Personality: Ringo is a happy outgoing person. She tends to be weird though, discussing philosophical things that involve plants and making random outbursts about the gathering darkness. Ringo tends to space out easily and becomes a little loopy, especially when she starts humming in the middle of her class. People tend to talk about her strange behavior, but it never bothers Ringo. She has a couple of good friends at the TA school and while she isn't overly popular she isn't very lonely as well. Ringo also looks up to Hino-san for the fact like everyone else in the school, they think she is cool. She wishes she could get a chance to say hello and ask her about her own strange problems she has, but Ringo tends to forget and goes on her way.

She also goes to church a lot to pray for her visions of darkness to go away, and her strange behaviors to calm down.

Quick Senshi Stats

Senshi name: Sailor Trifid
Past name: Trein
Symbol: Grey silhouette of a wavy trident encompassed in a Red N.
Powers from: Trifid Nebula (more info provide below)
Colors: Black/Grey and Fuchsia/Pink


Henshin information

Henshin Item: A double ringed red bracelet with a green flower pendant in the center that her symbol on it. The bracelet is very durable and washes off very easily.

Henshin description: Holding out both her arms she pulls them to her chest and has her head ducked down while her hands, balled into fists cover her face, Ringo yells "Trifid power makeup!" Her bracelet on her right hand then glows and shoots out a barrage of bright fuchsia stars. Zooming out we see a three lobed red fuchsia cloud that swallows her up. Then three dark black rays of lights burst through the cloud revealing Sailor Trifid's silhouette in fetal position. Another dark ray of light burst from her hand and she jumps up and lands on her feet, and we now see her entire Sailor Fuku complete with her symbol behind her. She winks and poses. 

Fuku description: Basically like the image. Sailor Trifid has a straight tiara, like all the Nebula senshi, with a fuchsia jewel in the center. Her chocker is simply black with a delicate fuchsia flower in the center of it. Her chocker matches her sailor collar, which is black and has a single white stripe on it. The collar is attached to a fuchsia bow that looks more like thin flattened butterfly wings. In the center of the bow is a black three piece broach, that has a large center orb, and two smaller orbs below it on each side. The upper part of her fuku is white and is short, only reaching above her navel. 

The second piece of the outfit we see she is wearing are black puffy shorts made out of a nice cotton like material. The shorts go to her mid-upper thigh. We also see she is wearing calf-high black sleek boots with a 1 inch heel. The boots have a fuchsia belt about 2 inches from the top of it, and has a thick fuchsia stripe with a black bottom on her heels. Her gloves aren't really gloves but more like arm warmers. They are quite long, starting about 2 inches above her elbows and they flare out and end at her wrists, revealing her graceful hands and black fingernails. The arm warmers have two bands of black on the upper and lower part. As for accessories, Sailor Trifid has a black sideways crescent moon scar over her left eye remnants of a battle long ago. She has fuchsia flower earrings that match the flower on her chocker. She as has a fuchsia bow in her hair. 

Attack and source of Power information

Power information: Being the a senshi of the Trifid Nebula, gives star formation, debris and red-glowing gas. This photogenic nebula is visible with good binoculars towards the constellation of Sagittarius. The energetic processes of star formation create not only the colors but the chaos. The red-glowing gas results from high-energy starlight striking interstellar hydrogen gas. Lookie here at a website talking about this
Nebula.

From this information, her attack derives from her Nebula. Being a Nebula Senshi, Sailor Trifid specializes in one attack to follow Sailor Helix's example and make her attack to absolute perfection. Though considerably weaker than Sailor Helix's attack, Sailor Trifid's attack focuses more on offense than anything else. Just like the others her attack gets weaker, the further away she is from her home Nebula. 

Attack: "Trifid Dark Dust!" Sailor Trifid after yelling her attack phrase out has an adorable, yet sadistic smile as she raises both hands outwards as if to push her opponent out of the way. Small black and fuchsia dust particulars start to collect around her finger tips. They slowly begin to sparkle as beams of dark light start to emanate out from the particles. She wiggles her fingers to expel the dust matter, that surrounds her opponent and wraps itself around, usually crushing the opponent with the high energy matter. This is what happens to a weaker opponent, they would get crushed to death, but on earth and so far away from her Nebula, the attack immobilizes the enemy for about a minute and a half. If the enemy is weak to high energy attacks, it will perish instantly.

Past History:
Data is missing except the small entry below.  (I don't want to give this plot away)

All was well for Trein, minus the physical ability she lacked compared to the other in the elite senshi group led by Sailor Helix. She was known as the wonder girl with magic, but the fool of the group. She didn't mind and was happy about how far she came. One day all this came to a screeching halt when a dark gelatinous blob with no real shape or form started to eat the Nebulas. She set out with her leader Sailor Helix and the other Nebula Senshi to destroy it, but they vanished....

Present History: Ringo Ryoko is a outgoing happy 13 year old. That is until she hears the plants tell her the world is going to end and has fragment visions at most peculiar times. Ringo tells her grandmother these things and tells her she think she is crazy. Her grandmother tells her she as a gift, and instead of thinking she is insane, should listen to it. Ringo is very reluctant to listen to her and gets lost in other things, like helping her sister at her store, working on homework and going to choir practice. 

This has been her typical life, minus the visions, until one day when Ringo bumps into Hino-san. She is elated to finally meet her, but then she gets a horrible feeling about Hino-san's life. Before she can say anything, she sees a creature behind them and grab Hino-san. Ringo knows she has to help her, but doesn't have a clue how and runs after the creature and Hino-san...
