The races in Luce are divided, each race constantly bickering over land rights and border lines. The most common argument is what happened to Sailor Luce, who disappeared 25 years prior.Each district accuses the other of kidnapping her, which in some cases causes war.

History/Background
Sakura grew up living with her mother in Japan. They owned a small house, but a huge cherry blossom grove. She grew up learning and believing that cherry blossoms were something that were sacred and precious, something that needed protecting. One day, when she was playing among the blossoms, which was always her favorite activity, she noticed a golden petal on the ground. It glowed with a faint gold light, but enough to catch her attention. Confused, Sakura looked around. All of the trees were still their normal pink color and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Even more confused now, she turned back to look at the blossom.
Instead of their being a glowing petal, there was now a weird stick and a wand. Both gold with accents of deep pink/red. She looked at them amazed. They entranced her, captivated her. No matter how hard she tried, she just wasn't able to look away from them. It was like the objects were calling to her. Sakura slowly bent down and picked up the two items. As soon as she stood up with them in her hand, the wind began to pick up and the trees started to blow about rapidly, sending cherry blossom petals all over. But instead of floating to the ground like petals usually were known for, they started to form around her, covering her in dozens upon dozens of gorgeous pink petals.
Suddenly, they stopped and fell to the ground. Sakura looked down to stare at them, but noticed something even more strange. Her outfit...it had changed! She stared down at herself, not sure what to make of it all. Then it all came rushing to her at once. It was finally clear what had just happened. She was Sailor Cherry Blossom, Guardian of the sacred Cherry Blossoms, who's mission was to protect her beloved trees and the world from any harm. Sakura was confused as to why...or how..she remembered this information, but decided that it must be true. Even she wasn't crazy enough to be able to make a scenario like that up in her head. From that day on, she vowed to protect her beautiful flowering trees with her life.

Brief description paragraph (which can include where they are from, what their way of life is like, etc.). Be reasonable!
Hailing from the planet Flos, a planet full of gorgeous flowers, Sailor Lavender roamed the galaxy after her home planet was destroyed by Chaos, searching for a new place to call home. Her connection to flowers and plants eventually lead her to Earth, where she took up a human identity, fighting agents of Chaos from time to time when she comes across them. Seeing a world full of such green beauty brought Sailor Lavender much joy and peace, which she thought she had lost after her entire world had been destroyed. Now she happily runs a greenhouse and flower shop, happy to tend to her flowers and help the people of Earth find the same joy in them that she does.
Name: Sailor Lilac
Powers: Accelerated Plant growth, Healing nature, various pollen effects, communication with plants
Origin story: Unlike most magical girls, Lucille was far into college at the age of 20 when her powers were bestowed upon her. She was one of the most promising students in her biology major. Her thesis, all about Bees and how their mysterious illnesses wiping them out and why the were necessary for all plant growth, was published around the world in multiple scholarly journals. She was always in the chemistry lab, trying to solve various plant illnesses and trying to find out why the Bees were suddenly dying out now when there had been nothing like this in the past.
One day, While at work at the local botanical garden, she laid her eyes on something that was biologically impossible. Amongst the rosebushes, a single blue rose sat among them. Transfixed by the rare mutation, she went to gently touch it to see if it was real or just somebody playing a cruel prank. At that moment, she received an intense vision-there were extra terrestrials that had been watching the earth for some time. It was their interference that was killing the bees and plants, and why humanity couldn't solve the problem quick enough! They wanted the earth to die by killing all the plants on earth! She was awoken by one of her colleges, having collapsed due to the sheer intensity of these visions. Once she returned to her apartment, lavishly decorated with all kinds of potted plants to make even the most keen gardener jealous, she saw the blue rose again, in a simple pot on her kitchen nook as if it had been there all along.
In disbelief, she went to examine the rose again. This time, she could hear cries of help and pain. She could hear the voices of the plants! The rose transformed itself into a lavish pin, and once she touched it she transformed into sailor lilac for the first time. With her houseplants giving her advice-it was up to Lucille to stop the aliens plot to destroy all life as we know it, using the powers of plant defense mechanisms. She is able to accelerate plant growth, and entangle her enemies in thorny vines. She is also able to paralyze and poison her attackers through the use of deadly plant derived toxins.
But one question remains-where did the blue rose come from? How did she gain these abilities? Even the plants do not know the answer.
