SENSHI IDENTITY: Sailorsun, the Senshi of the Sun and the Harvest
REAL NAME: Himinori Chochin (Means "The Sun Harvest's Paper Lantern")
NICKNAME: 'Nori (I'm not always going to type that with the apostrophe; I'm lazy sometimes. ~_^)
AMERICAN DUB NAME ^_^ : Kate Apollo
BIRTHDATE AND SIGN: August 7, Leo
BLOOD TYPE: B
SENSHI COLORS: Red, orange, black, and yellow (mostly red and yellow)
TEAM: Sailorsun is one of the Last Senshi. She is the only member of the team with a solid color skirt, to signify that she is their leader.

WEAPONS AND ATTACKS: She is the keeper of the Sun Scythe. 'Nori carries a wooden staff which becomes this Scythe when she transforms.
  • Prominence Whip Snap: Sailorsun holds her scythe perpendicular to her body and says, "Prominence Whip." The scythe turns into a whip of flame in her hands. Then she says, "Snap!" and cracks the whip on the enemy's body. As could be expected, this burns them and probably hurts pretty bad. ^_^
  • Eclipse Scythe: She holds up her scythe, then slashes it downward through the air, speaking, "Eclipse Scythe." The area within a 20 foot radius becomes black as night, as if the sun is in eclipse. The edges of the black shadow are rimmed in blue light. Only other senshi whom Sailorsun chooses can see through the darkness. This black shadow lasts for seconds to several minutes, depending on how concentrated Sun is on the power.
  • Corona Kiss: Sailorsun extends her arms to the sides and says, "Corona." A black shadow eclipses her body, with a blue light corona. After building up the energy for several seconds, she says, "Kiss!" and the blue light explodes out from her body, blasting the enemy away.
  • Solar Wind Teleport: A power Sailorsun can use to teleport herself and anyone she is holding hands with (and they are holding hands with, and so on) to another location. When she says these words, a blue vapor whisps out of the Sun Locket and engulfs the people who are teleporting. It moves in a whirlwind. The people disappear, then reappear at the new location in another whirlwind of blue vapor. The only drawback is that the Solar Wind blows mightily around each location before and after the teleport, which can cause a big ol' mess. ~_^ The teleport could also be used if someone simply had possession of the Sun Locket.
  • Sun Harvest: This attack cannot be achieved while 'Nori is Sailorsun, only when she is the Princess of the Sun (another form of 'Nori). When she wraps her arms about herself and says, "Sun Harvest" at the point of sunset, she is covered with a blue light. She extends her arms out to the side and her entire body is bathed in a black shadow, as if she herself is in eclipse. Blue light surrounds the edges of her body. If 'Nori is allowed to continue this attack and build up energy from the setting sun, the Harvest will begin. The Harvest takes place when 'Nori builds up enough energy to dry up the entire Earth. She is very vulnerable while performing this attack. In fact, at the end of it, 'Nori's own body will burn up like paper. However, stopping her from building up this energy can be complicated if 'Nori decides to use the Solar Wind during the attack. To use the Solar Wind, 'Nori simply extends her hand at an approaching person, "blocking" them from coming any further. A blue-black tendril of wind leaps at them and blows them away with great force. This force can level buildings.
  • Rainbow Aura Extraction: Sailorsun can only perform this attack with another senshi, but I'm not saying who because it's a great big spoiler. In fact, I can't really describe what the attack looks like because that would give it away. I can say though that what the attack does is create a rainbow that passes over the intended targets (this is a large scale attack meant to be used on more than one person). The rainbow locks on their body (so they look rainbow-colored all over) and begins to extract their aura. The attack can be fought from within the target, but if it is successful in partially or fully extracting a person's aura, they will either go insane or die. The process of aura extraction is agonizing for the victim, and the more they fight it, the longer the pain continues. But certainly this struggle could be worth it if it means holding onto your aura, hehheh.
DESCRIPTION: Sailorsun has short yellow blonde hair with red highlights. Her senshi uniform has a yellow skirt, with red front and back bows. The collar is yellow. There are other red accents on her uniform, including her gauntlets and the jewel in her tiara. Her choker is black with her symbol on it. Sun's symbol is also on her Sun Locket, which she keeps pinned to the front of her uniform and outfits. She uses the Locket to transform into Sailorsun. The Locket also has sun-like rays all around the edges for decoration. Sun wears sling-back red heels. Her eyes are red, she has a big smile, and her expression is usually a little devious. She's pretty tall, about 5' 10".
The Sun Scythe is a harvesting tool with a long white steel blade, Sun's symbol engraved into it.

TRANSFORMATION: 'Nori holds up her sun-shaped locket (The Sun Locket), which she keeps pinned on the front of her clothes, and shouts, "Sun Star Power, Make-Up!" Beams of sunlight spring out of the locket, covering her and dissolving her clothing. A whip of flame, a sun prominence, snaps over her body, leaving behind her yellow senshi skirt. Another prominence snaps over her, leaving behind her gloves and her top with her front bow. Sailorsun stretches out her arms and a blue corona of energy surrounds her, changing her shoes into high-heel slingbacks, and creating a black choker and red back bow on her body. The corona moves over Sun's staff in her hand to change it into a tall, menacing scythe with a white metal blade. She slams the end of the scythe on the ground which makes a loud rattling sound as the blade shakes in the handle, then she crosses one leg over the other to stand proud as Sailorsun.

PLACE IN THE SILVER MILLENIUM: This could be considered a story spoiler, so if you'd like to know about her past, scroll down to the bottom.

OCCUPATION: When not a senshi, 'Nori is the director of the Library of Mirai Mugen University (Head Librarian).

AGE: Looks 20

EXTRA: 'Nori's brother is Ban Chochin, who is also Soldierhyperion. Her best friend is Kitaeru Tama , who is also Sailorvulcan.

PLACE IN THE SILVER MILLENIUM: 'Nori has never lived on the sun (although for Sailor Moon, it certainly could be made possible!); instead, she is from Earth. But she can harness the power of the sun, so that is why she is Sailorsun. During the highlight of the Moon Kingdom, 'Nori was sent there to become the Royal Record Keeper. She knew Prince Endymion back on Earth, and spent time with him in the Moon Kingdom while he was visiting Princess Serenity. The Princess had no idea that the reason 'Nori was spending so much time with her and Endymion was because she was in love with him. 'Nori believed that she and Endymion belonged together--to her, the Sun and the Earth are a perfect match. Endymion did have a brief relationship with her while he was dating Princess Serenity, but his love for Serenity could not be denied and he told 'Nori he did not want to see her anymore. 'Nori could not accept just being friends. She constantly caused trouble for Serenity and Endymion until her parents decided her obsession with the Prince was unhealthy and she should come home to Earth.
This is the point when the Moon Kingdom and the solar system were attacked (In my story, I'm adding in an attack on the solar system; I know that in the original version, only the Moon Kingdom was attacked. At least that's my interpretation). Sailorsun believed she could win back the Prince's love if she saved the Kingdom and Serenity, so she tried to use the Sacred Cup. The only persons who can hold the Sacred Cup are members of the White Moon family, those whom the Cup chooses, and its creator, Sailorvulcan , because its power is so great. All others who try to use it will be driven mad by the power overload (unless they are already mad, such as Mistress 9). When Sailorsun burst into the secret location of the Jewels of Battle, Sailorvulcan tried to stop her, but Sun would not listen. She grabbed the Sacred Cup and was driven insane by the power overload that coarsed through her body.
Once the Moon Kingdom was destroyed, 'Nori wandered the universe for thousands of years (the senshi are immortal ya know), engulfed by her insanity. She has finally returned to Earth to defend it against new evils. It is because she disappeared for so many years that she is considered one of the lost, Last Senshi. (Note: The time period that passed between the fall of the Silver Millenium and the time that the senshi were reborn was not detailed in the original Japanese version. The dub version said it was 1,000 years, but I've never bought that that made much sense, and besides, my fanfic is based on the original version. It makes more sense to me that the Silver Millenium existed sometime before Earth's recorded history, because the people of Earth would have some record of its existence in the series otherwise, wouldn't they? Wouldn't the characters be learning in school about the kingdom on the moon from 1,000 years ago otherwise? So that is why 'Nori wandered the universe for "thousands of years" instead of just 1,000 years.)

EXTRA: 'Nori has her own house which she shares with her brother. He was reborn with the other senshi, unlike his sister, so his memories of the ancient past are not as clear as hers. She watched him for many years, knowing he was her reincarnated brother, but did not dare approach him until he was old enough to understand. It was then that he reawakened as Soldierhyperion. Ban's parents in his reborn form do not recognize 'Nori as their child; she's just some weird girl their son insists on living with.
