, the price we paid, would be too much. Too far-reaching. We couldn't do it. I don't know anymore, why there are wars. What is right. What should I do? When I'm lost, when I'm hurt, I remember. The war here. Back then at the Cauldron. (she is referring to her past life when she was Eternal Sailor Moon) If I had eliminated it, would the pain, would the war have ended? After regretting it so many times, I came here. (Here she is referring to how she changed into Chibi Chibi when she came to Earth) To make it right this time. The me of here, too, was all alone. (Now she is referring to Usagi) Always suffering. So I was always by her side, to support her. I was going to make her choose the right path this time.... But I knew. The chosen path was not a mistake. Nobody can destroy the place where stars are born. Because of this place, we can continue living. Time and time again, we can start over. I won't run away anymore. I'll go ahead to the future. Because I was blessed with great power by Eternal Sailor Moon. All the courage and strength to stand alone, the courage and strength to accept everything! I had forgotten it. The matchless strength!"
Luna
Luna is Usagi's guardian cat. She is black and has a little crescent symbol on her forehead.
Like Artemis, Luna is from the planet Mau. She left her home planet to become a guardian cat. Luna has to nag Usagi about her schoolwork and about being a good Sailor Senshi often. This job can be tiring, but it does get better as Usagi becomes more mature. Luna gives the Senshi their transformation pens and communicators, as well as the other little knick-knacks that they use as Sailor Senshi.
Usagi finds Luna one day as she is walking to school. Some kids had put a band-aid over Luna's forehead, so Luna had lost her ability to speak and understand. Usagi removed the band-aid, and Luna recognized Usagi as the one to become a Sailor Senshi.
Later on Luna reveals to Usagi that she is the Champion of Justice, Sailor Moon! Luna helps Usagi to fight by training her and guiding her. Luna also helps Usagi find the other Sailor Senshi.
Luna has a very cute relationship with Artemis, in my opinion. She beats on him easily but clearly loves him. Like Usagi and Mamoru, Luna and Artemis have a daughter in the future. Her name is Diana.
In the anime, Luna is the only cat to turn into her human form. This happens in the Sailor Moon S movie. This movie is really cute, and if you haven't seen it yet, it's worth watching. The movie focuses quite a bit on Luna.
In the manga, all of the cats turn to their human form. Along with Artemis and Diana, Luna dies in Sailor Stars. She is reincarnated again, though.
Artemis
Artemis is the first guardian cat to appear, just as Sailor Venus was the first senshi to appear. He appeared in the Codename Sailor V manga story. He is the guardian cat of Sailor Venus.
A clue to Artemis's origin appears in the Sailor V manga. A villain named Nyan Nyan, who can transform from cat to human, claims to be the princess of the cat world. If it is assumed the this cat world is the same from which Luna and Artemis came from, then they came from "Mau." Uniquely, Mau is the Egyptian name for cat.
Just like all of the Sailor Moon names, Artemis is a unique name. Artemis is named after the Greek goddess of the hunt. Minako teases Artemis about having a female name in the manga.
During the SuperS arc of the Sailor Moon story, Artemis transforms to human. At this time, you learn that Minako and Artemis share the same soul. Minako is able to transform to her next level (Super Sailor Venus) only when Artemis has reached the point where he can transform to a human. There are also other times during the manga where Artemis transforms to human.
Later in the manga we find out that Artemis's star crystal is equal in strength to that of the Sailor Senshi. Because of this, they are able to be reincarnated in the 30th century after being killed by Lethe. He is, however, never killed in the anime.
Artemis and Luna do have a daughter from the 30th century, as do Usagi and Mamoru. Her name is Diana.
Diana
Diana is the daughter of Luna and Artemis, from the future. She is ChibiUsa's guardian cat. Diana must of have been raised with great manners; this shows as she is very polite to all of the senshi. Although she is ChibiUsa's guardian, she also seems to have a great liking for Mamoru.
Diana transforms into a human during a battle, and dies in the manga while saving her parents from Tin Nyanko. In the anime, the cats never die. Also Diana never becomes human in the anime. Interesting fact: Diana is the only cat who still has a tail in her human form.
Phobos and Deimos
Phobos and Deimos are Sailor Mars's partners. They are also Sailor Senshi: Sailor Phobos and Sailor Deimos. They are twins and are from the planet Coronis. Note: This is the same planet that Sailor Lead Crow is from.
Rei first meets these two crows when she arrives to live with her grandfather at the Hikawa Temple. She was very thrilled to find two crows in the garden. Rei named them Phobos and Deimos.
Phobos and Deimos first appear in their human form to Rei. This is when Rei is unconcious after a tiff with the Dead Moon Circus. Phobos and Deimos awaken Rei and give her her Mars Crystal. This crystal allows her to transform in to Super Sailor Mars.
Only one other time do the two crows appear in their human form. This is when Sailor Lead Crow asks them to appear before her. The two crows are surprised by her title as a Sailor Senshi, and that their planet Coronis already had its own Sailor Senshi. Sailor Lead Crow attacks them and ends up killing them.
Phobos and Deimos are a very important part to the manga storyline. They allow Rei to become Super Sailor Mars. They also communicate danger to her. Their deep relationship with Rei is not portrayed well at all in the anime. In the anime the only thing they really do is attack Usagi when sensing an evil presence. They never become human in the anime.

Helios/Pegasus
Helios lived on earth in a secret location called Elusion. He lived there to protect the Golden Crystal and everyone's dreams. At some time an evil queen, Neherenia, came and tried to persuade Helios that with the Golden Crystal, they could both rule the galaxy together. Helios told her,
"The Golden Crystal chooses who it should belong to. If you have a beautiful dream, you'll have this stone. If you don't, you'll be punished as a person with a bad mind." And so sacred flames burst from the crystal proventing the queen from taking it, and so she left without the crystal or the boy. Later the queen returned and captured Helios. Elusion was taken over by the Dead Moon Circus and turned into blackness. The animals died and Helios' temple was overtaken by black roses. She took Helios and kept him captive inside a cage where he was tied up by webs, he just hung, as in a sleep.
One day Helios saw a shine that was a beautiful dream. He created an illusion of a pegasus and it flew towards the light. Pegasus found it and hid itself inside the dream. Just who's dream was it? It was Chibiusa's dream of becoming an adult. Pegasus appeared in a dream Chibiusa had and told her to never speak to anyone of their encounter.
Later Pegasus appeared to help Sailor Moon and Chibimoon and so he powered them up and gave them new weapons. He gave Chibiusa the Crystal Clarion to call him whenever they needed his help beating the enemy. Pegasus also powered up the senshi later, they got new transformation sticks and new attacks. After a while Pegasus gave Chibiusa a beautiful orb on a stand. It was called the Stallion Stable.
Through the Stallion Stable Pegasus could talk to Chibiusa outside of dreams. Chibiusa loved to talk to Pegasus and they both fell in love.
One day when the battle with the enemy was heating up, they managed to capture Sailor Chibimoon. Chibimoon was kept in the same area where Helios was and she tried to free him. Neherenia tied her up in webs and took the Golden Crystal from Helios. Helios helps out the senshi while fighting against Neherenina and saved Sailor Moon and Chibimoon from being killed. In the end Helios has to go back to Elusion and said goodbye to Mamoru and the girls, he said goodbye to Chibiusa by kissing her hand, and Chibiusa hugged him.
Then he turned into Pegasus and flew away.
