Complications:
Motivation (Staying Young & Beautiful Forever)- Vain to the Nth degree, Queen Nehalennia reveled in the admiration her beauty gave her. Horrified to discover she would one day get old, she murdered everyone in her kingdom to gain eternal youth.
Motivation (Power)- Nehalennia desires not only the power of the Golden Crysta, but "the young man as well"- she wishes to make Helios hers.
Phobia (Aging)- Seeing herself as a wizened old crone again is horrifying for Nehalennia.

The Dark Queen in the Mirror:
-Queen Nehalennia (named for an ancient Goddess, and the spelling is all over the place so don't even bother trying to keep it consistent) is the Big Bad of Sailor Moon SuperS, though we don't really know her true purpose for ages. Hell, Naoko Takeuchi must have kept it a secret until the very end, because we know NOTHING about her until a couple of episodes before the Season Finale- she's just some Evil Queen hoping to gain Pegasus's power for herself. We don't see her at all for the first half, and it isn't until the Amazoness Quartet debut that we even see what she looks like- she's a smoking-hot Demon MILF with elf-ears, purple Narrow Mature Woman Eyes Of Evil, and long, long hair. She appears to her minion Zirconia from behind a mirror, and grows more and more impatient with all the failures. Finally, we learn that she's after the "Golden Crystal", held by Pegasus... who is actually Helios, Guardian of Elysion.
-Finally... FINALLY... we get some backstory for the Queen- as the ruler of her own land in the ancient past, she desired not only the Crystal, but "The Prince himself", as she wanted Helios (despite him being suuuuuuuuuper young-looking compared to her). But with her darkness being sensed by Queen Serenity, she was exiled to the "Dead Moon", living in darkness for centuries. Finally, she gained access to our world via using the dreams of the Amazoness Quartet to power her arrival. And they invaded Elysion and captured Helios, who cast off his essence as "Pegasus", lying wait in the beautiful dreams of an innocent person. And it turns out that Zirconia is the embodiment of her greatest fear- growing old and ugly.
-See, it turns out that the Queen gives her full backstory in the VERY last episode of SuperS- she describes her life as a beautiful Queen (complete with Round Eyes Of Beautiful Youth) and fawning subjects, but how gazing into a mirror made her realize she was doomed to turn into a wrinkled old purple crone. Fearful, she consumed the Dream Mirrors of her entire kingdom, giving her eternal youth and turning the entire land into a sea of Living Corpses (the weirdos that make up the Dead Moon Circus). So her desire is to never grow old, while Chibi-Usa's dream in this season is to grow older and see what life holds- a contrast between villainess and heroine. Zirconia had captured Chibi-Usa and the Queen used her to capture Pegasus for real, gaining the Crystal and absorbing the dreams of all humanity. Finally, however, the Queen is beaten- when she betrays the Quartet, they spitefully steal the Golden Crystal back from her- Chibi-Usa does a "Clap If You Believe!" thing and empowers all Earth's young dreams to give the Crystal more power, and the Queen is beaten and turned into a crone. Finally, she is re-exiled back to the Dead Moon- trapped in the mirror, she retains her beauty, so is at least partially satisfied.
-Curiously, however, we would not see the last of her! Sailor Stars, the final season of the show, would tack on an extra "Nehalennia Redux" arc, as she's empowered by Sailor Galaxia, the ultimate Big Bad! Eventually she'd get a "Redemption Arc" of her very own!
Manga Nehalennia:
-In the manga, the Queen is seen as the dark mirror image of Queen Serenity. She is the queen of the "Dark Center of the Moon", having existed for centuries. When Princess Serenity was born, Nehalennia just Maleficents in and is all "HEY YOU FUCKERS!", but Queen Serenity seals her away with the Moon Stick. Trapped in a dark mirror, Nehalennia cast a curse that the Moon Kingdom would fall, and the Princess would never inherit the throne- the backstory for the invasion of the Dark Kingdom. Laying in wait, she breaches her prison during a solar eclipse and brainwashes Sailor Chibi-Moon's four sleeping guardians, the Sailor Quartet, and turns them into her minions. Desiring the Silver Crystal, she invades Elysion and takes over the world of Dreams, capturing Helios in the process- he enters Chibi-Usa's dreams to hide out, and finally the Golden Crystal is found within Mamoru's body, and Nehalennia is defeated by Eternal Sailor Moon, who shrivels her into a wizened old woman, then traps her in a mirror once more. She never reappears, so the big Sailor Stars arc was merely filler. Hell, I think this version is even more awesome.
Nehalennia's Power:
-The Queen's powers are a bit tricky to figure out- as a fighter, she mostly engaged with the Sailors while empowered by the Golden Crystal (which gave her the power to easily deflect their best attacks with a shield of energy). But she casts spider webs over much of Tokyo, capturing Pegasus wipes the world of dreams, and she can definitely blast away even without the Crystal- she easily takes out both the Sailors and the Amazoness Quartet in this way.
