Character Name: Minako Aino
Age: 14
Series:
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (live-action)
Canon: Fighting evil by moonlight, winning love by daylight, never running from a real fight, she is the overly CGI live-action version of Sailor Moon! Determined to overcome the fate of the "past life," a time long ago when the Earth was vaporized by an unknown power, the Sailor Senshi have awakened in the modern day. Five middle-school girls transform into magical fighters to fight the evil forces of the Dark Kingdom. The leader of the group and first to fully recall the doomed past life, Minako Aino-- Senshi of love and beauty, Sailor Venus!-- is easily the least like her anime/manga counterpart.
When not saving everyone and their mother from the monster of the week, Minako lives life as a Japanese pop idol. She is known the world over but still manages to find time to sing for sick children at the hospital while simultaneously getting updates on her own brain cancer status. She is determined, focused and entirely willing to die to achieve her goals as Venus, which when combined with a hatred for losing equates one Super Serious Senshi. Minako is rarely seen smiling and uses her illness as an excuse not to get close to anyone; the fewer people who know her well, the fewer people will be saddened by her death.
In true idol fashion, Minako's songs carry the cast and story with their lyrics.
App post:
I know Manager said he'd be late, but it's been hours. Now we've got a late start on our hands. Where is he? The only thing I can be sure of right now is that he didn't wind up on the planet Mars. Yes, I already know he's a man, but that doesn't mean he went to his "home planet". I suppose you think I'm from Venus too right? I knew it. You don't have to say anything else. Let's just give this new song a try before the concert tonight. OK, here we go-- Music start!
♪ Come to camp (Like a star)
Make some friends (Like a star)
Accused of murder (Like a star)
The glove don't fit (Like a star)
Deny everything (Like a star) ♪
--I'm sorry, can we stop? I need to rest just for a moment. Can someone please look for Manager again? I want to go over these lyrics with him. There's something off about this whole thing . . . Now of course I don't mind coming all this way to do a benefit concert for little kids, but only for one? We have much more important things to do, even if this is a charity event. We don't have a lot of time to get ready, you know.
OK everyone, pay close attention! We only have one chance to get this right and that means everything has to go off without a hitch. There's no way we're ready to go on right now. For starters-- You in the purple suit! That won't do at all. I thought I made myself clear an hour ago. Not only is the theme not the jungle, but you've got to lose that sandwich board. "If you got the money we got your disease" is completely inappropriate. This is a concert for sick children, not a wildlife free for all. What don't you understand about its importance? Listen closely if you can. This is very serious business, so-- stop laughing! What's with this attitude?
Has anyone even prepared the lighting for the finale yet? I want to get the person in the letter onstage with me. Manager already agreed with me, so it will be fine as long as we know which seat she's in. Once we have that . . . Hey! Look alive, people! This is no way to treat our one chance. Honestly . . . Guess I just can't work with volunteers like this. They're going to pieces on me. Oh! They're here for the concert too, I guess? It is a Charity Fundraiser for Unusual Diseases.
OK everyone, let's call this a wrap and get some of you wrapped up. We can work the mummified look in somehow. It's got to make more sense than the jungle look in Louisiana. Thank you all for trying so hard today. Let's be sure to reach out and touch everyone in the audience-- especially lonely little Marcy. Everyone, let's take it from the top and remember! I want this to go just as planned.
