Solar System Sailor Senshi: Sailor Moon / Princess Serenity • Sailor Mercury • Sailor Mars • Sailor Jupiter • Sailor Venus Many Sailor Senshi are also Princesses. This includes Princess Serenity and Princess Kakyuu among others. Jim Crace's novel Quarantine (1997) was shortlisted for the Man Booker prize, and mathematical scientists at Cambridge have studied the beguiling rhythmic patterns in his prose. His latest book, Harvest, is a tale about the way outside forces rupture communal life in a rural English town. The author spoke to me by phone from his home near Birmingham, England.

The first record of the opening four professions being grouped together is in William Congreve's Love for Love (1695), which has the lines:It goes like this. You're starting off in that first sentence: tinker, tailor. Not "tinker tailor soldier sailor," not only with alliteration, but with but with matching pairs of syllables: Tinker. Tailor. Soldier. Sailor. And, you've got a perfect rhyme: tailor and sailor. Those four words there could not be stitched more tightly together than they are in the form that I've just given them to you. Silk, satin, cotton, rags (or silk, satin, velvet, lace) (or silk, satin, muslin, rags) How shall I get it? Then you come to the third line. Again, we observe pairs of syllables—but there's a subtle change, and a weird change. "Tinker tailor; soldier sailor; rich man, poor man." You've got repetition—but exactly the same words don't rhyme with each other. Pear doesn't rhyme with pear; bear rhymes with pear. "Man" and "man" don't rhyme—they're simply repetitions. There's a kind of loss of verve about repeating a word. So it's subtly, subtly starting to fall apart.

If you were a boy, you would chomp a bit, and it would tell you who you would become later in life. But if you were a girl, when you reeled off this little rhyme, it would only tell you who you were going to marry. When we were kids we wouldn't have seen the feminist aspect of it, that fact that women had different outcomes from men—that women were only defined by marriage, while men were defined by what they did. During the Dream Arc, while Usagi and Mamoru were afflicted with the curse, the other Guardians would seem to feel something was wrong and mentally call out to them, which Usagi could hear. Murray] couldn't articulate it," Crace said, "but he wouldn't need to articulate it. Because it's all about the sinew in his body that delivers the stroke. And I guess in my pretentious way, that's what I'm saying: It's all about the sinew in my body that delivers the stroke." Endymion also has a deeper connection to the Earth through his present day incarnation: Mamoru Chiba. Mamoru's full name translates to "Protector of Earth". Tuxedo Mask has abilities directly tied to the Earth [8] while he retains his connection to the Golden Kingdom and Helios. Tuxedo Mask is the Senshi equivalent for the Earth [2] and retains his previous life's strong connection to the Sun. The franchise initially presents Sailor Guardians as heroines in a fight of light against darkness; however, their more noble characteristics are from the ideology Sailor Moon shares with her close protectors. The idea Senshi are inherently well meaning is gradually subverted throughout the series. This process is completed with the final villains being Sailor Guardians themselves who hold a different point of view. The manga takes this further and suggests Senshi are not inherently different from the villains they have been fighting and they spring from the same source.
