Before becoming friends with [[Usagi Tsukino|Usagi]] and the other Sailor Senshi, Ami was a shy girl who did not make friends easily. She preferred to spend time alone studying and reading books. In return, many of her classmates believed her to be snobby and arrogant because of her intelligence; even being superhuman as she always finished at the top of national exams. However, once Ami and Usagi became friends, the opinions began to change.

Ami is depicted to be a sweet, kind, gentle, and loyal girl who is slightly insecure. In the beginning, she relies on the opinions of her mother, classmates, and teachers. As the series progresses, she becomes stronger and more confident. She is the most sensible out of the Inner Senshi, and she dislikes conflict; especially the fights between Usagi and [[Rei Hino / Sailor Mars|Rei]].

Ami was an only child who lived with her mother [[Saeko Mizuno (manga)|Saeko]], a respected doctor, and her father, a painter. However, her parents would undergo a divorce, leaving Ami in her mother's custody while her father would become a freelance artist.
Ami first appears in the eighth episode, Is the Genius Girl a Youma? Brainwashing School of Terror. She is first mentioned the night before the episode's body starts by Luna when she goes to Game Center Crown to speak to a mysterious contact, later revealed to be Artemis. She asks for information on Ami after sensing a strange aura around her and suspecting her to be the enemy. The next day, the results for the mock exam are posted, Ami is ranked 1st, not just in the school but in the nation. Naru, Umino, Kuri and many of the other students believe her to be stuck-up and arrogant, which makes Ami sad. After school, Luna, suspicious, follows her and jumps on her shoulder. Usagi apologizes to Ami and, wanting to be her friend, asks her to come to the game center. After failing the Sailor V game, Usagi gives her a turn, and she quickly gets the highest score. However, as soon as she realizes that she is late for cram school, she hurries off, accidentally dropping her Crystal Disk in the process. Motoki finds it and gives it to Usagi, who goes to return it. after being stopped by Mamoru, Luna persuades Usagi to investigate the disk to see if they can uncover information on Ami using a school computer. They discover the brainwashing powers of the disk, and Luna, now sure that she is the enemy, returns to stop her. When she arrives and transforms, the actual Youma named [[Garoben]]. She tries to extract Ami's genius energy, but fails because she hasn't been using the disk. Ami says that studying should be done on your own, and that using the disk felt like cheating and frustrated, throws her to the floor and turns her left arm into an ax to chop off her head. At that moment, the symbol of Mercury is revealed on her forehead. Luna realizes that she was wrong; the energy she was sensing was because Ami was a Sailor Senshi and as Sailor Mercury. She creates Sailor Mercury's transformation pen and rolls it to her as she manages to avoid Garoben's attack while instructing her to say "Mercury Power Make Up!." Ami, though shocked, has no choice but to oblige and transforms into Sailor Mercury, fighting Garoben with Sailor Moon and she demonstrates using the [[Bubble Spray]] on Garoben creating a mist which allows her to tell Sailor Moon to hit the youma who is unaware of their whereabouts with Moon Tiara Action and succeeds. From that point on, she would fight as Sailor Mercury.

Ami longed to become a doctor like her mother and grew to be a very intelligent girl to the point of becoming a national genius. Unfortunately, her peers would become envious of her and mistake her shy demeanor for snobbiness, assuming Ami thought she was too good to associate with them. This alienation would cause her to live a very lonely life.
During her missions as Sailor Mercury, she developed a relationship with Ryo Urama. He caught her attention as he was the first known student to surpass her on the Semester Exam, though it was through his psychic powers and not actual studying. Ryo was actually a reincarnation of the Seven Great Yuoma, which the Dark Kingdom tried to revive, but Ami helped to protect him as Sailor Mercury on two separate instances. After the second instance, the two were seen spending time alone.

Sailor moon mercury
"I am the Pretty Guardian Who fights for Love and for Intelligence! I am Sailor Mercury! Douse yourself in water, and repent! "
— Sailor Mercury's stock introduction


Ami Mizuno (水野 亜美, Mizuno Ami) is one of the 5 original Inner Sailor Guardians of the Solar System and was the 2nd Sailor Guardian introduced. Her Sailor Guardian Identity is Sailor Mercury (セーラーマーキュリー, Seeraa Maakyurii). Her powers are based around water and ice, as well as intelligence and computers.

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 included many occultist arts to finely detail each character. For Usagi, these things include:

  • Birthstone: Blue Sapphire - Wisdom, loyalty, and nobility. Believed to promote healing.
  • Zodiac Sign: Virgo - Loyal, analytical, kind, hardworking, practical; Shy, anxious, overly critical of self and others, all work and no play.
  • Blood-type: A - Sensible and fastidious.

Personality

Before becoming friends with Usagi and the other Sailor Senshi, Ami was a shy girl who did not make friends easily. She preferred to spend time alone studying and reading books. In return, many of her classmates believed her to be snobby and arrogant because of her intelligence; even being superhuman as she always finished at the top of national exams. However, once Ami and Usagi became friends, the opinions began to change.

Ami is depicted to be a sweet, kind, gentle, and loyal girl who is slightly insecure. In the beginning, she relies on the opinions of her mother, classmates, and teachers. As the series progresses, she becomes stronger and more confident. She is the most sensible out of the Inner Sailor Guardians and she dislikes conflict; especially the fights between Usagi and Rei.

Ami's parents are divorced; living with her mother in a condominium. Her mother is always working, leaving Ami to care for herself. She also dreams of becoming a doctor like her mother.

Her favorite subjects were math and science. She also has a secret love of romance novels and pop culture but is embarrassed to say it.

Information

Ami was an only child who lived with her mother Saeko, a respected doctor, and her father, a painter. However, her parents would undergo a divorce, leaving Ami in her mother's custody while her father would become a freelance artist.

Ami longed to become a doctor like her mother and grew to be a very intelligent girl to the point of becoming a national genius. Unfortunately, her peers would become envious of her and mistake her shy demeanor for snobbiness, assuming Ami thought she was too good to associate with them. This alienation would cause her to live a very lonely life.

Sailor Moon

Ami first appears in the 8th episode where she is first mentioned the night before the episode's body starts by Luna when she goes to Game Center Crown to speak to a mysterious contact, later revealed to be Artemis. She asks for information on Ami after sensing a strange aura around her and suspecting her to be the enemy. The next day, the results for the mock exam are posted, Ami is ranked 1st, not just in the school but in the nation. Naru, Umino, Kuri and many of the other students believe her to be stuck-up and arrogant, which makes Ami sad. After school, Luna, suspicious, follows her and jumps on her shoulder. Usagi apologizes to Ami and, wanting to be her friend, asks her to come to the game center. After failing the Sailor V game, Usagi gives her a turn, and she quickly gets the highest score. However, as soon as she realizes that she is late for cram school, she hurries off, accidentally dropping her Crystal Disk in the process. Motoki finds it and gives it to Usagi, who goes to return it. after being stopped by Mamoru, Luna persuades Usagi to investigate the disk to see if they can uncover information on Ami using a school computer. They discover the brainwashing powers of the disk, and Luna, now sure that she is the enemy, returns to stop her. When she arrives and transforms, the actual Youma named Garoben. She tries to extract Ami's genius energy but fails because she hasn't been using the disk. Ami says that studying should be done on your own and that using the disk felt like cheating and frustrated, throws her to the floor and turns her left arm into an ax to chop off her head. At that moment, the symbol of Mercury is revealed on her forehead. Luna realizes that she was wrong; the energy she was sensing was because Ami was a Sailor Guardian and is Sailor Mercury. She creates Sailor Mercury's transformation pen and rolls it to her as she manages to avoid Garoben's attack while instructing her to say "Mercury Power, Make up" Ami, though shocked, has no choice but to oblige and transforms into Sailor Mercury, fighting Garoben with Sailor Moon and she demonstrates using the Shabon Spray attack on Garoben creating a mist which allows her to tell Sailor Moon to hit the youma who is unaware of their whereabouts with Moon Tiara Action and succeeds.
