| Main Page Pokemon Digimon Sailor Moon Characters The RPG | Note: Most of time I hear last names used, they are the same as the Japanese version. However, Amy has been reffered to by two different last names (Mizuno and Anderson). I will list both, but I thought you should know. In addition, some scouts never give their last name, but I'll list the Japanese family name anyways. |

Sailor Moon is one of the most-powerful Sailor Scouts (though a case can be made for Sailor Saturn), especially given her 'element' is the soul. She is usually the one who kills the monsters/villain, usually with the 'Moon-Related-Item-Of-The-Season' (MRITOTS). The MRITOTS only appears when Sailor Moon needs it (except for her tiara, which stays on her head). Apparently Sailor Moon has a extra dimension sewn into her boot, because I don't see where else she could hide anything. She also has the Imperium Silver Crystal, a source of power and healing, in her brooch.
Serena gats along well with the other Sailor Scouts, despite fights with Raye. She is dating Darien (something that, if I were her parents, I'd have major problems with: Darien's in college and Serena's just entering high school. To quote my friend, it's like having her [younger] sister dating her ex-boyfriend.). Obviously, their relationship lasts, because cute but mysterious little Rini is revealed to be Serena and Darien's daughter from the future.
Here's something I've never been able to figure out: Serena is a blonde with a unique hairstyle. How many of these are there in Tokyo? Shouldn't the villains be able to figure out who Sailor Moon is? I know Serena is an unlikely superhero, but this is ridiculous. (it's Sailor Moon Syndrome (SMS)! Just another of the fun and useful character complexes (like Tenchi Syndrome)) Unless thousands of Sailor Moon fans bleach their hair and spend hours trying to get it into the meatball 'do...

Amy is Sailor Mercury, the first Scout located by Serena and Luna. At first, Luna believed she was working for the Negaverse, but investigation showed she was just caught up in a plot.
Besides the standard Scout abilities (transformation, attacks, etc.), Sailor Mercury carries a minicomputer and VR goggles, to assist with analysis and tactics. He element is Water/Ice.She is usually the one who urges caution, as well as the one (besides Luna)who usually ends up explaining things.

Raye grew up training at her grandfather's temple, so she has a pretty good insight of the supernatural. On occassion, she has had visions, which is always useful.
As Sailor Mars, her element is fire. She also tends to be one of the more reckless Scouts (not as bad as Sailor Jupiter, though).

Lita goes to the same school as Serena and Amy, though her school uniform is different. It seems she was unable to get one in her size.
As Sailor Jupiter, Lita's element is Lightning. Her physical fitness also pays off, despite the 'magical' nature of combat.

Mina, as Sailor Venus, is actually the first Scout to realize her powers. Under the tutilage of Artemis, she was the masked crimefighter Sailor V. She even got video games and movies made about her (Serena was a big fan). However, threats to Earth took precidence over petty crime, so Sailor V became Sailor Venus.
Sailor Venus's element is Love (aww...). Sailor Venus also has the advantage in that she looks the most like Sailor Moon. This comes in handy, when the Scouts need to convince the villains Serena is not Sailor Moon.

Sailor Pluto takes a protective role towards Rini when she travels back in time. She also seems to know the Outer Scouts (Uranus and Neptune) well, and often works with them.
Pluto's element is Time, and she has some control over it, granted by her post. She carries a 5-foot long "Garnet Rod", that is used in her attacks.
| English Name: | Amara Tenoh |

In the American-translated Sailor Moon, Amara and Michelle are cousins (I will not go into how STUPID that is. It's very obvious they are closer than cousins. But, I'll stop ranting now. Please see a good Sailor Moon site with information on the original series to find out why Amara and Michelle were changed so much.) They work together, regardless of which series you watch, have a very close relationship, and tend to be a bit dismissive(especially Sailor Uranus) of the Inner Sailor Scouts.
Amara discovered she was Sailor Uranus when a yoma (read: evil monster, not-too-tough) attacked someone at a racetrack. Michelle/Sailor Neptune tried to warn her of the responcibilities of accepting her powers, but Amara did anyways. She is characterized with an almost Machivellian desire to save the world, even if a few innocents are lost.
Sailor Uranus's element is Rock. As one of the Outer Sailor Scouts, she is a bit more powerful than your average Scout.
| English Name: | Michelle Kaioh |
| Japanese Name: | Kaioh Michiru |
| Birthday: | March 6 |
| Height: | 5'4" (160 cm) |
| Blood Type: | O |
| Hobbies: | The violin, collecting cosmetics, swimming |
| Favorite Color: | Marine blue |
| Favorite Food: | Sashimi (meat strips) |
| Least Favorite Food: | Kikurage (mushrooms) |
| Favorite Subject: | Music |
| Least Favorite Subject: | None |
| Goal: | To be a concert violinist |
Michelle is Sailor Neptune, whose element is Water. Like Sailor Uranus, she's stronger than your average Sailor Scout. She tends to have visions, which she often phrases (or sees, I can't tell) in oceanic metaphor ("The sea is troubled, cousin")
| English Name: | Hotaru Tomoe |
| Japanese Name: | Tomoe Hotaru |
| Birthday: | January 6 |
| Height: | 3'9" (113 cm) |
| Blood Type: | AB |
| Hobbies: | Reading, collecting lamps |
| Favorite Color: | Purple |
| Favorite Food: | Nihon Soba (Japanese buckwheat noodles) |
| Least Favorite Food: | Milk |
| Favorite Subject: | World History |
| Least Favorite Subject: | Gym |
| Goal: | To be a doctor |
However, their friendship runs into some problems. It seems Hotaru's dad effectivly 'sold his soul' in order to save her life when she was young. Unfortunatly, an evil being known as 'Mistress Nine' (a.k.a the Sovreign of Silence) took up cohabitation inside of Hotaru in the process. This is bad, especially since Mistress Nine would really like nothing better than to destroy the world.
Hotaru is Sailor Saturn, one of the most powerful Sailor Scouts, and the one with the worst reputation (Sailor Scout of Destruction, will cause the Appocalypse, that kind of stuff). Her element is Death (and Life). She also gets a neat 'Silence Glaive', that looks like it could do serious damage. Even in her mundane form, Hotaru can heal others, and Sailor Saturn can actually destroy a planet (not as useful as you'd think. She has to be on the planet in question.) Her power is used to save the world, but she dies in the process. However, Sailor Moon uses her own power to have Hotaru reborn.

Serena and Rini sometimes have problems getting along (Gee, and most kids love their parents until they're teenagers. Guess kids don't like their parents when they're teenagers.), but Rini absolutly loves Darien. This makes Serena a bit jeleaous until she finds out there's nothing to be jeleaous about (the whole daughter-from-the-future thing.)
Rini returns to the past during the next season. This time, her mother (read: Serena's future self) sent her back to learn how to be a Sailor Scout (and because she remembered having Rini around, but lets try to avoid the temporal paradoxes today.) She encourages Rini to make friends, and Rini meets Hotaru Tomoe, who becomes her best friend.
At one point in the series, Rini goes evil (as Wicked Lady), and under dark magic, grows up a bunch and starts dressing in black and flirting with Darien (*shudder* the last time I was that disturbed was when I read Oedipus Rex for English class!). Eventually, it's revealed that her memories were altered, and she remebers the truth and things are all peachy again.
Rini is Sailor Mini Moon, which is just an awful name and I really can't refrain from making bad jokes about it (Serena making the Dr. Evil guesture:"I shall call you...Mini-Moon). Sorry. Sailor Mini Moon (*snicker*) is a junior Sailor Scout, with the same element as Sailor Moon (the soul) and a few problems making her transformations and attacks work. Rini at one point also harbored the Imperium Silver Crystal, which enabled her and Serena to defeat the Doom Phantom.

Darien is apparently pretty good-looking (he was a model at one point), and Raye had a crush on him, before the whole "Darien-is-Tuxedo-Mask" thing. He's currently dating Serena, and his daughter-from-the-future Rini is currently visiting, so I guess that works out.
As Tuxedo Mask, Darien dispenses advice and over-long moralizing speeches whenever the Sailor Scouts are in trouble. His signature attack and sure-fire attention-grabber is a thrown red rose (Pokemon makes fun of this by having James of Team Rocket at several points be holding a rose, and even throwing it, with a suction cup attached). He also has an 'extendo-cane' and a black cloak.
Darien is associated with the Earth (in his past life, he was Prince of the Earth and Serena was Princess of the Moon). So I guess, if he was a girl, he'd (or she'd. I don't know which one to use) be Sailor Earth. Ooh, there's a disturbing thoguht.
