CHARACTER INFORMATIONSERIES: Sailor Moon. (mangaverse)
NAME: Minako Aino.
RACE: Human.
AGE: 16.
CANON POINT: Post Stars arc.
REFERENCES: here.
GENDER: Female.
APPEARANCE: Minako is about average height for a girl her age - a Japanese girl, that is, so it can't be said she's terribly tall. With her long blonde hair, reaching until below the waist, and bright blue eyes she looks very similar to Usagi. (As to be expected of the princess' body double.) Her bangs, unlike Usagi's, cover her entire forehead though, and she always wears her hair loose rather than done up into buns and pigtails like Usagi's. She's never seen without a big bright red ribbon on the back of her head: it's a memento of sorts to the first guy she had a crush on, even though he turned out to be a diguised monster in the end. Even though Minako tends to brag about looks so much (claiming to be 'the goddess of love and beauty') there is some merit to it. Minako definitely isn't ugly, and her natural radiance and bright personality only add to her natural charm.
She is also fairly fashionable. When she isn't seen in her regular blue Japanese school uniform in the series or in her bright yellow/orange sailor senshi suit, she's seen in a variety of other outfits. Minako spends a lot of time on the way she looks and puts a lot of thought into it as well, and it does show. She has a reputation to keep up as 'the goddess of love and beauty', after all.
PERSONALITY & HOUSE REQUESTS: Minako is a person who has two entirely different sides to her and can, at times, switch between the two as if it's nothing. The first side and the side that people see or notice more easily is the hyper ditz inside her. Whenever Minako is somewhere it's pretty noticable for everyone that she's present: she talks, rambles, has way over the top melodramatic reactions, fangirls over cute boys and true love and sometimes even overrules every other opinion with her own. Especially the boys are a big part of this, there's barely a time where she isn't talking about, thinking of or fangirling over boys. Minako's a very romantic person - the self-proclaimed 'goddess of love' - and always in search of her first love, even though she has already liked dozens of boys before that 'first love'. It goes up to a point where you might even just call her a hopeless romantic. Sometimes it may seem like she has no sense of morality (sneaking into another school, which may or may not be the actual enemy base, just to see a concert without paying seems a-okay to her) but her heart really is in the right place. In fact, she often actually stands up for rights for girls when she fights the monsters in the series. The main problem is just that she seems to lose her mind easily once she gets fired up; once Minako has a goal in mind it'll take a great deal to stop her. Crossing moral borders (like sneaking into concerns without paying as described above) isn't a problem either in that case, although she would definitely hesitate at offenses bigger than that. Minako would never hurt someone in her full mind.
But she isn't just a boy-crazy hyper machine. Even though it's hard to tell at times Minako has matured a great deal on her own, because she spent quite a while fighting on her own by now and even experienced deeply falling in love and accepting that that love isn't always meant to be. This maturity often goes hidden behind her ditzy appearance, but once she needs to get down to business Minako really takes things seriously and tries her best. She's is the leader of the four senshi who protect the princess and she takes this job very seriously. You can definitely notice whenever she gets more serious and goes into some sort of leader mode - she is actually a pretty good leader when it comes down to it. She refuses to leave people of a group behind when there's still a chance to save everyone (as demonstrated in the anime when she walked back to save Sailor Pluto at the beginning of Stars) but also knows to be realistic when that's not possible (as shown near the end of the first arc of the manga; she knows that the only way left for them to help their princess is by sacrificing their own lives). She's kind and deeply loyal to the people she cares about and would give anything for them - including her life.
But as confident as she seems while in her ditz mode, Minako actually has a great deal of insecurities. In fact, most of the time when there's an episode or manga arc centered about her it's about her being insecure about something-- her power, her leadership ability, her duty as a senshi conflicting with her dreams. She just doesn't show it openly most of the time and when she does she only shares it with the people closest to her - preferably Artemis, since she often even tries to hide it from the other senshi, perhaps to not show her weakness since she's supposed to be the leader. Minako is a person who is very passionate about her dreams and that's why she often gets into conflict about exactly which one of her dreams she should persue; often it's a choice between her duty as a senshi and one of her other dreams, like getting a boyfriend or becoming an idol. Outwardly Minako will not easily show this doubt and instead attempt to heavily persue both, but inwardly she always has trouble with that sort of thing. Her whole duty as a leader is often a big cause of worry for her as well, since she constantly worries about not being good enough as a leader. This is mainly demonstrated in the Dreams arc of the manga, in which everyone was able to reach their powered up forms but her and she can't help but doubt her own capabilities to herself. She can even worry about the things she usually seems most confident about, like her looks or her personality or even her ability to attract boys. In one of the bonus manga chapters - Rei and Minako's School Battle - she keeps comparing herself to Rei, who is hailed by all as a dignified and beautiful girl, and next to her Minako seems much more childish, clumsy, unrefined and ditzy. Eventually when Rei tells her that she's so dirty (after Minako managed to get herself all dirty through a clumsy action), Minako snaps and yells "Unlike you, I guess I'm.. just a scummy girl!"
Minako tends to get low grades at school, not exactly because she's very dumb but most likely because she just thinks she has better things (boy chasing, karaoke, etc.) to do than studying. She isn't a very lazy person in general, considering she does spend the time ignoring homework by doing many activities, but when it comes down to things she doesn't want to do or doesn't like, like homework, she turns into a complete bum. She and Usagi often end up being make-up test or detention partners at school. She also has a habit of screwing up proverbs constantly ("beggers will be choosers!") to add to her ditzy image. Minako loves physical activities, especially sports, though; she's is very athletic (an aftereffect of her career as Sailor V, but also partially naturally) and especially loves volleyball, which she is pretty good at. In some ways she could be seen as a very girly-girl though, especially when it comes down to her looks and boys.
My first choice for a house for Minako would be Gryffindor, and my second choice Hufflepuff. I'm not entirely dead-set on my first choice for her, so if she really needs to be moved to Hufflepuff I can live with that. Minako would be suited for Gryffindor, since while there can be said a lot of things about Minako's weaknesses, she is definitely not a coward. In fact, Minako is usually the first to dash forward and do something, especially when it comes down to protecting Usagi. Unlike all the other sailor senshi, she has even fought on her own as Sailor V for a long time, but she never seemed to have any gripes about that fact. She's brave enough to be able to take on any monsters in canon without even doubting or seeming scared (maybe she was a little nervous in the beginning, but even then she was nowhere close to how scared Usagi was when she had to start fighting on her own as Sailor Moon). Even when there are enemies much stronger than her (like Beryl), she nonetheless rushes at them with a sword without hesitation all the same. When Makoto is brainwashed by the enemy, Minako is the first to jump in and kick the girl away from Usagi and the Silver Crystal. Minako is incredibly brave.
But for what reason she's so brave is where the choice for her second house kicks in. Minako is incredibly loyal to her friends. She would never (intentionally, since through her clumsiness and ditziness she managed to do it accidentally from time to time) willingly hurt a friend, and once you have Minako on your side you have an ally for life. Her loyalty for Usagi runs so deep that she would give her own life for the other girl's without any second thoughts. The downside of Hufflepuff as her house (and hence why it's the second choice) is that Minako is not patient or a hard worker. She can be, when she gets serious about things (like sailor senshi business), but as long as she's in her usual ditzy mode, she's not very patient nor a hard worker, considering how much she slacks off on her homework. But like I said, I'm not completely dead-set on her having to be sorted into Gryffindor.
COMMUTER DETAILS: Not joining Voldemort / the Death Eaters.
POSITION: Student.
ABILITIES & POWERS: Aside from being fairly fit and good athletically (perhaps the most so out of all the five inner senshi, she's shown to be very agile and good at sports) from her time as Sailor V and then continued as Sailor Venus, Minako also has special powers as Sailor Venus. She gains her power from the planet Venus, and this already gives away what most of her powers are about. The planet is named after the Roman goddess of love, after all, so most of Minako's attacks are love- or light-based. When she transforms into Sailor Venus she is able to perform these attacks. To give a few examples - 'Crescent Beam', in which she shoots a beam of light at the enemy, would be a light-based attack and 'Rolling Heart Vibration' would be an example of a love-based attack, in which she fires some sort of heart-like energy blast at the enemy. She's shown to be able to fight with either a sword (as the leader of the sailor senshi who protect the princess) or a whip in this form as well.
While I don't think her powers would exactly translate in being good in one specific subject and bad in another (although I can see her being fairly good at slightly more action-oriented subjects like Charms or Defense Against the Dark Arts in comparision to, for example, History of Magic in which she would completely and utterly fail due to lack of an attention span), I think it might mean that she has a natural talent for love-based magic. For example, love potions might be easier for her to make than it would be for other students, and the same counts for spells based on love or affection. In exchange it would be harder for her to use any 'dark' kind of magic, since light and love are practically the opposite of that.
WAND: The wood of Minako's wand is cedar - described to be belonging to wizards with 'strength of character and unusual loyalty'. As described above, Minako's loyalty is astounding, and while she has a lot of insecurities, when it comes down to having to fight for the people she cares about she can suddenly display a great deal of strength. "The witch or wizard who is well-matched with cedar carries the potential to be a frightening adversary, which often comes as a shock to those who have thoughtlessly challenged them." That definitely suits Minako. While she might seem very harmless usually, and even like she would be easy to beat due to her ditziness, she can make an 180 when she has to fight and suddenly be a formidable opponent. I'd like for the core of Minako's wand to be her Sailor Crystal, the Sailor Crystal of the planet Venus which is connected to both Minako and the planet Venus itself. It's where all her powers originate from, and it's what would give her such a natural ability for charms and potions dealing with love because of the love-related powers originating from it. Her wand is fairly on the long size - about 13 inches. Taller wands are described as to being drawn to 'bigger personalities, and those of a more spacious and dramatic style of magic'. If there's anything about the side of her that Minako naturally displays, it's that she's a fairly 'big' and present personality, and that she tends to be overly dramatic; something that would surely leak over into her style of casting magic too. It's also said that shorter wands are drawn to people who are lacking something, but Minako is lacking relatively little - the only thing she could use is a little more self confidence when she starts worrying about things. So I think a fairly big wand would be suited better for her. Minako's wand is fairly flexible, related to her own ability to quickly adapt to any situation and never keep hanging back in what has happened before.

[ There's something giddy about Minako's grin as she turns on the feed - and there's something conspiratory in her expression as she leans closed towards the commuter, as if whispering to the thing will clearly make her message more private in any way. It's probably mostly just her being overly dramatic again. ]
Hey, hey! Listen up, this is very important! It would be unfair for the goddess of love to rank or judge boys on her own, so of course Aino Minako-sama here needs the help of the other girls here in this school! Being pulled into this place is an once-in-a-lifetime chance, so we have to make sure to make the most out of it and enjoy the boys from various places we'd normally never ever meet in our lives. Let's keep thinking postively!
[ She winks encouragingly before continuing. ]
Either way.. Let's hear it! Who are the cutest guys in this school, huh, huh? As for me.. [ Minako giggles to herself, like some overly giddy kind of school girl who found her first crush. ] Well, don't tell it to anyone else, but I think the Seeker of Hufflepuff's Quidditch team is an absolute cutie! He can 'seek' me all year long, if you know what I mean! [ There's another laugh, but this time it's more louder, almost down to a true 'ohohoho' fashion. ]
Aside from that.. Well, only people in my year would know, but that brown-haired guy who always sits in the back during Potions class? Doesn't he seem like the perfect tall, dark and handsome type? Ah, if only I had the courage to ask him his name.. [ well, obviously she has the courage to do so, but maybe this seems more 'romantic' to her.. ] Isn't a girl's very first love so exciting?
[ There's a pause then though, as someone off-screen seems to mention something. And when Minako looks back to the device, her expression is clearly much more shocked. ]
W.. what do you mean, this wasn't filtered to just the girls?! [ For once there's actually something embarassed in her expression, her cheeks coloring just slightly. ]
THIRD PERSON:
She was going to study, really. Even if Minako was going outside on this beautiful near-summer day like almost every other student to go sit by the side of the lake and bask in the warm sun, she had genuinely told herself that she was still going to study, even if it was outside this time. Pretty important tests were coming up, after all, and she couldn't afford any more bad grades, so this time she had promised herself to study well and long. The girl had even taken along her History of Magic book to the lake with the intention of reading at least a few chapters from it.
But.. ah, studying suddenly seemed like such a hard and ridiculous thing to do when you would be sitting on the grass next to the lake, with the warm sun tintling on your skin.. And so Minako easily forgot all about her earlier promise to herself - and even if she did remember, she just shoved it to the back of her mind with the thought of doing it sometime later, she had plenty of time, surely it would be fine - and instead found herself lying back on the grass, as if she were just sunbathing. The book was idly discarded to her side, lying open on the grass on a page talking about goblin rebellions. "Those rebellions can wait for a while, surely.." Minako lazily talked to herself as she stretched while lying on the grass, almost looking like some sort of cat. The laziness was the same, either way.
But even with as relaxed as she was now, lying there on the grass, there were still plenty of things worrying her in the back of her mind. Sure, this place - and school - wasn't all that bad, but the state in which she had left her world behind.. Now Galaxia was defeated, there should finally be some time of peace, right? Or could it be that now she was stuck here, everyone else was fighting back home without her? Was she foresaking her duty without even meaning to do so?
'Or maybe they'll finally realise they don't actually need you', a voice in the back of her head whispered to her, and she knew it was the voice of her own insecurity. It was probably the reason why she shook her head a little to herself, trying to ignore it. She had learned better than that by now, or at least, that was what she liked to believe.
Her hand fretted idly with one of the pieces of grass next to her head, but she decided to put all of it out of her mind. Insecurities, studying, let's just say goodbye to it all! Focussing on what was happening right now was much more important than sulking about the insecurities of the past or the tests of the future.
And so, when Minako sat up again only to discover a rather cute-looking guy sitting in the grass nearby with a book as well, she quickly shoved over to him with a tiny grin on her face and the book in her hand held out like some sort of excuse. "Hey, hey, of course you wouldn't mind helping a cute girl out with studying, right? You see, about these goblin rebellions.."

The girl had even taken along her History of Magic book to the lake with the intention of reading at least a few chapters from it.
But.. ah, studying suddenly seemed like such a hard and ridiculous thing to do when you would be sitting on the grass next to the lake, with the warm sun tintling on your skin.. And so Minako easily forgot all about her earlier promise to herself - and even if she did remember, she just shoved it to the back of her mind with the thought of doing it sometime later, she had plenty of time, surely it would be fine - and instead found herself lying back on the grass, as if she were just sunbathing. The book was idly discarded to her side, lying open on the grass on a page talking about goblin rebellions. "Those rebellions can wait for a while, surely.." Minako lazily talked to herself as she stretched while lying on the grass, almost looking like some sort of cat. The laziness was the same, either way.
But even with as relaxed as she was now, lying there on the grass, there were still plenty of things worrying her in the back of her mind. Sure, this place - and school - wasn't all that bad, but the state in which she had left her world behind.. Now Galaxia was defeated, there should finally be some time of peace, right? Or could it be that now she was stuck here, everyone else was fighting back home without her? Was she foresaking her duty without even meaning to do so?
'Or maybe they'll finally realise they don't actually need you', a voice in the back of her head whispered to her, and she knew it was the voice of her own insecurity. It was probably the reason why she shook her head a little to herself, trying to ignore it. She had learned better than that by now, or at least, that was what she liked to believe.
Her hand fretted idly with one of the pieces of grass next to her head, but she decided to put all of it out of her mind. Insecurities, studying, let's just say goodbye to it all! Focussing on what was happening right now was much more important than sulking about the insecurities of the past or the tests of the future.
And so, when Minako sat up again only to discover a rather cute-looking guy sitting in the grass nearby with a book as well, she quickly shoved over to him with a tiny grin on her face and the book in her hand held out like some sort of excuse. "Hey, hey, of course you wouldn't mind helping a cute girl out with studying, right? You see, about these goblin rebellions.."
