Sailor Tyche


Fuku: Her fuku's side bands are red, with a trim of black between the red and the white. While the fuku is sleeveless, it has a higher collar, with a black band at the throat. Her shoulder mantle and bow are red, and the mantle has a thin wedge of black in the center of each side. Her gloves are white, with a band of black, then a band of red at the top, and her boots are black with red trim at the top. A black band with a red heart catches her hair, and her brooch, a simple black circle with a red cube within, rests on her bow.

Symbol: An equilateral diamond with a small circle in the center

Henshin Phrase: Tyche Goddess Power! Make Up!"

Henshin Brooch: Her brooch is a small red cube, similar to a die but without spots on the faces, suspended in a ring of black metal with a pin running through the top and bottom corners, allowing it the rotate.

Henshin: She places her hands in front of her chest, in a prayer-like position. Her head drops to where her lips brush against her forefingers, then snaps up. Leaning forward slightly, her arms sweep back, scattering cards behind her. These cards swing back around her, circling a few times. As a card passes, the clothing under it disappears, but it trails motes of black red and white. Those motes fall to her skin where they become her fuku. When the fuku is finished, she juts her left hip slightly, such that her weight is over her left foot and her right foot is pointed. Her left arm is loose at her side and her right arm is curved upwards. The cards that have been circling her body come to rest, fanned, in her right hand.

Weapon: A deck of tarot-like playing cards. She uses these as shuriken or throwing knives, and hurls them with uncanny accuracy. She tends to get a lot of lucky shots, and can usually get them to return to her hand when thrown, if desired.

Challenge Phrase: "Riding the winds of Caprice, I am Sailor Tyche, Senshi of Fortune, Goddess of Luck. (Fans her cards) Care to play?."

Spell: Tyche Gambler's Edge!
* Tyche (From an at-ease standing position, her right leg slides right and the knee bends. The left foot remains where it was. As a result, her body is to the right of where it was. Her left arm straightens at a slight downward angle out from her side, and her right arm has the elbow out to the right side, with the forearm bent up and back towards the head. The right hand curves in towards the head, then snaps out, fanning her cards. At the end of this stage, her body is in a position similar to the stance of a left handed fencer seen from the side, except that her head faces forward, not to the side.)
* Gambler's (The right hand snaps the fanned cards back together to where they are, to all appearances, one card. The hand finishes the snap with the index and middle fingers straight upwards, and the thumb angled toward her chin at a 45° angle. Her pinky and ring finger are folded down. The card is balanced on her fingertip, and is rotating rapidly. Her right foot rotates on its heel and her body shifts to where both knees are slightly bent. Simultaneously she brings her arms in front of her. The left arm moves to where the elbow is at her side, the forearm in front of her body, and her wrist at the top of her navel, palm upwards. The right elbow stops above the left fingers while the right hand crosses to line up with the middle of her left shoulder and left foot. The thumb remains pointed towards her chin and the fingertips/base of card parallel with her lips.)
* Edge! (Her right hand and left foot remain still as she slides back to a standing straight position. The left forearm rotates so that the left hand is lined up directly underneath the right hand, palm to the right and all fingers upwards. Her head lowers slightly. While the right hand has not moved, the change of her body position means that the right hand is directly in front of her face.)
At the completion of the spell, cards start flying out of the spinning card, in great numbers and at high velocity. Because luck is focussed into the spell, the cards will not hit friends or innocents, even in a crowded area. Enemies will be hit, even if hidden, and usually in critical areas. In the case of enemies with vulnerable focus items (such as the flutes of the 3:00 fairies), they will be hit as well. Likewise, if the enemy were standing under a scaffold, stray cards might cut the rope, dropping it on him.

Guardian Animal: None yet, but she will be getting one in an upcoming episode.
