The Pretty Sailor Soldiers, or Bishoujo Sailor Senshi, are the guardians of the universe. Far in the past, in a time called the Silver Millenium, all the planets of the universe were united under the Moon Kingdom and ruled by Queen Serenity and her daughter, Princess Serenity (Usagi/Serena).

Princess Serenity's court consisted of the princesses of each of the other planets in the universe, and she had fallen in love with a handsome prince from Earth, Prince Endymion (Darien). All the planets were happy and at peace, ruled fairly and justly by Queen Serenity and the power of the Ginzuishou, or Silver Crystal ("Imperium Silver Crystal").

Then an evil woman, Queen Metalia ("the Negaforce") of the Dark Kingdom ("the Negaverse"), set out to conquer the universe. Her vassal, Queen Beryl, was put in charge of the conquest, and under Beryl were four generals from Earth: Kunzite (Malachite), Zoisite, Nephrite (Nephlyte), and Jadeite.
The Dark Kingdom conquered Earth and moved on to the Moon. Prince Endymion had escaped from Earth and chose to make his last stand defending the home of his love. To combat the Dark Kingdom, Queen Serenity called on the Sailor Senshi, sworn defenders of the Silver Millenium.
Not even their powers could defeat the evil forces. All of the Sailor Senshi were killed, as were Prince Endymion and his Princess. Queen Serenity was unwilling to allow this to happen. She used her Silver Crystal to imprison Beryl's strongest warriors, the Seven Shadows. Then she sent the souls of her daughter and all her friends to earth to be reborn in this new place and time, sending Luna and Artemis with them so that they could reunite the Sailor Senshi if they were ever needed again. Unfortunately, to do this, she had to send Beryl and her generals as well. She shattered the Silver Crystal into seven pieces, each one containing one of the Shadows, and the seven pieces were reborn into human.

Later the Dark Kingdom began their conquest of Earth again, and the Sailor Senshi became the planet's only hope....
The Inner Senshi are the Senshi team. They stick together no matter what in their mission to protect earth from evil forces.

The Inner Senshi

Mizuno Ami (Ami)
Ami-chan is brilliant and very sweet. She is Sailor Mercury, and uses her computer and her icy bubbles to help battle the enemies. She may not be the most powerful fighter, but she is a good strategist and very resourceful. She also tries to be a peacemaker between Usagi and Rei. ^_^

Hino Rei (Raye)
The mystical girl who runs a temple with her grandfather. Rei has psychic powers and is able to banish evil spirits. She weilds fire in the name of Mars. She and Usagi don't really get along, and they are always fighting.

Tsukino Usagi (Serena)
She is the powerful Sailor Moon. Usagi-chan daydreams a lot and doesn't often pay attention, but she tries hard to be good. Usagi/Serena is in love with Chiba Mamoru (Darien). He also fights to protect the Earth as Tuxedo Kamen (Tuxedo Mask), and for a little while, he was called the Moonlight Knight.

Kino Makoto (Lita)
In the name of Jupiter, Mako-chan strikes with thunder and lightning, and later wood. She is strong and athletic, and she and Usagi love to chase after boys. She is one of the most powerful inner senshi and the first to attack along with Mars.

Aino Minako (Mina)
She is the pretty sailor-suited soldier of Venus. She uses light and metal in her attacks. She is always very sweet and in the Manga she is the leader of the Sailor Team.

The Outter Senshi

The Outer Senshi are a mystery at first. They aren't really a part of the Inner Team. They are all independant and only seem to help the Inner Senshi if it benefits them in some way. Their lives are darker and not too much is known about them until SailorStars.

Meioh Setsuna, Sailor Pluto
Little is known about Sailor Pluto's life except that she is the guardian of the Gate of Time and holds the garnet orb on her staff (which is one of the Talisman that complete the Holy Grail). Setsuna is friends with Chibi-usa, who later she sends back in time.

Tenoh Haruka, Sailor Uranus
The partner of Sailor Neptune and the wielder of the Space Sword, which is the second Talisman. Sailor Uranus is a powerful warrior. Haruka often acts like and is mistaken for a boy, and wants to be a racer.

Kaioh Michiru, Sailor Neptune
The beautiful, gentle partner of Sailor Uranus. Neptune is beautiful and very powerful. She holds the third talisman which is the Deep Aqua Mirror. Michiru is a talented violinist and a great swimmer.

Hotaru Tomoe, Sailor Saturn
At once the most dangerous and the most fragile of the Sailor Senshi, Sailor Saturn holds the Silence Glaive, a powerful weapon of destruction. But at the same time, Hotaru has the ability to touch people and heal them, at the cost of her own energy.
The Manga revolves around her, but the Anime totally cut down the story and that's why she doesn't appear that much.

The Chibi Senshi

These are the two little girls who become sailor senshi.

Sailor Chibi-Moon, also known as Chibi-Usa (Rennie)
She is Usagi's daughter who just drops in one day (literally falling from the sky into Mamoru's arms) from the future. And a she is a lot like her mother sometimes! Chibi-usa can be a very nice girl once you get to know her, but the trouble is, she doesn't let people get to know her. She acts like a spoiled brat (literally!).

Chibi-Chibi
She looks like she could be four years old. All she seems to be able to say is the word Chibi (little), so she is called Chibi-chibi. Like Chibi-usa, she drops in from the sky, and there is little to know about her. Not until the end of the series is revealed that she is the star seed of Galaxia. The powerful woman who kills every single of the senshi.

The Sailor Starlights

The mission of the Sailor Starlights is to protect Princess Fireball (the gorgeous woman that appears on the border background of this website). The evil Sailor Galaxia came to attack their planet, and Princess Fireball disappeared after Galaxia killed the Princess' lover. The Sailor StarLights fled to Earth to save their lives and to find their princess so she could restore the peace in their planet.

On earth the StarLights are a family of three brothers, Yaten, Seiya, and Taiki Kou. They formed a musical group called the Three Lights, trying to find Princess Fireball through the messages in their music. When the Kou brothers transform, they become the female Sailor StarLights. They transform using headphones, by speaking into the microphones attached to them. Their Sailor fukus (uniforms) are leather, in what is commonly called the dominatrix fuku. The StarLights only have one attack each, but they are very powerful.
The Outer Senshi and the Sailor StarLights don't get along at all. In fact, they end up fighting each other half the time!

Sailor StarHealer, Kou Yaten
Yaten is the one with the attitude. He hates any kind of physical exertion and always seems to be mouthing off. Sailor StarHealer's attack is "Star Sensitive Inferno!"

Sailor StarMaker, Kou Taiki
The most serious and intellectual of the Starlights, Taiki has an IQ to rival Ami's. He is scientific and logical. Sailor StarMaker's attack is "Star Gentle Uterus!"

Sailor StarFighter, Kou Seiya
The leader of the Sailor Starlights, Seiya is the singer of the Three Lights and enjoys sports. He likes to tease Usagi, who has a crush on him. Sailor StarFighter's attack is "Star Serious Laser!"
