Henshin Item- Sailor Nausikaa's henshin item is a ball filled with silver light, shimmering and beautiful. Sometimes, as you look into its depths, you may see an image of the Chronos staff, spinning slowly. The orb is small, the size of two balled fists, and emits a strange, beautiful aura.

Henshin Phrase- "Nausikaa Asteroid Power, Make up!"

Transformation- She clasps her henshin orb tightly in her hands, and murmurs her phrase. "Nausikaa," she whispers first, as she ball begins to glow. "Asteroid Power…" she continues softly, raising the orb into the air. "Make…" she says, closing her eyes. "Up!" she yells suddenly, and red-and-silver ribbons of light burst from her henshin orb as she releases it, letting it hover. Her street clothes dissolve as she levitates into the air, and the ribbons twine down and twist around her, turning white to form her leotard. The dark red bows in front and back fade into view, and her gloves, brooch, collar, choker, and boots appear in a flash of silver light. She does a somersault in the air, her short silver skirt appearing. She then opens her eyes, which flash brilliantly as her tiara forms. Finally, she extends a hand, and the orb flashes once more. Her Chronos Staff appears in the extended hand, the orb flies to its place in the staff, and Sailor Nausikaa lands on the ground, holding the Staff to one side.

Fuku- The basic part of her fuku is a white, leotard-like, form-fitting piece of clothing. It has large, puffy sleeves and a silver, sailor-style collar. She has a silver choker and gloves with silver trimming, as well as a short, flippy silver skirt. Her high-heeled boots have silver edging with a gold star in the center of the trimming on each boot. Her tiara is gold with a silver inset, and she has a deep red ribbon on her chest and another at the back of her skirt. In the knot of the front ribbon sits a gleaming silver star. When she is transformed, her hair is piled atop her head in a fancy updo and held in place by strings of rubies, joined together at the top of the hairdo with an ornate silver clasp.

Items- Nausikaa possesses the Chronos Staff. It is much like Pluto's Garnet Rod; however, it is a deep red, and Nausikaa's henshin orb is in the place of the Garnet Orb. With her Chronos Staff, she will supposedly be able to control time, but she has yet to master her full power. She uses her Chronos Staff as a harness for her power.

Strengths- Her serious, steady nature can often assist her in a fight. Many times, the best thing to do is remain calm, and she does this well. Also, she is surprisingly agile and fast, which can get her out of many tight spots.

Weaknesses- Unfortunately, which her calm nature can often be an assistance, it can also be a hindrance. Sometimes her near-apathy does not provide her with enough drive to fight. Also, she is weak physically and easily harmed. Finally, she sometimes gets so deep into herself that she fails to notice what is around her.

Powers- Time Distorting Scream: She raises her Chronos Staff into the air and murmurs, "Time...Distorting...Scream!", her voice escalating to a yell on the last word. A ray of silver-and-red light bursts from the Staff so quickly that time around it appears to slow. It crashes down on her target, then compresses into a ball in front of the enemy and explodes, doing a fairly large amount of damage. This power takes a moderate amount of energy from Sailor Nausikaa.

History-
Pluto was a lone, hidden senshi who spent her time guarding the Time Gate, an area forbidden to any but the royal family and Pluto herself. However, one day, Toyowa Hotaka, a handsome, passionate, and curious young man found a way to reach the fabled Time Gate and its legendary guardian. They immediately fell in love.
They soon wed. Their love was deep and beautiful, the likes of which is rarely seen. The sort of love that results in beautiful things. Like Emi.
They were delighted with the baby. She was a happy girl, her lovely red eyes filled with such light. Watching her grow up was a joy. Then, one day, when she was five, her parents left her with the Inner Senshi and spent some time alone by the Time Gate.
Pluto came back, pale and shaking. There had been an accident, she said. She went to deal with a minor distortion, and when she returned, Hotaka had wandered off into the depths of Time, his foolish curiosity getting the better of him. He was surely dead.
At first, Emi blamed her mother. However, by the time she was six she realized her mother was not at fault. She saw the pain in Setsuna's eyes, and she knew her mother grieved as much as she did.
Nevertheless, Emi changed after that. She yearned to be as strong as her mother, and perhaps she took it too far. She began to hide behind a wall, to conceal her emotions, and to push others away. She was no longer joyous Emi. She was a dark, mysterious girl. From time to time, her old cheer would shine true, but for the most part she hid it.
When Sirius attacked and the senshi were forced into the mountains, Emi threw herself into her training with her mother, hoping to please her. She did it with cold, emotionless fervor, eyes dark as she performed maneuvers perfectly and agilely. She felt ready for the surprise attack on Sirius…but she was hardly ready for Sirius's attack on the senshi. She failed, and in one of her rare moments pain flashed in her eyes. She had failed her mother.
She traveled to the present with the other Asteroid Senshi, determined to destroy Sirius this time. She lives alone, oddly enough. She attends the prestigious school Mangekyou Gakuen, but is for the most part unnoticed, she is so quiet. When asked who her parents are, she gives their true names, and has carefully kept out of trouble so that no teachers have requested to meet the Toyowas. She pays her rent with an after-school job at an expensive boutique that bores her immensely but pays well. Another perk to the job is that, rather than health insurance, the store owner has agreed to pay her tuition at Mangekyou Gakuen.She has to find the other senshi, especially her mother...but can she?
