Ami Mizuno (水野 亜美, Mizuno Ami) is one of the Inner Sailor Guardians and the second Senshi introduced. Her sailor guardian identity is Sailor Mercury (セーラーマーキュリー, Sērā Mākyurī).
Nomenclature & Etymology[]
Etymology[]
Ami, the kanji for A (亜) translates to "Asia", "rank next", or "come after". The kanji for mi (美) translates to "beauty". So her first name could be either "Asian Beauty" or "Second Beauty".
Mizuno, the kanji for Mizu (水) translates to "water" while the kanji for no (野) translates to "plains", "field", "rustic", or "civilian life". The syllable no (の) also indicates possession, so while the literal translation of her family name may be "water field" or "water civilian", others may translate it as "of the water."
Nomenclature[]
Naoko Takeuchi provided many additional details on Ami which include:
- Blood Type: A[1]
- Zodiac Sign: Virgo[1] - Ruled by Mercury
Appearance[]
Civilian[]
In her civilian form, Ami has straight black hair and typically dresses somewhat formally; she typically wears sleeved dresses boots
Sailor Senshi[]
Ami takes on an appearance similar to her anime counterpart; she dons light blue knee-high boots, white gloves, a tiara with a blue gem, and wears a leotard with a light blue miniskirt. She also has a light blue bow on her chest, and her hair becomes light blue as well.
Dark Mercury[]
Her outfit overall is the same as her standard Sailor Senshi form. However, there are added designs which form sharp patterns, specifically on her boots and other parts of her costume. These are black with purple highlights.
Personality[]
She is very reserved, shy, and a bit of a loner. Because of this, she finds it hard to make new friends. After befriending Usagi Tsukino, she was unsure of her newfound friend and tried to find ways to let Usagi warm up to her, afraid of being left. However, her efforts turned out to be counterproductive: Usagi felt isolated by her pretending to be someone she wasn't and they separated for a while. She was the only one still going to the Secret Base, under the impression everyone would come together; she also tried to keep everyone together at a time everyone was falling apart.
Information[]
Ami Mizuno is an intelligent 14-year-old second-year student at Juuban Middle School. She is in the same class as Usagi.
In Act 2, she finds Usagi's cat, Luna, on the street. Usagi invites Ami to lunch and discovers that the two share a common interest - the pop idol Minako Aino.
After meeting Ami, Luna tells Usagi that she is another Sailor Guardian, Sailor Mercury. Usagi tells Ami about her destiny as a soldier the next day. Ami feels that Usagi is only being her friend because of her destiny as a Sailor Guardian and refuses to help her fight. To get out of it, she tells Usagi that she has too much work to do for school. Luna insists that Ami must fight, but Usagi does not want to force her into anything.
However, when Ami and Usagi are being attacked by a Youma at Ami's cram school, she changes her mind. Ami is thrown off a building ledge when Sailor Moon grabs her to try to save her, though both girls are slipping. Ami then realizes that Usagi is genuine and transforms into Sailor Mercury to attack the Youma.
In Act 20, Ami feels quite lonely. All of her friends seem too busy with other pursuits to pay attention to her. Kunzite then appears. Ami tries to fight him off by herself, but Kunzite sends a blast of energy at her. Sailor Mercury's head drops for a moment. When she wakes up again, the energy has taken over her mind.
In Act 21, Makoto goes into Ami's house and finds her unconscious. After determining that she's okay, Makoto suggests going to an amusement park to cheer her up.
On the way there, Ami passes out. When they go to a hospital, Makoto hears something in Ami's hospital room. When she gets to the room, she sees black rose petals. Ami, staring blankly, walks to Kunzite's layer. Sailor Jupiter tries to save her, but it is no use. Ami is under Kunzite's control. After she transforms into Dark Mercury, she challenges the four Senshis.
In Act 28, when Sailor Mercury is temporarily released from Kunzite's spell, she finds that she has hurt Sailor Moon. Sailor Mercury feels terrible for hurting a friend; Sailor Moon is then healed by Mercury's love for her friend, and Kunzite loses his control completely. She has no memory of what has happened while she was Dark Mercury.
