Likes:
Health Food- Cakes, cookies, and ice cream, Tai wont touch them. Although she doesn't mind making them, she will not eat them. The food pyramid is her best friend. She is always carrying around a little bag of carrots to munch on if she is hungry and don't worry she has enough to share. Tai believes that eating right is what gives her the extra energy to do all the things she does everyday. If she was always munching on cookies and cup-cakes she would move at a much slower pace, which might be a good thing.

Juice- Any and all kind of juice. Its more then just a like, its an obsession. Tai received a juicer for one birthday and since then, she has made over a thousand different kinds of juices mixing fruit and vegetables. Also, she knows what to make someone drink depending on how they feel. Like say for example someone needs an energy boost, Tai will whip them up a juice that will recharge their batteries in a moment flat.

Activity- Sitting around twiddling your thumbs all day? Tai isn't, she is on a mission to do as much in one day as possible. She feels like every waking moment something MUST be occupying her time. Down time is not a phrase in her book. Whither it be running or just anything that involves movement, Tai will be doing it. Moving helps her concentrate, even when she is studying she is moving in some way, even if it's only her hands playing with a paddle ball.

Hula Hoops- Her favorite childhood toy. Hula Hoops are the best things since sliced bread. Plus, it works out your waist muscles and are just super fun in general. Tai is self-proclaimed hula hoop master. She can hula hoop for hours without getting tired or letting the hoop fall to the ground. Also, she can do more then one at a time. The girl's like a circus act when she picks one (or more) of these up.

Emergency rooms- The over activeness of the emergency room makes Tai overly excited. Ever since she was rushed to the hospital because of her appendix, she has adored the excitement all it all. There is something about the sheer intensity of it all that makes her happy. Which is weird seeing as the waiting room is usually ungodly boring.

Sports- Any kind of sport, Tai will play and try her hardest to kick your butt. But seriously she just loves playing sports it general. Sports are just so much fun, how could you not love them. There is nothing more exhilarating then running up and down a field chasing a ball. Particularly, she is fond of soccer, swimming, and softball.

Card Games- Go-fish, Black Jack, Poker, You name it, she plays it. Tai actually loves the game “find the queen”, the one scam artists play on street corners. Not only has she perfected actually finding the queen, she also likes to play it with her friends. Of course she never charges them money, but she could if she wanted to.

Abstract Art- Abstract art is crazy, you never really know what it means. Tai think just about anyone can paint a plain old flower and make it look pretty, but with abstract its just all over the place. She has a strange adoration for things that are not exactly what they seem. Also she gets a kick out of those Magic Eye books, were you have to cross your eyes to see the hidden pictures.

Other Likes: Mornings, School functions, Paddle Ball, Rubber Band Balls



Dislikes:
Girly things- Pink, frilly, puffy, anything cute, make Tai sick. Although she isn't a tomboy, she just can not bring herself to wear them. It was just something she could never bring herself to enjoy. Also, she hates those stupid ski caps made to look like a bear or cat's face with those dumb little ears. Tai wouldn't be caught dead in them, she wants to punch the girls who are wearing them.

Laziness- Being lazy makes you fat, plain and simple. She can not fathom why people would want to sit on their butts all day doing absolutely nothing. What does being lazy get you? A pot belly and Cheeto lips. If she could, she would gather every overweight person in the world and make them exercise. Of course she can do that, but she really wishes she could. Being healthy is so much more attractive then having more rolls then a bakery.

Winter- Cold, Snow, bulky heavy clothing. Tai hates the winter with a burning passion. Seriously, she wishes she could go somewhere warm for the winter months. In winter there isn't anything you could do outside. In summer she can walk outside and just walk to where she is going. But once winter rolls around she needs to bulk up on heavy clothing and freeze her butt off at the bus stop. Its just a complete hassle to her, everything is just so complicated. Plus when its cold, Tai is just downright miserable.

Fad Diets- Do people really believe that eating cabbage soup everyday for every meal really makes you lose weight? People who invent fad diets should be taken outside and shot. Tai hates watching all the stupid girls in her school sit around and act like because they aren't eating carbs for three weeks that means they are going to get super thin and stay that way. Why don't they try eating right and exercising, just seeing the stupidity of those people make her angry.

School- Gah, school is so boring to Tai. Sit and listen to what the teacher says. You can't do anything, you just need to sit there. Plus all they teach is just stuff you need for the test. They never delve deeper into anything. Tai enjoys hands on learning better, rather then fancy book learning. In school she'll also tap her pencil on the desk repetitively and stare at the clock wishing it would move.

Sumo Wrestlers- Huge men in little thongs smacking together trying to knock the other out of a circle? Tai will pass. She is actually is physically sickened when she has to watch this. Which is actually terrible because her uncle is a sumo wrestler and her parents make her go see him wrestle.

Being Short- Lets face it, at 4'9 Tai is a little on the short side. She has trouble reaching things on the top shelves or seeing over people while in a crowd. It truly irks her when people call her short or when she needs to rely on taller people to do something for her. Well, at least she has a big personality to make up for her short stature.

Other Dislikes- Mindless Television, People who spend all their money/time at the arcade, smokers, creepy people.



Hobbies:
Cooking- Tai loves to cook. Whither it be just making lunch for herself or making dinner for her family. She adores chopping up vegetables and adding spices to meat, it all makes her so happy. Also, while she doesn't enjoy eating sweets she doesn't mind baking them. Her mother and her used to make dinner together, now most of the time she just makes it for her family.

Dancing- While Tai has never taken tap, jazz or ballet, that doesn't stop her from shaking her groove thang the moment a song she likes is on. She loves to dance, anywhere at anytime. Often she'll put on her head phones and just dance around her room. Of course she is actually a terrible dancer, but she doesn't care, even if she is in public.

Swimming- Her most beloved of sports. There is nothing more invigorating then diving in a cold pool in the morning. She is on her school's swim team, so she has practice almost everyday. Tai believes in her past life she was a fish, seeing as she just adores swimming around for hours.

Running- Tai runs two times a day. When she wakes up in the morning and at night. She usually runs for an hour around her house going in a big circle. Usually she has her head phones on and she is dancing around also. If its winter she runs on her parent's treadmill, but she prefers running outside.

Yoga- Her before bed ritual. She does yoga right before she heads to bed. It helps her calm down, and get into sleep mode. If she didn't do yoga before she went to bed, she would probably spend half the night trying to shut her body down.

Cup Stacking- The art of stacking cups really fast and then unstacking them fast. Tai just started doing this, so she isn't very good at it. But she finds it enjoyable, trying really hard to beat her records. It also teaching her to move her hands very quickly which is always a good skill to have.



Goals:
Mainly she wants to get rid of the new enemies. Being a teenager is hard enough without having to worry about saving the world. After that is all said and done Tai wants to continue with school and go on to be a Athletic trainer. Of course, like any good girl she wants to get married and have kids. She also hopes that one of her children loves swimming as much as she does so she can be a swim coach.


Inside



Good Points:
Determined- Tai will get the job done. Once she starts a project she'll put her all into it. She has a burning passion for all of her activities making sure she has time for all of them. Its like she can't give up doing whatever she starts. She'll stick it out to the bitter end.

Energetic- Well borderline hyperactive. Battery powered to the max, it seems like she never slows down. She enjoys moving to much for her own good. Also, she tries her hardest to make others feel as energetic as she is, hoping it will get them off their butts and make sure they wont lag behind.

Exciting- You will never have a boring day with Tai. Her idea of a fun day is play a lot of sports, a hula hoop contest, and a race to the next place they are going. Of course while she isn't a boring person to spend the day with, her antics might get to annoying to stay with.

Well-meaning- Truthfully, the girl does mean well. She loves all of her friends to death and she just wants what's best for them in all aspects. Also being somewhat of a health Nazi, she would most likely steal the candy off someone and say “No more candy, lets have celery, its good for your health!” with a large smile on her face.



Flaws:
Ticking Time Bomb- Cut the green or the red one? Tai is so used to being stressed out, that nothing even stuns her anyone. While everyone is freaking out about finals, Tai puts on the facade that she is totally cool with it. That is until the day of finals and Tai just goes off, in a huge boom.

Resentful- You mess with the bull you get the horns. Once you've crossed the line, there is no going back. Plus she will make damn sure that you know you wronged her. She becomes cold and blunt to the point of being a downright bitch. Fool her once shame on her, you'll never fool her again, she'll make sure of it.

Embarrassing- Tai has no concept of what being embarrassed is. She has a lot of bad habits that come out in public, such as dancing in the middle of the side walk or burping extremely loudly without saying excuse me. To her none of those social formalities are important, even though you should mind your manners. She just doesn't nor does she care.

Pushy- The girl is a bit to assertive for her own good. She is extremely forward about everything, much to the annoyance of the person she is talking to. Tai has no clue how to hold anything back, she is more of the 'in your face' type of person.

Controlling- Tai likes to be in control of whatever situation she is in. Even if it just is what pizza topping her friends are getting, though she wont be eating it. She always seems to have a "suggestion" for everyone and wants them to do it, at that exact moment.



Personality:

Overview-
Overly energetic, Tai is the battery powered girl. Never slowing down or giving up, Tai is a force to be reckoned with. Truthfully, she's an arrogant, annoying, hyperactive, pushy, stressed out girl. Her idea of 'fitness' stems from herself. “Do what I do and you will not be fat.” With a distorted look on what is healthy and what is not, she tends to come off as a bit of a bitch. Of course, she really doesn't see it that way. To her, she is just doing what is best for them. Also, she tends to have a huge grin on her face while she is saying something one might consider mean.

She is a ticking time bomb when angry, each second that passes, she gets closer to detonation. Once she goes off, its like world war three. If she could, her body would turn red and steam would come out of her ears. Exploding in fits of yelling and stomping, being close to her is not something you want to do. There's almost no way to calm her down either, she just needs to get it out.

Of course Tai isn't all bad, being like a magnet, repealing but also attracting. Usually Tai is a generally fun person to be around. She's active and lively, priding herself on being exciting. A go-getter, if she wants to do something, she will. With all of her hyperactive tendencies, she is actually extremely focused. Rather then jumping from one thing to the next, she sets her mind to something and sees it through. Although it might not seem like it, the girl does mean well. What she is trying to do is look out for her friends. She is a complete health Nazi. Worrying endlessly about the “junk” her friends are putting into their bodies. If she were to catch one of her friends smoking a cigarette, she would probably yank it out of their mouth and shove a carrot into it.

Self-image-
How Tai really is and how she sees herself are two completely different things. Tai sees herself as a sweet caring friend who just want to see the people in her life succeed. Truthfully she is a worry wart, although she'd never admit it. She cares about her friends health a tad to much for her own good. Which is why she can come off as an ass. Its mainly because she knows not everyone takes as good of themselves as she does. This is why she strives so hard to make sure everyone is eating correctly.

Unfortunately she knows she doesn't have any manners what so ever. Really she doesn't even care. The whole social conventions don't matter to her at all. She'll dance and laugh obnoxiously and be herself. That's the one thing she will not compromise. Though she knows it turns a lot of people off to her, at least she isn't boring.

Motives-
Tai lives for herself. No one else. She wont compromise herself for anyone. It just how she grew up. Tai lives with the ideal that she is always right. Everyday she sets out to prove that. If she can't prove it, she makes it so she can. Unlike most girls her age, who are obsessing over boys and pop stars, Tai is out trying to accomplish all that she can. Felling the need to cram everything she can into one day, she is ridiculously stressed out. But doing yoga centers her, so she thinks its no hazard to her health. Truthfully, she'll probably have a heart-attack by the age of 25.

Living with a vigorous determination that no one can faultier. The spunky little girl will do what needs to be done. She is extremely focused, and will make -damn- sure everyone else is too. Unfortunately her tactics are not always the best. Tai tends to "kick butt first, ask questions later." It might take one or two people to stop her from rushing into battle blindly.

General Behavior-
Upon meeting Tai she will *try* to be polite, but she wont always be. She is loud and obnoxious when she is meeting someone. Being one of those in your face kind of people, Tai will endlessly talk to someone new. Once she warms up to them a bit she'll probably make a suggestion of instead of having another slice of pizza, having an apple.

In public her true colors really show. She'll dance and be a complete ass in public without a care in the world. People will often stare and give her dirty looks. Tai will notice, but wont care. It's very embarrassing for the people who are with her. Of course, Tai wont stop, she'll only do it more. Think her of that drunk person on karaoke night, the one that sucks really bad, but is still funny to watch.

Intimate Behavior-
Around her parent's Tai is the same way that she always is. Loud, obnoxious, and arrogant. If her mother were to ask about her school day, she'd bitch and moan about how boring it was. Not holding back about all the “fat slobs” in her class. While Tai respects her parent's, she has a funny way of showing it. If her parents tell her to do something, she'll do it as quickly as possible, just to get it done. She hates having to do things for her parent's because it takes time out of what she wants to do.

When around her friends Tai is at her peak. She is the most comfortable around them. Her friends being the ones she is most open with, adoring all of them so much. Doing her best to keep all of them happy, without comprising who she is for that. Understanding her friends don't enjoy some of the things she does, she tries to understand the things they do also. She is almost always trying to get everyone to eat better. It seems like her purse is a refrigerator, she is always pulling out something healthy for her friends to eat.

Of course, crossing her in any way makes your friendship null and void. Tai will do everything in her power to ruin your life. Whether it be spreading rumors or just giving you the silent treatment. But you'll never be forgiven and it will continue until she does it to someone else. Even then, it doesn't mean that she'll give a rat's ass about you. It just means that you aren't the target anymore.

Tai loves alone time, as long as something is occupying her time that is. She'll go insane if she is bored, pacing around like a mad woman. Often she'll go for a run or dance around until she finds something better to do. If she is really bored, Tai will tear apart her room looking for something to do. If she needs to study for a test, Tai will study and play with a paddle ball. Movement helps the girl concentrate when she is doing something she considers “boring”. Which is mainly anything involving school work.


Outside



Appearance:

Face:
Round with chubby, cheery cheeks and a rounded out chin. Lime green, large round, eyes framed with thin brown lashes. She has thin well maintained brows that match the color of her hair. Tai has a snort wide nose. Thin small mouth. Although her teeth are white, she has a bit of an under bite. Her skin in beige in color, across her cheeks and nose, she has some freckles. They become more noticeable the more time she spends out in the sun.

Hair:
Long deep purple locks coming down to her mid back. Although she tries her hardest to keep her hair healthy, but due to the pool water it's stiff and unmanageable. She wears it up all the time in two pig tails on the back of her head. They spike out every which way and fall right above her shoulders. She wears her bangs long, they fall over her right eye. Pushing them behind her ears really don't do much. If she is doing something important she'll often pin them back, like in senshi form. But most of the time, she lets them go.

Build:
At 4'9, built like a piece of plywood; absolutely no curves or fat on her bones. Tai is almost completely flat chested, her limbs are long, for her size anyway. She would be confused for a boy if it weren't for her hair. Tai has three very noticeable scars, on her upper left arm, lower abdomen, and one on her upper right thigh.

Voice:
A loud mezzo-soprano. Tai has a set of lungs on her, speaking extremely loudly and some what fast. When angry, her voice tends to shake, and she just screams. She has a beautiful singing voice she just wont sing in front of people, only singing in the shower. But her laugh is similar to a hyena, which is extremely annoying.

Clothing:
Tai has a very simplistic style. She is fond of sweat pants, rolling up the bottoms. She almost always has a tee-shirt on. Leaning towards tee-shirts for little boys, because they suit her the best. Also she likes the fact that they have funny things like dinosaurs and trains on them. When it comes to footwear there are only two options; sandals or sneakers. Tai can't walk in anything with a heel at all, she will get wobble around because if she moves too fast she will fall. On very rare occasions Tai will dress up. But again, its very rare. If she is dresses up she will wear simple dark colored dresses, nothing too revealing, with a shall.


Life



History:
In the early morning of November 17, Ikiruousei Noriko was rushed to the hospital. After a few hours of labor, a healthy baby girl was born. Unfortunately, they were expecting a baby boy, so they named her Tai after Noriko's mother. Noriko, a well known nutritionist, made sure that she has all the right nutrients as a baby. Every since birth Tai had the idea of being healthy drilled into her head. When young her parent's would not let her eat junk food. She didn't have a cookie until she was 4 and she didn't like it anyway.

Her father, a fitness instructor, had a lot of gym equipment around the house. Tai grew up watching her father work out, when she was old enough her father let her work out with him. When she was about 5 her parents took her to see her uncle sumo wrestle. Tai was horrified by the overweight men, believing they might accidentally sit on her. She cried endlessly about it. Unfortunately her parents, still make her go.

At a young age, her parents enrolled her in many sports such as soccer, swimming, and volleyball. Tai took to soccer and swimming quickly. Unfortunately, volleyball was another story, she just didn't enjoy it. Even being so young she excelled at swimming, often pretending she was a mermaid swimming though the waters. Its one thing she kept doing until this day.

When she was 8, her mother showed her the joys of cooking. Tai loved helping her mother make dinner for the family. She just wouldn't get out of the kitchen. Growing to love to learn how to make an assortment of different kinds of healthy food from around the world.

One day in school, Tai felt a strange pain her side. Crying to her teacher about how much it hurt, she was taken to the nurses office. The nurse realized that it must be her appendix. Tai was rushed to the emergency room. Staring up at all the people surrounding her she was amused with all the excitement going on around her. It was then she realized she actually liked going to the emergency room, unless she had to wait.

The older Tai became, the more activities she took up. She couldn't stand the idea of being bored. Doing everything in her power to stay healthy and active, Tai joined her school's swim team, took up doing yoga as a stress reliever, and took to juicing.

Tai realized early on in her high school career that the girls were all obsessed with body image. Unlike them though, she was raised to be healthy. Day after day, she watched the girls eat disgusting things. It almost made her sick, she just couldn't comprehend why they wouldn't just exercise.

Never being one for books, Tai grew a strong distaste for school. Often getting in trouble for drumming on her desk during lessons or staring at the clock endlessly. Although she hated being in school, she wasn't flunking, which was very surprising to her teachers. Tai would cram before her tests and still do very well. She knew this wasn't a good way to go about school but she really didn't care, seeing as studying for hours made only made her bored.

The one thing her parent's made sure she understood is that no matter what she should be herself. So as school carried on, she just went along her merry way doing what she had been doing. Of course she had some problems like all teenage girls, but mainly she was the one causing them. All girls have there own little squabbles but Tai realized she was in some what of a position of power. To anyone who crossed her, it meant the end of their friendship.

The more she realized that she people looked up to her, the more her ego grew. She started to try to control the people around her like they were dolls. But the one day she was knocked down a few pegs. While in school, she overheard some girls talking about her behind her back. It was the first time she had ever heard something bad about herself. Extremely upset, she ran to the nurses office and said that she didn't feel well.

Tai put on a smiley front and tried her damnedest to be nice to everyone. But still her controlling side still comes out, it is just less intense.



Current Situation:
Tai is living with her parents, although it took some convincing to let her keep Techne. She still goes about her every day life, actively being active. Of course once she needs to be a senshi, she is all about it. While Techne tries to get some training in, he still has a hard time trying to keep up with her. They go 'running' every night which is usually when she trains.


Dog



Guardian

Name: Techne The Dog

Appearance: Techne is a long haired Chihuahua. He is mostly black, but with a light brown under belly and legs. Since he is an adult, he is a foot in height and about 7 pounds. Techne may be tiny but that doesn't mean he isn't strong, he always has his head held high and walks like he is in a dog show. He demands attention, I mean he is just so cute.

Personality: Techne believes he is top dog. Well, he is guardian to Sailor Rho, so what if she isn't leader or second in command, she is still important. He tries to be a huge hard ass, but once you rub his belly, he is putty in your hands. While the two usually get along quite well, they have their moments. Which often end in Techne barking at Tai, and she threatening to shut him up the 'old fashion way'.


Senshi



Symbol:Lowercase Rho
Main Color: Bright Red
Secondary Color: Thistle

Transformation

Phrase: "Rho Crisis Power, Make Up!"

Sequence: Tai calls out her transformation phrase, her body begins to glow in many shades of red. Holding her stick above her head with both hands she starts to spin around. Streaming out from her henshin stick, thistle ribbons mixed with shapes of stars and hearts surround her mid section and form her bodice. Bringing her arm down to her side the ribbons separate and form the rest of her fuku. She raises her stick up to her face, tapping lightly on her forehead, forming her tiara. Opening her eyes she takes one final spin and stands in her ending pose; Arms crossed across her chest, fingers spread apart. Left foot pointing straight, right foot turned out to the side.

Introduction Phrase: “I am Sailor Rho, The senshi of Metabolism and Vitality and I'm about to make you sick!” Sailor Rho stands with her body sideways, arms crossed, head turned looking at who ever she is speaking to.

Fuku

Tiara: A white tiara with a polished bright red gemstone in the center.
Earrings: Polished bright red gems in the shape of her symbol in her ears.
Choker: Thistle, her symbol in bright red in the center.
Sailor Collar: Bright red, two white stripes near the outer edge.
Front Bow: Thistle, a red orb clasped at the center.
Bodice: Plain white.
Gloves: Plain white fingerless gloves coming to her elbows with one bright red brim.
Skirt: Bright Red, coming down to her mid thigh.
Back Bow: Thistle
Shoes: Knee high bright red boots with thistle cuffs at the top. (think pirate boots)
Accessories: A bright red ribbon with a thistle bow in her hair.

Attacks

Name: Under Active Thyroid!
Effect: This attack shuts down the enemy's metabolism and causes them to gain anywhere from 20 to 50 pounds instantaneously. This lasts for about 30 seconds. Since this attack hits them right in the neck, most enemies don't know what to expect, they are in for a big surprise (bad joke i know >.<). Usually the villain is so concerned why they gained that much weight so fast the other senshi could attack or do whatever they need to do.
To perform this attack, Rho concentrates while she points to her neck. Her body begins to glow with red energy, focusing all her energy into her finger tip, she points her finger at the target and mutters the words “Under Active Thyroid!” The energy zooms to the target and hits them in the neck, after a few seconds and goes through body.
Restrictions: Rho can do this twice per battle at most. It takes a lot of energy to perform. Of course the attack can be dodged, if the person is very fast. But it can't usually can not be blocked, unless there is a barrier of some kind. Putting your hand over your neck wont stop it. If it is dodged the attack will keep going until it hits someone or something, so senshi beware!



Special Power: Tai has the ability to withstand a lot of physical attacks. What would normally knock someone down to the ground, Tai could remaining standing and not be that hurt. She could be used as human shield when needed. Of course, she can't withstand something like a bomb. But punching her in the face wont really do much..
