Ami Mizuno (Sailor Moon)

**Ami Mizuno**, also known as **Sailor Mercury**, **Amy Anderson** and **Guardian of Wisdom**, is one of the main characters from the *Sailor Moon* series.

## **Charactah Account**

Ami is the first Sailor Guardian to join Sailor Moon in her fight, is a kind but insecure prodigy renowned for her genius intellect. Although she's timid and tends to obsess over her grades, she's a loyal friend and a worthy addition to the team. Her sharp mind and analytical abilities make her the strategist of Sailor Moon's inner soldiers.

Ami was a shy girl who did not make friends easily, preferring to be alone with her books instead. On her free time, she studies or attends Cram School, even during summer vacation. Her classmates mistook her withdrawn nature for arrogance, so they did not approach her either until Usagi started doing so. She studied very hard and regularly finished at the top of national exams, leading her classmates to speculate that she was superhuman and had an IQ of 300. Math and science were her favorite subjects, and she was aiming to become a doctor like her mother. Once she got an offer to study medicine in Germany, though she preferred to stay in Tokyo. Usually calm and level-headed, she was the voice of reason of the Senshi team. The others often relied on her plans and analyses, but they often thought she should "loosen up" more.

Ami was a kind and gentle person who disliked quarrels and abhorred harming innocent people. This trait was even cited in the title of anime episode 122, where she persuaded Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune not to kill Hotaru. Like her comrades, her loyalty to Sailor Moon was unwavering, and she would sacrifice her life for her princess if necessary.

## **Trivia**

* Her favourite color is Blue.
* Ami, the kanji for *A* translates to "Asia", "rank next", or "come after". The kanji for *mi* translates to "beauty". So her first name could be either "Asian Beauty" or "Second Beauty".
* Mizuno, the kanji for *Mizu* translates to "water" while the kanji for *no* translates to "plains", "field", "rustic", or "civilian life". The syllable *no* also indicates possession, so while the literal translation of her family name may be "water field" or "water civilian", others may translate it as "of the water".
