Like her sisters, Bertie is obsessed with her looks, but she is the most intellectual of the four. Her colors and powers are matched with Sailor Mercury's. During one of the Dark Moon Family's schemes, she is pitted against Amy Mizuno in a chess tournament. Earlier in this episode, Bertie discovered the Amy was also Sailor Mercury, when Amy tranformed in front of her to prevent her from taking over a Crystal Point. Bertie did not play fair, and when she lost, she revealed her true identity. The other scouts arrive to help Sailor Mercury, but Bertie captures them and challenges Sailor Mercury to another chess match in which she can win her friends back as prizes. Every time Mercury loses a piece, she is frozen. When Bertie is about to win, Prizma and Avery suddenly arrive to take credit for everything. Tuxedo Kamen, however, arrives on the scene and frees the scouts. The two newly-arrived sisters flee, leaving Bertie to fend for herself. Deeply hurt and having lost the will to live, Bertie decides to freeze herself along with everyone around her. Catzy, her recently healed younger sister, arrives to convince Bertie that she is loved and cared for, and asks Sailor Moon to heal her sister. She does, and Bertie and Catzy live together happily as normal humans. The name Bertie was used only in the DiC dub of Sailor Moon. In the original Japanese version, her name is Berthier.

Beruche -- alternate and more widely used spelling of the name "Berthier." This encyclopaedia uses the spelling "Berthier."

Black Moon Clan -- The Black Moon Clan is a group of villains that appears in Sailor Moon R. They are from the future, from the planet Nemesis. They were exiled there because they rejected the power of the Moon Kingdom and Crystal Tokyo because they felt that the infinite power of the ginzuishou and its ability to provide eternal youth were immoral, so they rebelled. Their leader is Wiseman. Wiseman was once a human on Earth called the Death Phantom who turned Crystal Tokyo into a city of crime after many long years of total peace on Earth. Neo-Queen Serenity defeated him, but because of his power and because she no longer possessed the power she once had as a senshi, she exiled him to Nemesis, the tenth planet of the solar system, rather than killing him. There, he became one with the planet and created another form, Wiseman. In this form, he appeared to the members of the Black Moon Clan and appealed to their hatred of the Moon Kingdom by telling them that if they went to the planet Nemesis, he would give them the power of Death Hands and the third eye (given to Prince Demand). He manipulates the group and uses them to achieve his own goal, to absorb take over the galaxy. Those belonging to the Black Moon Clan can be easily identified by their distinctive inverted black crescent moon on their foreheads. However, when they are healed in the anime, these black moons disappear. The members of the group are as follows: Wiseman, Prince Demand, Saphir, Esmeraude, Rubeus, and the Ayakashi Sisters (Petz, Cooan, Calaveras, and Berthier). They are often called the Black Moon Clan, but this is incorrect. The Japanese word used to describe them is ichizoku, which can mean either "family" or "clan." They are not a "family," however, because they share no blood relation among them (except for Demand & Saphir, and the Ayakashi Sisters). Therefore, the term "clan" is preferred. In the DiC dub, they are called the Dark Moon Family.
