~Pre-existing character information~
Lita has a pretty tragic childhood. She used to live alone in an apartment because her parents were killed in an airplane crash, hence her trouble with airplanes. She had problems in her old school and left, and rumors were spread about her beating up a kid, so no one would be her friend... Except Usagi, who is attracted to her bento lunch and is impressed by her strength, cooking skills, and cuteness, so they become fast friends.
She is the fourth senshi to be found by Usagi, in a fight against Zoisite who was trying to obtain Rainbow Crystals. Lita is a semi-paradox sort of girl. While she is somewhat tough and has a quick temper, she enjoys cleaning, cooking, and "feminine" activities. She is constantly attracted to a new boy, whom she claims always looks like her senpai. She is constantly being taken advantage of by this fault- a possessed ice skater believes her to be a Sailor Senshi, so uses his charm on her; Tigerseye treats her incredibly cruelly but she accepts it because she is so infatuated with him. Lita however is a very loyal friend, protective of those she loves.
~In the Zodiac series~
Lita is in a relationship with Ami, living with the three chibi-sailors and facing a situation similar to Esa in that her daughter Juno is present in the 20th Century and her age. Juno has to understand her mother’s relationship with Ami (previously suppressed in the Crystal Millennium as the senshi married) and Lita initially feels embarrassment and some shame that her daughter had to find out in the new bizarre situation they faced. In the future, Lita marries Nephrite, one of Endymion’s generals and her ‘love’ from the past, however her true feelings lie with Ami. She too enjoys the freedoms of living as teenagers once more in the 20th Century and with her friendly demeanor she is well liked within the group. She is a particularly good friend of Esa and Cassie (the three forming a sort of like-minded trio) and acts the responsible adult within her household able to put her well-honed domesticated skills to use. In the present, due to their relative strengths as senshi, Ami and Lita are very useful prominent in a renewed fight against the new enemies Alutria and Laverna.
