Used Canons: 90's Anime, Manga, and PGSM
Appearance: A beautiful individual, Rei has thick, long raven black hair and unique violet eyes. She stands at 5'3", and she has a thin, curved figure. Her bangs hang in front of her eyes, and her skin is very light. Normally, she wears her TA Academy for Girls uniform, but when she isn't, she likes to wear simple, modest clothing, consisting of skirts, simple blouses, t-shirts, jeans, and the occasional pair of overalls. When working at the temple, she wears her white and red priestess robes.
Personality: Known for her passionate, fiery attitude, Rei is not afraid to fight for what she believes in by any means necessary. She sometimes comes off as rude and stern, but in all honesty, she means well. Her temper is very short, and she has very low patience. Her tolerance for immaturity is also extremely low, and she often gets angry at those who are not as sophisticated as she. Rei is also very mysterious, being a psychic priestess, and many are afraid to approach her. Despite this, she is admired by many and seen as a role model. She has strong determination and has a very good drive, which pushes her to succeed in anything she does. Independence is something that is very important to Rei, and she hardly lets herself fall to the manipulations of men. She sets very high goals for herself, and is very ambitious. Among these goals are the ability to succeed, be happy, and do what she loves. Being a good leader falls into her dream to become head priestess at her home, the Hikawa Shrine. Although a girl of sophistication and maturity, Rei has learned to loosen up and have fun, thanks to her friends. They support her in all of her endeavors, which has pushed her to open herself up with them. She enjoys creating music by singing or playing piano, and she loves to plan large-scale events. Her background at the shrine has provided her with talent in martial arts, as well. Martial arts, along with meditation, are some methods Rei uses to get attuned with the spiritual world. It is her way of coping and dealing with her problems. She has a tendency to dwell on her issues, thinking about them and brooding on her own. Placing her problems on other people is the last thing she wants to do, and so Rei lets them build up until they become too much. This is part of the reason why she is so short-tempered and serious at times, because she has so much on her shoulders. She doesn't think that anyone will know or understand how to help her, so she doesn't bother to ask. The amount of trust and faith she puts into others is very small, and so making new friends and meeting new people has always been an issue. She believes that if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.
Any Unique Abilities/Skills: Rei is a priestess, and with that occupation, she is a psychic. She is able to read fire and use sacred incantations to defeat enemies and detect evil. She is exemplary at detecting negative energy, and she is very in-tune with her body. She is also a very talented musician and performer. She also reads fire in order to gain certain information.
History: During the Silver Millennium, Rei was the princess of Mars, and protector of the Moon's Princess, Serenity. She performed her duties with maximum effort, and always but her princess before herself. When Serenity started sneaking off to the Earth to visit Endymion, Rei would do the same, and eventually fell in love with Jadeite, a shittenou under Prince Endymion. When Jadeite betrayed her, Rei lost everything, including her life. Thanks to Queen Serenity of the Moon, she was reincarnated as a human on Earth a thousand years later.
At a very young age, Rei lost her mother to illness, and was alone with her father. A government official, Rei's father was never around much and didn't have a lot of time for her. He wasn't there for her when her mother died, and he was never there for her every moment after. Because of this separation and depressing loneliness, Rei moved in with her grandfather, a priest at the Hikawa Shrine. From that moment onward, Rei developed her psychic abilities by fire reading, meditation, prayer, etc. Growing up, Rei was very lonely and, because of this, very introverted. People deemed her as pompous and strange, because of the acitivities she participated in, such as feeding crows and constant prayer. In junior high, she met the young Usagi Tsukino, who she mistakenly perceived as an evil force. After attacking the blonde teen and apologizing later, Rei went through a series of events that led to her being captured by an evil servant of Queen Beryl. Because of this capture, her hidden ability to become a sailor senshi rose to the surface, and she transformed into Sailor Mars. Since then, Rei has gone on to fight and defeat countless enemies, all of different strengths and weaknesses. She has grown both socially, mentally, and physically, and never abandons her duty as a sailor senshi.
Other Noteworthy Facts: Rei's star sign is Aries, and her blood type is AB. Her favorite gem is a ruby, which ties into her favorite color: red. She also likes the casablanca flower.

This transformation item is used from the arrival of the Dead Moon Circus (given to Sailor Mars by Pegasus) to the end of time.

Communicator - This item resembles a watch with a large red circular piece replacing the timepiece. The symbol of Mars is on the front, and once opened, the voices of anyone who contacts Rei can be heard.
RP Sample: The flames licked towards the beautiful priestess, warning her of incoming dangerous forces. Sweat poured down her face as she kept her hands moving in front of her, mumbling the sacred terms of meditation. The heat in the room was increasing as the concentration of the raven-haired girl intensified. She had known all along that something was coming, but not even the fire could tell her what it was. All she got was mere glimpses, images that were impossible to put together. The pounding in her head became unbearable and she let go of her concentration, lowering her hands and panting. The flames lowered, returning to their dull, crackling state. The priestess sat on her knees, fists clenched, wondering why her abilities as a psychic were failing. Was the oncoming threat so powerful that not even she could penetrate it?
Tired and in the need of fresh air, Rei walked outside, surprised to find rain pouring from the clouds. A rumble of thunder erupted above her, but she didn't cringe as she walked out into the rain. The cool water felt good on her heated skin, and she relished in the feeling as she walked to her favorite tree. Pulling a scroll of paper from her pocket, she tied it around a branch of the tree, whispering a quiet prayer as she did so:
"Please, protect my friends."
