Sailor Venus!

Sailor Venus was the first of the sailor senshi (scouts) to be awakened. She was in england when she met the cat artemis who gave her a magical pen that could transform her into the sailor soldier of beauty and light... Sailor Venus! While in england she adopted the codname Sailor V (and thus the title of the series prior to Sailor Moon) and fought a small branch of the dark kingdom (or negaverse in the english dub) called the dark agency. While in england she made friends with an interpoll officer named Katarina.

AS SAILOR V

While she was in england she went by the alies Sailor V and became the resident super heroine. Dring the later half of the Codname: Sailor V series she fell in love with a man named Alan, but could not it clear to him. Dring the last two volumes she decided to tell Alan that she loved him, until Salor V was ambushed by Danbourite (the leader of the dark agency) there was a huge battle that led to the battle location (a warehouse on the outskirts of London being obliterated by sailor V's sailor full power Creasent Beam attack and Danbourite's dark energy. Katarina (whom had been watching the fight from outside with the other interpoll oficers) thought that her friend Minako had been killed, and Alan consolled her, but sailor V was actually watching from the shadows, so she left for Tokyo with Artemis to let them be together.

AS SAILOR VENUS

After she returned to Tokyo Artemis informed her that the other Sailor Senshi had been awakened and that she was the princess of the planet Venus and that it was time for her to drop the alies Sailor V and finally become Sailor Venus. Minako did as she was told, but not before saving the other Senshi and Tuxedo Mask from Kunzite and Zoizite. Much to Sailor Moon's happieness Sailor V reavieled to them that she was the Fifth Sailor Senshi... Sailor Venus! With the team all togetherthe final battle with the evil Queen Beryl aproached. On the way to D point sailor Venus was the 3rd senshi to be killed by the DD Girls, all though, it can be considered a suicide move. What happened was Sailor Moon sat to rest, and the ground beneath her started to glow red, Sailor Venus pushed Sailor Moon out of the way and was grabed by a DD Girl's vines. Sailor Moon then offered them the Silver Crystal in exchange for Sailor Venus, but sailor venus said (and I quote) "Sailor Moon! if you give up now I will never forgive you! You Have To Defeat Beryl! Now Go!" Sailor mars then foribly drags Sailor Moon away. Sailor Venus is then pulled under ground were she comes face to face with a DD Girl. Then she puts her right index finger between the DD Girl's eyes' and screams out "Creasent Beam Smash!" Obliterating the DD Girl and killing herself in the process. Sailor Venus's role in the series stays pretty much the same throughout the rest of the series. Some fans consider Sailor Venus/Minako to be a combonation of Usagi/Sailor Moon and Rei/Sailor Mars, not just in looks (i.e long hair:R blonde:U) but in personality, while as Minako she is goofy and playful like Usagi, and while as Sailor V/Venus she is serious and powerful (though some think that this is because she can take control of her goofieness when she wants and supresses it as a senshi, rather than a split personality).
