First Appearance

Early Life

Matsama of Quinox was born the eldest of twins to the royal family of Quinox. Her mother was Minerva of Quinox, a direct descendant of The Six Who Came First. Her father was Segfred, Prince of Prospero, a moon within the domain of Uranus. Segfred had wooed and married Minerva as part of a bet that he had with his brother, who in turn married the Queen of Uranus.

The birth of twins was a rare occurrence on Quinox, and thus caused some alarm, but the fact that Matsama was born first eased much of the worry, especially of the chance of having a male ruler for the planet. As was expected, not long after her birth, she was taken to the Moon to be presented to the Queen of the Moon Kingdom.

Her early years were mostly filled with what was expected of a child of royalty. While she was often cared for by her parents, there were times when she was looked after by the High Priestess, Millina, as well as her young daughter, Freya. She would also often spend certain seasons visiting her aunts and uncles on Uranus and Prospero.

A Tale of Three Friends

Growing up, Matsama had two friends in particular to whom she was very close. One was Hedeki, son of the Quinox Knight, one of her mother's bodyguards. Due to Matsama's twin brother often learning alongside the boy, Matsama would see Hedeki often. The other came in the form of the young son of the Earl of Titan. During a routine trip by the Earl to Quinox to visit his counterpart, he chose to bring his young son along, the boy curious to see the planet, even though her mother was distressed a having to stay behind. The boy, Sean, almost instantly bonded with Hedeki and Matsama, which eventually led to further visits for Sean with his new found friends. The two boys, especially, would become fairly protective of Matsama, something which almost everyone noticed. The bond was so close that rumors began to spring up that the young heir to Titan was being prepared for betrothal to the young princess, something which at one point Sean's own mother entertained. As the three grew older, though, it became more and more obvious that the young son of the Knight of Quinox held a special affection for the princess. Things eventually came to a head during one of the grand gatherings of the Outer Kingdoms, when the young Knight in training risked his life in order to bring back a special flower for the princess. Though he was punished for the incident, this act cemented the two's love for one another, with Sean doing his best to support his friend in all his endeavors. However, such halcyon days would not last forever.

The Destruction of Quinox and a new home

At approxmitly 4:00 in the morning in the year 8099 BCE, Matsama was awoken from her sleep by the sound of panic through the castle. Investigating, she soon learned that a gigantic wall of dark flames was sweeping across the planet's surface and would very soon destroy the city as well as the castle she was living in. Though she protested and begged to stay, her parents forcefully placed her, her brother, the young knight of Quinox and Freya (by now living in the form of a maunian cat) within a spacecraft and launched it in a direct path to The Moon. As they left, Matsama looked back and witnessed the death of her world, exasperated by the low-level psychic link she held with her brother, who felt the death of almost every living being on the planet. This left her in a broken state of shock. While the group arrived safely and was quickly brought before Queen Serenity, Matsama was so shaken by the events that she could barely register anything around her. Feeling a great deal of responsibility towards the two children of her now dead friend, Serenity placed the royals under her protection as her wards, treating them very much like family in many ways. Matsama was installed within the palace and for nearly three weeks, she remained in her room, neither sleeping or eating and spending most of her times swinging from deep depression to loud wailing in anguish. It was through the combined efforts of Hedeki as well as a few of the Inner Court Princesses which finally broke through to her and though it took time, Matsama slowly began to accept her new place within the moon court.

Abilities

• Quinoxian Physiology: Matsama had the physiology shared by all Quinoxians, including a dense bone structure and night vision.

• Air Powers: Matsama can control all forms of air. Due to having never really experimented with her powers, Matsama could only create blasts of air from her hands.

Trivia

• Like the other princesses, Matsama was gifted Aether Castle by Queen Serenity, originally located in orbit around the planet as a third satellite. It's current location is unknown.

• Matsama was a talented dancer, a trait which has carried over to her reincarnation Matsumi.

• Compared to Matsumi, Matsama was much more passive and gentle than her reincarnation, but they share many of the same personality traits none the less.

• Due to her background, Matsama was fluent in both Quinoxian and Uranian languages. Her Saturnian for the most part was awful.

• While her personality is almost completely subsumed by that of Matsumi's, there have been hints that she still exists in some fashion within the soul of the senshi.

• Matsama's name in Quinoxian can be read in two separate ways: Matsama, meaning Gift of Love or Mat'sama, meaning Final Hope.

• There was some tension between the Princess of Quinox and the Princess of Uranus, partially due to their paternal grandmother favoring the former over the latter.
