Background
Her parents, Taro and Shinju Tsukino were high school sweethearts, and they were both on their school’s soccer teams. Given their mutual love of soccer, Afuru was enrolled in a soccer class at 6 years old and loved the sport. When she was 8, Taro taught her how to ride a bike. Her mother and her liked watching ice skating so one day, Shinju asked Afuru if she was interested in learning how to ice skate and her father happily enrolled her in an ice-skating class.
She befriended a girl at ice-skating class whose mother taught singing classes and her parents got acquainted with the girl’s mother who taught singing classes. Afuru asked her friend’s mother “You teach singing?” Shinju asked Afuru
“Do you want to learn?” After Afuru happily replied “Yup.” Taro said, “Alright then, my little princess will not only be an ice princess but also a singing princess.” Taro lifted her on her shoulders which made her laugh. Afuru’s singing instructor took Afuru and her daughter to see the opera at times and sometimes, Afuru’s paternal cousin, Usagi, was invited along.
In junior high, her family moved to a new house, and Afuru became the attacking midfielder on the Teikō Junior High girls’ soccer team and her jersey number was #10. She went to the Kaijō vs. Touou game with her best friend, Tomiko Mikan, and they gave Ryōta Kise cookies that they made. While going with Mika and Tomiko to Kaijō High so Afuru could decide on what high school to enroll in for the following year, she was recruited by Umiko Kaisei and became a member of the Kasamatsu Secret Fan Club since she noticed Yukio Kasamatsu's looks, playmaking, and that he supported Ryōta Kise up when he wasn't able to get up plus she recognized his former incarnation while watching the Kaijō vs. Touou game.
At some point in the 9th grade, Afuru was forced to resign from the soccer team to focus on high school entrance exams.
Relationships
Family
parents — Taro and Shinju Tsukino, Kenji and Ikuko Tsukino (paternal uncle and maternal aunt by marriage, Usagi and Shingo Tsukino (paternal cousins)
Both her parents love her dearly. Taro taught her how to bike when she 8. Shinju introduced Afuru to ice skating as they would watch ice skating performances on the TV together. Both parents want to encourage her to learn new things, but Shinju always makes sure to confirm her interest and her father always enrolls her in classes. Taro sees Afuru as his princess and she misses him during sports season because he is a sports announcer, but she is not lonely because her mother is always at home to care for her. Shinju taught her how to cook and do flower arrangement. They go grocery shopping and cook together, when possible, Taro is rather overprotective of Afuru as he got ballistic and ran after the boy she was romantically interested in with a broom when he found out she had feelings for him, and she had her mother had to make sure Kōsuke didn’t get hurt by Taro.
As Afuru and Usagi resembled one another in looks and part of their temperament, they were as close as sisters. Usagi was sometimes invited to opera concerts with Afuru’s singing instructor and the instructor’s daughter when they were kids. After Afuru’s family moved to a new house for junior high, they don’t see each other as often as teenagers. Although Usagi loves Afuru dearly, she hates it when her family compares her to Afuru who is athletic and gets better grades. Shingo even rubs it with a comment about why Afuru can’t be his sister. Afuru bashfully accepts her aunt and uncle’s praise but gently rebukes Shingo to not be mean to Usagi. Afuru did feel awkward when Usagi’s family compares her to Usagi and is apologetic, but Usagi brushes off her apology, telling her not to worry and complements her on doing well in school and soccer and that it must be hard which Afuru confirms. Even if Usagi does feel somewhat jealous when her family compares her to Afuru, she does think her cousin is amazing. They eventually remember that they are past-live twins.

In their current lives, they didn’t meet until Afuru decided to visit the high school campuses of her recruiters to decide her high school of choice. Afuru visited Touou Academy’s gymnasium with her friends, and she cried upon recognizing Kōsuke was the reincarnation of Ignatios. Kōsuke was worried as to why she was crying, and he took an instant liking to her because she was pretty and also disliked Daiki Aomine as she called him “Ahomine Daiki!” after he made perverted comments at her. Kōsuke also scolded Daiki Aomine on her behalf and after getting to know her more after their initial encounter, he asked her out.

Past Life
In her past life, she was named Tranquility after her mother's younger twin, and she was Princess Serenity’s younger fraternal sister. Whereas Princess Serenity has no biological father, Princess Tranquility is the product of an affair between Queen Serenity and Zeus. Tranquility was eventually discovered to possess the Pandia Crystal and a daughter of Zeus, so she was sent to Jupiter to become Princess Jupiter’s guardian senshi, Sailor Pandia, and guard her post on Pandia. As Princess Jupiter’s guardian senshi, she had sworn an oath to only value Princess Jupiter but despite falling in love with a Martian knight during her birthday ball, the fact that she was daughter of Queen Serenity made her exempted from the execution of Zeus’s 49 lightning bolts but was forced to watch the execution. She met her end helping to defend the planet Jupiter against Queen Metaria.
Guardian Animal
Tsukiyomi, a being from the canine planet, Argos. He has the mark of the Moon Kingdom on his forehead. He has black and white fur and steel blue eyes and looks like a Siberian Husky in his animal form. In his Argoan humanoid form, he has tan skin, has black spiky hair tied into a thick ponytail that reaches his upper back and curls up at the end, and stands at 5’10”. He has a strong resemblance to Yukio Kasamatsu in this form. Queen Serenity's dying wish was that he guide those of Lunar descent. In modern days, after Princess Serenity's tear manifested into the Silver Crystal, he found her unconscious and stayed by her side even though she promptly forgot her past life memories and guided her to resume her duty as Sailor Pandia when the time came.
Allies and Teammates
The Jovian Moon Sailor Guardians
Since Zeus was an amorous god, it resulted in Sailor Leda, Sailor Pandia, and Sailor Orthosie being Princess Jupiter's half-sisters, but it has allowed them to have a sisterly bond even in modern days. Lucky for her, her friends, and teammates on the soccer team: Sailor Euporie - Tomiko and Sailor Orthosie - Mika are also her fellow Jovian Moon Guardians. As the third eldest of the Jovian Moon Guardians, she feels like Allette and Makoto are like big sister figures to her even though Makoto is younger than her while Mika, her best friend, is as close as sisters now after finding out they were half-sisters in a previous life.
Tomiko Mikan aka Sailor Euporie
They are best friends, soccer teammates, and fellow fans of the model, Ryōta Kise. They both are the few people Mika Midorima would invite over to her house as they are also Mika's besties aside from being Mika's neighbors. They are both protective of their Ryōta Kise magazines. They made cookies for Ryōta Kise which they were able to give to him after advertising how special they were to him. While going with her soccer teammates and friends to Kaijō High so Afuru could decide on what high school to enroll in for the following year, they were recruited by Umiko Kaisei and became a member of the Kasamatsu Secret Fan Club. They both cooperate in their alter egos.
Mika Midorima aka Sailor Orthosie
When it was time for Afuru to attend junior high school, her family moved to a different house, and she was welcomed in the neighborhood by Mika and Tomiko. As the girls got to know one another, they found out they all liked physical activities including soccer. When Mika and Tomiko found that Afuru was attending the same school and was planning on joining the girls’ soccer team, they were excited. When Mika and Tomiko hung out on their free days, they would invite Afuru to come along. Aside from Tomiko, she is one of the few people Mika would invite over to her house as they are also Mika’s besties aside from being Mika’s neighbors. In addition to being kind, athletic, all three can cook.

Inspirations
She’s a Sailor Moon twin so she shares some characteristics with Sailor Moon including sharing her Japanese voice actress as I like the idea of twin characters sharing similar voices, but I enjoy making younger twins have a sense of maturity and elegance compared to their elder twins. Personally, for me, if Sailor Venus is Princess Serenity’s body double, then it makes sense for Princess Serenity to have pale blond hair like in the first season of Sailor Moon Crystal, so I gave white hair to Princess Tranquility. When I was younger, I read a Sailor Moon fanfiction that gave her a brother named Tranquility. I later came up with a Blood+ crossover Sailor Moon headcanon with my coauthor cousin that had it that Queen Serenity had a younger twin who was the mother of the first Chiropteran Queens and so Tranquility was named after her aunt. Thanks to my coauthor cousin coming up with the idea that her mother could’ve been involved with sports during high school. Her favorite food is mochi like the Japanese folklore of the rabbit pounding mochi on the moon. She loves ice skating since Princess Serenity was good at it in the 90’s anime and Naoko loves ice skating plus her transformation poses are based on ice skating. Her tiara attack was inspired by Moon Tiara Boomerang. Rose Tinted Elation was inspired by the term “rose tinted glasses”. Stella Rosa is a wine brand whose name I used for her Stella Rosa Shock attack. Since Super Sailor Moon had a rainbow attack, I assigned Sailor Pandia’s attack, Pandia Rose Spectrum, to her super form.She is inspired by the goddess, Pandia, as Pandia’s name means “all-brightness” and was a daughter of Zeus and the goddess, Selene.
