GENERAL STUFF
Meet Yaten (Yah-tin, the "n" is dropped by some people). But first, I'll give you Takeuchi Naoko's version of Yaten's background.

"In another galaxy, long ago, shined a star called Healer. This star was under the rule of Queen Alina, a mysterious and cold woman. People of the other solar systems shunned her because they thought her too cold. But Queen Alina was only cold to strangers and people who weren't from Healer. Queen Alina was well loved and respected by all the people of her planet.

One dark day, Queen Metalia and her son, Mihat, both emerging from the Galaxy's Black hole, and attacked the Healer star . The queen of the Stars, who was one of Alina's closest friends, sent two Sailor Senshi to help her. Those two Sailors were Sailor Star Hienix and Sailor Star Stlian. With their help Queen Alina was able to seal back Metalia into the Black Hole; her son, Mihat, who was more powerful than his mother, was only knocked unconscious and wounded on the planet surface. Unfortunately, the battle didn't end without the sacrifice of Sailor Star Hienix, who died battling Metalia.

Back on the planet there was still Mihat to deal with, Sailor Star Stlian told Queen Alina she would use her most powerful power to wash all evil from Mihat's body. But after uttering her "Jooka Suru Star!" she, too, died as the result of utilizing her ultimate power. Queen Alina then stood alone with the unconscious Mihat. She had a chamber prepared for him and she nursed him back to health.

But, what was first concern for Mihat transformed itself into love, and now, free of all his evil ways, Mihat realized that he, too, loved Queen Alina. They were wed three years later and Queen Serenity was their witness to their marriage.

After five years of happiness and love Alina and Mihat were granted children. They first had twins a little girl named Yaten and a boy called Loutus. The next year they were granted another daughter who answered to the name Shanna.

But the happiness was short lived because on the fifth birthday of Yaten and Loutus, Metalia reappeared; stronger than ever, she attacked the planet. In a vicious rage, she killed all the inhabitants of Healer. The Queen and her family were unarmed, being in the Castle at the moment of the attack, but Queen Metalia attacked the defenses of the Castle. All knew she had succeeded when she claimed her first victim: Alina and Mihat's youngest child, Shanna. Then, Metalia turned on her own son, Mihat. In a killing frenzy, she dealt the killing blow on her traitorous son and his own child Loutus.

Knowing that Alina and her daughter were the only ones left, Metalia reassembled her energies and made an attack that would obliterate all life on Healer. When she felt the attack Alina fell to the ground, hoping her body would shield her daughter from the onslaught of raw power. The wave passed and all was obliterated on Healer. Metalia was about to make sure all was dead when a blast of energy hit Metalia. She recognized the blast; it was the Ginzuishou. Queen Serenity then worded a challenge to Metalia, who left the Healer star for the Earth and the Moon's solar system.

A few hours after the attack, Yaten regained consciousness. Her mother still held her but Queen Alina had not survived the attack. Yaten cried when she saw the dead bodies of her mother, father, her twin, and the young Shanna. She took hold of Alina and shook her, trying to revive her dead mother, but for Alina, it was already too late.

She felt all life had gone from the planet. Yaten crawled from under her mother and grabbed her father's sword. Desperate and her face streamed with tears, she wanted to commit suicide to rejoin her family. But as she lifted the sword to turn it against herself, the sword was yanked from her hands.

In the distance the shadow of a woman was approaching. She was still far away, but when she knelt, Yaten ran to her crying. In the woman's arms she started to cry and cry without uttering a word. The woman caressed her hair to soothe her, and she smiled to Yaten. Yaten lifting her tear filled eyes to her saw the soothing smile and she smiled back.

The woman called Yaten 'Princess Star Healer' and told her she would become one of the guardians of Kinmoku. The woman took Yaten in her arms and flew away to Kinmoku. The remains of the Healer star exploded a few moments after Yaten was taken away.

The woman's name was Queen Kakyoku and upon arriving to her planet she introduced her to her new adopted sisters: Seiya and Taiki. She then introduced her to her own daughter Princess Kakyuu. Queen Kakyoku died but not before she raised Yaten, Seiya and Taiki as her own leaving her daughter as ruler of Kinmoku and three strong Sailor Senshi to guard her.

One day, a powerful attack struck Kinmoku and the only survivors were... but you know that story.... (This is where Sailor Stars starts.)"

Yaten plays the keyboard for the Three Lights. He's the shortest of the Starlights and he's also a bit girlish. He can be charming though and Rei has a little crush on him, but it's Luna who Yaten really likes. As he's saying goodbye, he winks at her sweetly and Artemis goes nuts. Yaten transforms into a female when he becomes SailorStarhealer (セーラースターヒーラー). She has a big mouth and doesn't like the Senshi at first, but she later makes some friendly overtures to them. In episode 200 the Starlights go back to their home planet with Princess Fireball.

MY OPINION
I like Yaten a lot. He's got so much attitude that it's very refreshing in such a serious season. He's also got a nice-guy side when it comes to Luna. He's not cold at all. He's a fireball of the First Order! He has an amusing comment for just about anything and Starhealer can hold her own in a fight. I really like her gloves and the bracelets are a nice change from the arm bands. I like her choker the best, too. She has the cutest hair, and I do like the circlets and earrings. This is Mako's tie. I'd find her attractive, in an exotic sort of way, but I have trouble getting past the sex change thing...She's 100% female in the manga though. Still attitudy though. :)


Healer Star Power, Make-Up!:
Yaten says this to transform into SailorStarhealer. He gets a new transformation sequence with the same name later in the season.


Star Sensitive Inferno:
Starhealer dips her arm down and creates a star. She circles and then points it at an enemy, and bolts of lightning shoot out at it. She gets a star-shaped object that gives her more power later in the season.
