The Story
Aluminum Seiren killed the Sailor Soldier of her home planet Mermaid, Sailor Mermaid. Sailor Galaxia had promised her that she would receive a Sailor Crystal of her own and, in result, become a true Sailor Soldier with a planet of her own. When she appeared she was searching for the Sailor Crystals, just like the other Sailor Anima-mates. She managed to killed Mercury and Jupiter in battle. It was Starfighter who finally killed this fake Sailor Soldier.
Mythology
In Greek mythology, the Sirens are creatures with the head of a female and the body of a bird. They were regarded as the daughters of Phorcys, or the storm god Achelous. According to Ovid, they were nymphs and the play-mates of Persephone. They were present when she was abducted and, because they did not interfere, Demeter changed them into birds with female faces (Ovid V, 551).
The idea of mermaids and mermen, the male equivalent, could be based on creatures from Greek and Babylonian mythology: Sirens and Tritons of the Greeks, and the fish gods, who were half human and half fish, from the Babylonians.
Sailor Mermaid, while only mentioned in the manga and never show still exisited so it was only proper that I put her mythology here. Her star seed was stolen by Sailor Aluminum Siren. In the anime, when Seiren wrote a note to Sailormoon she drew a mermaid version of her self as the signature. Mermaids and Siren were similar in mythology which would be the reason behind Aluminum Seiren being the one who took Mermaid's Sailor Crystal.
