Club She's In: She goes to the T*A Private Girls School and so doesn't participate in clubs with the other girls (since they go to Juuban or Tenth Street [Crossroads] in the series), but at her school she is considered a queen, and many girls want to be like her.

Dream: to be a head priestess at her shrine; to be a singer/song writer, a model, a wonderful seiyuu (voice actress!!), and the wife of someone she loves.

Mythology: Mars is the Roman god of war and the Greek god Ares.

Rei's father is a politician, and her mother died when she was very young. So she went to live at her grandfather's shrine, Cherry Hill Temple  and Rei also goes to a private school, which means she doesn't have to take the tough exams to be accepted into a High School. However, she studies with the girls anyway, and later claimed she "felt their pain" in Sailor Stars. She also hosted the study sessions at her shrine, and would push uagi to study.

Sometimes Rei has a bad temper and will yell at Usagi a lot and Yuuchiro (Chad), the wandering musician who stays at her shrine to train. Yuuichiro actually likes her, and the two have a special relationship with Yuuchiroushowing his love while rei yells at him. Rei is very protective of Usagi, and Usagi can do that too. This can be seen at the end of the series (read the Stars summary for more info); when all the Inner Sailors were dying, Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus had a short death scene with the Sailor Starlights, while Mars had a long (and sad!!) death scene saying goodbye to Sailor Moon. She apologizes frpo not being able tp protect her. The end of the Sailor Moon series is the sam thing when she kills two enemies and sacrifices herself to save Sailor Moon. Rei also has a special friendship with Chibi-usa and Rei acts more protective of Chibi-usa.

As Sailor Mars, her fire attacks are considered the strongest of the Inner Sailors besides Sailor Moon.

Anime Phrases And Attacks

Sailor Mars Introduction: For love and fire, I am the pretty, sailor-suited fighter, Sailor Mars! In the name of Mars, I will chastise you!

Sailor Moon

Mars Power, Make up! (Mars Power)
Rei says this to transform into Sailor Mars. This was given to her by Luna when Sailor Moon was in trouble... and of course Mars saved her.

Fire Soul! (Mars Fire Ignite)
Sailor Mars says this to generate a large amount of fire, that she blasts at an enemy. Mars used this throughout the series, even when she learned more powerful attacks. She's occasionally hit some of the Sailors with this attack too.

Aku Ryo Tai San! (I call upon the power of Mars, Fireballs Charge)
Sailor Mars says this when she throws an anti-evil scroll at an opponent. The scroll paralyzes the opponent, making them more susceptible to attacks. However, this isn't an attack she received as Sailor Mars; it's something she learned as a priestess of her shrine. The dub messed up on the whole Mars Fireball Charge.. since it doesn't have anything to do with Mars or fireballs...
 A translation for Aku Ryo Tai San is "Evil Spirit Begone." Sometimes she uses the full length chant, which is "Rin, pyou, tou, sha, kai, jin, retsu, sai, zen. Akuryou taisan!" Or, when she's meditating in front of the fire, she says "Rin, pyou, tou, sha, kai, jin, retsu, sai, zen!" to see an image in the flames.

Sailor Moon R

Mars Star Power, make up! (Mars Star Power)
Rei says this to transform into Sailor Mars. It was given to her by the cats and is supposedly 10 times more powerful then the previous transformation. There's nothing really different... except when she finishes transforming and poses, her planetary symbol glows in the background.
