Civilian Info
Japanese name: Rei Hino (spirit of fire)
English name: Raye Hino
Birth date: April 17
Astrological Sign: Aries
Age: 14-16
Blood Type: AB
Hair: Knee length; black with purple highlights (anime), or dark purple (manga)
Eyes: Dark brown, or purple. Sometimes change to red after transforming into Sailor Mars (manga only).
Family: She lives with her Grandfather (mother's side) at Hikawa Jinja (anime) or Cherry Hill Temple (dub).
Takashi Hino, Rei's father, is a very high ranked politician. Rei's mother died when Rei was a young child, and her father left her shortly after at the Hikawa shrine with her maternal grandfather, which was Rei's idea. He is the major reason why Rei does not trust men, in both the manga and live-action series. He is only named in PGSM.
...In the live-action series it is said that while his wife, Risa, was dying, he was busy with work, and never came to see her--for which Rei never forgave him. Also in the live-action series, he and Rei have monthly "lunch dates" so that he can keep up the appearance of being a loving father to his constituents, but Rei knows the real meaning of the meetings and despises him even more for it. Late in the series, he tries to have Rei move back with him because an election is coming up and he doesn't want to lose face. Rei, however, refuses and runs crying to the Crown Karaoke Studio where she spends the night with Ami, herself having just run away from her mother.
...In the manga, he only meets with Rei on her birthday and always gives her bouquets of Casablanca lilies and a white dress, which are always picked out by his secretary. As in PGSM, Rei dislikes him for not visiting his wife while she was dying in the hospital.
...Risa Hino is Rei's late mother, who died while Rei was a child. Not much is known about her. In PGSM, she is said to have loved the story of Princess Kaguya. She is only named in the live-action version, and shown there indirectly. She is shown in flashback in the manga.
Pets: Two crows, Phobos (fear) and Deimos (terror); named after two of the moons of Mars.
School: A Catholic private girls' school (English name unknown). T*A Private Girls School (anime & manga).
Senshi Info
Costume: Skirt, scarf, back bow, choker, and tiara jewel are red. Her front bow is purple. She wears red pumps and star shaped earrings that each hang on a single bead. She also wears a white bodysuit and white gloves that go up to her elbows. The gloves have three red bands at the top.
...In the Sailor Stars series, her sleeves become semi-transparent, a golden star is attached to her choker, and her back bow is tied with a longer ribbon.
Extra Powers: Exorcism Scrolls. The Kanji (Chinese) characters "Akuryou Taisan" translate to "Evil spirits, be-gone!" Most often she says: "Rin, pyou, tou, sha, kai, jin, retsu, sai, zen. Akuryou taisan!" when using a scroll.
...A horned silouhette, visble during the use of a scroll, was cut out of most dubbed episodes (possibly because networks feared satanic references). However, some episodes e.g. "So You Want To Be In Pictures" still have the silhouette (freeze frame on your VCR to see it clearly).
