The Story
In the circus tent that appeared in Tokyo on the day of the solar eclipse there was a band of strange circus performers. On a dais raised high above the others appears a strange creature calling for the Amazon Trio. It is Zirconia, the one who leads the Dead Moon Circus for their beautiful Queen Nehellenia. Zirconia commanded the Trio to seek out those with beautiful dreams, to find the one who was hiding Pegasus. When the Trio's usefullness wore out she allowed the Amazones Quartetto to send a lemures to kill them.

Zirconia seemed to be an impatient woman. She did not care for failure from the Amazon Trio or the Amazones Quartetto. The reason for this might be from the pressure to please her queen. The queen's anger made her cringe in fear. Her happiness was to see the queen's reflection in the mirror. Her new followers were rowdy children, unwilling to listen to her commands. The Quartetto would even go as far as to torture Zirconia's little winged eyeball creature, Zircon. Unfortunately for her, Nehellenia seemed to like the girls and Zirconia was left to babysit them (so to speak). Zirconia was eventually wiped out by Nehellenia herself when she broke the seal of her curse and exited from the mirror world.

New Speculations:
I am starting to believe that Queen Nehellenia and Zirconia are one and the same person. Zirconia's name sake, the Cubic Zirconia, is considered a fake diamond. It has less sparkle and brilliance than a real diamond, but more fire and color. I believe that is a hint to a connection between the two women. Also, as Queen Nehellenia prepares to break from her seal in the mirror, she asks what makes Zirconia happy. Zirconia tells her it is seeing Nehellenia in the mirror everday. Nehellenia says she doesn't want to see Zirconia in the mirror anymore. She breaks out of the mirror and Zirconia disappears. This here seems to be a huge hint. Queen Nehellenia always stated she did not want to become ugly and old. Zirconia seeing a young beautiful version of herself would make her happy whereas Queen Nehellenia seeing an old ugly version of herself would make her angry. When Nehellenia breaks free, the two cannot exist in the same place at the same time so one of them has to disappear. Also, later Nehellenia becomes ugly and old and a Zirconia creature even extends from her stomache.
