New Myu!Sailor Jupiter (aka Yuuchi!Mako) ^.^

My first impressions of them. WOW SHE’S SO IN LINE WITH MY MENTAL IMAGE OF JUPITER IT’S A LITTLE SCARY

What I think of their design. I really really love it. I think her civilian outfit is a really great mix of feminine and practical (I could see her gardening in it, which is pretty perfect for Makoto), and her wig is probably my favorite Jupiter wig (the old myu wigs were good too, but PGSM’s Jupiter wig seemed a bit off to me (even though the rest of them in the show were great)).

What I think of their role in the story. It’s wonderful! La Reconquista did a really good job of giving all the inners (besides Mercury) equal roles.

What I think of their interactions with other characters. A++, but I’m really excited to see her interact with Ami more in Petite Etrangere. Just the little preview shows we’ve had for PE have been adorable, even though I’m not sure they were officially in character.

Oh, and her little “That’s one of her charming points!” argument with Rei made my life.

My favorite aspect of the character overall. No I can’t she’s Mako everything is my favorite. I guess I have to go with the way she usually carries herself on stage, it’s the perfect mix of power and happiness that really makes her Mako wonderful.

What could have been improved or changed with regards to the character. I’m going to have to go with something I’ve seen other people say, because I do think the second layer of her skirt should have been pink.

My number one wish for this character. That Yuu stays and the myus continue and we get to see this Makoto for all five arcs 🙂

Favorite character when you were younger

I’m a Jupiter fan for life, but I loved her for pretty different reasons when I was younger. Back then I was a sucker for anyone with hair like mine (Misty was like 70% of the reason I first got into Pokémon), and while Mako/Lita’s hair wasn’t actually red, it was closer than anyone else’s, AND was long and wavy. Plus little me thought of her as a tomboy, and little me loved tomboy characters.
And little me wouldn’t have consciously thought it, but I also loved her for the pure fact that she was bigger than the other girls. Until middle school I was always one of the biggest kids in my class (for both height and weight), and even though she wasn’t any chubbier than the other girls, I loved her for being the “big” one.

Somehow this is my first coloring of Mako. She didn’t turn out as well as I hoped, but I think she’s more fun to color than what I’ve done before. 🙂
