My name is Kotori Hino, I'm fourteen years old and my friends and I are trying to save the world.

I'm also a Princess of the Moon Kingdom.

And a Magical Girl.

I banish demons, fight evil spirits and research cures for curses.

I have a secret identity, a secret mission, a secret life and far too much homework to do considering those.

Sometimes, if I'm very lucky, I have time to go to dances and club meetings.

And sometimes when I attend dances and Photo club meetings demons and other monsters show up, just in case I was getting bored or acting like a normal schoolgirl.

But I am a member of the Sailor Zodiac Senshi, and I will never forgive anyone who seeks to ruin the lives and happiness of my fellow students.

In the name of the Stars I will punish them.




More importantly, I have a twin and she's my best friend.

Tomoko is also a Magical Girl and a Princess of the Moon Kingdom and she fights evil as well.

I don't think she does as much homework, but she's very energetic and she excels at sports of all kinds. Softball, rollerblading, ice skating, racing. She can do anything. Someday I think she's going to be a very famous athlete.

Together, she and I are Sailor Gemini of the Zodiac Senshi.

The Sailors of Surprise.

Named after the moons of our home we are Sailor Gemini Deimos and Sailor Gemini Phobos. We will fight apart if we must, but together we are stronger.

We fight alongside the other Senshi, other Princesses of the Moon Kingdom, including our older sister Kijiko. Sailor Scorpio, Sailor Sagitarius, Sailor Taurus, Sailor Aries, Sailor Pisces, and Sailor Cancer. We seem to be jumping from world to world, slowly reconstructing the Time Princess, so we can return to our Tokyo and find Neo Queen Serenity.

Our cat Guardian, Diana, gives us advice and tries to watch over us. It was she who taught us how to transform and now she teaches us how to be a better team.



There are also four mysterious Knights of the Chinese Zodiac, recovered from the spells that once had them as our opposition. Four have fought alongside us now, TatsuKishi, InoshishiKishi, Ryokken and my dear Nekishi who was the first to oppose us and then recover. He was also the first to discover our secret identities, that poor TatsuKishi seems unwilling to see.

Nekishi also took me to the Harvest Festival Dance at Kagemori Academy, which was really very sweet and romantic, even if it did get ruined by Yoma and ice demons and vampires. At least the night was perfect up until then. He even asked me to dance. Though he'd done that before too at Ohtori Academy. And there the dance was ruined by Nanami and Yoma too. I think all our enemies are conspiring to see that Nekishi-sama and I never have a perfect date! Those who ruin the romantic dreams of a young girl can never be forgiven!










This here is a picture of my mother when she was my age. She is Rei Hino, the Princess of Mars and she was a member of the Sailor Scouts. She fought alongside Neo Queen Serenity to help save Earth. Isn't she beautiful?

She was a Shinto Fire Priestess and she taught me mystic arts that allow me to banish demons and fight curses. She's healthy and smart and beautiful and she can do anything. I really love her and I hope I can grow up to be like her.

She said when she was my age she wanted to be a model and an idol singer and a Shinto Priestess and a wife to her beloved. I wish I knew what I wanted to be as well as she did.

She took care of her Grandfather and kept up a temple and trained as a Fire Priestess. She went to a really prestigous private school and even coordinated festivals for her Temple as well as being a Sailor Scout and still she managed to keep up her social schedule and date. She's so amazing.

I like being a Shinto Priestess and I love photography but I don't know what I want to do yet.

Though of course I want to be a wife to my beloved.

Not that I have a beloved. I mean, I'm too young to have a beloved I think. But maybe love doesn't recognize age at all so maybe I do have a beloved and I just don't see it yet. Or maybe I don't. I'm not sure. But I definately want to be a wife to my beloved. When I find him. If I haven't found him already.



But I don't want to be split up from my twin, so maybe my Beloved and her Beloved will be friends and we can all live in a palace together in the Moon Kingdom. That is, I hope that my Beloved can come to the Moon Kingdom, I hope that he's not restricted by being in time and out of it. Or something like that. Time gets very confusing without Setsuna around.

We can all live in the Moon Kingdom and defend it from danger. Just like Mother does. And that way I don't have to leave Tomoko and I can still be a wife to my beloved. Perfect.
