Sailor Apollo is unlike the normal senshi. She does not have any
specific powers, but instead has an enchanged bow and arrow. It
can only be fired by her and cannot leave her side. To transform,
she fires and arrow into the air and shouts "Make-Up!".
The arrow then releases a light that changes Kyn into Apollo. Her
arrows will do whatever she wishes them to do.
Kyn is the priestess of the Pythian Temple on the planet Pythia. She is half human, half Pythian, but looks entirely human because of her senshi heritage. Her mother was also Sailor Apollo and from the planet Kinmokusei, where Princess Kakyuu (Fireball) and the Starlights are from. Her father was Pythian and raised Kyn on his own after her mother died. Later in her life, Kyn was sent to Kinmokusei to learn of her senshi heritage and to train to fill her mother's role. That was when she received her bow and arrows from the Starlights and Princess Kakyuu. She returned to Pythia after her training to learn that her father had died in her absense. The Pythian monks, seeing her as a senshi, elevated her to the role of Priestess of their Temple.
Kyn is somewhat arrogant since she was raised to be adored. The Pythians see her in almost a goddess-type light, and it is reflected in Kyn's attitude toward non-Pythians. She is a take charge type of person, always believing her way is the only way and can be difficult to deal with. She is extremely mistrusting of outsides, partially because it is her duty to protect and keep hidden Sailor Galaxia, who was changed by the Silver Crystal and went into exile.
Kyn never had any friends while growing up, except perhaps the Starlights, but they were never close. As a result, it is difficult for her to get close to anyone. When she met the inner senshi, she found others like her and opened up enough to help them guard the Sword of Galaxia from Abyss.
