Description And the last of the Triplets makes her debut; Sailor Guarding Elysian! <3

I'll admit she was a hard character to finalize. Her names, mainly. Selene and Gaia were named for the Greek Goddess of their Sailor Crystal, but Elysian, in Greek Mythology, was place for soldiers in the Underworld. In the SM Manga it was the location of Endymion's Golden Kingdom. Either way, it had no Goddess. So I named her Princess Arabeth. It's a name I created (although seeing as there are something like six billion people on the planet, other people have probably thought of it too but whatever) so it can mean whatever the hell I want it too.

I picked Sailor 'Guarding' Elysian because in both the Manga and the Anime, Helios is a protector. In the Manga Mamorou mainly, and the Anime ChibiUsa. So Arabeth gained these abilities, and as a Senshi has almost strictly defensive powers. While Selene and Gaia kick ass, she makes sure the bad guy doesn't kick back.

The name she takes on when she and her sisters pretend to be civillians is Hisoka, meaning 'reserved'. Because she is. She's quiet and fairly shy, and hardly ever speaks up when she has an idea. But Selen and Gaia are working on getting her out of her shell, don't worry. Because she mostly keeps to herself, she spends a lot of time by herself studying. Either that, or praying with Helios. Since there's not much else she thinks she CAN do.

Why? Well, for one thing she doesn't think much of herself or believe in her abilities, which is something her sisters can't understand why because she is smart cookie, with all the studying she does. And the reason for that is...

She was born blind.

But, she often gets visions and a lot times, they come true. Also, when she transforms in Sailor Guarding Elysian, she can see! The first time she transformed she just fell on to her knees and cried, she was so unbelievably happy. And she stayed in Senshi form for a long time after that, not wanting to go back to being sightless. But eventually her sisters, parents and Grandparents convinced her, since staying in Senshi form so long was very draining. Still, she always jumps at the chance for training so she can see again!

So onto her colors. The blue and green are obviously from Helios's outfit, and the gold is from the horn he had as Pegasus. Her eyes are amber-ish like his, although a bit more orange since I wanted to have a bit of ChibiUsa's red in there. And I left her hair white since no other color was co-operating. But it's okay, I like the white hair. It's a nice contrast from Gaia's black.

This pose was fun, since it gives you all a back view of the Triplets' fuku. Plus I've never drawn a person backwards before! I altered the arms/hands just because, but I had no reference for that though so I hope they look okay. And the left foot too! Man oh man was that hard to draw! I tried my best, so please go easy on me!

So anywho, tada! I hope you like them!

Well I was planning on making a group picture by using the ones I've made of them, like Yuni-chan. But eventually I'll try. I'm not good at group pictures though.
