SENSHI IDENTITY: Sailorsolstice, The Senshi of the Summer and Winter Solstices
REAL NAME: Laurie Tojino (Name means Laurie of the Winter Solstice)
AMERICAN DUB NAME ^_^ : Laurie Thomas
BIRTHDATE & SIGN: June 22, Cancer
SENSHI COLORS: Medium blue and yellow
TEAM: A member of the Witch Senshi

WEAPONS AND ATTACKS: Sailorsolstice is the keeper of the Crocus Wreath of the Solstice.

Solstice Snowglobe Seizure: Calling on her power over Winter (because of the Winter Solstice), Sailorsolstice cries, "Solstice Snowglobe Seizure!" and tosses her Crocus Wreath at her target like a frisbee. The wreath lands on the person's head, then materializes a transparent globe around them that they cannot escape from. Snow begins to fall inside the globe. It can be shaken and rolled around with the person inside, just like a real snow globe. The attack lasts as long as the wreath is on the person's head, and/or as long as the snowglobe is intact, since it can be broken. This attack can be used to trap someone who is making a nuisance of him/herself and really shake them up.
Mordant Shower Dawning: Sailorsolstice throws her Crocus Wreath up into the air and claps her hands twice. As the wreath begins to fall she cries, "Mordant Shower..." She then catches the Wreath in one hand triumphantly and yells, "... Dawning!" Solstice takes hold of it with her other hand and holds it out in front of her like a steering wheel. A kind-of portal forms inside the Wreath and ice water along with sharp, long icicles shoot out at the enemy from the middle of the Wreath. The basics of this attack were created for me by one of my readers, Sailor Marla.
Calendar Compression: This attack can only be done by Solstice and Equinox together. Because the Equinoxes and Solstices sort of bookend the year, they have a limited amount of power over how fast it moves, by being able to slow down time for everyone but themselves. The two senshi put their hands together, palms flat, then bring them apart. Images symbolic of events that happen during the year magically appear between their hands as they say, "Calendar..." For instance, transparent scenes of families celebrating various holidays might be seen. Then they cry, "...Compression!" and slap their hands together. Everyone else begins to move slowly as Solstice and Equinox are able to move at regular speed. They can certainly use this to their advantage, by attacking someone while they are unable to move quickly enough to defend themselves, or moving someone out of the way of an approaching attack, so on.
Three Fold Law: This attack can only be accomplished by Solstice and Sailorequinox at the same time. Their Wreaths can absorb energy and throw it at someone, usually back at the enemy. They hold the Wreaths before the flow of power/energy, and the energy is sucked into the petals of the flowers. Then they bring the Wreaths together and white light shines between the petals. Both of them say "Let it be correct and for the good of all people. Three Fold Law!" and a bolt of white light shoots at the target. The target receives the energy at three times the original strength.

TRANSFORMATION: Laurie's trans phrase is "Solstice Wheel of the Year Power, Make-up!" She transforms with Equinox. The girls put their hands together in front of them, palms flat against each other. When they bring their hands apart, circles of energy form between them, one for Laurie, and one for Phoebe. The circles shine and tranform into two wreaths of flowers--one of daisies, and one of crocus flowers. Laurie takes the wreath of crocus, and Phoebe palms the daisy wreath. They each carefully place their wreaths on their heads; the energy courses down their bodies to transform their clothing into the uniforms of Sailorequinox and Sailorsolstice. Equinox holds her Daisy Wreath before her, peering challengingly through the hole, as does Solstice with her Crocus Wreath.

DESCRIPTION: Her long hair is medium gray as are her eyes. Her bangs reach her chin and part in the middle. The fuku of the Sailor Witches is basically the same as the standard fuku, with a few differences--for one, there is no back bow. The bodysuit is a solid color; Solstice's is medium blue, as are her gloves and choker. Her skirt, front bow, gauntlettes, and collar are yellow. The stripe on her collar is medium blue. She wears blue lace-up shoes and yellow socks. The jewel in her silver tiara, the jewel in her choker, and the middle of her bow are all replaced with a silver pentacle. The rest should be fairly self-explanatory from the picture above.

PLACE IN THE SILVER MILLENIUM: Sailorsolstice was part of a team of Witch Senshi who all came from the asteroid Icarus, in our solar system. Witchcraft was a very important religion on Icarus, which is why seven people from there were given the powers of the Wiccan holidays. Essentially, they are the protectors of the year, and the protectors of their princess, Princess Icarus (Sailoricarus), and their prince, Prince Icarus (Soldierlammas).

OCCUPATION: Lives and works at the Valhalla Commune, helping to maintain a lovely park of flowers and fountains on Witch Hill.

AGE: 18

GUARDIAN: The Witches are guardianed by a fat raccoon named Rooreru, who thinks he is a cat.

SPIRITUAL STUFF: The Summer Solstice is June 20-23, and the Winter Solstice is December 20-23. These holidays mark the beginning of summer and winter, respectively. All information on Witchcraft comes from Laurie Cabot's book The Power of the Witch.
