Her story
I was the first to have my powers awaken as Sailor V by Artemis when I was 13 years old. The other soldiers came a year later and that is when I became Sailor Venus. As Sailor V, I lived in England and fought crimes with a serious attitude. Now I am completely different. I am serious during battles, but afterward I take in life with a fun attitude. I was chosen leader of the scouts and my experience pays off. I make up my own attacks, and they work! My dream is to become an idol, and I work really hard to make it come true.

Personality
Minako is a hard worker when it comes to her dream. But when it is about school, she is constantly late for class and gets bad grades, along with Usagi. She is boy crazy and constantly messes up the proverbs she quotes, but she is a fun girl to be around. As Venus, her attacks fit well with the mythological belief. That extra year of experience really helps in battles.
