Personality Keyword: Tempermental
Personality Summary: Rei is the antagonist for Usagi through much of the series. It isn't until after season 1 when she finds out that Usagi is the Princess that she holds any respect for Usagi, but even then she constantly nags at her and makes fun of her (she even, at one point, almost relieves Usagi of her role as leader of the senshi). The two have a tongue-war practically every episode (in the beginning). She is a bonafied spit-fire, with a temper to rival a prodded bull. The preppy, private girls' school that she attends unlike her fellow senshi doesn't help matters. She is arrogant, self-assured and takes her religion and connection with the spirits very seriously. Her psychic abilites constantly come in handy with senshi duties (and even a lot of non-senshi duties). As her hatred of Usagi fades to friendly banter and her competitive nature evens out a bit, Rei grows to be one of Usagi's closest friends.
Love Life: In the very beginning, Rei falls head over heels for Mamoru. At first sight she thought he was the most attractive and alluring man in the world. While her friend Usagi trades insults with him, Rei constantly tries to take him out on dates. He consents to one, but doesn't think of it as any more than taking out a friend. Rei eventually realizes that Usagi and Mamoru are meant for each other and backs off of him for her princess's sake. At the same time, a musician named Yuuichirou is taken in by Rei's grandfather and lives at the Hikawa Shrine during Season 1. He is immediately taken with Rei and tries just about anything and everything to get her to go on a date with him. She brushes him off with a bit of a prissy attitude, but does seem to be at least a little affectionate towards him during Season 2. This romance never evolves into anything more than mild flirtation and is soon forgotten. (The following only occurs in the manga) In the past, during the Silver Millenium, Rei fell in love with General Jadeite - second in command to Prince Endymion. Their soulmate-level love is shattered when Jadeite is brainwashed by Beryl and sent to kill Sailor Mars. He is reborn in the present like the rest of the Silver Millenium, but before he can search for his prince, he and his fellow generals fall to darkness and Beryl's power again.
