Sailor Venus

Minako Aino, better known as Sailor Venus, is a fictional character in the Sailor Moon manga series written by Naoko Takeuchi. Minako is a member of the Sailor Soldiers, female supernatural fighters who protect the Solar System from evil.
Minako is the fourth and last Sailor Soldier to be discovered by Usagi Tsukino, though she was the first to be awakened to her powers. She possesses powers associated with love and beauty. In the manga and anime series she dreams of becoming a famous idol, whereas in the live-action series her character is refactored to already be a celebrity.
Minako is introduced as the protagonist of Naoko Takeuchi's much-shorter manga series, Codename: Sailor V, of which Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon is a sequel. In it, she goes by the pseudonym Sailor V, short for "Venus", and is given personal backstory. The plot lines of Sailor V are generally compatible with the latter series, but are usually considered separate. Later, she co-stars with Rei Hino in a special short story titled Rei and Minako's Girls School Battle.

Some anime characters are clever and cunning, but this list isn't devoted to them. These anime airheads are not the brightest in the bunch, and that's perfectly okay. Take Luffy from One Piece, for example, who doesn't really have much running through his head besides food and beating people up. Mugen in Samurai Champloo barely knows how to read&nbsp;and is constantly picking his nose with a blank look on his face. These anime characters aren't necessarily dumb, they're just space-cases who don't really have a deep intellectual side.Who is your favorite dumb anime character?

Sailor Moon and&nbsp;her gang of sailor-suited, celestial-themed fighters&nbsp;are the pretty protectors of the Earth, space, and beyond. They&#39;re a team of hard-hitting heroines who never back down from a fight, no matter which side of the galaxy (or time) it happens to be on. Aside from the planets that give these galactic guardians their powers, each eccentric&nbsp;astrological warrior&nbsp;is accompanied by their own set of stellar character traits. Like organizing&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/superhero-for-each-zodiac/crystal-brackett" target="_blank">superheroes by zodiac sign</a>, matching up&nbsp;Sailor Moon characters with astrological signs&nbsp;helps reveal otherwise unexplainable&nbsp;qualities. Going&nbsp;beyond the symbolism of their&nbsp;extraterrestrial bodies, the zodiac&nbsp;exposes&nbsp;their personality quirks at the core of it all.

But which Sailor Moon character are you? Are you the seductive, secretive Sailor Pluto, who wields both time and the Water&nbsp;sign Scorpio? Or maybe you&#39;re the emotional crybaby Sailor Moon, who&#39;s both as sensitive and loving as her Moon sign, Cancer. Only the stars will tell!
