35 of 200) is known as the incarnation of the Goddess Serene

Transcription
of episode 44 of 200 for the American Version.
Queen Serenity and her royal court (the moon
people) were to protect the Silver Crystal and watch over
the evolution of the people on Earth. The people who lived
on the moon were blessed with the ability to live a long
life. "We are long-living life
forms born on the moon. Our mission is to protect the sacred
will passed down to us on the moon, the legendary Silver
Crystal, and to watch over and aid the progression and Earth's
evolution." ~ ADV translation of episode #44.
(This episode is called "The
Past Returns" in the American version)
Queen Serenity, the Moon Princess, and their
royal court, lived in a place called the Silver Millennium
(a paradise created at the pinnacle of the gods glory).
In the American Version,
the Moon Kingdom existed during the time of the Silver Millennium.
This was a time when all the planets and universe were at
peace. Every night there are parties and dancing. It was
a glorious time.
The Moon Kingdom is known as the Silver Millennium
in the Japanese version. Below are four pictures of the
Moon Kingdom/Silver Millennium.

Queen Serenity had one child, the Moon Princess
(known as Princess Serenity in the Japanese
version, known as Princess Serena in the American version).
The Moon Princess fell in love with a prince
from Earth (known as Prince Endymion in the
Japanese version, known as Prince Darien in the American
version).
The Moon Princess was to follow in the footsteps
of her mother and rule over the Moon Kingdom/Silver Millennium.
However, Queen Beryl brainwashed the people on Earth and
took advantage of the humans yearnings for the longevity
of the moon people. Thus with the 4
warriors of Queen Beryl and the brainwashed people of
Earth, they combined forces and attacked the Moon Kingdom/Silver
Millennium.
Right before that fateful attack, Prince
Endymion/Darien came to warn the Moon Princess of activities
on Earth. Even though Prince Endymion/Darien was an Earth
person, he still vowed to protect his one true love - the
Moon Princess. Then
after their last dance together, they went outside for their
final kiss.
In the American version,
Prince Darien warned Princess Serena of the impending battle
to come during their last dance. However, Prince Darien
stated that Queen Serenity knew that Prince Darien is not
a spy. In fact, Queen Serenity ASKED Prince Darien to help
protect the Moon Kingdom! That is why he is able to dance
with her.
Not too long afterwards, Queen Beryl's forces
attacked the Moon.
 By
the time Queen Serenity came to defend her daughter, she
was too late. The Moon Princess and Prince Darien/Endymion
were already killed by the evil Queen Beryl.
Queen Serenity did not want her daughter's
life to end this way. Thus she uses the last of her energy
and powers to seal away Queen Beryl inside the Silver
Crystal.
Before her death, she made one wish on the
Silver Crystal, that her daughter and everyone else can
find peace and happiness at a future time on Earth. Queen
Serenity then let the Silver Crystal float away and transformed
the Crescent Moon Wand into two time-capsules and placed
Luna and Artemis in them. Then lying on broken columns of
the once glorious palace (which looks like a Christian cross)
Queen Serenity passes away.
However, considering that Queen Serenity is
the incarnation of the Moon Goddess, Serene, she doesn't
just disappear forever. Queen Serenity does return to aid
Sailor Moon. She remains inside Sailor Moon's soul and appears
in the form below when needed most.
In the American version,
Queen Serenity never "died". She simply ran out
of energy when she sent everyone to a future time on Earth.
Queen Serenity is sad after her defeat of the Negaverse
because Princess Serena and her royal court will have no
memories of their happy time on the Moon. Queen Serenity
will also never be able to see her daughter again because
she is being sent into the future to be reborn on Earth.
She asks Luna and Artemis to keep an eye on the girls just
in case the Negaverse breaks free from the Silver Crystal.
Then Queen Serenity faints with hopes that they will all
meet again someday.
All American episodes
end with a special service announcment (such as: the Moon
Kingdom was trashed, so we must somehow keep our planet
clean so it doesn't get trashed) ^_^
