Setting; Sailor Moon - with a ton of other Phantom Thief anime/troupes mentions and elements

OC; New Female OC - called/named "Fae Rhearn" - A phantom thief - name/title is "Rose" - that uses magic to steal (Is it real magic, just tricks or both? No one knows, messing with a lot of minds this way, and she's not saying anything. All apart of the show and mystery of course.) what she wants/needs.

Death; On her last theft, was shot to death by an sniper that was apart of an underground criminal organization that had also killed her mother and stole everything from her father.

Reincarnated As; Usagi Tsukino

Pairings; ?????

Just a heads up, I am not using canon pairings in this story, so no Usagi and Mamoru. Also, I might use real world examples of expensive items - such as paintings, jewels, ect. - and I will be making some up. Meaning, I will be making up a person, the expensive item that they made, ect. If it's a real thing that I use in this story at any time, I'll be sure to tell you all in the end notes.

Now, I just want everyone to think about this. Living one life in one anime troupe, and then dying and then being reborn into another. Fae was the Phantom Thief in her last life - the most wanted and elusive criminal ever, with millions of fans and many that wanted her died or behind bars, for multiple reasons. And then she is killed, and finds herself reborn into a new world. One, where unknowingly, is a different anime troupe. Honestly, she doesn't really notice it at first or even that much later. Anime is a weird thing at best, and it runs on it's own rules.

I mean honestly, Sailor Moon (and He-Man, but that's not anime) is a place where you wear less clothing and suddenly no one knows who you are. And in most anime, no one wears a mask or if they do, they don't change their voice or anything like that. So, be prepared for some anime rules in here, because the person who is getting reborn lived in an anime world before coming to this new anime world. Although, she does have some real life commonsense because she doesn't want to get caught by the cops. 

But, if you think she is just going to take Usagi's place and listen to something like destiny/fate, you got another thing coming.

Fae takes no one's shit, and she is not about to go about doing something because someone says it's her fate to do so. She doesn't believe in such things, she thinks there are too many futures to count and that she makes her own with every choice she makes. Her duty? Ha! She'd rather just steal whatever or help someone out with her thefts than anything else. She's a mix of many different types of Phantom Thieves that I have read about and watched, so this is going to be fun!

Fae, like stated before, was THE Phantom Thief, that was simply called "Rose", or "Phantom Thief Rose". She used magic in her thefts, and no one knows if they were magic tricks or actual magic or if it's both. No one knows. And Fae is not telling. In fact, I am not going to even say anything on it, and leave it up in the air. It's more fun that way, lol. But, what I am getting at is that she is not about to hang up her mask just because she died. No, this just means that she can do it all over again in a new setting and without some of the pressures she had to face in her last life.

So, in other words; Magical Girl Troupe, meet Phantom Thief Troupe. Lol, I have no idea where I am going with this or if this is going to be crack or not, bit I'm going for it! Also, seasons and episodes might be out of order, I might mix things up and such. Just to make things even more interesting, but we'll see as time goes on. I'm more of a 'in the now' writer anyway.

Now, Let's jump in!

-Start Chapter-

Many agreed that Tsukino Usagi was a weird little girl. A nice one, but still weird.

A little girl with short blond hair and bright blue eyes, she looked sweet and adorable just as any other little child. Yet, she had this energy to her that was unlike any other.

The first born daughter of Tsukino Kenji and Ikuko had always been a bit wild in many ways. She wasn't stupid or rude, in fact she was quite smart, but still wasn't like any of the other girls in the neighborhood. Usagi would rather be off doing magic tricks, running around, or reading manga than playing house, taking care of dolls, or trying to act grownup. She was different than those in her age group, and her parents chalked it up to her being a bit further ahead of others mentally.

So, while weird, she still brought a smile to many faces.

But, what no one knew, there was a reason for her differences between her and other children in her age group.

Usagi could recall a life where she didn't have blond hair or blue eyes. A life where she had been a Phantom Thief unlike any before. In her last life, she had many goals, many which she never got to do because of her life being cut short. While she might have failed and died in her last life, she wouldn't in this one.

She was going to become the best Phantom Thief out there - even if this weird new world didn't have any yet. She was going to be the first, and the best of the best. She'd steal for her own gain, she'd steal for the ones that were cheated, she'd steal and take back what was stolen. She'd do it all.

This time, in this new life, there were no actual goals on what to steal. Not anymore. It was like the chains were lifted for once in her life. In this new life, she could enjoy the ride and the chase of it all.

Besides family, being a Phantom Thief was her one true love after all.

All she had to do was wait until she got old enough to actually be able to do the physical part of being a Phantom Thief. No one would take her seriously if she went out at five years old and tried to steal anything - even if she actually was able to steal whatever she wanted with no one being the wiser about it.

And that's why, at fourteen years old, Tsukino Usagi once more took on the mask of becoming the Phantom Thief, Rose.

-------------------PRESENT TIME; 11:55 pm---------------------

"Heh. They're starting to take me seriously now~" A figure dressed in a white dress shirt, black vest, black dress pants, a dark red tailcoat jacket, black top hat, red choker necklace, black gloves, and black dress shoes, stood in the shadows in the vents and cooed out, looking down into the room below them. As they moved, the little light coming from below showed that the figure was wearing a black masquerade mask that had red roses designed on it.

Below the vent was a museum room that held important pieces of artwork, police everywhere and all surrounding one small painting. One that could fit in the palm of your hand in fact. It was a painting of a dozen roses, all painted with real gold. A wonderful piece, one that is worth more than three hundred thousand dollars.

And one that a certain Phantom Thief was going to steal tonight.

----------------------------------

"All exists are closed and watched?" Detective Yuki Mori, a middle aged man with tan skin, broad shoulders, black hair slicked back neatly, black mustache, and wearing white dress shirt, black pants, black dress shoes and a brown trench coat, asked a younger police officer.

"Yes, sir!"

"Good. Go keep an eye out on the entrance way." the Detective ordered sternly. The officer saluted and then ran off. Sighing, Detective Yuki walked to another man that was around his age. The man had pale skin, short black hair, dark eyes and was dressed in a police uniform.

"Chief Kosei Hantei, everyone is in place." Detective Yuki told the man, stopping right in front of him. "Thank you again for helping me. This time that criminal is going behind bars!"

Chief Kosei gave a weary chuckle, waving off the thanks. "There is no need to thank me. Not when it is mostly my fault for not helping before." The man said with a sad sigh. "I had no idea that Phantom Thief Rose was serious when he sent that first note about stealing those small jewels. I thought it was a prank! But, then he did show up and steal them - without even being caught on camera!" Chief Kosei now looked frustrated with this whole situation and himself. "Of course this is mostly your department, but I am happy to help in any way I can. A phantom thief; I didn't even know that was a real thing."

"One that uses magic tricks of all things." Detective Yuki agreed with a short sigh, rubbing the bridge of his nose. "This sounds something right out of an manga or anime. No wonder he is getting so popular with the younger crowd."

Both men just wanted to throw their arms up and scream to the high heavens that they did not want to deal with all this shit. But, a job is a job and it's a job that they love for all it's frustration. Both just never thought they would have to deal with a Phantom Thief that somehow is tricking them all with his magic tricks - with some secretly officers thinking that it's real magic, because how else would they explain how that the thief is causally breaking the law of physics almost every time he steals something?

Phantom Thief Rose truly came out of nowhere for the whole country of Japan. Sure, the thief started small, but soon the criminal got more and more braver with every steal. No one had any idea who this guy is, but everyone can see that this man is not going to be stopping unless he is arrested or dead. The only positive that many higher ups could see is that this is just a thief they were dealing with - not someone who wants to hurt or murder others for whatever reason. In fact, Rose has saved others from certain death before and has helped solve some other cases. Of course, by "solved" they mean "stole what had been stole from someone else, returning the stolen item to the rightful owner and thus getting the real thief into trouble before leaving without even getting caught".

Rose is very much a conflicting, confusing man from what they could tell. One that no one had any real idea how to deal with.

The issue with all this is that no one can tell what his motives are besides stealing, and the public, mostly the younger generation, love Phantom Thief Rose. When he does a huge steal with a public note, many come to gather around the place where he is stealing from. It takes so long to clear out the place and put up perimeters so that no one can sneak in.

"Sir!" A young officer came running up, making the two men snap out of their thoughts. "It's almost midnight!"

"Places people!" Detective Yuki all but screamed out, making many officers jump and start scurrying to where they were supposed to be. "Our uninvited guest is about to be here!"

Just as Chief Kosei opened his mouth to also call out something - the lights shut off all of a sudden.

"He's here!" Chief Kosei warned everyone, but all those scurrying officers cried out as they couldn't see where they were going now because of the dark. Many hit one other, crashing onto the ground.

"Someone get those lights back on-!" Detective Yuki started to order, only to get cut off by another unseen voice.

"An uninvited guest, am I?" A smooth and slightly deep voice called out, humor laced in it. "How rude! I was the one who invited you all here after all."

Then, out of nowhere, a light shown down. Many shielded away from the bright light. After blinking a few times, all gasped at the sight of Phantom Thief Rose standing on a ledge that was close to one of the ceiling windows.

"Hello~!" Rose smiled, face shadowed as he gave a dramatic bow, tilting his hat like a gentleman. "Welcome one and all to my show!"

"Not this time Rose!" Detective Yuki shouted, fists shaking in anger as he glared up at the other. "We have all the exists sealed and the painting is behind bullet proof glass - there's no way that you can get to it before I put cuffs on you!"

The thief then did something shocking - he started to chuckle.

"And what's so funny?!" Chief Kosei called out, eyes narrowed and a suspicious feeling crawling up his back. "Have you finally snapped now that you're trapped?"

Rose waved that off. "No, it's just that you all think that the show hasn't started yet." He smiled at the shocked looks he got. Then, he glanced to the door, chuckling all the while. "For my first trick; Illusions!"

"I-Illusions?" Both Chief and Detective asked, eyes widening.

"Yes!" Rose beamed with a grin. "I would hurry though if you want to catch up."

"Wait, what do you mean-!" A random officer called out only to stop short when pink smoke and colorful confetti came out of nowhere from around the thief. When it finally cleared, he was gone.

"S-Sir! The painting!"

Quickly turning, Detective Yuki's eyes widened as he saw the case that held the golden rose painting gone!

"H-How in the world?!" Chief Kosei yelled out, rushing to the case that looked like it had never been opened once. "How did he steal it?!"

"Everyone head out - he couldn't have gotten far!" Detecitve Yuki ordered out, running for all he was worth out the door. "I'll take the front entrance! You four go the roof!"

"I'll go to the back!" Chief Kosei called out before lifting his walkie-talkie. "Everyone keep your eyes peeled! Rose has taken the painting and is now somewhere in the building with it! I want him caught yesterday!"

The sounds of feet stomping on the tile filled the room before all went silent. The muffled sounds of many yelling and rushing to get to where they needed to be was all that was left. After a few moments, the empty case shimmered a bit. Then, the golden rose painting shimmered into existence once more.

A near silent chuckle rang out, as Rose glided out of the shadows and walked right to the case. Snapping his fingers, pink smoke filled with case. Then, with a poof, the painting was in his hands.

'I never said what the illusion was, did I?' Mentally laughing, Rose took a moment to admire the small painting in his hands. It truly was a beautiful piece - one that he would have to keep for himself this time.

Swiftly turning, Rose smiled gently as he walked right back in the shadows. It was like he was never there is start with.

-------------------------------------

"Sir up there!"

Detective Yuki cursed when he swiftly turned and looked up to see where the officer was pointing at. Running across the roofs was the very Phantom Thief he had been hunting for.

Seemingly to sense his angry staring, Rose tilted his head and gave a smile. Throwing up a piece sign and showing the painting in his hand. Taunting him!

'That smug bastard!' Just when he was about to yell out orders to run and drive after the crook, Rose disappeared in pink smoke once more.

Blankly looking at the roof that the thief had been at, Detective Yuki strongly thought about retirement. He was much too old to be dealing with magic tricks or phantom thieves. But, he was much too stubborn to let this criminal be the one to drive him to quitting.

Harshly signing, the Detective pulled out his own walkie-talkie. "Chief, we lost him. Just saw him run off with the painting before doing one of his disappearing acts."

This thief might not have been around for long, but he was quickly becoming a problem. He was making a mockery of the police system! Rubbing his face harshly, Detective Yuki wondered who in their right minds thought this was a good idea. They would have to come up with better plans to try and beat that thief, but it was all trial and error. It wasn't like they had protocol for phantom thieves. Well, now they are making some because of all this craziness that has been going on.

Really, Detective Yuki would rather deal with just about any other case than this one. Less of a headache and would make him question the reality of magic maybe being real or that magic tricks are enough to trick a whole police squad.

'Who thinks that being a phantom thief was fun?!' Detective Yuki mentally sobbed. 'Just who is the bastard behind that mask that thinks this is all fun and games?!'

---------------?????-----------------

A shadowed figure stood in a bedroom. The golden rose painting in their hands as they gently and silently started heading to the wall besides the bed that had red sheets with a bunch of different colored roses decorated on them. Kneeling down, they quickly moved their hands about, seemingly with no reason - but then, a part of the wall moved, showing a compartment that was filled with expensive items and jewels.

"There we go~" The figured cooed out before shutting the hidden compartment in the wall. With a sigh, the figure quietly fell into their bed with a sigh, turning their head to the moonlight. Showing a teenage girl around the age fourteen.

Bright blue eyes blinked up at the moon while the wind from the open window lightly moved her short blond hair. With a sigh, the girl got situated into the bed with a smile.

'Another show done!' With a little chuckle, her voice light and no longer deep, the teen named Tsukino Usagi closed her eyes to sleep. 'They're starting to take me seriously now! How exciting~!'

It was shame that her life choices would only get her a few hours sleep, but she'd make do.

If she can do it in one life, she can do it in another.

----------7:30am------------

"Good morning~!" A light and airy voice called out into the kitchen, making the three in it look up with a smile.

"Oh, Usagi-Chan! Good morning." Ikuko smiled as she greeted her daughter, setting the last plate on the kitchen table.

"Good morning!" Kenji laughed, seeing how cheerful his oldest was. Said oldest quickly went to the youngest, Shingo, and hugged him close - making the boy flush lightly and pout, but doing nothing to push her away. Kenji chuckled, it was nice to have such good children who didn't fight all the time. "You seem happy this morning. Did you have a good dream?" Kenji asked, folding his newspaper up and putting it to the side.

"Hm?" Usagi blinked at the question, finally loosing her hold on the younger sibling she had always wanted. In her first life, she had been an only child, which, had been a small mercy. But, in this new life without chains or threats holding her down, it was a blessing to have a younger sibling to spoil and love. And Shingo's reactions to her loving on him and spoiling him is always so adorable! Just seeing that little pout and blush made her want to coo and ruffle his hair before hugging him.

It's a dream come true for her to have a full and happy family - all of them being alive and well with no threats hanging around them like a noose.

Smiling, Usagi's eyes softened. "Not really. I'm just always happy when I see you all." Then she laughed, ruffling Shingo's hair before sitting down next to him. "Especially Shingo! He has such cute bed hair in the morning!"

Both parents smiled while Shing went bright red.

"S-Stupid!" Shingo cried out, turning away from Usagi. The older sister blinked with wide eyes, pointing at herself.

"Huh?! Stupid?! What did I say wrong?!"

-End Chapter-

Here it is! Just a small introduction chapter before we really pick up the pace in the next chapter. I want everyone to just get an idea what is going on and start to show how different Fae is to Usagi.

Lol, I really am loving Fae, not going to lie - because she is different than the other OCs. Most of my other OCs come from the real world, our world, but Fae comes from another fictional world, a phantom thief anime with magical/crime/dark elements to it. I honestly watched a ton of different phantom thief anime and created Fae based off of them - as well as with my own imagination of course. So, there are elements from other anime's mixing in her because of what sources I used to create this OC fully.

Her world has different rules to it than ours and many other settings/worlds I can reincarnate her in. Honestly, she'd be breaking physics with her magic/magic tricks most of the time if she was reincarnated in a cartoon world unless it was something really out there. Lol, can you see her reincarnated in Gravity Falls? 

Ooooh....that gives me so many ideas~. A story for later.

In any case, Fae has became free after her death - and while she does steal to help others, she also steals for fun, shits and giggles, and just to prove that she can. It's a mixed bag with her. Sometimes she returns what she stole too, especially if it is just to steal to prove that she can steal it.

Fae is a harmless flirt, a huge one that makes a lot of others flustered, and has a lot of charisma. She's also more than a little unique, lol. She crossdresses whenever she wants to - wearing masculine clothing and looking like a male -, doesn't care if anyone thinks she is male or female or any other gender, doesn't care about gender roles at all, is playful, and is pretty much in love with being Phantom Thief Rose. To her, being Rose is being free. And the reason she calls herself "He/Him" while talking about her other persona is because of others thinking that Rose is male, and for the fact she doesn't care if others think she is a male while dressed up as her other more illegal persona - just makes it more likely that no one will figure out who is behind the mask if they are looking for someone biologically male.

Fae, in this story, looks like Usagi obviously; blue eyes, pale skin, blond hair - but she has short hair. And when I say short, I mean short. The bangs are the same pretty much, but she doesn't have long hair. I guess you could say it's a pixie cut - or a haircut you'd usually see on a male. The reason she likes short hair so much is that it makes dressing up and masquerading as someone not herself - she loves playing dress up and confusing others, all apart of the show of course~ -, it also makes wearing wigs and such easier as well for her. It's also easier to take care of and doesn't get in her way.

I'll try to draw Fae!Usagi when I have the time - but I can't promise it will be good. But at least it will give everyone a visual of her here.

And because of how different Fae is, her family relationships are different as well because of how differently she treats them and how different she is in general. I mean, she loves family above all else - she became a Phantom Thief because of family. Where canon!Usagi believed in romantic love above else, Fae!Usagi believes in family love above all else. 

One big difference in family dramatics is that of Shingo - Usagi's little brother - and Fae!Usagi. While he tries not to show it so obviously, Shingo does deeply love his older sister and looks up to her, and Fae might as well have a brother complex of some kind because of how much she loves Shingo - she always wanted a little sibling to spoil and she got on in this life. After thinking about it, Fae might have made Shingo get a sister complex of some kind as well because of how much she spoils him, lol.

In any case, I hope everyone liked this new story! I am looking forward to Fae's adventures in this story, and in future stories as well!
