Where did you get the idea for Sailor Astera?
Well, a long time ago, when I first got interested in Sailor Moon, it dawned on me that there was not a Sailor Senshi of the asteriod belt. (Keep in mind I had not yet heard of the Asteriod Senshi ^^) So, I got to thinking, if that used to be a planet, shouldn’t there have been a senshi for it? And if there was a senshi for it, what was her name, and what happened to her planet? So, I developed Sailor Astera to explain why there is an asteriod belt. I suppose the Asteriod Senshi could fit into the story because they could have been placed there after Astera was destroyed. Either way, that’s why Sailor Astera was created!
