Personality:
Before she met the others Minako was pretty much like a normal girl, wanting to find her true love and like any other normal type of girl, if she liked someone she would write them a love letter which shows she can put her feelings out there if needed, even if it is in a form of a letter she keeps to herself. But it doesn't mean she would stop trying, she does have a determination when it comes to the subject of love, but after a situation had chosen to instead choose duty over love, but that doesn't mean she won't help others with there own love problems or continue to want a boyfriend, but never really getting there.

Like Usagi, Minako to begin with pretty much wasn't one to study, as her tests usually showed with twenty three percent in one test we know of. Instead of studying she is one to usually goof off and instead do things that she prefers such as volleyball or just exercising instead. This shows that the girl is really athletic and what she lacks in smarts she'll make up for with that.

As shown in one page of Codename Sailor V, Minako has shown to sometimes not do something ladylike, like for example climbing over walls and getting her clothes dirty which goes to show that she's not one to overly mind if her clothes get dirty as she is willing for them to get dirty if needs be. As Sailor Venus, she is pretty much the leader of the inner Sailor scout, minus Usagi who is the princess and the one they have sworn to protect at all costs and when we see her in the Sailor Moon manga, you can see that she has the leadership qualities one needs to be able to do it. Also while as Sailor Venus she can be more serious than she is usually and will always try and help out her friends if needs be.

Although she has her duty to the princess, Minako just like everyone else has a dream of what they want to be when they're older. In her case she wants to be an idol, much like all the other idols she had admired in the past. Overall Minako can at most appear to be that bright, bubbly and cheerful teenage girl, who can get overly excited about things such as boys or idols she admires very much, but underneath that is a serious, determined and mature person that comes through when she becomes Sailor Venus.

When she first discovered at the age of 13, Minako didn't really take to her duty as Sailor V very well, this could have been due to the fact that 1) It was rather sudden thing to happen and 2) She was a teenager whose more focused on love and relationships and basically things a normal girl would want to do. But towards the end and to the beginning of Sailor Moon, Minako had started to take it a little more seriously and over the time had gained experience to help her become a leader. This experience is a part of what helps her be a good leader, as she understands the situation more than the others and therefore knows what must be done, in order for things to work.

With Minako's love letters, she has only written one once, but during the time she really liked the guy and it was a good way to express the way she was feeling, without actually outright telling him. But, she could never deliver it to him, so while she can express some things like mentioning if a guy is cute in front of friends is one matter and a much easier one at that, actually telling the guy outright is a completely different matter and one that she is unable to do. Given the fact that her planet, Venus is one based on love, she is the type to help those who are having love problems and try and deal with it in the best way possible. Need love advice, Minako would more than likely try her best to give advice on the subject.

Minako does have her doubts, especially when it came to her wondering if she was a good enough leader and also due to having a life she does would she be able to actually make her dreams come true of becoming an idol. The doubts about her being a good enough leader have come into question during the Dead Moon arc when she was the last out of the Inner Senshi to be able to transform. It made her believe that she was a terrible leader because she couldn't transform unlike everyone else and didn't at the time realize why. Eventually though she managed to overcome that and transformed, but you never know when those doubts could be called into question again.

With her dream being to be a famous idol, it still clashes with her duty and this is another factor that Minako struggles with. She has shown to her duty and even at one point someone pointed out that she would always choose duty over love in the Sailor V manga, but Minako is the kind of girl who still wants to follow her dreams and having to give them up would be extremely hard for her to do. But even though she has dreams like the others, she does also love her friends very dearly and if given the choice, she wouldn't want to leave them to get hurt, but overall giving up a dream would be a tough decision.

Lastly the differences between Sailor Venus and Minako herself are made obvious when you see them. Minako for starters as a civilian takes on a much more teenager girl approach and shows that she can be bubbly in that really happy go lucky way, she's a happy girl and with friends she is freely able to discuss things like boys, dreams the usual things that girls their age would usually do. This side she cannot exactly have when she is Sailor Venus, this could be due to the fact that in a situation that Sailor Venus is needed, being as bubbly as she is would pretty much be uncalled for, given it would always be a serious situation.

As Sailor Venus, she has to keep a more serious personality, she wants to get things done and wants to protect those she cares about, which wouldn't be as good if she would keep her bubbly personality when she is a civilian. When someone is put under as much strain as they had been time and time again, a serious and strong leader is one that is needed, rather than someone whose head could be in the clouds at any given moment. It's a part of what makes her a strong leader, to keep a calm sense of self, even in the tough times, which is something also different between the two. With both of these an actual part of her personality, they each in a sense balance each other out.


Camp Information
Parent: Aphrodite

There is one major reason for this and that's simply put, Minako is the soldier of love and beauty, which is basically what Aphrodite represents. Plus, adding to that Minako is the type of girl that always looks for love herself. Sure, she can never get it due to unfortunate circumstances and being told it will never happen, but she never let that put her off. Love is a major part of her character.

Even though she really doesn't have the other areas that might work,it's still something.

Skills:
- Adjusting one's appearance at will (Given she had a compact in canon this seemed like the best idea)
- Beauty
- Power over love and attraction

Sample from another game
Third Person/Log Sample:
Minako leaned against the bunk, her eyes still looking upon the ceiling as she did. This wasn't something she was overly expecting and the thought of going to something like this was far from her mind. She just wanted to be at home, fast asleep in bed and surrounded by people she loved or cared about, but no. Instead she was here, far away from home, from Japan, from her friends.

She soon focused on another part of the bunk, letting out a light laugh as she did. Thinking things over, she thought by now she might of been use to things like this, but never the less this new information she had been told really did shake her for a loop. She had been told things that people would have found strange, like the fact she originally lived on the moon, so having been told that she had taken it well. At least in her mind she had and it made sense in some ways.

She was Sailor Venus, guardian of love and beauty. It would make perfect sense if she was connected to the goddess of the exact same thing. With that in mind Minako soon looked over to the door, it was still early, but she knew full well that she was meant to be outside by now. Sighing she started to mutter as she stood up. "It's too early, I just want to go back to bed." She was sure once she started, especially if it meant doing things like athletics then she knew she would get back to her peppy self soon enough, but for now she knew that she would rather stay in bed, but she knew that if she tried those creepy horse guys might come and drag her out of bed and she really didn't want that.

"I shall do my best today." She said waking up a little bit before finally making her way out of the door, ready for the days work.
