Canon: Sailor Moon.
Character: Rei Hino // Sailor Mars.
Timeline: As Usagi and Chibiusa attack the Wise Man in the darkness of the Negamoon. (End of Sailor Moon R, last episode, final battle.)
Personality: Rei is fierce, practical, boy-crazy, and ambitious. She works as a Shinto priestess at her grandfather’s temple and takes her responsibilities to the culture very seriously. She is hardworking and always completes her chores on time, sometimes taking on double-chores and triple-chores to get the work done. She’s very forward-thinking and determined, knowing exactly how to get from point A to point B without very much effort. While Rei is practical, she’s also very short-tempered. She’s seen numerous times getting angry at Usagi (Sailor Moon) for her supposed lack of leadership potential and cowardice. While Rei is loyal to the cause, she often shows irritation with the fact that Usagi/Sailor Moon is in charge of the Sailor scouts, often believing that she would make a better leader. However, Rei believes very strongly in her role as Sailor Mars and would stop at nothing to protect the people that she loves from harm, even going so far as throwing herself in front of her friends to save them from the various dangers she and the Sailor scouts encounter. She loves her friends dearly, even if she rarely shows it, and defends them to the death.
Background: [I apologize in advance for how long this is. Sailor Moon canon is ridiculously long and overcomplicated for being a shoujo anime! I promise I’ll try to be as succinct, but brief, as possible. Luckily, I’m pulling Rei from just after season two!]
Rei Hino is a Shinto priestess that lives and works at her grandfather’s Shinto temple in Tokyo, Japan. Her life ambition is to become head priestess of the temple. She’s an extremely spiritual person who is very in tune with her spirituality… even if her temper doesn’t quite explain that.
As for family, Rei is woefully deprived of a normal family life. Her father is a famous politician who cares more about his job than he does about his only daughter. He only visits Rei on her birthdays and Rei never seems to give much thought to her father. Her mother passed away when Rei was very young and is dead long before the series begins. For all intensive purposes, Rei has been raised by her grandfather, who is the head priest at the Shinto shrine where Rei lives.
Rei goes to a private school separate from her friends, called T*A Private Girls School. She doesn’t seem to have very many friends at the school because everyone judges her because of her work at the Shinto shrine. Rei has the ability to tell the future and has visions about bad things to come, so the majority of the students believe her to be a weirdo who shouldn’t be talked to. As a result, Rei spends the majority of her time at the shrine with her grandfather… until she meets Usagi, Amy, and their cat Luna. The Negaverse (the evil force that is trying to take over the world) infiltrates Rei’s shrine in order to use her handwritten lucky charms as a way to absorb energy from the various young girls and boys who buy them. During the attack, Luna discovers that Rei is actually the third Sailor Scout, after seeing the sign of Mars appear on her forehead. Luna unlocks Rei’s Sailor Scout powers and, as a result, Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury defeat Jedite and the Negaverse, gaining a new ally in the process.
From the very start, Rei doesn’t immediately get along with the other Sailor Scouts, Usagi in particular. She finds Usagi very immature and cowardly, believing that she shouldn’t be blessed with the powers of Sailor Moon. As the series goes on and the Negaverse gets more bold in their attacks, the Sailor Scouts come to a conflict of interest in regards to Usagi (who, they discover, is actually the Moon Princess that Luna and the other Scouts have been searching for the entire series) being deemed the leader of the Sailor Scouts by Luna. Rei constantly claims that she would make a better leader and insists that Usagi give up her leadership to her, due to her constant lateness and lack of caring about the mission. Through her determination, Rei believes that she would make a better leader. At the end of a (mostly fabricated) fight, Rei eventually relinquishes the idea of becoming leader of the Sailor Scouts and returns Sailor Moon’s Moon Wand, understanding that she isn’t meant to be the leader of the Sailor Scouts and she’s much better off just as a soldier.
As the series progresses, Rei becomes romantically entangled with the main male character of the series, Mamoru. Their relationship seems relatively one-sided, as Mamoru is mostly interested in his duties as Tuxedo Mask and not the rest of his social life, but Rei seems determined to make the relationship work. The relationship winds up falling apart when the rest of the scouts discover that Usagi is the Moon Princess they’ve been searching for and Mamoru, as Tuxedo Mask, is actually the Moon Princess’ long lost love, the knight of the earth. She wants, very badly, a romantic connection with someone like Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask have, but realizes that her place is to fight and defend Sailor Moon, not wreck her love life. This, again, proves that Rei’s connection to her friends is more important to her than anything else in the world. She and Mamoru don’t go out again after this moment, as Mamoru seems mostly interested in Usagi.
Rei/Sailor Mars continues to fight for justice with the rest of the Sailor Scouts to defeat Queen Beryl and the Negaverse, ultimately sacrificing herself at the end of Sailor Moon in order to protect Sailor Moon from death. Rei and the other Sailor Scouts rally together for one last attack on Queen Beryl’s fortress in the Negaverse. One by one, the Sailor Scouts are picked off until it is just Usagi and Rei remaining to fight the Negaverse. Rei tells Usagi that she believes Usagi must fight Queen Beryl alone and that Usagi, as Sailor Moon, has to rescue the world from the dark powers of the Negaverse. Rei goes down fighting, as always, and manages to divert Queen Beryl’s attention long enough for Usagi to pull herself together to defeat the Negaverse. Usagi ends up using the Silver Imperial Crystal to bring all of the Sailor Scouts back, but without their memories, and their lives continue much as they had at the beginning of Sailor Moon.
Sailor Moon R begins with the girls in the same position that they were in the beginning of Sailor Moon. Rei continues to work as a priestess at the Hinakawa Shrine, but without any memory whatsoever of being a Sailor Scout or being friends with any of the Sailor Scouts. Her memory is jogged when she sees that Usagi is being attacked by a cardian monsters provided by new enemies, Ail and Ann, and she is temporarily reminded of her sacrifice she made against Queen Beryl. Rei’s memory returns to her in an instant and she immediately transforms into Sailor Mars to save her friends. She, unlike some of the other Sailor Scouts, shows no regret at losing whatever normal teenager life she may have regained by not being a Sailor Scout. Without Sailor Mars and the rest of the Scouts, Rei’s life seems a little empty and without the greater purpose of being a Sailor Scout.
After Ail and Ann’s eventually demise (and subsequent healing), all of the Sailor Scouts (plus Mamoru, Tuxedo Mask) have their memories again. They bind together to fight for justice and fight for peace when a new enemy comes forward, this time… from the future! Rei and the other Sailor Scouts discover that a small child that (literally) crashed into Usagi’s life, named Chibiusa, is a child of the future Crystal Tokyo. The future is bleak… Neo Queen Serenity has been put into a coma and the Silver Imperial Crystal has lost its powers. Chibiusa, while during their stay, makes friends with the Sailor Scouts, growing closest to Amy, Rei, and Usagi in particular. Rei seems to gain a motherly instinct when around Chibiusa, constantly saying that they need to protect her first and foremost and often taking control of dangerous situations in order to ensure Chibiusa’s safety. When they are transported to the future to rescue Neo Queen Serenity and make the future right again, Rei once again steps up to try and protect her friends. While she doesn’t have to sacrifice herself, she refuses to give up on Chibiusa (who is transformed by the powers of the Negamoon’s Dark Crystal into the Black Lady), claiming that as a true friend of hers, she could never turn her back on her. This only stands to bolster Rei’s character; she fights to the death for her friends.
When the Wise Man is defeated, the Sailor Scouts return to Earth (memories intact this time!) and bid a goodbye to Chibiusa, who returned to the future to be with her family. The Scouts are left in a moment of uncertainty… new scouts are on the horizon and new adventures are on the way!
Abilities/Additional Notes: Rei Hino: Rei has a special psychic link with the spirit world due to her role as a Shinto priestess. Several times in the series, she uses fire in order to have certain premonitions concerning future enemies against the Sailor scouts. She is also able to dispel evil spirits using special charms that are blessed by her grandfather and the spirits she protects within the temple she lives in. Rei is able to dispel evil spirits both in her human form and in her Sailor Mars form. Rei also has a basic understanding of martial arts and can handle her own in a fight (though Rei doesn’t normally have to defend herself when not Sailor Mars).
Sailor Mars: As mentioned previously, Rei is able to transform into Sailor Mars through the use of her Mars Star Wand, which she carries on her at all times in case of evil. Sailor Mars is able to manipulate fire and heat to her advantage. At the time of being pulled into Adstringendum, Sailor Mars is able to do three main attacks. Her first involves a burst of flame, called ‘Mars Fire Ignite’. Her second is the same as Rei’s ability to dispel evil spirits, but involves a burst of flame which causes presumably more damage to the enemy. Mars’ third attack involves a giant bird made out of flame (presumably a phoenix), called ‘Mars Fire Soul Bird’. Her fourth, and most powerful as of date, is called ‘Mars Celestial Fire Surround’, which throws discs of flame enhanced by her spirituality towards the enemy. Sailor Mars is also well-versed in hand-to-hand combat and is quick, agile, and tough as nails.
