As you walk down the streets of
Tokyo, you notice that a girl in yellow is walking towards you. You watch her, enchanted
by her long golden hair, her sparkling blue eyes, and her infectous smile. But even
though you see her, she doesn't notice you and promptly runs into you. With a warm
smile, she apologizes and helps you up. She goes on her way leaving you intrigued.
Who is she?
This is Minako Aino,
recently returned from England. She speaks both English and Japanese fluently. Many
people could tell you that she was a marvelous volleyball player, inventing and perfecting
her own moves before she abrubtly gave it up without explanation. But few could tell
you that she is Sailor Venus, one of the five inner senshi.
But Minako has been
fighting longer than any of the other senshi. In London, she was the notorious crime
fighter, Sailor V. Artemis, her gaurdian cat, found her and trained her long before
Luna found Sailor Moon. Because of this, she is leader of the inner senshi. She is
stern and practical in battle, a stark contrast to her giggling exterior.
Ironicly, the senshi
of love remains single. When she was living in London, she fell in love with a young
man named Alan, but lost him to her best friend Katarina. Ever since then, she's
been a boy crazy, guy tracker downer who seldom gets anywhere in love. In civilian
form, she's often as ditzy as Usagi. But when battle comes, she is a somber leader.
