Appearance:

Minako is very similar to Usagi, as she is chosen to play a decoy to the Princess if it is ever required. She has long blonde hair that she puts up in a part ponytail, complete with a red bow, the rest hanging loose.  Her eyes are a beautiful blue which compliments her long blonde hair. She is pale, but also slim and fit as she loves to play sports. She may be short, standing at 5’2, but she is mighty. When Minako is not wearing her school uniform, she loves to wear the newest fashion for clothing, liking colourful clothing rather than muted colours, wanting to someday become a pop idol.

Personality:

Minako is incredibly energetic, as well as ditzy, adorable, hilarious and spunky. She is a big dreamer as she dreams one day of becoming a pop idol. She is always smiling and always trying to get others to smile as well. She is incredibly determined, almost stubborn at times and won’t let anyone get in her way when it’s something she really wants, whether it’s love or that last gyoza. Minako is the type to believe she is always right…even when she’s not. She takes her duty as the Senshi of Love and Beauty very seriously; especially the love part as she always tries to set people up, convinced they would be great from each other…even when they’re not. It comes from the goodness of her heart however and she means well. She is also a giant flirt.

Being into sports has allowed her to be very athletic, with high agility and flexibility, which helps her on the battlefield. When she is the leader of the Senshi, she takes this duty very seriously. She is always strategizing and trying to make sure that everyone makes it out alright and the enemy is defeated. She has an amazing ability to think on her feet and strategizes, an ability that rivals Sailor Mercury’s. She puts others before herself, always willing to be the sacrifice.

Minako tends to like to take on everything herself, not wanting others to be worried about what's going on. This can range from personal stuff going on in her life, to any threats towards the Senshi. She pretends that nothing is wrong, even when her entire world can be crumbling down around her. She tries to occupy her thoughts when things are bothering her so she doesn't have to think about what's wrong. She also tends to be more energetic than usual, which is a good indicator for her if something's wrong.  

She is incredibly close with her friends, loving each of them, but she seems to be closest to Rei, sharing a "need no man" bond between them. She will do anything to make them smile and o make sure that they find their love, their end all other romances, big romance of their life.



Any Unique Abilities/Skills:

She is incredibly good at sports, especially volleyball. She is also an amazing singer and dancer. As she is Sailor Venus, she can also see ties between Soul Mates.

History:

In the Silver Millenium, Minako Aino was Princess Venus, sworn protector of Princess Serenity and part of the inner senshi group that protected her. It has been said that she and Kunzite, a Shintennou of Prince Endymion fell in love and had a passionate romance. When it came to light that he had seemily betrayed her, Princess Venus swore that she would never love again. In the final attack upon the Moon Kingdom, Princess Venus died along with everyone else. She was reincarnated on modern Earth as Minako Aino.

At the tender age of 13, she was awoken by Artemis to become Sailor V, a year before the other Senshi were awoken. Her task was to find the Princess while making the bad guys think that she was the Princess. Video games, movies and mangas are made about her. She remained a very public figure in her search. She is eventually united with the rest of the inner senshi and took up the mantle of Sailor Venus. They became fast friends, and defeated many enemies together.

RP Sample:

“Noo, noo, nooo!” Minako cried as she watched Sailor V die on the screen. Sometimes it felt a little weird to be controlling herself in a video game, sometimes it felt awesome, but she always hated seeing herself die. “I was so close! Why did I have to die?” she moaned, looking dejectedly at the screen. She could hear Rei snickering at her in from the counter where she was drinking her tea. “I’d like to see you do any better!” she challenged, getting up from the seat and walking over to where her friends were. At least she console herself about her character dying with a chocolate milkshake!

Can you mention that Minako prefers bright colors in her clothes?

Could you expand her personality section a bit? Perhaps make a note about her friendship with the other girls and how Minako has a tendency to act like nothing is wrong when she has a lot of worries to carry, and that she tries to occupy her mind with other thoughts by acting even more energetic than usually at times like this.

Thank you!
