Which Sailor Moon Character Are You?
Sailor Moon is a Japanese manga that came out in the shōjo manga magazine called Nakayoshi from 1991 to 1997. The series has gained widespread universal appeal, mainly with it being praised for its characters, its art direction as well as its unique humour. Being one of the best-selling manga series of all time, it’s left a big impact with its characters and writing. So let’s take a look at the cast of Sailor Moon and see, out of all the unique characters, which ones you might resonate with the most!
A Look At The Colourful Cast of Sailor Moon
Sailor Moon is known not just for its cute art direction and fun storytelling that brings everyone from all age groups and both boys and girls together but also for its unique characters whom everyone can relate to on some level. Let’s take a look!
Usagi Tsukino/Serena — Sailor Moon
Being the protagonist of the series, on the surface, she is merely an ordinary high school student, but one day she discovers through the appearance of her Mentor, Mascot Luna, she discovers her own powers and realizes that she is a warrior who must protect the earth from that which threatens to destroy it. Usagi’s personality can be described as being the kind that would be the main heart of the story. She’s very empathetic and emotional, even in some cases being seen as a bit of a crybaby and having a strong propensity towards loyalty and virtue. If we were to look at it from the MBTI (Myers Briggs Personality Types), we could see that she is an INFP. She is a thoughtful idealist but also has some of the more negative traits of the INFP, such as her being lazy and wanting to play video games all day, as well as eating sweets, not enjoying mathematics at all and ignoring her responsibilities. In short a bit of a flawed and human character, which makes her so endearing to fans of the series.
Ami Mizuno/Amy — Sailor Mercury
A shy blue-haired girl, insecure but intelligent. As a person, she tends to obsess over her grades a great deal and is a bit timid. She is a very loyal friend. Among all the Sailor Moon characters, she is the one with the most analytical and logical personality. What Sailor Moon lacks in technical expertise, Sailor Mercury makes up for it. In terms of MBTI, she is an INTJ, which helps to explain her logical and technical nature, not only helping her be a strong asset to the team but also adding a logical touch to the rest of the cast of characters.
Makoto Kino/Lita — Sailor Jupiter
Although she holds the appearance of a tough, tall and terrifying woman, looks can be deceiving, Makoto is quite friendly and nurturing. She is the strongest physically of the whole team. Her hobbies include cooking and working out. Even before becoming a guardian, she was known for being a bit of an action girl and, fighting off at her schools and protecting Usagi from a gang of thugs. In terms of MBTI, she is very extroverted, which indicates that she is an ESFJ. In many ways, she handles social situations well and tends to get along with people. However, she’s also sensitive and can become easily upset at times.
Minako Aino / Sailor Venus
The most experienced of the group, before becoming part of the Four Soldiers Of The Guardian Gods, she fought for a whole year, presenting a unique and individualistic personality at one point, she even left the group to go back to her volleyball team that she had to quit because of her responsibilities of saving the world, but gets pulled back in. She can be described as an ESTP which is because she is friendly, outgoing, enthusiastic and flexible one of the things that makes her unique is the fact that she tends to be obsessed with getting a boyfriend or being crazy over boys she finds attractive.
Rei Hino/Raye — Sailor Mars
Sailor Mars possesses strong psychic abilities on top of her abilities as a Sailor Guardian. She varies as a character from one adaptation to the next; however, in all the versions, she is a strong and capable fighter and one of the closest friends of Usagi. However, they do occasionally have some animosity between them. At times, she tends to be quite distant with her colleagues but at the same time, she is not quite a loner either. She is very logical and pragmatic but also deeply spiritual at the same time, which shows in the fact that she holds a strong enthusiasm for ancient writing. She can be described as being an ENTJ.
Setsuna Meioh/Trista — Sailor Pluto
Setsuna Meioh is quite aloof as she has spent nearly a millennia being isolated, and although she takes her job quite seriously, she has a soft side to her, which makes her more willing to even break the rules a bit for the people that she cares about the most. She’s very hard-working, diligent and composed. As a result, she would fall under the ISTJ personality type.
Haruka Tenoh/Amara — Sailor Uranus
Amara is the most pragmatic of the guardians, so much so that in many ways, she even exhibits beliefs such as the ‘ends justify the means’ by being willing to sacrifice lives for the greater good. This is quite damaging to her. However, she never admits this. In terms of appearance, she’s quite tomboyish looking but eventually starts wearing more feminine outfits. In terms of personality out of all the Sailor Moon characters, she’s fiercely independent, resisting what society expects from her, and has the mindset of not caring what anyone thinks of her. At the age of 16, she was even a race car driver. In terms of MBTI, she is an ISTP.
Michiru Kaioh/Michelle — Sailor Neptune
Graceful, elegant and sophisticated. Sailor Neptune is very observant, very in tune with nature as well as being very practical. She is fiercely dedicated to her work as a Soldier Of The Outer Solar System. This makes her, in many ways, an ISFP.
Hotaru Tomoe — Sailor Saturn
One of the most complex and deep characters in the story, Sailor Saturn is part cyborg, possessed by the Daimon mistress nine and secretly harbours abilities to destroy entire worlds. A great deal of her behaviour falls under the INFJ personality type. She is sensitive, insightful, and has visions of impending disasters. She is conceptual and symbolically focused. Among her quotes is “I am an emissary from the abyss of Death. Protected by Saturn, the Outer Planet of Destruction, the Guardian of Silence. I am Sailor Saturn.” With her strong words and the ability to back them up, she can definitely talk the talk and walk the walk!
The Joy Of Sailor Moon And It’s Characters
Every Sailor Moon character has something unique about them, be it their fierce independence in the case of Sailor Uranus or laziness and love of sweets like with the protagonist Sailor Moon, and that’s what makes the manga such an enjoyable read for so many fans. So which Sailor Moon Character are you? Who do you relate to the most?
