She is Aino Minako, or Child of Beauty and Love,
the most cheerful girl out of all the other senshi. Many would also consider her to be the craziest and strangest. Minako is
actually the very first sailor senshi in of all them. She once
lived in London and instead of fighting youmas, she used to
fight crime using the alias of Sailor V. When she is first
introduced, she is only thirteen years old. This was when
Artemis came to her and told her about her destiny.
When she first appeared in Sailor Moon, the senshi were in trouble and Sailor Venus appears and
blasts the enemy away. The next day, Minako appears to
the rest of the senshi as her human form during a meeting in the
Hikawa Jinja.
As Minako, she is a friendly, warm athletic girl whose birthday is on October 22 and she is a Libra. Her bloodtype is B and
her favorite colors are orange, yellow, red and white. Her
hobbies include idol chasing (since she is Usagi's idol) and
playing sports. Her favorite foods are Ramen, Curry rice and
gyouza. Her least favorite food is Shiitake mushroom. Her
favorite subject in school is Physical Education and she dislikes
the rest of her school subjects. Minako is very talented at
making friends, much like Usagi, leadership and in courage.
As a senshi, Venus plays a very important role to the history of
Sailor Moon. As I have said, she was once the lone sailor
soldier, Sailor V. The reason for her becoming Sailor V was made
clear to her by her white cat, Artemis, the only other cat that
belongs to another inner senshi. As I understand it, Sailor V
came to be because she was supposed to fight crime until the Moon
Princess takes her rightful place as a Sailor Senshi. Her powers
involve light, metal and usually hearts since her guardian planet is
named after the Roman goddess of love, Venus. In her ranking as
a senshi, she is the third strongest senshi, yet she is the true
leader of the senshi, NOT SAILORMOON!!! (don't believe me?

Transformations and Forms
Venus Power! Make-up! *Venus Power!
She raises her henshin wand into the air as she shouts out
the henshin phrase. The sign of Venus at the top of her Henshin
wand spins quickly, then goes off into the screen. She appears
transparent, waving her henshin wand around with a ribbon of
stars coming out of it. She raises it above her head and the
ribbon spirals around her to her feet. When the ribbon runs out
stars appear from beneath her, covering her in a mantle of glowing stars.
When the light clears, we see her maryjane's appear with her
spinning. As she fluffs her hair back, she gives a quick pose.
Everything is the same as her first transformation as a
senshi. Only the beginning and end is different. In the
beginning, she raises her hand in the air and her nails sparkles
then begins to glow. Her henshin wand appears spinning in the
middle of her palm, and she catches it. At the end, the sign
of Venus appears behind her. This power is more
powerful than the first one.
Here she uses a new henshin wand given to her by
Helios to transform into Super Sailor Venus. The middle part of the sequence disappears, so her shoes are the first thing we see as she spins, finally at the end, a pretty
fancy heart appears behind her.
Sailor V
Her uniform as the first sailor soldier, the crime fighter, Sailor V is different and I think she uses a
compact instead of a henshin wand. Also, she appears wearing
glasses.
Princess Venus
Her form as part of Serenity's court and princess of her
guardian planet, Venus
She raises her pointer finger into the air and two crescent
moons appear above her finger. The crescent moons combine, then
she points at the enemy. The top of her pointer finger sparkles
and gathers light from around her. As she says her
phrase, she points at the enemy and her finger generates a beam
of light.
She does exactly what she does for the crescent beam except
when the light shoots toward the enemy, it splits into about ten
strands of light that wrap the enemy.
The power she obtains from her second henshin, it's when
she raises her hand in an "I Love You" sign as a spiraling chain
of hearts surrounds her body. As she says her henshin phrase,
she points her "I Love You" sign at the enemy and the chain acts
like a whip and can trap or hurt the enemy.
