Who is she?

Lita is the reincarnation of the Princess of Jupiter, and transforms into the Energetic Fighter, Sailor Jupiter. Lita is the brawn behind the Sailor Scouts, with a strong will and outgoing personality. In combat, Sailor Jupiter often takes the role of morale booster, convincing the other Scouts that they can defeat their enemies. The tallest of the Inner Senshi, Lita often prefers to close in on an enemy for hand-to-hand combat (she knows karate) rather than use her Sailor Senshi Attack. Lita was kicked out of her old school for fighting and transferred to grade eight at Crossroads Junior High where she was first befriended by Serena. Unfortunately, the new school did not make uniforms in her size, requiring her to keep the beige-and-white uniform from her old school. Whenever Lita meets a cute guy she instantly develops a terrible crush on him, claiming "He reminds me of my ex-boyfriend". She has a special place in her heart for a boy named Ken, with whom she has been best of friends since they were both very young. Lita is an excellent figure skater, a talented chef, and a great housekeeper, but does not put much effort into studying.

Both of Lita's parents died in a plane crash. Though still young, Lita lives alone in a small apartment in the Azabu Juuban district.

What can she do?

Jupiter Thunder Crash

First appeared: Episode #21

What does it do? Sailor Jupiter crosses her arms over her chest with her index and pinky fingers extended. After calling upon the power of Jupiter, a miniature lightning rod extends upwards from her tiara and absorbs the electrical energy from blue lightning bolts as they crash down from the sky. The energy crackling around her, Sailor Jupiter throws her arms open and sends forth a giant arc of electricity at her opponent. Also referred to as "Supreme Thunder Crash" and "Jupiter Thunderbolts Crash".

Jupiter Thunder Dragon

What does it do? The initial attack sequence is the same as Jupiter Thunder Crash". After Sailor Jupiter releases the lightning from her tiara, however, it coalesces into the form of a giant electric dragon, and lunges at her opponent with its jaws opened wide.

Jupiter Thundercrash Zap
