## Physical Description

### Info

Rei Hino is the civilian identity and present-day incarnation of Sailor Mars.

### Appearance

#### Civilian

She has straight long black hair with a purple shine and purple eyes. She stands at about 160  cm or 5 feet 3 inches. She is often seen wearing her red and white traditional priestess uniform or her winter school uniform. Her summer uniform has her wearing a light gray formal vest with a white short-sleeved sailor uniform with a dark red ribbon tied in the center, gray skirt, white knee-high socks, and black shoes. Her uniform between both winter and summer school uniforms is dark gray with red linings.

Her primary casual appearance has her wearing a teal leather jacket with an orange turtleneck, purple skirt, orange stockings, and pale yellow knee-length heeled boots.

Her uniform in Sailor Stars is the same as her winter school uniform from her middle school but has a minor color change.

#### Sailor Senshi

As a Sailor Senshi, she retains her civilian appearance with a gold tiara on her forehead along with a red tiara stone on front. She wears a white sailor leotard and the color of her sailor uniform is red with a single white linings to match up with her red skirt, back bow and her matching red high heels. Her front bow is purple with a red round gem at the center and was accessorized with a dangling red star earrings in each side of her earlobe and white gloves with red linings.

### Personality

Rei is a fiery, priestess with ambitions to become a singer, songwriter, model, voice actress and eventually settling down into marriage.

Her relationship with Usagi was turbulent, and the two often argued with each other. Rei even admitted at one point, she felt like Usagi was not a fit leader. Regardless, she is extremely loyal to her.

She seemed to show her affection to the people she cares about the most in odd ways, such as her teasing Usagi, which often hurt her feelings, especially in the early parts of the series, or joking with Yuuichirou.

Though Rei sometimes bickered with Usagi, she clearly cares deeply about her and valued her friendship very much, and often seemed closer to her than the other Senshi. (In the Stars season, she was the first person whom Usagi told that Mamoru had not contacted her, and Rei was so distraught that she wondered out loud why Usagi had to suffer so much). Rei attends a separate school from the other girls, a private Catholic school run by nuns. She works at Hikawa Shrine with her grandfather who was the head priest.

Rei's personality reflects her Sailor Mars power. She is a hothead, who gets into an angry rage quite easily. She is shown to be tough on others from time.

### Skills and Abilities

* **Precognition:** Rei is shown to have strong precognition, where she can make full use of this ability to predict events from the near future, but it can fail sometimes.

* **Pyromancy:** Rei is also shown to have a great affinity with fire, to the point where she is capable to manifest her future sights by forming images on the flames. The images are very enigmatic and unreliable.
* **Purification:** Even when she is in her civilian form, she can use her "ofuda" (a Shinto talisman used to protect homes from evil spirits) to "exorcize" people, while yelling "Evil Spirit, Disperse!" (although it can cause normal people to faint, as shown in episode 10 when she tried to "purify" Usagi).
* **Sixth Sense:** Rei is sometimes shown to have a "sixth sense", using it to detect "evil presences" and approaching danger, as shown in Chapter 6 of Codename: Sailor V manga, but it can fail sometimes when she mistook Usagi for an evil spirit.
* **Expert Archer:** As a Shrine Priestess, she is an expert archer, and this potential is shown in her "Mars Flame Sniper" attack.
