* PersonalityPowers: She controls fire, and in the original anime, she is hot-tempered. Averted in the manga and ''Crystal'' where she is a level-headed and standoffish Shinto priestess.

* SugarAndIcePersonality: In the manga and the live-action, she is aloof, cynical and [[DeadpanSnarker sarcastic]], but kind to children and a loyal soldier who is deeply grateful for her TrueCompanions. {{Downplayed|Trope}} in ''Anime/SailorMoonCrystal'', where she is more of a ShrinkingViolet, and outright averted in the 90s anime, where she is a hot-tempered {{Tsundere}}.

* CombatStilettos: Though not extremely high, it's even {{Lampshaded}} in a [[InTheNameOfTheMoon pre-fighting line]] that heads the CombatStilettos Trope Page: "I'll punish you in high heels!"

* EnergyBow: Sailor Mars's Flame Sniper shoots some sort of red/orange energy. The bow itself appears during the casting of the spell and is made of fire.



* LoonyFriendsImproveYourPersonality: Depending on the version, Rei started as either an AloofDarkHairedGirl or a HotBlooded {{Tsundere}} who spent all her free time working as a miko at her shrine with only her grandfather for company. She grows beyond this after hanging around with goofy characters like Usagi and Minako.



* {{Martians}}: During the Silver Millenium, Sailor Mars was the princess of Mars and {{Human Alien|s}}.

Added DiffLines:

* PaperMaster: She uses an AsianRuneChant and {{ofuda}}-throwing with "Akuryō Taisan!" (literally Evil Spirits, Begone!") to kill monsters. In ''Sailor Moon R: The Movie'', an enormous spiral of ofuda is used as a weapon (which, coincidentally, is what the same attack she does in the live-action version).

Added DiffLines:

* RedGreenContrast: With Makoto. Rei is a rude, bitter, short-tempered JerkWithAHeartOfGold who controls fire, and she wears red, while Makoto is a kind, sweet, calm NiceGirl who controls thunder, and she wears green. Doubles as TenderTomboyishnessFoulFemininity.


Added DiffLines:

* TarotTroubles: The manga implies Rei is capable of fortunetelling in this manner in addition to staring into her fire. The closest we ever get to seeing her do it on page is a little goofy sketch on the side, and even then, it's not clear if the cards are Tarot, but they probably are. In the ''Stars'' arc, Rei says she did a reading, and the Death card showed up. The inaccurate meaning of death is most likely meant as [[spoiler:everyone dying]], but considering Galaxia's ultimate plan, the true meaning of change/transformation could work too.

Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* ArcherArchetype: While she's skilled at archery in most versions, Rei fits this especially well in the manga. She is slender, [[LadyOfWar elegant]], smart, [[TheStoic stoic]], accustomed to being alone, and from the [[{{Ojou}} upper class]]. While she [[HotBlooded isn't anywhere near as stoic]] in the '90s anime, and she isn't stated to come from a wealthy family, it is made clear that she initially has no respect for Usagi as a fellow Guardian.

Added DiffLines:

* RoughOveralls: Rei is occasionally seen wearing a pair of pink overalls. The outfit demonstrates Rei's dual traits as both girly but also ready to jump into "less refined" activities. Their premiere episode shows this as Rei is first seen in the overalls while pretending to [[ImplausibleDeniability not at all be interested in visiting]] the studio for [[ShowWithinAShow the ''Sailor V'' anime]].

* TokenReligiousTeammate: Sshe is this in the manga and ''Crystal''. She takes her miko duties seriously and her dream is to become the head priestess of her family's [[UsefulNotes/{{Shinto}} Shinto shrine]]. One of her attacks is even called "Burning Mandala" (though the term ultimately originates from Hinduism).

* AntiHero: Not as much in the original Japanese anime or in the manga, but certainly more prevalent in the [=DiC=] dub and the live action. In the latter she's notably a no-hugging, no-kissing kind of person in a show full of PowerOfLove.
** Her original manga characterization also has some shades of anti-heroism. Mostly thanks to her antisocial and aloof personality and [[DoesNotLikeMen misandrist tendencies]].

* PandaingToTheAudience: Pandas are listed as Rei's favorite animal. However, this is more of an InformedAttribute. Since there are no pandas in Japan, it never comes up, and in most versions, she has more of an affinity for crows.

Hypocrite isn't to be listed when it's sub-tropes are like Hypocritical Heartwarming.


* {{Hypocrite}}: Rei often scolds and mocks Usagi for certain traits and habits, yet she herself exhibits the exact same behavior or does it after scolding Usagi for doing so. One of the best examples of this is in the fifth season, when Usagi is shown worrying about Seiya, at which point Rei shows up and says, "Stop worrying about someone else and go study!" Ignoring that Rei is, at that moment, worrying about someone else and ''not'' studying.

* HypocriticalHeartwarming: Rei will scold Usagi for being a whiny, lazy, klutzy crybaby at any given moment on any given day of the week. But she will not stand by and let anyone else badmouth Usagi, including Chibiusa. When Rei does it, she does it to motivate Usagi into being better rather than just being needlessly cruel.

** Part of the reason for the change in the original adaptation was that Rei was the least popular of Inner Senshi, constantly losing popularity polls. But she was greatly favored by the showrunner. So when it came time to adapt Rei into the series, they went out of their way to giver her a more fiery temper to make her more appealing, which resulted in her becoming one of the more popular Senshi.



** She does have some shades of anti-heroism even in the manga. Mainly through her antisocial and aloof personality and [[DoesNotLikeMen misandrist tendencies.]]
