Personality:
When we first meet Minako in the Sailor V manga, Minako is shown to be someone on the athletic side, even going as far as to attempt a tricky move on the bars on the first page of the manga. She was shown to have the confidence to even attempt such a trick, even if it meant she got told off for it because that wasn't what the lesson was about that day. However, her academic side is much to be desired. She is one who doesn't study and prefers to do other things instead such as volleyball, gaming, food, chasing after idols, or evening during early canon hoping to find a boyfriend.

While Minako is Sailor Venus and the soldier of love and beauty, Minako herself was never one to openly admit how she felt about someone right off the bat. Choosing to write letters for her very first love (one of many that she declares as such later) in the first chapter or going as far as to do her best to help them out in the best way possible, even if it ends up with them with someone else, which happened quite often. Even when it happens, she is pretty quick to get over it and move on to the next one.

Minako is not one to do things in the most ladylike manner and comes across more like a tomboy in the way she speaks and acts, going as far as to for example be willing to jump over walls and get her clothes dirty if it means she can get to a place much quicker. This is the exact opposite of what one might think about if one mentions Venus. However, Minako is always quick to react to those who mention that she isn't at all feminine making her seem insecure about this fact even going as far as to ask herself if she could make herself prettier after asking if a rather feminine looking girl was a crushes type and even going as far as to wear a red ribbon after he suggested it.

While she has these sides of herself as Minako, she is also very much like other girls. Cheerful for one, getting excited over things she loves with others, a girl who seems to find it easy to talk to strangers even though she probably doesn't know them very well such as when she met someone who created the manga she loved, she had no clue it was them at the time and easily befriended them, and a girl who for the most part really hasn't cried a lot. Overall she just can come across as a normal teenager.

As Sailor Venus, she is pretty much the leader of the inner Sailor scouts, minus Usagi who is the princess and the one they have sworn to protect at all costs. When we see her in the Sailor Moon manga, you can see that she has the leadership qualities one needs to be able to do it. Before that, she had never really taken the job at all seriously when she was just known as Sailor V which in part could be because she was just 13 at the time and because as a teenager she had in her mind priorities of boys and other things. But with the experience and certain situations that occurred, she had slowly learned how to be a leader over time and has a better understanding of the situation and choose to accept what she had to do and what she has to give up in order to fulfill that.

That is another part about Minako, how she is willing to give up the dreams or even her life if it is to protect Usagi. An event with Phantom Ace or Adonis as he was known in their previous life has told her that Usagi or her duty will always be the thing that she picks over anything else and it is something that Minako herself has stated with the line 'I've long had someone. My one and only, to whom I have devoted my life.'

Minako does have her doubts, especially when it comes to her wondering if she was a good enough leader and her worries about people finding out at the time that she couldn't transform while the rest of them were easily able to. It was something that she didn't want to be open or honest about due to her position. Due to her duties as a Sailor Guardian, she has her worries about if she would be able to make her dreams of becoming an idol a reality, but this for the most part does get put to the side often as mentioned above she will just always put Usagi first and forgo any desires should it be needed.

Overall Minako has two sides to herself: Minako - The carefree, hyperactive, slightly insecure sometimes, tomboyish girl who falls in love at the drop of a hat and that never really lasts for very long before she is on to the next one and has dreams of being an idol and then you have Venus - Serious, confident and ready to risk her life at the drop of a hat no questions asked. Two completely different sides all forming one girl.

Abilities/Powers/Weaknesses & Warping:
Venus Crystal Power, Make Up - This is the phase used by Minako to be able to transform into Sailor Venus. The crystal in question is essentially a part of her and is what she uses in order to transform. If anyone was able to get their hands on it she would essentially die much like the others.

As Sailor Venus she herself is able to use a few attacks which are as follows:

Venus Love Me Chain - This attack is a simple one that uses the belt she wears as Sailor Venus to attack the enemy. With this attack, she uses for pretty much like one would a sword. She can also use it to grab someone if, for example, they are trying to get away.

Rolling Heart Vibration - This attack that she uses sends out an attack from her hands, usually this attack is heart-shaped towards the enemy.

Venus Love and Beauty Shock - With this attack, Minako's Love Chain gained a new ability that when used will unleash a powerful blast of energy when she holds the chain out in front of her.

Sailor Planet Attack - With all the other Sailor Senshi they are together able to perform an attack against someone using the powers of their respective planet together.

Compact - This item has been used a lot during Codename Sailor V and at least once in Sailor Moon. With this compact Minako in Salior V used it to fire an attack known as Crescent Beam and another known as Love Crescent Shower. It was also used to be able to give her a disguise whenever she asked for it. Although it wasn't shown in the Sailor Moon manga until one scene later on, but it shows that she still carries it on her person.

Athletic:
Given her sporty side to herself and the fact she's had some form of training from video games, Minako is physically capable to cause even if it is a little bit of damage to her enemy. It also makes her a little bit more flexible when it comes down to it as well.

Healing:
Much like the others, Minako's healing seems to be a little bit fast than that of a normal person as when she gets hurt they seem to be better not too long afterward.

Glamor:
Much like the others when Minako is Sailor venus and vice versa people are unable to tell one from the other even if you manage to put a picture of the two together. The only exception of this is if she is caught just before or after a transformation and if leaving the area where Venus was or of course those who can see through things like that.

Warping:
For being able to warp Minako's abilities is one way is her healing abilities to take a lot longer than it would normally. If a bone were to break then it would take twice as long than it perhaps would normally.

Another way to warp Minako's abilities is in her transformation itself. I would like for Minako to have a hard time being able to even transform and if she tries it will require a lot of energy in order to do so. If she has to use it multiple times in a short amount of time then the required energy it will use increases and so will drain her much faster.

If you think I could do more, I will be happy to do exactly that.

Inventory:
- Compact
- Venus Crystal. Not sure if this counts but I will add it.
- High School Girls uniform with her red ribbon
- An idol CD
- A volume of manga
- A CD Player (Think something like this
