Sailor Moon S: Minako Aino

A small post on the Goddess of Love in Episode 100. To be perfectly honest, if Toei had adapt the short manga prequel called Codename: Sailor V, Minako would have been my very first anime crush instead of Serena/Usagi.

I had plenty of childhood memories and dreams on Minako and Usagi like both of them were hanging out with me at a park to sleeping in my room.

Sailor Moon: Minako Aino

She's the main protagonist in Codename: Sailor V and the present-day incarnation of Sailor Venus, she was one of the last Sailor Guardians to join in Usagi's group but first one to awaken her powers, even before Usagi did thanks to Artemis at age 13. Prior to Sailor Moon, she was fighting against the Dark Kingdom as Sailor V, during her time in London, she met a officer named Katarina who taught her English and acts as a big sister, and a young man called Alan, with whom she falls in love. After being presumed dead from an explosion, she returned to Japan once she recovered and found out that Katarina and Alan were in love with each other, believing it was the best for her to not get involved. She is quite friendly, romantic, resilient, and intelligent, not to mention, athletic. She also have a serious personality during her missions. As Sailor Venus, her powers are light-type and Photokinesis like the Crescent Compact, which she used to gain energy for her primary attack, Crescent Beam (a beam of light which strikes enemies), Venus Love-Me Chain (a chain wrapped around the waist), and Venus Wink Chain Sword (similar to Venus Love-Me Chain but stronger and with heart-shaped links).
