Mina was discovered as Sailor V, long before Sailor Moon even met Luna. And Serena was totally obsessed with Sailor V. Mina isn't from Japan. She is from England. That is where Artemis found her and told her about her destiny as a Sailor Scout, Artemis is Venus's gaurdian cat. In England Mina played volleyball, and was awesome at it. This is when she was discovered to be a Sailor Scout.

When she was in seventh grade, during gym, she met a cute little cat with a crescent moon on his head. This cat was Artemis. He told her of her destiny to be a Sailor Scout, and she soon became the defender of Venus, and love. She was known to all in England as Sailor V! And her outfit was way different from Sailor Venus's. Like Sailor Moon she had a blue skirt, and red front ribbon. She also had a little red streak at the end of her skirt, the outfit was two pieces, and she had a mask to disguise herself. The only thing that is probably the same between the two outfits is her big red hairbow.

But this whole Sailor V thing really effected Mina's life. She had pratically no time for homework, or little else. Her grades dropped and she lost a lor of friends. She became almost an outcast. People where mean to her, and thought that she was some kind of weirdo who didn't like to be around people. They had no idea she was the one protecting them from the monsters that attacked their lives.

Two friends Mina was sure she could always count on where Katarina and Alan. Katarina was friend that helped Sailor V fight the villians, and Alan was someone that Mina liked a lot.

But there was something that drastically changed all this. One day Sailor V and Katarina where both involved in this really big fight with a villian together. Sailor V ran into a building to try and capture the villian, but the building collapsed upon her. Katarina thought that Sailor V had been killed, but Sailor V was fine, until she managed to crawl out of the building. She saw Alan hugging Katarina, and the hug appeared affectionate (at least to Mina) and she realized that Alan loved Katarina, and not Mina. So she fled to Japan, not letting either of them know she was alive, it would be easier that way, she thought, to let Alan go.

In Japan Mina meets up with the Sailor Scouts. The first episode she appears in is 'Sailor V makes a Scene.' She saves the scouts from a wicked attack and is from then on known as Sailor Venus!

Mina is probably known as a klutz to most people. She really brings that out in an episode called 'No Thanks Nurse Venus.' She trys to help out the scouts with a nasty flu bug they all have, and is assisted by Rini. They make total klutz's of themselves but in the end, Sailor Venus saves the day!

 

Mina is a totally awesome person, really friendly, and right to the point. She has so much to be proud of, and a great personality.
