Sailor Mercury

Ami Mizuno is very studious and brainy, the most intelligent student in Usagi's school, and according to the crybaby, the smartest girl in Japan. Ami is obviously one of Usagi's classmates.

The genius girl is introduced in Act 3. In the same act, Usagi and Luna suspect that she works for the Dark Kingdom and they come to punish her at the cram school Ami studies at, but then the real youma appears. The monster wants to brainwash Ami, but it it is not able to do so. The sign of Mercury appears on the girl's forehead, Luna realises that she had sensed strange energy because Ami is a Sailor Soldier. The cat tells the genius girl to transform into Sailor Mercury, the Soldier of water and intelligence, by yelling out, "Mercury Power! Make-up!". Then she uses her first attack which is unnamed *called "Shabon Spray!" in the Anime), confuses the youma by creating fog, letting Sailor Moon destroy it.

Ami's parents are divorced. She lives with her mother, who is a famous and rich doctor, in an extremely rich apartment. The smart girl highly respects her mother and she dreams to become a doctor one day.

Ami likes swimming, studing, playing chess, and computers. She of course is very good at Maths too. Her great calculating skills are very useful in a battle with monsters. Because of Ami's cleverness, Luna gives the smart girl a mini super computer in episode 9. This small gadget is extremely useful. Sailor Mercury's favourite food are sandwiches because she can eat them while she is studyng, as she says in "Ami-chan's First Love" special. Ami hasn't got many friends, unlike Usagi, therefore, she's afraid of the way the other people see her.

Later, Ami becomes obsessed with the idea to remind Usagi and the others that the exams are very important, and in order to pass them and enter high school, they have to study. The girl always brings a book to study, no matter where she is, and it's rumored that she has an IQ of 300. Ami is afraid of love letters and the SuperS special "Ami-chan's First Love" is dedicated the Soldier of water, or rather Ami Mizuno. Ami's "boyfriend" is Urawa-kun, unfortunately he was showed in only two episodes. The genius is too shy to admit the fact that there are feelings between them.

As a Sailor Soldier, Ami has a different way of fighting. Instead jumping into battle, Sailor Mercury first analyses her enemy. The soldier of intelligence is not weak, but her attacks are not the strongest, too. She, however, is an important part of the Sailor Team and without her, the warriors would not have been able to beat most monsters. Sailor Mercury is protected by the planet Mercury, which gives her the powers of water and ice. Her attacks are mostly defensive.

Later in the story line, Galaxia brainwashes the Sailor Soldiers excepting Sailor Moon. The leader of the Senshi eventually manages to defeat them and bring them back to their normal selves. As Evil Sailor Mercury, Ami receives three new attacks.
