Raya is her name in the french version of Sailor moon. (Manga Version) and Rea is what they call her in spanish. Her name means Soul of Fire, or that's what I've been told. Dontcha think Naoko Takeuchi (creator of Sailor Moon) must have planned Sailor Moon carefully to have their names all correspond with their powers? Just a thought...

Enough about her name. I'll do the basic stats from the MANGA with Anime in '<>'s and North american Anime in '()'s.

Age: When the series begins she is fourteen, but by the end she is sixteen. (14) She is the oldest out of the five inner senshi due to her space as Aries, first astrologically. They were re-born at the beginning of the astro cycle. Comprende?

Birthday:April 17

Blood Type: AB. AB blood types are rare and those who have them generally have proud and sometimes condescending attitudes. Not right for Hotaru, but....

Astrological sign: Aries. I've always found Rei to correspond more correctly to Scorpio and Taurus... But I'm sure Naoko was thinking of Aries being the mars sign...

Guys: She doesn't have much interest in men and find them to be a waste of time. Her motto is not to depend on a man. (Rei dates often in the Anime.) She dated Mamoru (non seriously) for a bit.In the manga Yuicchiro (Chad) does not exist. She also had feelings for Chad which her pride would not allow her to show. (In the N/A version she finds Chad to be cute but doesn't much like him and actually kinda teases him.)

Guardian: Just like Usagi has Luna, in the Manga, Rei's crows are in fact her protectors who can assume a human form when Rei is in danger.

Relationships with other scouts: In the manga, Rei is serious, religeous and not so much of a cheery social person. She more tends to keep to herself. If with one of the scouts you'd usually find her in the company of Makoto or Minako. Dream: Rei wants to Follow in the footsteps of her grandfather and become a great shinto priestess, A Miko. (In the Anime she also has leanings towards singing, modeling and marrying.)

Strenghth: Although her teaching is in a shinto temple, it is questionable whether or not she's actually had training in the martial arts. She is the strongest physically of the inner scouts, after Makoto of course. Her true strength lies in her wisdom and psychic powers. She has frighteningly accurate and strong intuition and even slight pyrokenetics when in human form.

Power Unknown: Did U all know that Rei becomes SuperStarMars in the Manga? Kinda looks like Eternal Sailor Moon's outfit. Another power she didn't receive in the Anime that I know about is the fire serpant attack.

Romance: In the Manga, Rei never had any interest in Mamoru whatsoever. Back in the silver millenium, Rei was in love with Jadeite, before Queen Beryl got control of him.

Family: Rei is an only child. She lives alone with her grandfather (Who in the original anime is a total pervert)in a temple. Her mother died when she was very young but Rei still has visions and dreams about her sometimes. Her father is a politician and hardly seems to ever make time to see Rei, even on her birthday. (evil...)

School: Rei attends TA private girls' school which works as a junior high and high school in a way which makes it so it's not necessary for her to take high school entrance exams.

Favourite color(s): Red and Black. Just like Mamoru...

Dislike: Rei doesn't really enjoy Television. She finds it to be a waste of time which does nothing for her.

Power: Rei's power comes from Mars, of course. Her attacks are basically all Fire related.

A Bit Of Insight: In the Anime the last person I'd match Rei's character with is Hotaru's because Hotaru was reclusive, very sweet, kind, lonely and softspoken. Wheras Rei is always out and about, sort of conceited, loudmouthed and could be less than nice. In the manga they are actually a lot alike and it would've been cool if Naoko had made them get to know each other better... Just a thought...
