Rei is the reincarnation of the Princess of Mars, and transforms into the Passionate Fighter, Sailor Mars. Raye is a stubborn and short-tempered Shinto fire priestess, skilled in martial arts, combat, and meditation techniques. She attends grade eight at the Brookdale Private School (T*A Pricate Girls' School in Japan) where she is very popular and well-liked. Rei's use of ofuda (anti-evil ward scrolls) is not connected with her Sailor identity, but with her training as a priestess and her knowledge of the supernatural. Early in the series, Rei expresses her lack of confidence in Serena as leader of the Sailor Scouts, claiming that she herself would be better suited to the role. It did not help matters that both Rei and Serena had major crushes on Darien. However, after Sailor Moon transformed into the Moon Princess, Rei withdrew her objection in the face of destiny, and threw her full support behind Serena. Rei has a massive manga collection (she is an otaku [anime fan]), and is an accomplished singer/songwriter, and a talented skier.
Rei lives at the sacred temple (Hikawa Jinja in Japan) on Cherry Hill with her lecherous grandfather, Grandpa Hino, and the temple apprentice, Chad. Raye cares deeply for Chad, but will not let him know her true feelings.
