| ~ Sailor Mars's stock introduction |
Rei Hino, known as Raven "Raye" Hino in the DiC English dub, is one of the main protagonists of the Sailor Moon series. She is the reincarnation of the Princess of Mars and the civilian identity of Sailor Mars. Rei is a Shinto priestess who works at the temple on Cherry Hill. Rei's element is fire.
She is voiced by Michie Tomizawa in the original anime, Rina Satou from Sailor Moon Crystal who also voiced Tooru Taki from Natsume's Book of Friends in the Japanese Version and Christina Vee in the current VIZ Media English version, who is well known for voicing Homura Akemi from Puella Magi, Alisa Bosconovitch from the Tekken series and Ladybug from Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, while in the original English Dub from DIC she was voiced by Katie Griffin who also voiced Alex from Totally Spies!.
Personality
Anime
In the first anime, Rei Hino was a power-hungry, hot-headed, stubborn, and somewhat tyrannical girl who was obsessed with everything from being a Shinto priestess to being a musical idol. She often sadistically mocks and bickers with Usagi.
Manga
In the manga, Rei Hino was a stoic, serious individual who did not involve herself with men (due in part to her estrangement from her politician father). She was mysterious, reserved and beautiful. Rei's manga image was more fitting with her role as a miko than her anime personality. She and Minako had a strong bond, similar to that seen in the live-action series.
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon
Her personality in the live-action series was very similar to how she was portrayed in the manga. Rei preferred to act aloof and dignified at the beginning of the series, and insisted that she was not interested in being friends with the other girls or joining them in their activities (especially karaoke, which she professed to hate). As time went by, however, she warmed to them and became very close to her fellow Senshi. Of all the Senshi, she was the one who cared the least about her past life, and she often argued with Sailor Venus about that. She also had a very strong bond to Sailor Venus, similar, in certain aspects, to the one she had with Sailor Moon in the anime.
Musicals
In the musicals, Rei was far closer to her anime counterpart than the manga. She dreamed of becoming a composer.
Powers and Abilities
Rei had various powers outside of those as a Senshi, which she used in her duties as a miko. These ranged from ESP to the ability to read flames (fire reading), as well as using ofuda as a weapon. Her ESP often led her to have premonitions about upcoming events.
