English adaptations), better known as Sailor Mars
(セーラーマーズ, SÄ"rÄ MÄ zu), is a fictional character in the
Sailor Moon manga series written and illustrated by Naoko Takeuchi. In
the series, Rei is her sailor form's alternative human identity as
part of the Sailor Soldiers, female supernatural fighters who protect
the Solar System from evil.Rei is the second Sailor Soldier to be
discovered by Usagi. She possesses powers associated with fire, the
Ofuda charm, and psychic clairvoyance. Aside from the main body of the
Sailor Moon series, Rei is featured in two different manga short
stories. The first, Casablanca Memories, is entirely about her and her
past; the second, Rei and Minako's Girls School Battle, is shared with
Minako Aino. A number of image songs mentioning her character have
been released as well, including the contents of three different CD
singles.Takeuchi based Rei on her own personal experience as a miko.
Originally designed with her own unique outfit, when Takeuchi decided
to give all of the Guardians identical outfits, Rei's high heels were
the only aspect that was carried over. A cold and aloof character in
the manga, her personality was drastically changed in the anime
adaptation at the behest of Kunihiko Ikuhara, where she became fiery
and hotheaded.Rei first appears as a miko at the Hikawa
Shrine(ç «å· ç¥žç¤¾, Hikawa Jinja), and is shown to have an affinity
with two crows who live there. It is revealed in the manga that as a
child, the crows "told" her that their names are Phobos and Deimos
(the same as Mars' two moons). In the manga, she is portrayed as
imperial, ancient, conservative, old-fashioned, traditional, serious,
disciplined, and practical, having contempt for men and disliking
modern romantic relationships.
