She is usually seen wearing her school uniform. The uniform consists of a white long sleeved blouse with red sleeve cuffs and a red notched sailor collar with a white stripe. There is a red pleated skirt with a frilly white petticoat underneath, the frills can be seen peeking out. A blue tie is tied underneath the collar and there is a white triangular area underneath the collar that run adjacent to the collar. The triangular area has a red stripe on it. She wears dark teal stockings and black ballet flats.

She wears white fingerless gloves with three light cyan arm fittings that go up to the elbows and a dark cyan ribbon on her left wrist. Sailor Mercury wears light cyan ankle boots with triangular points on the top and white trim on the top. She additionally wears a golden tiara with a light cyan gem in the center, dark cyan choker, three blue-green stud earrings in each ear, and a light cyan manicure.

## Sailor Mercury

Neo Sailor Mercury is the technical title for the second Sailor Guardian named Sailor Mercury that is used to differentiate between the different holders of the name. Because her grandmother is no longer actively using the title of Sailor Mercury, Miyabi assumes the name Sailor Mercury rather than Neo Sailor Mercury,

Sailor Mercury is a member of the current generation of Sailor Guardians, the title passing down from mother to daughter based off of generation. Sailor Mercury has powers over water, ice, snow, and mist.

Miyabi can transform into Sailor Mercury by calling out her transformation phrase as long as she has her transformation item with her.

### Attacks

* **Pond Orb**
* **Melody of Rivers**
* **Douse Yourself in Water and Repent**
* **Deep Freeze**

## Nomenclature & Etymology

### Etymology

**Miyabi** is written with the kanji 雅 which means "elegance, grace."

**Aoki** is the combination of the kanji 青 (blue, green) and 気 (spirit, heart, mind). As such, it means "blue spirit."

When her name is written in the Japanese naming order, her name means "blue spirit's elegance."

## Trivia

* Miyabi currently has the most named attacks out of everyone so far with 5 named attacks.
	+ She also is currently the only Neo Sailor Guardian to use an attack by her predecessor.
* Her birthstone is emerald, which means that she was born sometime in May. She is most likely a Gemini because Gemini's ruling planet is Mercury.
	+ According to Navaratna, Emerald's ruling planet is Mercury. However, it is unknown if Navartna will dictate birth months or if it had any influence on selecting Miyabi's birthstone.
* She is the only character so far to have a confirmed birthstone and therefore a confirmed birth month.
