 Raye is the Sailor Senshi of fire and devination, Sailor Mars (in addition to being the Princess of Mars, her home planet). She is very outspoken, storng-willed, and ambitious. She is also very opinionated (especially towards Serena/Usagi ^_^). Raye's hot temper and aggressiveness start fights faster than sunlight can reach the Earth (^_^)! She is able to turn all of that around and use it to her advantage, though. As the Sailor Senshi, Sailor Mars, her firey offense and mastery of Shinto practices and ESP prove to be a devistating combo to the various forces of evil.
 Raye lives with her "ojii-san" (or grandfather) and a bum (explained in the DiC dub to be an ex-rock star) named Chad (Yuuchirou) at the Hikawa Jinja Shrine (Cherry Hill Temple). Raye's grandfather isn't your typical grandfather. He is, in reality, even though he may not mean it, a pervert! Even the DiC dub doesn't say anything about this directly, there are newspapers and signs posted around town to warn people about the grandfather's perverted actions and to stay away from the Temple! Chad isn't as bad as Raye's grandfather is, but he is kind of annoying. Chad had stumbled upon the Cherry Hill Temple while wondering around aimlessly in a nearby forest. (Aother story is that Chad used to be a rock star, but he contracted stage fright. And he came to the Temple to get over his "phobia"). Anyway, Chad does odd jobs around the Temple, while having a mad love for Raye (despite her harsh "exterior" to love). (*To find out more about Raye's grandfather, Chad, and his love for Raye, stop by my "SailorMoon Supporting Cast" page!).
 Raye is discovered to be Sailor Mars (the 3rd Senshi) in the 1st season of Sailormoon when reports begin to circulate about the disappearances of transportation busses (from the Cherry Hill Temple) and everyone blames Raye and her grandfather for it! When Serena, Amy/Ami, and Luna decide to check things out for themselves, Raye "wigs out" at a lady who continuously accuses Raye of aving something to do with the busses disapperaing. Even when Serena tries to ask Raye an innocent question, Raye gets on the defensive immediately (with a mouth ready to "attack" ^_^). Luna senses that Raye holds a great promise within her and a transformation stick for the Sailor Senshi, Sailor Mars, is left behind. To make things short, when a NegaVerse/Dark Kingdom general named Jedite (Jadeite) let his youma fight Sailor Moon and Raye, Raye was told (by Luna) to cry out her morphing phrase and use her Senshi powers to exterminate the youma. All ends up being well and in that episode, Jedite returns to Queen Beryl empty-handed. (Go to my "Shrine of the NegaVerse" page to find out more about Queen Beryl, the 4 generals, and MORE!).
 No conflict in the whole SM series is as widely known as the "conflict" between Serena and Raye. Their arguing most often leads to the embarrassment of their friends and laughter of the viewers and fans of SM. It all started in the 1st series, when Sailor Mars thought Sailor Moon was too much of an idiot and cry-baby to be a Sailor Senshi. Eventually, as the series goes on, Raye pokes fun at Serena every imaginable chance she gets (and on a wide variety of topics! ^_^). If Serena ate too much, Raye would say that Serena's getting fatter. If Sailor Moon screws up a battle, Mars will call it as is (over, and over, and OVER again!). However, when push comes to shove, you know Raye couldn't be a better friend to Serena. They almost have a type of "sister-to-sister" relationship (the hitting and petty theft included ^_^). As with the other Senshi (Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus), Mars is more than prepared to sacrifice herself, if it means a better outcome for all of those involved. What are friends for? (^_^).
 Raye's tough exterior is only a cover for the feeling of tenderness and love Raye hides inside (for the fear of being labeled "vulnerable", or "easy"). She is the perfect person to keep Serena in "check" and "on her toes". Raye's strong ambitions can power any wish, or dream she may have into reality.
*FACTS FROM DIAMOND'S INNER SENSHI INNER CIRCLE:
-It is because of Raye's fire channeling in the very 1st episode of SMS that everyone is finally aware of an eminent danger (the Death Busters/Bureau of Bad Behavior).
-Raye's mother is dead, but her father is an illusive politician.
-Raye's Japanese name (Hino Raye) means "spirit of fire" when translated.
-Sailor Mars is the 1st of the Senshi to make friends with one of the 4 Sisters of Nemesis (Ayakashi Sisters)->Catsy (Cooan).
-Deep down inside, Raye loves Chad with all of her heart. (Don't believe me? Watch episode #99 of the SMS series to find out what I am talking about
