Rini is little, loud, and sometimes annoying. She lives in the furure, and is the daughter of Neo-Queen Serenity and King of Earth, Serena and Darien's future selves. When her home, Crystal Tokyo, was attacked by the forces of the Negamoon, and her mother was frozen in sleep, she went to the Tokyo of the past (our present) to find the Silver Crystal of the past. If she found it, the negamoon could be defeated, because the Silver Crystal of the future had dissapeared. Sailor Pluto, who Rini affectionatly calls LunaP or Pupu helped her travel through time. Pluto kept watch over Rini through the Luna Ball, a toy cat's head that follows Rini wherever she goes. Rini would often talk to Pluto through the Luna ball, to ask for help and advice.
When Rini came to our present, she fell out of the sky, right on top of Serena and Darien. Serena immediatly remarked at how much the pink haired girl looked like her. Rini yelled at Serena to give her the Silver Crystal, which made both Serna and Darien think that she might be from the Negaverse. Meanwhile, Rini managed to brainwash all of Serena's family (except Serena) into thinking she was a cousin visiting from out of town. Needless to say, Serena was very peeved about this. She can't stand the 'pink haired spore,' but for some reason she feels drawn to protect her.
When Rini was in the past/present, evil villains from the Negamoon kept stalking her and trying to catch her. When she'd get sad, scared, or in trouble, she'd start crying her head off . That would make a little crescent moon appear on her forehead and she'd send a huge beam of purple light into the heavens, called the moon beam. This beam of light often told the Negamoon villains exactly where to find her, but it also helped the Sailor Scouts know when she was in trouble. Little did Rini know, the reason the Negamoon villains were after her was because the Silver Crystal had somehow transferred inside her body, which is why it had been missing from the future. Rini had thought the Crystal had been stolen, and that was why she was in the past looking for it.
One day when Rini was being a little snoop, she accidentally saw the Scouts transforming. She was totally dissapointed to find out Serena was Sailor Moon, because she thought Sailor Moon was a nice person and Serena hates her guts.
Finally, Rini told the Scouts about how Crystal Tokyo was being attacked by the Negamoon, and all the Scouts agreed to go to the future and help out.Rini used her Crystal Key, and transported herself and all the Scouts to Sailor Pluto's time gate. Pluto opened the door to the future for them. There, they wer told by Dariens future self, King of Earth, that Rini was Serena and Darien's daughter of the future.
In the future, Rini wandered away from the Scouts and met Wise Man, a powerful leader of the Negamoon. He led Rini to beleive that nobody loved her, and that she was unwanted. He said he'd help her avenge those who didn't love her. Wise Man turned her into Wicked Lady, which made Rini age rapidly, from 5 to 20. She fought against the Sailor Scouts until they convinced her she was truly loved and wanted. When she realized she was cared for, she grew young again.
Right after Rini got good again, Wise Man attacked the Scouts. Serena turned into Neo-Queen Serenity and used her Silver Crystal against him, but it was not enough power to defeat him. All the Scouts pooled in their power, but it still wasn't enough. It was right then that Rini realized the Silver Crystal had somehow transferred into her body. Rini then turned into Neo-Princess Small Lady and used her Silver Crystal to fight along side her mother. The Silver Crystals of the Present and Future together destroyed the Wise Man.
After long goodbyes, Rini went back to Crystal Tokyo, which was once again beautiful and fully restored.
In the next season, Sailor Moon S, Rini returns to the present so she can go to a normal school. When she returned, not only has she matured, she had her own powers. She was now Sailor Minimoon, scout in training. She fights along side Sailor Moon because her powers aren't powerful enough by herself, they're mostly for the purpose of driving th enimies nuts.
The 4th season of Sailor Moon is heavily based around Rini, it tells a sweet love story between her and a boy named Helios. This all started when Rini began to have beautiful dreams about a tranquil forest and a majestic pegasis. In real life, the Dead Moon Circus had come to earth to find and capture that pegasis. The pegasis hid out in the beautiful dreams of humans, and the Dead Moon Circus had to find the dreams that the pegasis was in. They needed to capture Pegasis and get his horn, because the horn held a specail crystal that would allow the evil Queen Neherinia to enter this world and take it over. The pegasis was hiding for this very reason.
One evening, the 2 Moon girls were out walking and they saw a member of the dead moon circus, Tiger Eye, attacking Andrew's (the cute guy from the Arcade) little sister. They transformed and went to her aid. They were having trouble beating this enemy, and Chibi Moon called out for somebody, anybody, to help them. That's when Pegasis appeared. He charged up Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibi Moon into Super Sailors and gave Sailor Moon a new weapon, her Kalide Moon Scope. Super Sailor Moon then used Moon Gorgeous Meditation for the first time. Rini was so excited that Pegasis responded to her call.
Rini and Pegasis became very close, he would visit her in her room every night and they would talk about matters of the heart. The two had a lot in common. Chibi Moon would call on Pegasis in battle by using her Crystal Twinkle Bell.
Pegasis turned out to be a young boy named Helios. He and Rini fell in love, and he gave Rini her first kiss. Helios had to go back to where he came from, though, but Rini will always cherish his memory.
Rini, at first, is incredibly annoying, but as time goes on she matures and actually becomes kinda cool. The Pegasis thing is so sweet, you can't help but like her. Minimoon has the power of, um, pink stuff... LOL ^_^ Actually, she is literally just a mini-sailor moon and is training for the very purpose of taking over Sailor Moon's job when she becomes Neo-Queen Serenity in the future.
Sailor Minimoon is also, and more commonly called, Sailor Chibimoon. This was her name in the original Japanese story, and changed to Minimoon in the English dub. The word "Chibi" in Japanese means small, or diminutive, which is the exact same definition as "Mini". Many SM fans have ranted and raved about the name change, but really I think the dubbers were rather creative. Look on the bright side, at least it's not Sailor Diminutivemoon, right? ~_^
