General Information
Name: Minako Aino 愛野 美奈子
Gender: Female
Birthday: October 22, 1991
Age: 21Birthplace: Tokyo, Japan
Physical Description (include clothing generally worn): Minako is about 5' 7 " tall. She has deep blue eyes, pretty pale, silk like skin and blonde, straight, mid-back length hair with thick bangs parting in the middle of her forehead. She usually keeps her hair free or ties a big, red ribbon on the back side and in parties she keeps her hair in a loose bun, thin, long hair flowing freely in front of her ears creating a stylish look. She has never dyed her hair because she likes her own hair color. She has a slim body and very tiny waist partly because she likes to swim a lot.
She usually wears a light blue or violet trench coat and her wardrobe includes dresses, skirts, tunics and blouses, but only one pair of trousers which she only wears when she’s at the gym. She almost always wears a belt or a tied blouse on her clothes which accentuates her slim waist. She has one pair of ear piercings and she likes to wear light, hanging earrings. She also likes to wear a tiny, silver necklace and silver bracelet. Her shoes are usually small heeled sandals or ankle boots. She has a feminine appearance yet she's as far from snobbish as you can be.(Although many people think that she is a snob)The only make-up she wears is mascara and light-colored lip gloss.
Personality: Minako is a kind and sweet person who thinks of other people and tries to help them. She loves to draw and swim when she can relax and have some time for herself. She especially loves to draw animals and nature since she loves them deeply. She also loves to draw portraits. She’s calm and doesn’t get angry often, but if someone is able to irritate her enough, she becomes aggressive and even a little bit scary. She is a great team-player and leader even though she has not been able to show her abilities often because of her loneliness. She’s very good at school and enjoys all subjects, especially those which are related to art and music. People either admire and respect or hate her because of her abilities and look; there’s always envy people, as well.
Minako is afraid of telling other people of her true, real feelings because she fears that they could use them against her. She doesn’t want to be hurt anymore. (I’ll tell more on the history description). If Minako had good friends, she’d give her life for them. Even though she has been alone almost her whole life, her biggest dream is to have friends whom she could tell everything about herself and that is one reason why she doesn’t care much for men. For her, friends are the most important.
Minako loves to play the piano and plays it like a real pro and her real personality comes forth when she sinks into the music: The person who dreams of having real friends who she could truly rely on. She wants to know the meaning of her life, her real mission, which she’s supposed to accomplish. She's a very determined person who once deciding to do something goes 100% in it.
Any Unique Abilities/Skills: Minako plays the piano just a like a professional even though she hasn’t had a proper pianist’s education, and her swimming abilities
are amazing, as well. She has studied many languages very passionately and can speak Korean, English and French without any difficulties.
She senses other people’s feelings of love and warmth very easily which means that she senses if people are in love with each other or if they have a crush on someone.
She also senses other Sailor Senshi's presence and powers easily.History: Minako had a pretty happy childhood before one tragic day. Everything changed when her mother died in a car accident when she was still an eight-year old girl. They were returning from their mother‘s day picnic when a truck driver lost his control of the truck and crashed straight to their car. Minako’s mother got very serious internal bleeding and died of it later in the hospital, when Minako was with her, praying that she wouldn’t leave her. Her father was at a business conference the whole time they were on the picnic and he didn’t get to the hospital when her wife was still alive. He blamed Minako of the death of his wife because Minako was the one whose idea was to go to a picnic every mother’s day.
Minako has never gotten fully over the blame of her father, although she knows that what her father blamed her about is not true. She was extremely hurt by the words of his. She was very close with her mother, and thinking about her always makes her very sad. When her mother died, she just cried for many months. Minako’s father decided to move in Germany because of his career and left Minako in Japan. He pays her rents and bills, but doesn’t really keep any other contact with her.
In High School, Minako told her best classmate of her mother and father when she asked Minako about them. Minako told her about the accident and how she felt after it because she hadn’t told anyone how she felt before. She thought that she could trust her friend but noticed that telling her was one of the biggest mistakes of her life. Soon, rumors started to spread all over the campus. Her ‘friend’ had told other students that Minako might have killed her mother on purpose and that she was surely an unwanted child because her father left her own. When hearing the rumors, Minako couldn’t help it but just to cry and beg people to stop it. The rumors about her mother were much painful for to bear than the rumors of herself, because her mother was the most important person in the world for her. She decided to move back to Tokyo where she was born when she would finish her High School studies.
Nowadays, she’s in College. She has picked many art related subjects to study and she lives in a big apartment building. When she has some time left from studies she usually plays her piano at home. Another way how she spends her time after school is drawing at a café, drinking coffee and just forgetting all stress and rush. At nights, Minako often sits on her little balcony and watch the starry sky when listening to the nightly voices of nature. Her life is pretty simple and based on her routines of going to the campus and spending her days alone, doing arts. Like said before, she doesn’t have friends who to be with, not even in the College
Even before the rumors spread, Minako was unpopular among the students. They thought that she was definitely acting like a ‘better’ person than what they are, although this is as far from the reality as it can be. Her dressing style also got a lot of attention because she was dressing more mature like than the others of her age.

RP Sample:This was it, the day when she would finally graduate from High School and leave the hell behind her back. This was the moment she had dreamed of. Finally, she could forget all the rumors and devilish people of this school. She had learned from her mistake and this day on, she would never tell anything personal to anyone who she couldn’t trust 100% surely but she wasn’t sure if she could ever trust on anyone like that anymore.
The wind blew her long, blonde hair when she walked towards the main gate of her school. “This is the last time I walk from this gate”, she thought. Amazingly, even when the rumors had made her sad and miserable, she had been able to focus on her studies and her school grades were excellent. She felt that someone was staring at her and turned to look who it was. Her classmates’ gazes went through her when they passed her without saying even one word to her.
She looked when they walked away from the High School’s yard and closed her eyes gently to feel the wind blowing. It felt as if she was flying on the blue sky. Opening her eyes, she put her certificate in her hand back and closed it. She stood in front of the gates for a while, memorizing the graduating ceremony. All she could remember was when she opened her certificate and saw the grades, she was overwhelmed with joy. With those grades, she would be able to go any School she just wanted. “Mom, please… tell me why I was born into this world…” she thought in her mind.
Someone put her palm on Minako’s shoulder:
“Miss Akano…” Minako said when her music teacher greeted her.
“Hello, Minako-chan” she said smiling. “You’re leaving now, aren’t you?”
“Yes”, she nodded. Miss Akano was the only one who had been nice to her in this High School. She wasn’t only teacher, but more like a relative to her.
“I wish you all the best in the future; you certainly were the best student of mine”, she wished warmly.
“I wish you the same”, Minako answered, smiling a little bit.
“May I ask what kind of plans do you have for the future?” Akano asked.
Minako lowered her chin, turning away from Miss Akano and smiling with closed eyes. For a short moment, she was quiet, and then flipped around looking at her former teacher:
“I’ve made my decision”, she said determinedly. “I’ll move back to Tokyo”.
