Beryl is a great reflection of Usagi’s dark…”
I kind of saw Ami having the Dark Moon because of the whole long life aspect, though it’s probably more the kind of science aspect of long life. Which would go like science trying to improve lifespans but I’m sure if I am hitting it right. Idk, maybe it’s just me being used to the anime more and Rei having the visions of the end of the world. Saturn’s destruction and fire can burn and be destructive (seems I’m rambling at this point but these were my initial thoughts.)
I like this take a lot! Ami and Rei are hard ones for me, because I feel draw to have both of them work like this for both arcs. Rei for Infinity could be really interesting playing against Hotaru and Mistress 9 for the reasons you said, and playing with the line between righteous anger, hatred, and cool minded destruction for a purpose (and hello father issues, though we don’t see much of Rei’s in the anime). And Ami for black moon could give rise to a lot of different things, depending on how it would play out.
She’s hard for me, for a lot of reasons, because she strikes me as the most… well-adjusted? of the Inners. Like, she has flaws, but she’s self-aware for a lot of them, so I have a hard time digging in to meaty storylines with her. (Though like, I do not know if you are familiar with PGSM, but THAT Ami, filled with self-doubt and jealousy, could play really interesting against a toned-down Demand and Setsuna, for ideas of loneliness and desire and how much can you try and possess things and how much can you hold yourself back)
