Sailor Mercury

## How Sailor Mercury joined the Tourney

Ami's most emphasized character trait is that she is enormously intelligent—in the anime and manga she is rumored by other characters to have an IQ of three hundred, while in the stage musicals. She is adept at English in both the musicals and the anime, this is stated as a fact and in the live action it was clearly, although briefly, demonstrated by the actress protraying her (actress Chisaki Hama was speaking to an english speaking character as her character was visiting the United States as a medical intern). Her peers view her with a mixture of awe and distaste, misinterpreting her inherent shyness as snobbery, and so she tends to have a difficult time making new friends. Ami is depicted as sweet, gentle, and loyal, as well as slightly insecure. She also dislikes the fights of Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars. Anne Allison describes her as "a smart girl who needs to relax", calling her "conscientious" and "studious", "everything Usagi is not". Early on in the story, she relies heavily on the approval of her mother, teachers, and friends, but as the series progresses she becomes stronger and more confident in herself. She is generally the most sensible of the main characters, and is often the only one embarrassed when the group has a dull-witted moment. As the story begins, she attends Azabu Jūban Junior High along with Usagi Tsukino and, later, Makoto Kino.

## Trivia

* Super Smash Bros. Tourney marks the first time Sailor Mercury, and the other Sailor Scouts, sleep, even though it is mentioned in an episode of Sailor Moon when she says "Serena, I don't want to be a nag, but we came here to study, not sleep!". Not only do they fall asleep when attacked by a certain move (such as Hypno's Hypnosis), but also during their fourth victory pose, in which they detransform into their regular selves and fall asleep. The sequel marks the second time this happens.
	+ Sailor Mercury is also sleeping under a tree with Soul Calibur's Talim, Street Fighter's Chun-Li, and Adeline from the Kirby series in Batman's ending.
