Normal Appearance:  Minako has long golden hair and is usually done up in some form or another, her once brilliant blue eyes have lost their familiar sparkle since the loss of her love, but her smile says a different story.  Her body is still very fit and trim even since the birth of her daughter you would never have known her to be a mother and she is usually found in dresses, skirts, capris, or khakis.

Minako Aino was formerly the Princess of Venus during the Silver Millineum, she was a member of the Princess's court and a defender of the kingdom. She grew into one of the most beautiful and graceful princesses in the court and her dancing was second to none.  During the years of the Silver Millineum Minako met a traveling warrior and fell in love.

That warrior was Jeremy Satterlee the Imperium Knight.  However, Minako's father did not approve of the relationship and Jeremy's reputation as a traveling warrior by name and the two were forced to keep their love in the dark, until the day the Moon was attacked their love was a closely guarded secret.

Minako died protecting the Kingdom and was sent to Earth with the rest of the court to be reborn and to protect the people of the future.

Mina was reborn in England as Sailor V fighting crime she became a fast superstar spawning animated movies and video games and the likes.  With Artemis at her side Minako continually searched for the rest of the scouts and was a solitary sailor until the appearance of Sailor Moon in Tokyo.

Minako was the last of the inner scouts to join and serves as their field leader.  Over the years as a teenager Minako fought evil with the scouts until the great freeze.  Once Neo-Queen Serenity awoke the Earth Minako again took up her duty as Sailor Venus to protect the Royal Family.

After the battle against Lavos and his attempt to resurrect Beryl Mina left to a career in modeling, but returned to help build Crystal Tokyo and attended the wedding of her friend Ami and her former lover Jeremy with a heavy heart and after the ceremony she took a leave of absence to be alone, returning only when she felt her heart had healed.

When Minako returned to Tokyo her feelings for Jeremy were still there deep in her heart; feelings she kept locked away.  With her best friend Raye she lived a normal life until the appearance of Bentaris and his minions. Minako was once again forced to take up the role of Sailor Venus and save the Earth from definite destruction.

During the war with Bentaris Minako met a man whom she fell in love with. They dated for a period of two years and were engaged to be married when he was forced to transfer back to the states by his company.  Minako unwilling to leave her duties as a senshi was forced to stay behind in Tokyo and once again watched with a heavy heart as the second love she had known walked out of her life.

It was only months later that Minako discovered that she was pregnant with Mirabelle.  Minako agonized over whether to tell her lover of the child and choosing not to rip the man's life apart kept the child a secret from him. In order to more thoroughly keep the child a secret Minako gave the child the last name Aino.

As the young girl grew and began to ask questions Mina simply masked her hurt and told the child her father had passed away before her birth.  Since the beginning Mina's closest friend Raye has had a large hand in helping to raise the child and is fondly referred to as Auntie Raye.  The three make quite a pair in their outings and Raye often thinks of Mirabelle as her own daughter.

It is now 15 years since the child's birth and the Imperium Knight has asked to start a school for young Senshi to train in.  Minako knowing this means an end to the child's normal life and a start to a lifelong duty as a Senshi is with a heavy heart as she watches her child train to become a Senshi, forcing upon her the same life as she has been forced to live.
