A description of the character goes here.


 * Action Girl: Sure, she's a bit of a crybaby, but she's still the one who's always charging into the villain's stronghold to rescue her boyfriend. Plus she takes quite a few levels in badass as the story progresses.
 * Adorkable
 * Attractive Bent Gender: In Chapter 5 of the manga, Usagi uses her disguise pen to turn into a groom. And she/he is hot.
 * Animal Motifs: Rabbit
 * Author Avatar: Naoko Takeuchi has stated that Usagi was modeled after herself.
 * The Beautiful Elite: During the Silver Millenium and Crystal Tokyo.
 * Betty and Veronica: The Betty to Rei's Veronica for Mamoru's Archie. She wins.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: In the manga, where Usagi will really punish you in the name of the moon for your evil deeds - with lethal magical force.
 * Big Damn Heroes:
 * Big Eater: Usagi, this is also one of her known traits in the series.
 * Bi the Way: Implied in the third manga arc with the feelings she shows toward Haruka/Uranus even after finding out that Haruka is a girl. In the anime, she really goes googly-eyed over Rei at first sight, though that can be interpreted that she simply likes the miko costumes. Stupid Sexy Flanders is also a likely explanation; she could just be surrounded by amazingly gorgeous girls.
 * Blessed with Suck: In PGSM, her combined wrath and the Maboroshi no Ginzuishou are actually.
 * Book Dumb: Usagi on many occasions that it becomes a miracle whenever she says something smart.
 * Bratty Teenage Daughter: Milder version.
 * Butt Monkey: Some tendency toward this, namely in the anime.
 * By the Power of Grayskull: "Moon prism power, make up!", "Moon crystal power, make up!", "Moon cosmic power, make up!", "Crisis, make up!", "Moon crisis, make up!", "Moon eternal, make up!(Anime)/Silver Moon crystal power, make up!(Manga)"
 * Clingy Jealous Girl: Toward Mamoru, often. More as a sign of childishness than serious clinginess.
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: If you give her a reason to stop complaining and fight you, she will. Especially in the manga where she Took a Level in Badass.
 * Daddy's Girl: Kenji-papa is quite protective of her.
 * The Ditz: Usagi's ditzy personality is tied together with the rest of her character.
 * Driven to Suicide: In the manga, her past self committed suicide after Endymion was killed.
 * Edible Ammunition: In the final season she once used a Pizza for her "Moon Tiara Action" attack due to the fact that her final outfit lacked a Tiara.
 * Even the Girls Want Her: Especially in the manga. Haruka even manages to kiss her in it.
 * Expressive Hair: Infamously known as "Meatball Head".
 * Expy: Of Sailor Venus. In the anime, this led to the Flanderization of Sailor Venus to distinguish their personalities.
 * Fear of Thunder One episode of Sailormoon R reveals this, and it negatively impacts her harshly, Usagi's daughter Chibiusa also has a fear of thunder too.
 * Feather Motif: Eternal Sailor Moon, her attacks of Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss and Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss which invoke purification with a blast of white sparkly feathers.
 * Fisher Queen: As Neo-Queen Serenity.
 * The Fool: Rei usually picks on her for this.
 * Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The foolish to Shingo's responsible.
 * Genius Ditz: Sailor Moon is the only sailor soldier who can heal, purify and resurrect despite her civilian ditzyness.
 * Genki Girl: Often goes crazy in a variety of situations.
 * Giant Waist Ribbon: In her Super Sailor fuku, Eternal Sailor fuku, Princess Serenity and Neo-Queen Serenity form.
 * Girlish Pigtails: Very long pigtails.
 * Goggles Do Something Unusual: Her manga only mask lets her see disguised enemies and those who are in danger. She doesn't like it though and takes it off until it stops appearing.
 * Hair Decorations: Her red jewel odango covers, as well as the white hair barrettes (which she gained later in the anime, but always had in the manga and live-action).
 * Hair of Gold: In the anime.
 * Heart Beat-Down: Many of her attacks involve love and hearts, even one attacks consists of blasting enemies in the face with hearts. This trait would pass down to Chibiusa.
 * Heart Light: Her final form consists of her having wings and a Glowing lotus symbol on her chest.
 * The Heroine: The one and only Sailor Moon.
 * Heroic Self-Deprecation: Highlighted in the third season of the anime, when Haruka and Michiru begin hurling this at Usagi.
 * Hot Mom: Will become this once Chibi-Usa is properly born.
 * I Just Want to Be Normal: Doesn't want to be Sailor Moon if she can help it. Pretty justified, since her Senshi and Mysterious Protector are often in danger...
 * "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: Insanely good at winning those, in the anime.
 * Incorruptible Pure Pureness
 * Informed Flaw: In the anime she claims she's chubby and flat-chested, and bothered about this. She more-or-less looks pretty much like every other female character in terms of body model.
 * Innocent Blue Eyes: Queen Nehelenia''s berserk button, screaming at Sailor Moon not to look at her "with those sad eyes"
 * In the Name of the Moon: Trope Namer. "For love and justice, I am the sailor-suited pretty soldier: Sailor Moon! In the Name of the Moon I will punish you!"
 * Lady and Knight: with Prince Endymion and his reincarnation.
 * Lethal Chef: What she cooks either looks bad but tastes good, or looks good but Tastes Like Feet.
 * Light Is Not Good: in PGSM.
 * Love Freak
 * Lunacy
 * Mama Bear: Woe betide whoever tries to harm her Kid From the Future. And her true love. And her friends. Especially in the case of Manga Usagi, who's a lot less forgiving than her anime counterpart.
 * Martyr Without a Cause: She always offers her life or the Silver Crystal to try solving problems.
 * The Messiah: Known as "The Messiah of Purity"
 * Messianic Archetype: Coupled with The Messiah, Sailor Moon is the one who can and will save the world
 * Meaningful Name: Tsukino Usagi -> tsuki no usagi -> "rabbit of the moon" -> Moon Rabbit
 * Naughty Is Good: Start of the manga and anime in general (specially the first series and Stars).
 * Not a Morning Person: She does wake up. Just not in time and not so easily.
 * Ocular Gushers: They don't call her "Crybaby Usagi" for nothing, especially in the title of the first episode, and if you call her "odango-atama" (roughly translates to "dumpling/meatball head.") Which she later embraces as a term of endearment, though only when it comes out of Mamoru's mouth.
 * Odango Hair: Well, duh; she's the Trope Codifier.
 * The Other Darrin: From Tracey Moore to Terri Hawkes to Linda Ballantyne in the English dub. She was also played briefly by Kae Araki in the Japanese Version during the final few episodes of the first season due to Kotono Mitsuishi having her appendix removed.
 * Pimped-Out Dress: Her Moon princess dress, the disguise wedding dress in one episode, and another disguise dress to get into a party that even came with a Parasol of Prettiness.
 * The Pollyanna: To a degree, in the anime.
 * Power Strain Blackout: She usually faints or at least collapses and loses her Super form after using her Rainbow Moon Heartache attack in the S series, although that restriction on her Super form doesn't apply during SuperS, probably because she's using a power source other than the Holy Grail in that series. She also has this problem in the first few episodes of Stars, when she first tries to become Eternal Sailor Moon, and like with SuperS, the problem disappears once that becomes her default form when the Animamates start appearing.
 * Promotion to Parent: Very weird variation, since the child she's taking care of is her own Kid From the Future.
 * Plucky Girl: So very, very much.
 * Psychosomatic Superpower Outage: At one point, she loses the ability to use her Moon Tiara Action spell; it's because she subconsciously doesn't want to be Sailor Moon anymore.
 * Rapunzel Hair: Especially in the manga, where her hair grows even more after she first transforms into Princess Serenity and she has to get it cut to a still long, but more manageable length.
 * Really 700 Years Old: in the manga, when the group finally meets Neo-Queen Serenity, she looks as though she may be 18-20 years old, it really does sink in until you find out that Chibi-Usa is 900 years old.
 * Shipper on Deck: Rei/Yuuichirou, Haruka/Michiru, Chibi-Usa/Helios, Motoki/Reika, Ami/Urawa and Naru/ fangirl.
 * Stepford Smiler: Becomes this in Stars, . Even worse in the manga, because  and she spends a good deal of the time blocking the event out of her mind.
 * Super Mode: Super Sailor Moon is S
 * Take a Third Option: In the anime, she always uses The Power of Love and The Power of Friendship as an alternative. In the manga, not so much.
 * Talking To Herself with ChibiChibi.
 * Terrible Artist
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: One of each in the Anime and Manga versions.
 * Manga: Girly Girl to Seiya's Tomboy.
 * Anime: Tomboy to Naru's Girly Girl, despite not being that boyish.
 * Took a Level in Badass: Several, actually, both in the anime and in the manga.
 * This Loser Is You: She's gentle, compassionate, selfless and friendly. She's also clumsy, lazy, childish and spoiled. And her friends and love interest, much as they love her, aren't shy about lampshading the trope frequently.
 * Tsundere: Starts as a Type A (tsuntsun) towards Mamoru, but becomes a Type-B (deredere) by the time they find out each others' identities.
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: With Rei in the anime, type 2.
 * White-Haired Pretty Girl: In the manga by virtue of it being black and white, however color illustrations in the manga, especially the 2011 re-release on American shores prove that yes, even in the Manga, Usagi is meant to have Hair of Gold, as she's depicted in color pages as such.

The Sailor Team
Fanon nickname: The Inner Senshi


 * Five-Man Band: With Sailor Moon, but they don't follow the usual color-coding.
 * The Hero: Sailor Moon (who wears white instead of red)
 * The Lancer: Sailor Mars (who wears red instead of blue)
 * The Smart Guy: Sailor Mercury (who wears blue instead of green)
 * The Big Guy: Sailor Jupiter (who wears green instead of yellow)
 * The Chick: Sailor Venus (who wears yellow orange instead of pink)

Ami Mizuno/Amy - Sailor Mercury
Voiced by: Aya Hisakawa (Japanese), Karen Bernstein (English, Classic, R, and movies), Liza Balkan (English, S and Super S), Rossy Aguirre (Latin American Spanish), Ana Maria Mari and Elena Ruiz (European Spanish), Debora Magnaghi (Italian), Stefanie Beba (German), Gilmara Sanches (Brazilian Portuguese, Classic), Melissa Garcia (Brazilian Portuguese, R - Stars), Isabel Wolmar (European Portuguese)

A description of the character goes here.


 * Action Girl: Not quite as much as the other Senshi, but she does have her moments.
 * Allergic to Love: Only three shots of love, one ends in heartbreak, two end in a friendly way. Also, love letters give her hives.
 * Technically, the stress that she was under gave her hives; the love letter was the straw that broke the camel's back.
 * An Ice Person: Gets this power later on in the series.
 * Badass Bookworm: Her extreme knowledge capabilities are a valuable asset to the senshi. She's also quite an exceptional swimmer, rivaling Michiru.
 * Barrier Maiden: Her future self in Crystal Tokyo.
 * Blue Eyes: Everything is blue!
 * Brainwashed and Crazy: in PGSM.
 * By the Power of Grayskull: "Mercury power, make up!", "Mercury star power, make up!", "Mercury planet power, make up!" (manga) "Mercury crystal power, make up!"
 * Covert Pervert
 * Curtains Match the Window
 * Dark Magical Girl: Only in the live-action.
 * Elemental Hair: Her blue hair perfectly matches her water and ice affinities.
 * Evil Costume Switch: Live action only. She gets brainwashed and turns into an evil version called Dark Mercury; Moon manages to bring her back, though..
 * Giant Waist Ribbon: Super Sailor Mercury, Eternal Sailor Mercury.
 * Goggles Do Something Unusual: They're able to scan the enemy and work in conjunction with her mini-computer. Also they can release a fog in the manga. They're also activated by touching her earring. (She can also make a headset mic appear.)
 * Hot Chick with a Sword: The first one in PGSM to get one.
 * Innocent Fanservice Girl: She gets more naked scenes than any other senshi, mostly when she's in the water.
 * In the Name of the Moon: "For love and intellect, I am a sailor-suited pretty soldier: Sailor Mercury! In the name of Mercury, soak your head in water and reflect on yourself!"
 * Intelligence Equals Isolation: Before meeting Usagi. Her school peers mistook her shyness for arrogance and refused to approach her.
 * Lonely Rich Kid: More in the manga and live-action. Her single mother is a high-ranking doctor at her hospital and has to work very late hours, so Ami has been a latch-key kid most of her life.
 * Making a Splash: Her primary element.
 * Mama Bear: Mercury is so pissed when a monster goes after babies that she gains a new power.
 * Meganekko: As an obvious metaphor for Ami's introversion and fear of making friends. In the original manga, she just used them for reading occasionally, and the anime rarely showed them at all. However, in the live action she wore them more or less all the time in the earlier episodes despite not actually needing them.
 * : In PGSM.
 * Musical Assassin: To a small degree, when she uses her Mercury Aqua Rhapsody which takes the form of a water harp.
 * Shy Blue-Haired Girl The poster child of this trope.
 * Shrinking Violet: See Intelligence Equals Isolation.
 * The Smart Girl
 * Smart People Play Chess: Versus Bertheir and the daimoness U-Iksasaman.
 * Surprisingly Good English: In the anime she proved herself on the same level of Minako, who learned her almost accentless Queen's English in London.
 * Tareme Eyes
 * Teen Genius: Ranked as one of the top 3 at her school.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: She manages to be both at the same time. She's shy and ladylike, but is very athletic (she's a good swimmer), dreams of being a doctor, and has a boyish haircut.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Dark blue.
 * Water Is Blue: Naturally, her fuku is light blue and royal blue.
 * Weak but Skilled: Her combat ability is kind of a joke (especially in the first season, where she just makes fog), but she's got highly useful support abilities (such as her computer).
 * What Could Have Been: Originally Takeuchi was going to give Ami an IQ of over 300 and reveal that she was really a Robot Girl, but the entire plotline was dropped and Ami's intelligence was downgraded to mere Teen Genius status.

Rei Hino/Raye - Sailor Mars
Voiced by: Michie Tomizawa (Japanese), Katie Griffin (English, Classic - Super S and movies), Emilie Claire Barlow (English, R EP 66-82), Monica Manjarrez (Latin American Spanish), Julia Haacke (German), Christina Rodrigues (Brazilian Portuguese, Classic), Denise Popitz (Brazilian Portuguese, R - Stars), Cristina Cavalinhos (European Portuguese)

A description of the character goes here.


 * Action Girl: Is usually an assault-first tactician.
 * Anti-Hero: A Type II in the English dub. Not so much in the original Japanese anime or in the manga.
 * The Archer "MARS FLAME SNIPER!"
 * Asian Rune Chant: One of her powers.
 * Barrier Maiden: Her future self in Crystal Tokyo.
 * Betty and Veronica: The Veronica to Usagi's Betty for Mamoru's Archie. She loses.
 * By the Power of Grayskull: "Mars power, make up!", "Mars star power, make up!", Mars Planet Power, Make up! (manga) "Mars crystal power, make up!"
 * Celibate Heroine: In the manga, due to a vow of chastity she gave in her past life.
 * Commander Contrarian: In the dub.
 * Defrosting Ice Queen: In the manga and live-action.
 * Detect Evil: One of the powers she has even without transforming.
 * Does Not Like Men: In the manga and, to a lesser extent, PGSM. In the anime, she's just as boy-happy as Usagi, Minako and Makoto.
 * Even the Girls Want Her: Both anime and manga.
 * Giant Waist Ribbon Super Sailor Mars, Eternal Sailor Mars.
 * Hair-Trigger Temper: In the anime.
 * Hot-Blooded: In the anime.
 * In the Name of the Moon: "For love and passion, I am a sailor-suited pretty soldier: Sailor Mars! In the name of Mars, I will chastise you!"
 * The Lancer: To Usagi in the anime. In the manga, she's The Lancer to The Lancer (Minako).
 * Lovable Alpha Bitch: Arguably, she is popular at her school, and she does act kind-of snobby and mean towards the other Senshi, particularly Usagi and Ami. But she is actually nice to her classmates, and then she becomes nicer (though still Hot-Blooded) to the Senshi. The live-action show averts this, as she is more distant than actually mean, and is actually shown to be an outcast because of her psychic powers.
 * Miko: despite the fact that her father is a Japanese Christian and he pays her tuition at a Catholic girls' school. It's a sign of the severe rift between the two of them.
 * Actually, it's not mentioned that Mr. Hino is Japanese Christian. The school Rei attends is one for rich girls and an expy of the one that the girls from the Imperial Family (including a young Empress Michiko) and other rich girls attend in Real Life. While it's not impossible that he professes the Catholic faith (at least seven Japanese Premiers are Caths), it could just be a symbol of the Hinos's ultra high-status in Japanese society.
 * The Ojou: More in the manga and the live-action.
 * Paper Talisman: As a shinto priestess, Rei can use Ofuda and in some occasions these power her attacks or negatively impact her enemies. Minako even steals one Rei's Ofuda slips and uses it.
 * Parental Abandonment: In the manga and the live-action, mom is dead and she's emotionally distanced from dad.
 * Playing with Fire: Even she can get burned by it.
 * Purple Eyes: In the anime.
 * Raised by Grandparents: Her maternal grandpa takes her into his shrine after Rei's mom perishes to illness and she refuses to live with her dad.
 * Raven Hair, Ivory Skin
 * The Smart Girl: Serves this role alongside Ami in the original manga.
 * Sugar and Ice Personality: In the manga.
 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo: Much more in the manga. According to Word of God, she's actually the shortest inner senshi (though not by much).
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: Girly Girl to Minako's Tomboy in the manga.
 * Tsundere: In the anime. She starts quite tsuntsun, becomes more deredere... and her tsundereness comes out when around both Yuuichirou and Usagi.
 * Tsurime Eyes
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: With Usagi in the anime and with Minako in the manga, type 2.

Makoto Kino/Lita - Sailor Jupiter
Voiced by: Emi Shinohara (Japanese), Susan Roman (English), Araceli De Leon (Latin American Spanish), Veronika Neugebauer (German), Mandy Huydts (Dutch), Isabel de Sá (Brazilian Portuguese, Classic), Fernanda Bulara (Brazilian Portuguese, R - Stars), Cristina Paiva (European Portuguese)

A description of the character goes here.


 * Action Girl
 * Badass Abnormal: Took out three bullies who threatened Serena/Usagi, punched Zoicite in the face while trying to protect Game Machine Joe, and saved Sailor Moon from the crane game monster in her debut episode -- then she got her powers.
 * Barrier Maiden: Her future self in Crystal Tokyo.
 * Boobs of Steel: She's got quite the, ahem, "talent."
 * Big Bra to Fill: Sailor Jupiter, by far the most "talented" soldier in the anime, is downright flat-chested in PGSM.
 * The Big Girl
 * Blow You Away: She is capable of this according to Word of God, and some of her attacks invoke this.
 * Bokukko
 * Bully Hunter: Protective towards Usagi against anyone harming her.
 * By the Power of Grayskull: "Jupiter power, make up!", "Jupiter star power, make up!", Jupiter Planet Power, Make up! "Jupiter crystal power, make up!"
 * Chef of Iron
 * Cloudcuckoolander: Has her moments, though not nearly as frequently as Usagi does.
 * Delinquents: Her overall looks (very long school skirt, jewelry, wavy hair) and her bad reputation at school comes from the concept of Sukeban or female school rebels. Makoto was intended to be a delinquent leader who smoked, drank, and had a motorcycle gang in tow, but the idea was scrapped out and only her looks and bad rep stayed.
 * Eating Lunch Alone: In her first episode. Usagi subverts it quickly by asking her to share, though.
 * Effortless Amazonian Lift: Her debut has her throwing a grown man around like a ragdoll. She also picks up Ami during a dance and shows no physical strain.
 * Hair Decorations: Her ever-present green hair beads that tie her pony tail up.
 * Everything's Sparkly with Jewelry: Has a beautiful pair of rose-shaped earrings.
 * Face of a Thug: Intentionally subverted. Makoto (Lita) isn't ugly, but everything about her design was to make her look like a delinquent (see above). In addition, her height is intimidating to most Japanese people, and she's also notorious for fighting at her old school (the English dub had everyone afraid of Lita because of rumors that she's a bully, rather than people being afraid of her because of her height), yet, she only fights if someone is in danger, not to threaten and harass people for fun.
 * Feminine Women Can Cook: She actually tries to invoke this. In one episode of the third series, she secretly confides to Usagi that she only got into cooking to compensate for her tomboyishness.
 * Gender Blender Name
 * Gentle Giant: She's not the bully she appears to be, at all.
 * Giant Waist Ribbon: Super Sailor Jupiter, Eternal Saior Jupiter.
 * Green Eyes: Matches her Jupiter look.
 * Green Thumb: Uses plants in addition to lightning in her attacks in the manga. The anime stripped this element of her powers entirely, only invoking this in her final attack, "Jupiter Oak Evolution", which still used thunder instead. She even wore a belt filled with potpourri in the manga and this is retained in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.
 * Huge Schoolgirl: Maybe one of the most famous examples in the whole shoujo genre.
 * In the Name of the Moon: Subverted in that she never got an introduction speech. Reverted in the live-action, where she does get one: "Soldier of Thunder and Courage, Sailor Jupiter! In the name of Jupiter, I'll punish you!"
 * Mama Bear: She is the Sailor Soldier of Protection. And as such, if you look at her friends the wrong way... Lord help you. One of the biggest examples is in R, where she goes batshit and singlehandedly kills a Youma when it pins Moon to the ground. And this is after Jupìter has donated blood and thus is quite weakened by the moment.
 * Neat Freak: In the manga version.
 * No Guy Wants an Amazon: Poor Makoto. At least the Periphery Demographic strongly disagrees.
 * Parental Abandonment: Her parents are dead from a plane crash. Mostly in the manga.
 * Running Gag: In the anime, whenever she meets a boy, she will say he reminds her of her senpai (Japanese) / old boyfriend (English). Including a dog, once.
 * She's Got Legs: Even more so than her castmates; obvious given her height.
 * Shock and Awe: Her primary element.
 * Statuesque Stunner: Taller than most, but shorter to Haruka and Setsuna.
 * Supreme Chef: Aspires to one day own her very own bakery with her dessert dishing.
 * Susan Roman: Her North American VA, and notably the only one of the 5 Inner Senshi whose voice remained the same through the whole series.
 * Petal Power: One of her manga attacks.
 * Team Chef: Cooks for the other senshi on various occasions.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: Like Ami, she's both rolled into one but even more so. She's physically the strongest of the scouts, can beat up grown men, and was expelled from a previous school for fighting, but she's also the best cook, seamstress, and housekeeper of them, and wants to be a florist and a baker (in the English version, she wants to own her own restaurant and cook there).
 * Tomboy Princess
 * Tomboyish Ponytail: Never seen untied.
 * Transfer Student Uniforms: Usagi's school does not have a big enough uniform for her so she keeps her previous one. Thankfully when they reach high school the school has sizes that can catch up to her.
 * Troubled but Cute
 * Wind Is Green: Green is her image color, and in the manga she had a joint power of creating hurricanes, typhoons and tornadoes of flower petals and such.
 * You Sound Familiar: Her Japanese voice actress, Emi Shinohara, had previously played a youma in episode 6 (one of the episodes that wasn't translated by DiC).

Minako Aino/Mina - Sailor V/Sailor Venus
Voiced by: Rika Fukami (Japanese), Stephanie Morgenstern (English, Classic, R, and movies), Emilie Claire Barlow (English, S and Super S), Maria Fernanda Morales (Latin American Spanish), Claudia Lössl (German), Eleonora Prado (Brazilian Portuguese, Classic), Priscila Concepción (Brazilian Portuguese, R - Stars), Cristina Paiva (European Portuguese)

A description of the character goes here.

"Minako: You got me. Yeah, I've sworn my life, to my one and only..."
 * Action Girl
 * Attractive Bent Gender: When she disguised herself as a male Infinity student in the manga.
 * : In the live-action version.
 * Barrier Maiden: Her future self in Crystal Tokyo.
 * Blue Eyes
 * Broken Ace: In the live action. She's pretty, famous, and the best and most professional of the Senshi. However, she's dying and she's distracting herself by plunging into her duties as Senshi.
 * Broken Bird: In the live-action.
 * Brought Down to Normal: In the Super S manga, temporarily. This actually happened to everybody, and for the Inners it was the second time it had technically happened to them no less. Minako was just more obvious in her angst about it, and she was the last one to recover.
 * Bunny Ears Lawyer: Despite her general bumbling and ditziness in social situations, Venus is actually the most senior Sailor, and in the manga and live-action series she's easily the most battle-competent.
 * By the Power of Grayskull: "Venus power, make up!", "Venus star power, make up!", Venus Planet Power, Make up! (manga) "Venus crystal power, make up!", "Moon Power, Make-up!" During her days as Sailor V
 * The Chick (anime), The Lancer (manga), Sixth Ranger (live-action)
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: in the manga and anime, she tends to act as a ditz, yet... For the anime, see Plucky Girl entry. In the manga... Well, the very first thing she does upon appearing in person in the main series was hacking Zoisite into many pieces, and that was right after he had just defeated Sailor Mars and Jupiter making it look easy.
 * Cool Loser: Slightly
 * A Day in the Limelight: Out of all the other senshi, Minako gets the most episodes focused on her, which add up to a total of fourteen whole episodes. This might be due to the fact that she got such a late entrance into the series, taking a mere thirty episodes for her to appear.
 * Early-Bird Cameo: Created before the show's official debut. She also has a "blink and you miss it" cameo in Episode 1 of the anime.
 * Elemental Hair: Her Hair of Gold hints at her light element affinity.
 * Flanderization: In the anime, she gets ditzier and less mature each new season rather than the other way around.
 * Fun Personified: As Sailor V at least.
 * Genius Ditz
 * Genki Girl: Except in the live-action version.
 * Giant Waist Ribbon: Super Sailor Venus, Eternal Sailor Venus.
 * Goggles Do Nothing: As Sailor V. Unlike Moon and Mercury, her mask is just a mask.
 * Hair of Gold: Modeled after Venus, God of Love, Beauty and Fertility.
 * Idol Singer: Is one in the live-action, wants to be one in other media.
 * Ill Girl: Live-action only.
 * In the Name of the Moon: "For love and beauty, I am a sailor-suited pretty soldier: Sailor Venus! In the name of Venus, I will deliver divine punishment!"
 * I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: In one episode of the first season that was cut from the english dub.
 * : In the Live Action.
 * Lethal Chef: As the infamous "Nurse Mina(ko)" for Rei.
 * Light'Em Up: Many of Venus' attacks exhibit a golden glow.
 * Love Freak: Even her attacks revolve around love.
 * Malaproper
 * Nurse with Good Intentions: Tries to nurse Rei, but It Got Worse.
 * Obfuscating Stupidity: Implied in the manga. While having a discussion with Rei following  Minako tells Rei that they'll rescue them, and then it's back to normal high school life. Minako does her usually ditz thing, saying life's all about boys and that she wants to totally do the "high school girl thing." The Three Lights arrive, and are not fooled, saying that Minako's already sworn herself to somebody (Usagi). Minako briefly drops the act.


 * Plucky Girl: Minako repeatedly displays tremendous willpower. Case in point: extracting the heart crystal or Dream Mirror always leaves the victim helplessly weak -- if at all conscious -- up to and including Sailor Senshi. Minako was the only exception to both rules; in the former case, she still managed to outrun Eudial, and in the latter, she broke free from the rack, transformed, and opened up a goddess-sized can of whoopass on both Amazon guys and their lemures. Yeah, you do not mess with Minako.
 * The Prankster: She's a known troublemaker.
 * Pretty in Mink: Wore a fur coat for a second, as a gag in one of the movies.
 * Surprisingly Good English: In the anime she can speak an almost accentless Queen's English. Then again, she has lived in London for a few months...
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: Tomboy to Rei's Girly Girl in the manga.
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: With Rei in the manga, type 2.
 * Whip It Good / Chain Pain / Variable-Length Chain: Her Venus Love Me Chain is basically an energy whip in the anime and an actual chain in the manga and live-action, which she wears as a belt.
 * Wholesome Crossdresser: She disguised herself as a male student in order to infiltrate the mysterious Mugen Academy in the manga.

The Sailors of the Outer Planets
Fanon nickname: The Outer Senshi

Setsuna Meioh/Trista - Sailor Pluto
Voiced by: Chiyoko Kawashima (Japanese), Jill Frappier (English, R as Luna Ball), Sabrina Grdevich (English, R and movies), and Susan Aceron (English, S), Anabel Mendez (Latin American Spanish), Rita Almeida (Brazilian Portuguese), Isabel Wolmar (European Portuguese, R) and Cristina Cavalinhos (European Portuguese, S and Stars)

A description of the character goes here.


 * Action Girl: Usually studies an enemy before acting, only action first in desperate situations.
 * Asexuality/Celibate Heroine: She's the only one of the Senshi who has never had a romantic interest, nor shown any interest in the opposite sex. This is, however, strictly in the anime, whereas in the manga it's implied she had a slight crush on King Endymion. When he compliments or is seen talking to her, Chibiusa noted that she blushed quite happily and actually smiled, something she's only seen Pluto do towards her. This is extended to the musicals, which take it as canon that Pluto is in love with Endymion but can't reveal her feelings under any circumstances.
 * Big Damn Heroes:
 * Cool Big Sis: Was one to Chibi-Usa, eventually becomes one to the Inner Senshi too.
 * Hospital Hottie: In the Stars manga and a few of the musicals, she becomes a school nurse.
 * Hot Gypsy Woman: Well, half-gypsy according to Word of God, but it still counts.
 * Hot Scientist: In the manga she was a Physics major in Keio University.
 * Improbable Weapon User: Her weapon is a GIANT KEY.
 * Lady of War
 * Magic Skirt: Even when blown back it stays in place.
 * Obstructive Code of Conduct: Pluto had three of them: 1: Don't let anyone use the Door of Space-time. 2: Don't leave your post at The Door of Space-time. 3: Do not use your powers to stop time. She still breaks all of them. There doesn't appear to be a punishment for the first two (that we see, at least) but the last one costs her life in exchange.
 * Really Seven Hundred Years Old: Her age is vague, depends on the continuity and is additionally complicated by time travel, but she's been at that post for a really, really long time.
 * Roma
 * Sugar and Ice Personality: Often the sugar with Chibiusa and formerly the ice to everyone else.
 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo (Oh, so much)
 * Time Stands Still: She can do that, but only at the cost of her life.
 * Well-Intentioned Extremist: She is with Uranus and Neptune in wanting to  to prevent what they believe will result in  . Generally, though, Pluto is less cynical than her fellow talisman-bearers.

Haruka Tenoh/Amara - Sailor Uranus
Voiced by: Megumi Ogata (Japanese), Sara Lafleur (English), Belinda Martinez (Latin American Spanish), Rosana Beltrame (Brazilian Portuguese), Olga Lima (European Portuguese)

A description of the character goes here.


 * Action Girl: Her Action-first bravado is eventually put at odds with Sailor Mercury.
 * Aloof Ally
 * Anti-Hero: She and Neptune are Type III in the anime (though they mellow into straight heroes later in the manga): Even if they're not happy about it, they want to  in the S arc, and
 * Battle Couple: With Neptune.
 * Bifauxnen
 * Biker Babe: Almost runs over Makoto too!
 * Boyish Short Hair: She's a tomboy and Butch Lesbian with short hair, in contrast to Lipstick Lesbian Michiru's long hair.
 * Blow You Away: Uranus World Shaking.
 * Butch Lesbian: Mostly in the anime
 * Commander Contrarian: In the anime, though it's more to provide a counter-balance to Usagi's blind optimism. And while Usagi ultimately proves right in the long run, Haruka's reaction to some of her more reckless actions are presented as extremely logical instead of being wrong for the sake of being wrong.
 * Even the Girls Want Her: Or more to the point, even the Straight Girls Want Her. Usagi has always been shown to be a bit bicurious, but in the anime both Minako and Makoto fall for her even after they learn she's not a boy.
 * : In the final episodes.
 * Gender Blender Name
 * Grumpy Bear: In the anime.
 * Handsome Lech: No, really! In the anime, she flirts with a lot of girls, including Usagi and a hotel maid who appears to reciprocate (or at least be flustered). In the latter case, Michiru walked in the room when Haruka was putting the moves on said maid. She seems to have long ago accepted this part of her partner and lets it slide...mostly.
 * Lightning Bruiser: Due to being a former track star, Haruka is quite the speedster, and easily.
 * Martyr Without a Cause
 * Magical Girl Warrior: Even has a sword.
 * Samus Is a Girl: In her introductory episodes.
 * Schoolgirl Lesbians
 * Statuesque Stunner: Tallest of the senshi.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: Tomboy to Michiru's Girly Girl.
 * Tomboy Princess: She'll power up and then literally kick your ass.
 * Well-Intentioned Extremist: See Anti-Hero above. This is mellowed a bit by working with the Inner Senshi, but Uranus and Neptune still occasionally resort to more extreme tactics.
 * Wholesome Crossdresser: She only cross-dresses some of the time in the manga rather than almost all of the time as in the anime, but Takeuchi tended to make her appear a little more physically masculine when cross-dressing.

Michiru Kaioh/Michelle - Sailor Neptune

 * Action Girl: Follows behind Uranus, with more grace.
 * Aloof Ally
 * Alpha Bitch: She is introduced as one in the manga, but this is just a front. She's more of a normal Ojou with small shades of Lovable Alpha Bitch.
 * Anti-Hero: Type III. See description for Uranus above.
 * Badass Bookworm: An established violinist, whose swimming ability is just as remarkable, and it becomes a surprise that Ami is able to keep up with her during a race. Also, during her fight with, she easily restrain hers, and the Sailor Stars opener shows that Michiru is quite capable of getting physical.
 * Battle Couple: With Uranus.
 * Curtains Match the Window: Aqua eyes, Aqua hair, even has an oceanic trend.
 * Elegant Classical Musician: Provides the page image, in fact.
 * Elemental Hair: Her blue-green hair indicates her power over water.
 * : In the final episodes.
 * Immune to Bullets: Eudial's death trap triggers bullets that fly from every direction. Neptune gets hit with every single one, until the guns are out of ammo. She survives, if only for a few moments, and it takes a blast from Eudial herself to finish her off.
 * Improbable Weapon User: Some of her attacks use a mirror or a violin.
 * Lady of War
 * Lipstick Lesbian
 * Magic Mirror: Deep Aqua Mirror, can attack with it, see the truth and is even a normal mirror.
 * Making a Splash: Her powers, unlike Mercury, are the forces and energy of the sea rather than pure water.
 * Martyr Without a Cause
 * Musical Assassin with a Stradivarius!
 * No One Could Survive That: See Immune to Bullets above.
 * Schoolgirl Lesbians: With Haruka.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: Girly Girl to Haruka's Tomboy.
 * Violently Protective Girlfriend: The whole deal with Eudial was triggered when she first took a hit for Haruka and got captured... and upon seeing Haruka coming to rescue her and fight Eudial, releasing herself and trying to stop her.
 * Well-Intentioned Extremist: See this trope under Uranus.
 * Wise Beyond Her Years: Despite being only about 16 when first introduced, Michiru is easily the most mature and refined of the Senshi.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Aqua-favoured.
 * You Sound Familiar: Barbara Radecki, who voiced Neptune in the English dub, also voiced Ikuko Tsukino.

 * Action Girl: Not quite as much as the others, but she's still pretty Badass.
 * Apocalypse Maiden: Has the power to destroy entire planets.
 * Badass Adorable: Even cuter in her baby form.
 * Blessed with Suck: See Healing Hands. And oh, half the tropes about her.
 * Blade on a Stick: Her Silence Glaive.
 * Bob Haircut: Down to the turtleneck line.
 * : Her  in the manga could qualify as this.
 * Creepy Child: Goth-like appearance. Mistress 9's sudden bursts don't help her either.
 * Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Black haired.
 * Elegant Gothic Lolita: Main colour is purple, secondary colour is black.
 * Good Scars, Evil Scars: In the manga, she's severely scarred !
 * Has Three Mommies: When . Her real, albeit dead, mother Keiko probably counts too.
 * Healing Hands: She has healing powers, which made her classmates brand her as a freak in the anime.
 * Ill Girl: Prone to frequent seizures and energy combustion.
 * Mysterious Waif: Her revealed identity as Saturn in the anime and manga makes her an instant target towards the rest of the Outer Senshi.
 * Person of Mass Destruction: Can destroy the world by bringing down the Silence Glaive, making her far and away the most powerful Senshi in the anime. Fanon likes to jokingly give her dojikko tendencies; one wonders what would happen if she just dropped it one day...
 * Purple Eyes: Matches her Sailor Saturn personality nicely.
 * : See above.
 * Romantic Two-Girl Friendship: Her relationship with Chibi-Usa has elements that resemble a Puppy Love version of the trope.
 * Shrinking Violet - She was so shy and withdrawn that, until Chibi-Usa came along, she had pretty much no friends.
 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo - Her eventual future form, if Mistress 9 is any indication.
 * Woman in Black: Many of her outfits are black, but she's an aversion personality-wise to avoid the obvious Squick.
 * Woman in Black: Many of her outfits are black, but she's an aversion personality-wise to avoid the obvious Squick.

Chibi-Usa/Sailor Chibi Moon


Names:
 * Usagi Small Lady Serenity
 * Chibiusa
 * Sailor Chibimoon
 * Rini (English dub)

Voiced by: Kae Araki (Japanese), Tracey Hoyt (English, R and movies), Stephanie Beard (English, S and Super S), Cristina Hernandez (Latin American Spanish), Úrsula Bezerra (Brazilian Portuguese), Fernanda Figueiredo (European Portuguese)

A description of the character goes here.


 * Animal Motifs: Rabbit, to the point that the Black Moon Clan call her "Rabbit".
 * Big Damn Heroes:
 * Bratty Half-Pint: At her worst.
 * By the Power of Grayskull: "Moon prism power, make up!", "Moon crisis, make up!", "Pink Moon crystal power, make up! (manga)"
 * Captain Ersatz: Pink-haired princess of a magical kingdom, who magically makes her adopted parents (or in this case, her maternal grandparents and uncle) think she's their daughter (or niece/cousin)? Sounds a lot like Magical Princess Minky Momo... (As a bonus, Momo's magical rod looks a lot like the one Moon had in... SuperS.)
 * Character Development: In the anime, she was more mature in S than she had been in R. By SuperS, however, she was wise beyond her years to the point of being more mature than the other senshi, her friends, and even adult characters-of-the-day. Chibiusa in the manga is noticeably less bratty and more shy than her anime version, though also having more genuine power.
 * Cheerful Child
 * Creepy Child: Occasionally, particularly in her first appearance.
 * Cute Witch: She's time-traveled from the future for unspecified training, and her powers are mostly trickery rather than anything useful for fighting.
 * Curtains Match the Window
 * Fear of Thunder: Like mother like daughter.
 * Flanderization: Her powers. In the manga she had legitimate attacks. In the anime, her one attack in S didn't work half the time, and the rest of the time it hurt the monster only as much as a hard spanking. By SuperS she lost any attacks at all and her only power was the ability to call Pegasus.
 * Generation Xerox: In the anime, Mamoru openly points out that she and Usagi are very similar personality wise.
 * Girlish Pigtails: Pink and pointy.
 * In the Name of the Moon: "For love and justice, I am a sailor-suited pretty soldier in training: Sailor Chibi-Moon! In the name of the future moon, I will punish you!"
 * Joke Character: As a fighter, specially in the anime. She starts to get a lot more powerful later in the manga, even able to collect her own team of Senshi and help Sailor Moon fight Galaxia.
 * Kid From the Future: Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion's daughter. Her real name is Princess Usagi Small Lady Serenity Tsukino. She liked the nickname Chibi-Usa so much, she added that to it as well.
 * Little Miss Badass: In the manga, where she's legitimately more powerful.
 * Little Miss Snarker: Towards Usagi.
 * Mega Twintails: Much wider than most pigtails in the series.
 * The Messiah: Not as much as Usagi, though.
 * More Than Mind Control: When
 * Plot-Relevant Age-Up:
 * Plucky Comic Relief: In the anime, expect her to become a Butt Monkey as soon as she gets into a fight. The first time she tried using the Pink Sugar Heart Attack says all. In the manga, there were a number of side comics that dealt with her fighting a number of bad guys alongside of Sailor Moon and occasionally Sailor Venus. These were usually very goofy villains, like a spirit who got power from cavity pains.
 * The Prankster: On Usagi.
 * Princesses Prefer Pink: Her senshi outfit.
 * Really 902 Years Old: In the manga, Chibiusa is much older than her anime counterpart (and mentions her exact age during one of the side stories); much of her own personal Angst derives from the fact that she has not been able to physically age since she was a toddler. Fortunately for her, after spending a lot of time with Usagi and Co. in the past and after tons of training, she appears to be 12-13 years old around the final arc of the manga. The anime seems to have cut this plot point out entirely and just presents her as a regular little girl.
 * Rose-Haired Girl
 * Shrinking Violet: Has some shades of this in the manga.
 * Sibling Rivalry: She and Usagi act like vitriolic siblings: they poke and bother each other, but are very mutually protective when push comes to shove.
 * Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Became this with Sailor Moon during SuperS.
 * Super-Powered Evil Side: Black Lady.
 * Tsundere: A distinctly non-romantic variant, but she's definitely a hard tsun type in R. To give an example, when she's trying to convince Usagi to go rescue Mamoru during the R movie, she whips out a handgun and shoots her in the face.
 * Whereas in SuperS, she's at her most dere.
