Japanese name: Himinori Chochin
Japanese name means: The Sun Harvest's Paper Lantern
English dub name: Kate Apollo
Age: Appears 20, but she has actually been alive for thousands of years
because she did not die in the original battle with Metallia
Blood type: B
Birthday: August 7
Star sign: Leo
Height: 5' 10"
Favorite gem: Ruby
Favorite colors: Black and red
Favorite school subject: Not in school
Least favorite school subject: Not in school
Favorite sport: Staff fighting
Favorite foods: Italian pizza, sushi
Least favorite foods: Messy foods
Likes: Staff fighting, books, writing about the time of the Silver Millenium,
spending time with her brother and his girlfriend, daydreaming about her past
when she was happier, fulfilling her senshi duties (she's one of those senshi
that totally gets into it and doesn't regret not having a normal life for one
day), going out with friends to the karoake bar and getting plastered, sex
Dislikes: How she was treated by Prince Endymion in the distant past, how he
treats her now as Mamoru Chiba, senshi who cannot handle their duties, other
senshi who treat her like she has no right to resent Endymion's treatment of
her
Strengths: Dedication to duty, confidence
Weaknesses: Although she hates Endymion for what he did, she can't stop
loving him either. She tends to be quite obsessive and defensive about it.
She really believes someday that he will own up to his true feelings and come
back to her. Her senshi powers are not as strong at night, sort of like they
are "solar powered."
Afraid of: Winding up completely alone.
Dream: To have her perfect little family with Prince Endymion, and for them
to rule the Earth together instead of him and Neo Queen Serenity
Sun 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.
