[Background]
Here and Here
[Personality]
Rei is very much like the ideal Japanese woman, reserved and intelligent, but she isn’t a pushover. Not only does she have a natural beauty but she is a passionate warrior. She fights for what she believes in, whether it is her role as a sailor senshi or even as a shrine maiden. She takes both positions seriously, but it is the duty to protect Sailor Moon, a destiny she shares with the other sailor senshi, that grounds her into the strong, and fierce fighter of fire and passion.
Before meeting Usagi and the others, Rei only looked to herself. Her trust in others tarnished by the errors of her father, and people’s perception of her psychic powers. Because of her father and his devotion to his job and not his family, and his lack of involved during her mother’s ailing health, Rei grew to dislike men and also to rely on herself for strength. She was a fairly private person, believing she didn’t need to make friends or get to know anyone. If she has a problem she confides in herself, and her opinions or fears are never voiced verbally, but observed mentally. She’s not one to get too emotional unless there’s a good reason for her to lose her composure. She doesn’t dwell on the past, but works on the present a bit at a time.
Even though she’s admired by many in school and on the street by onlookers, she gives them a polite distance. She rarely involves herself with people outside of school. Declining most offers to hang out, or choosing to refuse gifts. Because of her psychic abilities and intimidating air, some people find her creepy, cold and unapproachable. They especially believe it is weird that she keeps company with a pair of crows, Phobos and Deimos. So she is isolated by people and Rei willing isolates herself as well.
Rei is far from indifferent or uncaring. When she first makes her appearance in the manga, it was during Jadiete’s lure to steal more energy from human beings. Jadeite was using a ploy of a local bus to kidnap passengers, and since the bus was near her shrine, rumors began to befallen the Hikawa shrine. At first, Rei seems calm and level headed, but once the adults began to gossip about her and even her Grandfather’s shrine, her temper comes out. To speak badly about something she was passionate and in which the shrine was virtually innocent from string of abductions definitely pushed Rei’s buttons enough to lose her composure. She cares deeply for the shrine and its reputation. It is her dream to even take over the shrine in her Grandfather’s footsteps, so of course she will protect it, even if she must show an ugly side of herself.
In order to end the rumors, Rei goes and investigates the demonic bus herself. Not only does she feel she needs to protect the shrine, but she feels obligated to find out what’s going on since more people were missing. Even if she had to board the bus herself and place herself in danger, there was something within her that wanted to resolve this mystery.
It was also revealed that Rei had loved someone in her past, Mr. Kaidou, her father's protegee. From that experience she realizes that when she loves, she does so intensely to the point of such passion and possessiveness that she fears she could ruin that person. Perhaps this is why she decides to distances herself from others. She is capable of such intensity that even she fears it.
Sailor Mars is born, but she wasn’t exactly thrilled about becoming a senshi. She feels that having to do senshi business was a burden, and she wasn’t enthusiastic about spending her precious time with the senshi. Although, it takes Rei a while to warm up to Usagi and the others, she does eventually care for them and becomes even protective of them. When she remembers her past life as a guardian of the princesss, she seems even more willing to aide Usagi. Even to the point of sacrificing her life along with the other sailor senshi in order to strengthen Sailor Moon’s power against Queen Metallia’s darkness. No matter the enemy, Rei knows what is called for. A quick, and unapologetic attack to protect Sailor Moon, and if she needed her power,Mars would give it up to Sailor Moon willingly.
After meeting the girls, Rei seems to be more comfortable with herself. At times she has doubts about her future, whether she should only settle for being a priestess, while everyone else have dreams of marriage and exciting careers. At times She doesn’t feel she needs to be like everyone else. She feels comfortable in her own skin because there are others who can share her burden. She is surrounded by other’s who isn’t the typical girl. So when it comes to boys or her future, she can have confidence in her decisions.
Although, Rei has become close with the other senshi, she especially close to only a few. Usagi is the catalyst of Rei’s transformation, if it was not for meeting her, Rei wouldn’t be the person she is. Rei was very much a loner, but with Usagi’s influence in her life, she gains friends, a purpose and even a strength she didn’t know she has. In the beginning, Rei doubted her ability to be leader or a suitable senshi, but soon she learned to trust in Usagi and her power. Rei still doesn’t condone everything Usagi does, but she does believe and appreciates her. Whenever her resolves falters, it is her vow to protect Usagi that gives her strength.
Even when she was deceived into believing that Minako was the princess they sought, Rei admired Minako’s ability as Venus and felt she was more suited to be princess than Usagi. Even as a leader, Rei feels that Minako is capable. Outside of being a senshi, Rei and Minako have clashing personalities; they are each other’s opposites. Minako is obviously more outgoing, althetic and cheerful, and at times Rei finds it to be annoying and even endearing. Rei definitely believes Minako is her friend, being the only one out of the senshi that she confides in. She reveals to Minako her desire to go to school with everyone, and even her fear that their current battle with Galaxia could be their last. It is Minako’s encouraging words that dispel Rei’s doubts, and the two are even closer for it.
Though Michiru and Rei barely interact in the manga, for some reason it is Michiru that Rei looks to during her dream in the Dead Moon Circus. Rei and Michiru have a lot in common as people as well as senshi. Both of them both have psychic abilities, a natural beauty and elegant talent. As senshi they are both fierce fighters. It shows that Rei must admire Michiru in some way, and that connection must have allowed her spirit to seek her guidance. It is Michiru’s words that initiates Rei’s new attack “Mars Flame Sniper”, a powerful attack that destroys the disillusionment of Dead Moon House of Mirrors.
Phobos and Deimos are denizens of the Planet Coronis, who have befriended Rei when she first moved to the Hikawa Shinto Shrine. Noticeably she doesn’t treat them as pets, but friends. Towards the end of the manga, Phobos and Deimos come to Rei’s aide, giving her her Mars Crystal in order to transform. The crows also aide Rei and Minako in their fight with Sailor Red Crow. Even though they come from a different planet, they wish to help Rei, and would even sacrifice their lives for her.
Despite how much Rei can find inner strength in herself, like Usagi, she finds more strength in the company of her friends. With the involvement of the senshi and their common goal, Rei can defeat her enemies and also stand by her own dreams. Though she is outwardly cold and unapproachable to most, within she is like an ardent flame, burning passionately.

[Other important stuff]
[Sample post]
[First Person]
What do you think of your home world? Tokyo is my home. It’s congested, noisy but that’s where my friends and grandpa are. So it’s home.
If you could go back home, would you? Why or why not? I would, I have to fulfill my destiny as a sailor senshi.
You're asked to take someone out for a date. Do you agree? If so, describe what you would do. If not, tell why. No. I don’t have time for dates. They’re better off with someone who will enjoy their company.
You are a given a mission. Would you complete it effectively or would you goof off and do something else? If it was an important mission, of course, I’ll complete it.
Do you have any future goals or dreams? What are they? To take over my family shrine and become Head priestess.
Am I asking too many personal or strange questions? Yes, but this is your job.
Do you believe in the magic of friendship? Magic of friendship? I don’t know if I would put it that way, but my friends have definitely changed my life.
Would you prefer being the stalker, or the one being stalked? And what would you do? Doesn't Minako stalk idols? I don’t have time for either. Being stalked sounds like an invasion and stalking takes too much energy.
How is space? Quiet…and large? But it is beautiful and it does make you feel that you are spiritually connected to something bigger and infinite.

[The feed starts and there’s a girl with long dark hair and piercing dark eyes, her half are shifting two a deck of tarot cards. Her eyes shifts over to the dreamberry as if knowing it was on and recording.]
…if anyone is interested. I do fortunetelling, and I don’t mind extending these services to everyone.
I know this is a dreamworld, but that doesn’t mean people don’t have uncertainties. [ She shows the cards to the camera view, fanning them out. The tarot cards are The Star, The High Priestess, The Tower, The Hermit and The World.]
Maybe these cards can give you some insight. [ She shrugs lightly, her dark hair shifting from side to side.] That’s all I really have to say.
[And there’s a mild flash of annoyance.] If it’s not pertaining to fortunetelling, then don’t respond to this call.
[Because she’s noticed people have the tendency to do that. She ends the feed.]
[Third Person]
Rei’s heels clicked against the floor of the Church of Roses, echoing within the empty house of worship. It was a beautiful establishment and it felt very peaceful within it's doors. There was a calming presence that this sacred place brought to her, but in truth she couldn’t really connect to the church.
She thought back to how she arrived in Somarium, and managed to find her friends, and gain a few more. Still there was something that was missing. Her role as a senshi will always remain as long as her friends needed her and danger still was present. That was something Sailor Mars needed, but what Rei yearned for was different.
I wish there was a shrine here.
The only thing closest to her heart, other than being a sailor soldier, was her Grandfather’s shrine. Back home she woke up every morning to do her priestess duties, and after school she returned to the shrine to do the same. The shrine was part of her life as being a senshi was. It was kind of something she devoted her life to and hopefully it would be her future.
I guess a dream world can be imperfect. It can’t have everything.
Rei didn’t trust the idea of a dream world and Somarium seemed anything but one. Dreams were a major influence here, but It didn’t contain all the people she loved. People couldn’t do everything they desired in this realm. If anything it seemed they were displaced and placed into a fishbowl. She wasn’t sure if she will ever get used to living here, but maybe Rei could if she had the very thing she truly wanted. The thing that could make her feel at home.
Rei looked around the church, sitting down on one of the pews. She considered to herself. Maybe this is why I came here….
Even though it was a church it didn’t really have any signifier of a particular religion. She had been expecting to see a cross, but she suppose a dreamworld had to respect all. It made her think of her private school and the sisters with their rulers. Even they had a cross.
She looked upon the altar, her eyes concentrating on that single point, as if she was in a trance. There was power there, something that beckon her attention. She gained an idea as if some divine force willed it. Maybe….maybe she could erect a Shinto shrine here. She would have to do the research and perform a few purification rites, but she was willing. Plus if Rei wanted to be head priestess of the Hikawa Shrine this would be the perfect way to prove herself.
I can do this. Rei stood up from the pews determined. She began to walk out of the church, only to turn back toward the altar and bow. “Thank you for your guidance.”
[Why do you want to play this character in Somarium?] Serenity needed more company, and I think Rei could be a wonderful addition not only to the SM cast but also Somarium as a whole.
[Which rule was your favorite and why?] Be kind to the other players and staying in character.
[Where did you hear about Somarium?] I’ve been here for over two years now!
