sexuality headcanon: Bi with a preference for women that grows after high school
gender headcanon: I see her as a cis girl, although with or without the disguise pen, I think she’d enjoy rare occasions of cross dressing (especially to prove she’s hot whatever gender people think she is)
a ship I have with said character: Rei/Minako. Also Ami/Minako, if I’m being honest.
a BROTP I have with said character: Haruka&Minako, obviously, and Mako&MIna. I like to think they all hang out together sometimes and Mina jokes that you have to be this tall to be her friend.
a NOTP I have with said character: Minako/Kunzite. I actually really like SilMil Venus/Kunzite as a tension that never gets acted on, since it makes a great divide between Venus and Serenity, but I don’t think it works in the present day
a random headcanon: Minako has about equal amounts of pride in and resentment of being a soldier, but sometimes the resentment wins out And as much as she hates herself for it, a lot of that resentment focuses on Usagi/Serenity. She loves Usagi, more than anything else in some ways, but sometimes she looks at their lives and bitterness curls up next to that love. In a lot of ways, she sees Usagi as getting to have it all. As Sailor Moon, she is the “star,” so to speak, of the senshi. She gets the most media attention, she’s the hero people focus on, the rest of them are slated as her sidekicks. As Usagi, she has the balance Minako never feels. Usagi feels the pain of fighting, she has that sacrifice, but the next morning she’s always the same old Usagi (on the surface, at least). Minako hasn’t been the same old Minako since she first touched her transformation pen. And as Serenity, she is the reason Minako has Venus inside her in the first place. And as much as Venus blames herself for the fall of the Silver Millennium, as much as she blames Endymion and QUeen Serenity and Beryl, there’s a part of her that blames her Princess. She put her love above everything else. And now, in a second life, she gets that love exactly how she wanted it, she gets assurance that it will last a thousand years, she gets it all with almost no consequences. Venus is the goddamn soldier of love, but she can never choose love the way Usagi/Serenity does.
Minako is grateful that the Outers never fully gell with the inner senshi, even after they become friends, because on days when it’s bad she can drag Haruka to a bar and know she won’t have to hear about Usagi at all for a few hours.
general opinion about said character: I don’t always count her as one of my favorite characters, because my love for Mako and Haruka kind of steamrolls over everything else, but if I think about her for more than two seconds, I love her just as much as them.
