So what's your characters birthday? Do they have a canon birthday? If not, did you pick one or if you were going to pick one, what would it be? Why would you pick that day? What zodiac sign would that make them? Does that fit them?

For Samus I would pick August 6th, because that was the release date of the original Metroid game. This would make Samus a Leo which apparently are "uled by the heart and operates from this dimension too. Leo's are born fortunate. Charismatic and positive-thinking they attract not only an abundance of friends and opportunities, but manage to survive life's stormy times with style and good humour."

...yeah. Not Samus.

For Mei Ling I would pick December 29th because this is the day the radio was patented. This would make her a Capricorn. It fits her pretty well, as Capricorns are "never content until reaching the top" and are "patient and persevering. They reach their goals because they know the longest journey commences with a single step and that the first step is always the most difficult." She's a little more happy-go-lucky than this though.

So anyway, your turn now.

My characters both have canon birthdays (though the 'canon' of Billy's is questionable as it was in a supplemental material that was contradicted in parts by later ones). Oddly enough, they're near polar opposites personality-wise but both have the same zodiac sign as me, Aries.

Billy Cranston : April 1st
That's right, according to a Mighty Morphin interactive CD that was distributed in cereal boxes, the first Blue Ranger was born on April Fools' Day, making him an Aries. I guess the writers were going for a joke feel, because Billy was often the butt of jokes and pranks before he learned how to fight? Or maybe it's a 'joke' because he was usually the most serious Ranger.

He definitely has the 'stubborn ram' aspect of an Aries, as shown by his fixation on making the best inventions ever and the pride he develops once he becomes confident and capable. There's a certain passion to his work too, which I guess could be considered an Aries quality.

Rei Hino : April 17th
Naoko Takeuchi deliberately picked the birthdays of all the Sailor Senshi to match the Zodiac signs with their powers and personalities. The planet and element of Aries, Mars and fire, match Rei perfectly.

Personality-wise, she's much closer to the traditional Aries type than Billy. Impulsive, stubborn, short-tempered, but also passionate and courageous. She will burn if you piss her off and get too close, but that often translates to an unbreakable loyalty to her friends.
