Minako, formerly the famous SailorV, is by far the most experienced and the most cheerful/airheaded of the five inner senshi. In truth, she was the first senshi to be discovered, in the days predating Sailormoon; however, she did not appear and become part of the group until after the other four girls had been discovered. As the leader of the royal guardians, she holds extensive tactical knowledge, and keeps a level head during a battle (though not always when it's not battle-time). Her attacks include light and heat, and her bubbling good cheer usually keeps the others' spirits up.
