Rei is the traditional Japanese beauty — delicate features, pale skin, and long, shining dark hair. In her first appearance, Luna even suspects that she could be the Moon Princess because of her beauty.[5] Unlike the other girls, she attends a Catholic school (despite personally being Shinto) called T*A Private Girls School. She is widely admired for her elegance and charm, earning the adulation of classmate and stranger alike.

Her strange psychic talents have caused some to be afraid of her, and her family situation makes her unreceptive to close friendship. Her mother died years ago; her father is a very high-class and famous politician who doesn't care to be involved in her life, and only visits Rei on her birthday. She therefore lives at the Hikawa shrine, under the care of her maternal grandfather, a Shinto priest. In the anime, "grandpa" appears frequently as a short, good-humored, unrepentant lech; in the manga he scarcely appears at all and when he does, he's the physical opposite of his anime counterpart; tall, skinny, a full head of hair and even a mustache. In the live-action drama, he is never mentioned.
Because of the lack of respectable males in her life, Rei harbors a generally low opinion of all men. She considers them emotionally weak and untrustworthy. As the story progresses she softens somewhat, and is even attracted to various men. In the anime it is often hinted that she has a working relationship with Yuuichirou (Chad in the Dub), Grandpa's pupil. Also, early in the series she has a small relationship with Mamoru Chiba, but soon realizes he's not for her and soon she sees that he and Usagi are destined for each other, therefore she gives up on him amiably. However, in the manga she is never given a serious romantic interest. Outside of the anime she rarely displays any particular desire for a boyfriend, yet it is hinted at during her battle with Tiger Eye.
Among her friends, which consist entirely of the other Senshi, Rei sometimes adopts an aloof, big-sisterly attitude. This façade is frequently broken by her great enthusiasm, her genuine affection for all of them, and her sharp tongue. Of all the girls, Rei is probably the most sarcastic.
Rei cares for two of the crows living at the shrine, which she has named Phobos and Deimos (after the two moons of Mars). They have the ability to sense evil, and sometimes even attack enemies. The two are most important in the manga series, where they reveal themselves in Act 36 as Power Guardians—small, humanoid sprites. They save Sailor Mars from being killed by Tiger's Eye and give her her Sailor Crystal. They are later revealed to be from the planet Coronis.[6]
Rei was given a special episode in the manga, entitled Casablanca Memories partly because it is revealed in the story that her favorite flower is the white "Casablanca" lily. It tells of the friendship Rei had with her father's secretary, a handsome and pleasant young man named Kaidou. Rei at one point even fancied herself in love with him, and was shocked when he suddenly became engaged to another girl, also a politician's daughter. Kaidou told Rei that it was an arranged marriage and mostly a status thing, but Rei could see that Kaidou truly liked his fiancée; even told him that if Kaidou really wanted a raise in his social status, he would've chosen to marry Rei herself. Rei also shared a second manga story with Aino Minako, entitled Rei and Minako's Girls School Battle.

Meditation is given as her strong point; she enjoys fortune-telling as a hobby, and dreams of one day being the head miko of a shrine. The elegance of her character is further underscored by the contrast between her favorite subject, ancient writing, and her least favorite, modern society.[1] She also belongs to the Archery club at school.[7] In the anime, her character is slightly different; she still enjoys her shrine duties, but she also loves pop culture and dreams of becoming a singer, a model, a voice actress, and a bride. As for more general tastes, it is mentioned in the manga that Rei enjoys fugu, a type of blowfish which is both highly toxic and considered a delicacy in Japan. Her least favorite food is listed as canned asparagus. Other favorite things include pandas[8] and the colors red and black; dislikes include both television and men in general. Rei stands about 160 centimeters tall (5'3" ,[9] [10] and her blood type is AB.[1]
In an early DiC promotional tape that advertised Sailor Moon to television stations, Rei was called Dana.[11]
