Mina/Sailor Venus
Mina/Sailor Venus



Known as Aino Minako, Mina is the shorten, or North American, version of the Japanese first name. One of the last Inner Senshi to be found, Mina is a lot like Serena in many respects.

Like Serena, Mina was on her own as a Scout under the watchful of a talking cat (Artemis, in Mina's case). Also, Mina is usually late, talkative, and not a great student. Plus, Mina loves shopping, clothes, and guys.

Mina is a little more graceful than Serena. She was a movie star, Sailor V, and is great at volleyball. She adds a lighter air to the group.


Before joining the rest of the Inner Senshi in Japan, under the watchful eye of Artemis,Sailor Venus was a movie star/crime fighter known as Sailor V.

When she encountered the other Scouts, Mina took her rightful as Sailor Venus, the Senshi of Love. As an opponent, Sailor Venus is a worthy adversary with her powerful attacks, such as her Cresent Beam and Love Chain.

As a member of the group, Sailor Venus is very loyal and is willing to defend the group, the innocents, and the princess with her life if necessary. In Jupiter's Gone, Mina is married and has a daughter named Angeline, who becomes Sailor Eros.
