Anime Eureka

   

    Sailor Mercury (セーラーマーキュリー, Sērā Mākyurī) is one of the central characters in the Sailor Moon metaseries. Her real name is Ami Mizuno (水野 亜美, Mizuno Ami, or Amy in the English versions), a genius schoolgirl who can transform into one of the series’ specialized heroines, the Sailor Senshi.

    Sailor Mercury is the first member of the Sailor Team to be discovered by Sailor Moon, and serves as the "brains" of the group. Her powers are associated with phases of water, and she can use her supercomputer to quickly analyze a foe in battle.

    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 this is stated as a fact. She is adept at English in both the musicals and the anime. 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. 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.

COMMENT:

    Ami Mizuno is my favorite character in Sailor Moon series. I even wanted to be just like her – smart, shy and very well mannered. Unfortunately, it all turned out to be the opposite. Ami’s character is one of the ideal role model for children to be able to follow their dreams and achieve it with following such character. I’ve always wanted a shy-type kind of character since it all started from this character – Ami Mizuno.
