profiles (in progress)
Name: Yukino (of Snow) Koto (a kind of harp)
Age: 15
Appearance: light blue hair worn in a short pixie cut, bright blue eyes, 5’0”, childish and cute.
Background: Koto is the adopted daughter of a painter and a poet. Though her parents want her to share in their love of the fine arts, Koto is enraptured with technology. She excels at video games of all types and loves taking things apart and putting them back together again. She is undeniably brilliant, but her dreamy nature makes her space out at school, so though she is usually the most intelligent person in the room she never reaches the top of her class. Her talent for playing and designing games, as well as her energetic and playful personality, have made her a celebrity in certain circles (though nobody knows her true identity), but in the real world she is socially awkward and shy. Her favorite color is blue, her favorite flower is the hydrangea, she loves tv shows about space travel and books about history, mythology, and technology.
code name: Sailor Mercury
***
Name: Kokoro (heart) Hoshi (star)
Age: 16
Appearance: Hoshi has natural blonde hair with dyed red bangs and tips. Her eyes are dark blue, her skin is fair, and her figure is average. She has red star tattoos on her lower torso.
Background: Hoshi was adopted when she was two by a businessman and his wife. When she was seven her mother succumbed to the mysterious sleep that plagues the residents of 30th century Crystal Tokyo. Still, she was close to her father, and was able to maintain an optimistic attitude. Unfortunately, when Hoshi was fifteen her father also fell asleep, and like her mother he remains asleep when our story begins. She visits them every day.
The Kind and Queen’s generosity allows all children of sleeping parents to keep their family homes and continue schooling, but Hoshi cannot seem to make any lasting friendships and returns every day to an empty house. For pocket money she works at a theme restaurant called the Princess Café (which involves a series of ridiculously frothy costumes) and she also goes to idol auditions whenever possible. She doesn’t know if she really wants to be an idol, but she enjoys the attention and the wardrobe.
On a recent audition Hoshi encountered Murasaki Cho, a rising star in Neo Japan. Much to Hoshi’s amusement, Cho seems to be following her around.
Personality: Hoshi used to be very bubbly and care-free, but her parent’s sleep has made her a little weary of optimism. As a result she can be quite aloof and is known to have a bit of a short temper. However, with a little coaxing her good nature shines through. Hoshi loves music she can dance to and dressing up whenever possible. Her favorite color is gold, but her favorite color to wear is red. Her favorite flowers are daisies and her favorite books are fashion magazines. She loves stories where everyone lives happily ever after.
Code Name: Sailor Venus
***
Name: Tama. She has no family name at the moment, but will take one later. Tama is Japanese for “ball” and is a common (and therefore uncreative) name to give to a pet cat. Essentially, it is the Japanese equivalent of “fluffy.”
Age: she appears to be somewhere between 17 and 19.
Appearance: Tama is slender, but not skeletal. Her eyes are light blue and her skin is a little pale. She almost always looks tired. Her hair is short; mostly chin-length, but slightly shorter in the back and longer in the front. She also has two chunks of long hair that she wears in pointed buns that resemble cat ears. She's about 5'6" tall.
Background: During the time of the Silver Millennium and the reign of Queen Serenity, Tama was Sailor Mau; guardian of the planet Mau and leader of the Beast Senshi. Her mother, the previous Sailor Mau, was a hero in the Sailor Wars. Tama was eager to prove herself, but lived in restless peace. Everything changed when the Beast Senshi started to disappear one by one, replaced by Galaxia’s Animamates. Worse still, the Animamates who took on the powers of Tama’s comrades were residents of those soldiers’ respective planets, driven to traitorous murder by Galaxia’s promises of glory, power, and a better life for the Beast System. Eventually, Tama was the only soldier left, and then she was gone.
She spent what seemed like an eternity as a spirit in the Galaxy Cauldron, waiting for what came next. Sailor Soldiers who died before passing on planetary powers to their offspring were usually reincarnated, but she was stuck in limbo as long as Tin Nyanko had her starseed. When Tin Nyanko and Galaxia were defeated, Tama still remained in the cauldron, stubbornly refusing to be reincarnated on any planet that wasn’t Mau. Since Mau had been destroyed for eons, she was pretty much screwed. However, when she started noticing a series of events leading up to possible calamity and the destruction of Earth in 30th century crystal Tokyo, she begged Guardian Cosmos to send her to the Sol System. Out of pity for the ill-fated soldier, the Guardian restored all five Beast Senshi to their former bodies and sent them to Tokyo, skipping the traditional rebirth process. They are all temporarily separated, and Tama worked on her own to make contact with Princess Small Lady Serenity, also known as Usa, who would become the next Sailor Moon.
Personality: Tama is sarcastic, intelligent, and blunt. She is not easily impressed or won over. Though her constant teasing and mocking can make her seem cruel, deep down she is a loving person, and is most likely just shielding herself from further heartbreak. It is not easy to fool her, and she is clever enough to find a way out of most of the trouble she gets herself (and others) into. She is also a voracious eater and a deep sleeper. She tends to avoid mirrors and, despite her wisdom, is easily distracted. She is nosy and wants to know everything about everybody, but rarely reveals personal information. She is especially secretive about the Princess of the Beast system, who she blames for its dramatic collapse. Using her psychic powers, she has blocked the rest of the Beast senshi from ever discussing the Princess, though they remain loyal to her to this day. Tama has a hard time trusting people or forgiving them when they make mistakes. She likes antiques, turquoise, libraries, long naps, hot food, and thunderstorms. She does not like secrets or surprises, unless they are her own.
code name: Sailor Mau
***
Name: Murasaki (purple) Chou (butterfly)
Age: claims to be 18
Appearance: Chou has long, slightly wavy, very purple hair. Her bangs are cut and styled to conceal her blind right eye, which is completely white. Her left eye is perfectly fine and blue-violet. She is willowy, quite pale, and around 5’3” tall.
Background: During the Silver Millennium Chou was Sailor Cocoon, guardian of the planet Cocoon and proud member of the Beast Senshi. Cocoon served as the portal to the Graveyard, the final resting place for senshi released from the rebirth cycle. When she was very young she tried to peer into what laid beyond the graves. She did not know her own strength, and saw what should never be seen. Her encounter with the eternal whatever it was left her with a blind right eye and strengthened the prophetic powers already associated with the Cocoon line to an extent not seen in several lifetimes. When Galaxia came Cocoon was the second to last of the Beast Senshi to fall, and she did not fall easily. It is rumored that her usurper was not strong enough to do her in and Galaxia herself had to give the final blow. It was Chou who gave Tama the warning that things on Earth seemed to be following a familiar path. Once their old bodies were recreated and sent to earth, Chou decided to seek out the next Sailor Venus on her own, and became an idol after a famous producer heard her singing to herself in a public park. She accepted the fame hoping it would bring her closer to her goal. It worked, but she has a hard time going out in public without being mobbed.
Personality: Despite her rather edgy appearance Chou is very polite and mild-mannered. She wears gothic clothes in public but at home usually wears pajamas. She likes milk tea, Jane Austen, perfume, flowers with strong scents, and good manners. She is a little wary of graveyards because she understands what they represent. Chou dislikes bad smells, loud parties, and rude people.
