What makes the Leader and the Princess understand each other? Minako and Usagi had been known to have almost the same characteristics, and because of this, they became good friends.

Many had noticed the similarity of the two senshis, of course, the differences of both were compared.  Minako-chan/Sailorvenus had been SailorV before Sailormoon had been discovered, and from SailorV did we notice that she is somehow like somebody we knew all along, Usagi-chan.  Takeuchi Naoko seems to have based Usagi from Minako-chan, since, SailorV manga did come first than Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon manga did. At Minako's first appearance, she was thought to be the Princess, she wasn't, it was Usagi.  At first, Minako as SailorV and her early days as Sailorvenus, she wore the moon insignia on her forehead.  Until, Princess Serenity awakened and the insignia on Sailorvenus' forehead was replaced with a tiara.  Although she wasn't the true Princess, Usagi "thinks. It is good that she is a brave but unimposing princess. It seems that our duty is to protect Princess Serenity," (from Manga of Takeuchi Naoko)

Usagi had been very supportive of Minako-chan.  She tried her best to comfort Minako when she was feeling down.  Even if she is against Minako-chan's decisions, she feels that she cannot do anything about it, she can't change her decision, but she can offer her help. There are only a few people that Minako can tell her secrets to.  It is very rare that you see her rushing to the senshi if she has problems.  But then, Usagi sometimes knows it and just tries to help even in the least.

Usagi and Minako can share their secrets and help each other out.  They think of everything as special and they try to have as much fun as possible.  They act like sisters and bestfriends even if they have almost the same characteristics.
