Introduction

In any case, Rei is possibly the prettiest of the original Senshi (IMHO). With her mane of black hair and her fiery disposition, it's no wonder so many guys go ga-ga over her (my husband is one of them)! Here's a little background on the lovely Senshi of Fire, gleaned from various sources:

Rei is a miko, or Shinto shrine maiden, and lives at Hikawa Jinja, a Shinto shrine in the Juuban district of Tokyo, Japan, with her maternal grandfather, its priest. In the anime, Grandfather Hino is a dirty old man who likes young girls (I don't believe he's that way in the manga, but I haven't seen more than a few issues, so I could be wrong....). Her mother died when she was very young, and according to some accounts her father is a politician whom she rarely sees; she prefers living with her grandfather to living with him. She goes to a private Catholic school for girls called T*A Private Girls' School (Brookdale Private School in the DiC dub), while the other inner Senshi attend Juuban Junior High (Crossroads Junior High in the DiC dub). This is the reason Rei wears a different school uniform from all of the other Senshi. All the other students at school are happy to wait on her, and she is considered a "queen."

Even though Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars fight a lot, they really are good friends (this comes out more in the original Japanese series). If you don't believe me, check out Rei and Usagi's Friendship Page.

I have heard that Sailor Mars and Jadeite (yes, that Jadeite) were once lovers, until Queen Beryl and Queen Metallia turned him to evil. If you want to learn more about this, check out Jadeite's Story, the first part of The Generals' Saga. It's currently online on The Generals' Saga Homepage, along with Parts Two through Five (Nephrite's Story, Zoicite's Story, Kunzite's Story, and the Conclusion).

Regardless of the truth about Sailor Mars and Jadeite, Rei seems to have feelings for Kumada Yuuichiro ("Chad" in the DiC dub), a young man who works at Hikawa Jinja. Though she sometimes seems to be trying not to reveal how much she really cares about him, it's obvious that Yuuichiro carries a tremendous torch for Rei-chan -- he was even willing to fight Tenou Haruka (a/k/a Sailor Uranus) to make sure that Rei's feelings weren't hurt! Now that's devotion! :-)

Another one of my hobbies is playing role-playing games. A few years ago, I started playing around with ideas on what Rei/Sailor Mars would be like as a PC (Player Character) for various game systems. So far, I've come up with the following:

Rei as an Akashic Brotherhood mage from Mage: The Ascension
Sailor Mars as a Champions character
Rei as a Seelie Wilder Eshu from Changeling: The Dreaming

Here are some of my appearances as Sailor Mars:

	On July 19, 1997, I won the Judge's Appreciation award for my Sailor Mars costume and skit, "Highland Senshi", at the Masquerade at Toronto Trek XI in Toronto, Ontario. I was thrilled, especially since I never expected to win an award at my very first Masquerade! Here's a picture taken in the ballroom before we went onstage. That's my husband (then-fiancé), Christopher Church, next to me, playing my "Highland Souvenir." Follow the link to see a larger version of this picture (scanned at 200 dpi resolution, instead of the 75 you see here).
	On October 31, 1997, the members of Otaku no Tsuki held our first Halloween Raid on the Walden Galleria Mall in Buffalo, New York. This picture and the next are from that event. Look out! It's the Biker Senshi from Mars! Actually, it's just me in my favorite black leather jacket, hanging out in the mall Food Court.
	Sailor Mars waves to her adoring fans (or, me hamming it up for the camera). :-)
	Here I am in the Constellation Ballroom at Toronto Trek 15, dressed as Rei in her miko attire.
