"I don't need love now..... I have kindred spirits with the same goal. I have you all."
I think after Hotaru and Usagi, Rei is my fav character. She's definatly the most flamboyant member of the Senshi, and one of the strongest fighters. She takes everything she does seriously, and does it to her full potential. Rei (or Raye, in the N/A version) first appeared in the anime when Usagi went to investigate the Hikagawa Shrine because of certain "missing bus" incedents. Well, Jedite showed up later and the scouts were pulled into this wierd alternate place, and it was revealed there that Rei was Sailormars. In the manga, Usagi follows Rei to her shrine, thinking that she is the moon princess because she is so beautiful. Also in the manga, Mars kills Jedite after being awakened. Anyways, her mother died when she was young, and her father, being a politician, is away a lot, so she lives with her grandpa at the shrine. I don't think it's that Rei doesn't like men, it's just that she thinks other things are more important than falling in love or getting married. She doesn't understand why all her friends are so boy crazy. But in the Sailorstars anime, you can catch a glimpse of Rei-chan's boy-crazy side^-^! Rei also has two pet crows; Phobos and Deimos, which only appear in human form in the beginning of the SuperS Manga. They're kind of like her guardians, just like Luna is Usagi's guardian. They help her discover her true dream is to fight as a sailor soldier.
Now, many un-informed Sailormoon fans tend to think that Rei is pretty B**chy at first. Well, she is kinda mean in the Anime, and ESPESCIALLY in the N/A version *shudder*, but in the manga, she's MUCH more serious and a lot nicer. She's just passionate about what she does. Okay, since this IS a page about Rei, the Rei/Usagi friendship thing just HAS to be discussed (you never know how many uninformed people there are out there!) Okay, Rei and Usagi (Raye, Serena, WHATEVER) are NOT enemies! They are FAR from it, in fact! Rei only yells at Usagi because she thinks that she's not living up to the best she could be. The two really do care about each other *NOTE: Mars is always the last one to die, and she always has the longest, most emotional speech with Usagi!* Okay, enough about that, there are PLENTY of Rei and Usagi pages around if you want more. Another friendship of Rei's that I'm just learning about and that people obviously fail to notice, is that of Rei and Minako's. Apparently, in the manga, the two are just about as close, if not closer, that Rei/Usagi. Minako even tries to pass herself off as a student at Rei's school! To learn more about that... visit Tsukini Kawatte(which I'm pretty sure is listed in my banner links section).
Well, now you've heard facts and my views on one of the most colorful senshi of the group. Her personality is truly fitting to her name ; Hino Rei-Spirit of Fire.
