Rei Hino/Sailor Mars
"I will vanquish you!! I am Sailor Mars!" ~Name: Rei Hino ~Japanese Name: Hino Rei (hee-noh ray) ~Meaning: Spirit of Fire, or Soul of Fire ~Birthday: April 17 ~Favorite Colors: Red and Black ~Favorite Animal: Panda ~Favorite Food: Sushi ~Least Favorite Food: Canned Asparagus ~Favorite Subject: Ancient Writing ~Least Favorite Subject: Modern Society ~Hobbies: fortune-telling, meditating, reading ~Strong Points: Dedication to the cause, keeps everyone in line ~Has trouble with: Televison ~Dreams: To become a head preistess ~Gemstone: Ruby Much like the other Scouts, Rei had a pretty funky life even before she became a Sailor Scout. Her mother died while giving birth to her, and her father is a politition who travels abroad. Because her father travels so much, Rei stays with her Grandfather at the Cherry Hill temple, where she is training to be a preistess. She attends Brookedale Girls Private School, a catholic school her dad wanted her to go to. The girls there all respect and admire her because of her authority at the temple, but she doesn't have any real friends there because they're afraid of her mystical powers. As a part of her training, Rei has learned how to read the 'sacred fire' and ask it questions. She also can sense evil/good forces in people/places/things. When she feels evil vibes, she says something to the effect of: "I sense an evil force here! It must be banished!" Then she pulls out a little scroll called an ofuda and pins it on the sorce of evil, banishing the evil by doing so. In the Japanese version, she chants 8 words and yells "AKURYU TAISAN!!" which means "Evil Spirit Begone!!" Makes sense. But the DiC dub probably thought this was satanic or something and changed it to "Fire Balls Charge!" As I said before, Rei lives at the Cherry Hill Temple with her Grandpa. One night she found a homeless guy, who later claimed to be a famous rock star, named Chad sleeping out on the front steps of the temple. She and her Grandpa took him in. He fell in love with Rei the first second he saw her. He decided to stay at the temple and be trained by Grandpa so he could be close to Rei. Rei likes him too, but she has a hard time expressing her feelings for people. She yells at Chad a lot and sometimes beats him with her broom. Only when Chad's asleep or not listening does she admit she has feelings for him. Only on a couple occasions did Rei outwardly show her affection... Rei is a talented girl, she excells at the school she attends, takes care of the temple and her grandfather and she keeps the Sailor Scouts in line. On top of all this, Rei composes and performs her own music as seen in the episode 'Rei's Day in the Spotlight.' She is a really good singer, but she probably won't be able to persue singing as a career with her obligations at the temple. Serena and Rei don't get along so well, and it appears that Rei hates Serena's guts. But really, Rei cares about Serena a lot, but she gets frustrated with her because she is a whiny crybaby flake. It is evident that she cares about her because in the Sailor Moon R movie Rei was the only scout crying over Serena when she 'died,' screaming "USAGI! USAGI! WAKE UP!" She also shows this in the episode 'A reluctant princess' in the first series of Sailor Moon, when on the verge of tears she admits to Serena she had fought well and made a good leader. But nevertheless, most of the time Rei and Serena are fighting away. In short, Rei is a tempermantal, hard working chica, but deep down inside she means well. She just has a hard time expressing her feelings. |
