Lita has the appearance of, and often acts like, a tomboy. She is a lot taller than the other scouts, and gets into fights a lot. But this tough apperance is only a way of protecting herself, her past has been really hard on her and she often feels vulnerable. Both of her parents died in an airplane crash, so she lives alone in an apartment. Since she's by herself, she has to cook and clean for herself. She is quite the chef, and wants to open her own world-famous restuarant someday.

Beacuse Lita was alone in this big world, she was eagar to share her life with someone, preferably a guy. She fell in love with a boy named Freddie, and they were together for a long time. She was so glad that there was someone out there to love her. But one rainy day at the park Freddie dumped poor Lita and left her crying out in the rain. I can sympathise with Lita personally, and believe me, nothing hurts more than when someone you love, and someone you thought loved you in return, suddenly doesn't anymore. It's the ultamate rejection. So Lita was abandoned and emotionally wounded until her 'Rainy Day Man,' Ken, came and found her, dripping wet and freezing. He offered her shelter under his umbrella, and she realized that a good friend like Ken is all she really needed. I cried when I saw that episode, I just happened to see it for the first time the day my boyfriend dumped me, kinda creepy...

Soon after her dissapointment with Freddie, Lita transferred to Ami and Serena's school. The rumors floating around school said she had been kicked out of her old school for fighting, but the truth was she couldn't stand being at her old school anymore. Too many sad memories. On her first day at Crossroads Jr. High School, Lita saved Serena from a bunch of bullies, and durring lunch break Serena approached Lita dispite what her friends said about her. Lita shared some of her home made lunch with Serena and the two became good friends. Later that day Lita was discovered to be Sailor Jupiter.

Jupiter is probably the most level headed of the scouts, except when it comes to guys. She thinks every single somewhat cute guy looks like her old boyfriend. But other than that, she is the most willing to be a Sailor Scout, and sort of a morale booster in battle. She is the most powerful scout, and the strongest too. As Sailor Jupiter, she has the power of thunder.

In short, Lita acts like a tomboy to protect herself from being emotionally crushed, but in reality she is a girl desperate for love and attention.
