Hino Rei

Rei Hino is the civilian identity and present-day incarnation of Sailor Mars. She is an eighteen-year-old girl who is quiet, calm, and nice. She works as a shrine maiden at the Hikawa Shrine and goes to school at the T.A. Girls' Academy. Age:18. Appearance (Civilian):Rei has long black hair that has a slight purple tint, purple eyes, and red earrings. She is often seen wearing her red and white shrine priestess robes, as well as her school uniform. Appearance (Sailor Senshi):Sailor Mars has long hip-length black hair and wears a Sailor uniform with a red skirt and high heels. She has a dark red ribbon tied into a bow above the back of her skirt, and a dark purple ribbon tied into a bow on her chest. Just like the other Sailor Senshi, she wears a tiara on her forehead, with a stone of her signature color (dark red in Sailor Mars' case) in the center of it. After the "Super" upgrade, her collar remained at one white stripe, the bottom of the shoulder pads was translucent, the back waist bow was enlarged and lengthened, her choker had a yellow star attached to it and her earrings were now six-pointed stars. Background information: Rei lives at Hikawa Shrine with her grandfather and works as a Miko, befriending two crows named Phobos and Deimos. Rei would develop psychic powers that she would cultivate by diving through the Sacred Fire at the shrine. However, her abilities would cause people to view her as strange and avoid her. Skills and abilities: Rei is one of few Sailor Moon characters who is able to use special powers in her civilian form. These are mainly the result of her role as a shrine maiden, which gives her heightened spirituality as well as certain resources. In addition to some psychic talent, including occasional unprompted premonitions, Rei is able to do fire readings and to dispel evil spirits. She does the latter by performing Kuji-Goshin-Ho,a ritual which consists of chanting nine words of power (Rin, Pyou, Tou, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen!) while making relevant hand signs. She then shouts "Evil spirit, be exorcised!" (悪霊退散,Akuryō Taisan!),and throws one or multiple ofuda scrolls. She commonly uses this attack while in her Sailor Mars form as well as when she is in her civilian form. Rei must transform into a Sailor Soldier, however, before she can access her celestial powers. She makes this change by raising a special device (pen, bracelet, wand, or crystal) into the air and shouting a special phrase, originally "Mars Power, Make-up!" As she becomes more powerful and obtains new transformation devices, this phrase changes to evoke Mars Star, Planet, or Crystal Power. Sailor Mars has the power to create and control fire. Her named powers are somewhat inconsistent across the various series—in the first arc of the manga, she says "Evil spirits, begone!" the same phrase she uses as a civilian while using an ofuda, for her fire attacks. Precognition: Rei is shown to have strong precognition, where she can make full use of this ability to predict events from a near future, as shown in Act 3 when she predicted Jadeite's ambush, in the Act 13,when she saw a Black Moon mark while meditating, and in the Act 27 Infinity 1,where she foresaw a catastrophe. As mentioned above, Rei can make full use of this ability, but it can fail sometimes, as shown in Act 3,where,instead of Usagi being captured and held captive by Jadeite, it was herself. Pyromancy: She is also shown to have a great affinity with fire, to the point where she is capable to manifest her future sights by forming images on the flames. The images are very enigmatic and unreliable. Purification: Even when she is in her civilian form, she can use her "ofuda" (a Shinto talisman used to protect homes from evil spirits) to "exorcize" people, while yelling "Evil Spirit, Disperse!" (although it can cause normal people to faint, as shown in Act 3 when she tried to "purify" Usagi). Sixth Sense: Rei is sometimes shown to have a "sixth sense", using it to detect "evil presences" and approaching danger, as shown in Chapter 6 of Codename: Sailor V manga, but it can fail sometimes when she mistook Usagi for an evil spirit.
