Canon: Anime
Rating: 2
Name: Danko Hinode, Ririshi Hoshikozu ("Brave Stardust")
Senshi Title: Sailor Celestial Sun, Sailor Celestial Star
Hair:
Danko: Sparkling pink, held back in a braid
Ririshi: "Her lush black hair was pulled into a single bun on the top of her head, held up by a jewelled band, sapphires decorating its simple looks."
Eyes:
Ririshi: Gorgeous blue
Danko: Brown, but wears pink contact lenses
Unusual Markings/Colorations:
Ririshi: A "slender, yet curvaceous body"; "Her face was extremely exsquisite, soft features..."
Senshi Outfit:
Danko: "Everything went white and Danko now found herself in an identical fuku to that of Celestial Star's. The top was gold and the dark blue cape billowed to her ankles. A crimson pleated skirt and high heels, one red and one gold."
Ririshi: Doll by Me "She had long black hair similar to Ririshi's and wore an odd sailor fuku. A silver bikini-like top with a black cape flowing her mid-thighs. A black pleated skirt and silver go-go boots."
Other Clothing Descriptions:
Ririshi:
Ballet Practice: "She wore a black leotard with a small skirt on the bottom."
Possessions:
Danko: A mouth retainer, a pair of glasses she wears when she's not wearing the contacts, a purse full of money, a credit card, and a cell phone given to her by Ririshi, assorted luggage, and a henshin brooch.
Guardians: None
Origin: Japan. According to Ririshi, she and Danko are 2 of 4 "lost soldiers" who protected "very important sol system places". Danko protects the sun "and therefore, [everything]", Ririsi protects the constellations and "the leftovers" (important leftovers... That's what I consider the leftover crab rangoon when I get Chinese takeout). The other two are Celestial Earth and Celestial Moon. Earth protects Earth while Celestial Moon is the sworn guardian of Sailor Moon and Queen Serenity (Selenity here). The story stops as they leave Japan to go find the other two.
Danko: She lives with her mother.
Ririshi: She comes from a very wealthy family.
Connections to Canon: Danko goes to Usagi's school and Michiru is in their ballet class. Usagi shows up during the same fight that Ririshi discovers that Danko is Celestial Star. Ririshi then gives her a crystal sword that gives her a similar outfit to theirs.
Senshi Moves:
Danko:
Celestial Blaze: Shoots a fireball at the enemy.
Ririshi:
Star Meteor Shower: Not described.
Other Special Abilities: They both take ballet classes.
Danko: She's in the school choir.
Ririshi: She created cell phones that would allow them to communicate and prevent others from listening in on their conversations. (PGSM totally ripped her off...) She can also sense the presence of the other Celestials even from continents away.
Annoying Traits:
Ririshi: "Having been so beautiful, one would have thought she'd be more outgoing. Stereotypical for them to think so, as she was extremely shy to any new people she met." Jou, Danko's friend, instantly becomes jealous and untrusting of her after being introduced to her because of her aura.
Comments: I didn't do one for Danko because neither doll generator offers braided hairstyles. I think I'm going to try making dolls for characters that don't have art from now on. I actually did come back to the journal during the hiatus and plug characters into them at times.
The author seems to have written all of her Otaku Senshi stuff off and might rewrite them.
Samples:
The girl seated at the booth behind Jou looked over her shoulder. Black hair tumbling over her shoulder.
Danko smiled. "Ririshi-san!"
The girl let a smile on her face. "I thought it was you, Danko-san. Michiru told me you usually come here after practice. You're really the only person I know in this city." Ririshi stood up and walked over, sitting next to Danko.
"Jou, this is Ririshi Hoshikozu, she's new and is in my ballet class." Danko introduced, ignoring the glare of death her best friend was giving her.
Jou then smiled. "Hi! I'm Jou Hi, Danko's BEST friend."
Danko smiled halfly.
"Nice to meet you, Jou-san." Ririshi greeted softly. She turned back to Danko. "Anyways, Michiru-san told me to tell you that she hopes you get the solo. Danko-san, do you think I could possibly get a tour around the city from you tomorrow? Jou-san can come along if she wants."
"Of course I'll come along!" Jou stated quickly.
"Allright." Danko sighed. "Yare, you're so protective Jou."
Jou glared at Danko and then looked at Ririshi. She didn't like this girl. 'Possible competition for my best friend, it should seem.'
Ririshi smiled. "It should seem I'm late getting home, so I'll have to continue this chat with you later." She moved from her seat, her expressionless eyes glancing somewhat at Jou and then left.
"Jou! What's your problem?!" Danko exclaimed, banging her fists on the table.
Jou shrank back. "Danko. . . ."
"I want an answer, and it had better be the truth. Ririshi never did anything to you, why were you so rude to her?"
"I wasn't rude. I just didn't like the feeling I got from her. She had some magical aura to her, or something."
"I can't believe you actually believe in that stuff." Danko muttered.
"I don't see what you see in her, because I don't see a thing." Jou protested.
Danko sighed and got from her spot. "I have to get home, my choir concert's tonight."
"You can't run from the truth, Danko." Jou hissed angrily.
"I can try. Jou, I'll see you tomorrow."
Danko grabbed her coat and duffel bag and marched out of the diner.
Jou frowned and allowed her head to slump onto the table. "Fine, Danko. Be that way."
A girl with short brown hair, just past her shoulders, sat in front of Jou. "I'm Akatsuki Genzen. You're Danko's best friend, are you not?"
"Genzen-san, is it alright if call you that?"
The girl nodded.
"Danko and I have been good friends for as long as I can remember. This Ririshi girl seems to be nice, she's just weird."
"Your name means Imperial Sun in the english language, does it not?" Genzen asked softly. [I guess they teach kids what the kanji in their name means in English in their English classes at school. It's totally important, you know. In case any fellow Japanese walk up to you and ask you what it means in English.]
Jou nodded. "Yours means solemn daybreak, correct?"
Genzen smiled. "That it does. I'm a friend of Danko's, she always talks about you. Ririshi is a new girl, I've met her, she's kind and sweet. Exact opposite of what most would think."
"What point are you getting at?"
"If you and Danko have been good friends for as long as you say, then you shouldn't feel threatened by Ririshi. You have something that she doesn't, but that doesn't mean she'll try to 'steal' Danko from you."
Jou glanced up at Genzen. "You're a smart person, no wonder you're friends with Danko."
Genzen smiled. "You're a nice girl, I hope my presumptions are correct."
-----------------------------------------------
"Celestial Sun! It is you!" Celestial Star, not even bothering to remove herself from on top
of the girl, hugged her close.
Danko removed Celestial Star from her and managed to stand. "Are we allies?" She asked
Sailor Moon softly.
Sailor Moon nodded and smiled. "Of course."
Celestial Star linked her arm with Celestial Sun's. Celestial Sun looked down at the
considerably shorter girl. "Ririshi?"
Star nodded. "Hai."
"Brave Stardust, I should've realized sooner you were more than you seemed." Celestial
Sun sighed. "It's good to be back."
Celestial Star rested her head on Sun's shoulder. "I'm glad you're back princess."
Celestial Sun blushed and pulled herself away. Star looked confused. "Why now?"
"A new enemy is in our midst." Star stared at the ground solemnly. There was no trace of
a smile on her face.
Sailor Moon raised her hand. "Uhm excuse me. Sorry to interrupt. However, I have just
one incy, wincy question." She twiddled her pointer fingers together.
"And that is?" Sun asked softly.
"Exactly who are you?" Sailor Moon put a hand to her hip and the other behind her head
giggling softly.
"Lost soldiers." Celestial Star's voice was barely audible.
The youma staggered up and was now approaching Sailor Moon.
"Sailor Moon! Watch out!" Star screamed.
Before Celestial Sun knew what she was doing she yelled out, "Celestial Blaze!" And shot
a ball of fire towards the youma, defeating it.
Sailor Moon was wide eyed and speechless as the youma disappeared before her eyes.
"That was sooo cool! You're really strong!"
Celestial Sun stared at her hands. "I did that?"
"Sailor Moon," Celestial Star began. "We are loyally yours." She curtsied slightly and held
out a sword with a golden hilt. The blade was made from crystal. "This is the sacred lost
treasure of the moon, you will gain more power than all of your previous forms put
together. When the time comes to use this, you'll know what to do."
Sailor Moon carefully took the sword. She was engulfed in a flash of light and now wore a
sailor uniform very similar to the other two. Except hers had bows and she kept the same
shoes. She looked down at the rainbow colored fuku. She blushed, noticing that it showed
her stomach. "Eheh...." She laughed softly. "This is soooo...." She began. However, when
she looked up, both of the new found senshi were gone. "... cool," She finished softly.
-----------------------------------------------
"Jou!" Danko stated. She turned to her friend. "I'm going away for a while."
"Where?!" Jou yelped.
Ms. Hinode entered the room. "Yes, Danko, to where?"
Danko's gaze dropped to the ground. "To Europe... London to be exact."
"Why on Earth would you be going there?!" Jou exclaimed.
"It's for a.... a friend." Danko's pink eyes rose to meet Jou's confused brown eyes and her
mother's blue eyes.
Ms. Hinode shook her head. "What on earth? Danko, enough games!"
"This isn't a game, mother! I have to do this. I leave tomorrow morning, whether you like
it or not," Danko replied gravely. She turned and began to walk up the stairs.
"Is there any way we can keep in touch?" Ms. Hinode sobbed. Her lovely blue eyes filled
with tears as she watched her only daughter, her only companion turn to go up the stairs
and pack. [You know, it would probably help if you asked your daughter why the hell she suddenly has to go to another country.]
"I'll e-mail you," Danko replied.
---------------
The sun poured into the bedroom early the next morning. Or maybe it only seemed too
early because of the previous day's events? No matter what it was, Danko was already up,
before the sun.
Golden rays of sunlight fell onto her as she sat in front of her vanity and brushed through
her long pink hair. She finished brushing it, fixed it into a braid and headed over to her
closet. She chose at least thirty different shirts, twenty pants/shorts/skirts, and seven
dresses. She folded them neatly and placed them into the first suitcase she had. Then she
collected her necessities and stuffed them into the smaller bag. (Toothbrushes, toothpaste,
undergarments, glasses and extra contacts, etc...) Lastly, she took a collection of odds
and ends, such as: CDs, books, magazines, ballet slippers and outfits, jewelry, calendars
and, of course, her henshin brooch and cell phone communicator.
A soft tapping came from the door and Danko stifled her tears. "Come on in," She
whispered.
Ms. Hinode entered, looking very distraught and as if she hadn't had much sleep. Her face
was pale and stained red from tears and her hands were shaking violently.
Danko's gaze fell back to her luggage, not able to bring herself to look at her mother. "I'll
be back as soon as possible, I promise mom."
"I know...." Ms. Hinode choked out. She took a step forward.
"I'm so sorry mom, you know I wouldn't go if I didn't have to..." Danko whispered.
Ms. Hinode took a deep breath and ran over to Danko, throwing her arms around her and
hugging her close. "I'll miss you so much," She sobbed.
Danko couldn't fight the tears any longer. She too began crying horribly. "Me too... I
promise to call, I promise... And I'll write letters and e-mails." She hugged her mother
back.
"Well, finish getting ready and I'll drive you," Ms. Hinode sniffled.
Danko nodded and watched as her mother left the room. She couldn't take it. Her mother
was stressed and miserable about her leaving. Why did Ririshi have to do this? Why? She
picked up her luggage and carried it downstairs. Ms. Hinode opened the door for her and
she found that the trunk was already open. After piling her luggage in the car, they got in
and drove off.
It was more like 45 minutes later that they reached the airport. The time in the car had
been spent listening to music, no talking involved at all. They were standing at the gate,
Danko only holding her small bag of make up and entertainment, waiting to get on. She
took a deep breath when they called out her flight number.
"Tell Jou that I'm sorry. I'll keep in touch. Bye," Danko whispered. She embraced her
mother for a good two minutes, neither wanting to let go, then finally boarded the plane.
