   (snip other senshi abilities)   
      
   I agree that that all of the girls have 'normal mode' personality traits   
   that match their senshi powers. Rei, for example has a fiery temper, but   
   Rei's psychic abilities seem above and beyond that to me. None of the other   
   Senshi have abilities like it, and yet, her Grandfather does.   
      
   I never concidered Rei's scroll attacks to be a senshi ability, they look   
   more like a religious incantation because of her being a priestess.   
      
   PS, As far as abilities go, don't forget Usagi is a whiz with the frizbee!
