Name: Hino Rei (Sailormars)
Age: 14 at start of series
Apparent Gender: Female
Evident Sexual Preference: Heterosexual; possible closeted bicuriosity
Relationships/Liasons: Yuuichiro; Chiba Mamoru (not terribly serious; anime); Minako? (hinted at in manga, but unconfirmed -- likely a ruse); Jadeite (Artbook 1 only)
Gender Role Issues: Not terribly pronounced (anime). Manga character has severe problems trusting men. Very femme.
Miscellaneous: Manga character has attempted to kiss Minako under influence of youma, and has hinted at a closer relationship with her in a late volume. (There is no real basis for the supposition, but the two characters are often presented as close and affectionate in genga and promotional art.) Homophobic streak more pronounced than other senshi (anime only). Resists having a friendship compared to Haruka and Michiru's relationship; protests most vehemently to Makoto's apparent crush on Haruka. Is discovered in episode 96 to have manga with a crossdressed female on the cover, which embarrasses her greatly though no explanation is offered. Attends T*A Public Girls' School (Catholic); is Shinto miko. Lives with a hentai grandfather whose mildly abusive exploits have rated newspaper coverage.
