Second entry for =DracheaRannak's Sailor Sun/Sailor Earth contest! :D This is the closest you're going to get to a standard senshi out of me - I'm REALLY sorry!

Name: Yuka Chikyuuno (means something to the effect of "fragrence of the earth")
Age: 16
Birthday: April 27th
Birthstone: diamond!
Colour: a sort of light grey brown I suppose
Weapon: The Phantasmagorial Grimoire
Technique: Earth Devastating Detonator, Disengage (the attack is read out of the book, at which point the thing on the front of the book, which is actually a grenade, detatches, and Sailor Earth throws it at the enemy, at which point it expodes with a very impressive display of fireworks)
Likes: nature in any form, clean energy, anything beautifully or cleverly made, environmentalists, friendly people
Dislikes: pollution, anything ugly or cheaply made
Personality: Probably the sweetest and gentlest person you could possibly imagine. She generally adores the world around her and everyone in it. She also very intelligent, thinks carefully before speaking and making decisions, and finishes everything she starts no matter how long it takes her or how frusterating it is.
History: Yuka was born and raised in Tokyo. Her father is a freelance business consultant and her mother owns a small flower shop. She also has an older sister currently attending university. Yuka has an incredible talent with anything mechanical and loves making little useful things - as an example, the irrigation system in her mother's flower shop. She hopes to one day become a famous inventor and use her talent to help save the environment and stamp out poverty.

Some Notes on the Design:
If you're looking at this, you'll probably be wondering:
"Hey, wtf?"
Good question. Let me try to explain my reasoning behind designing her this way:
First off, her colours. Like Sailor Sun, I have a feeling Sailor Earth would be kind of special, like Sailor Moon, and therefore her colours wouldn't have to apply to earth. Therefore, I focused more on giving her a combination that Naoko hadn't used.
Second, the steampunky-ness. I didn't JUST do this to stand out from the other entries. The thing is, Uranus already has shokewave-y/earthquake-y powers, and later on in the series, Jupiter gets nature powers. I have NO idea why. So I thought, "Say, I know! she can be the senshi of human achievement!" Remember, earth isn't just nature at this point - it's also our civilization. Plus, the symbol for earth (an equilateral cross with a circle round it, which I've worked into her design) looks rather like a gear, and well, steampunk is just cool. :D
Third, the roses on her bodice. Bit of a nod to Tuxedo Kamen and the speculation about him being the equivalent of Sailor Earth, that. :D

It kinda reminds me of Steam punk fashion.
It's an excellent design and a good choice of colors.
......And I want her shoes. XD

I just love the design of both, Sailor Sun and Sailor Earth made by you. It's original and that's the best part of it! :)

It's great that your style is so visible in design of senshi, that make them even more interesting. Keep it that way! :D

By the way both - Sailor Earth and Sun have great hairs and eyes!

Thanks!

P.S: Oh my gosh, your contest is totally tailor made for me. I gather the requirement is that contestants use a model from your stock. Is fiddling a bit with the clothing kosher?
