Are you at least 15?: Y.
Current Characters: Ange Ushiromiya (denies), Kyouko Sakura (selfished)

Character: Usagi Tsukino / Sailor Moon
Fandom: Sailor Moon

History: Here. Or if you want summaries of every manga arc (I will be pulling her from the manga) you can look here.

Personality: Usagi is - as most magical girls - actually a very average girl aside from her powers. She's a normal school girl with a normal family - she argues with her little brother as siblings do and sometimes has slight arguments with her mother as she's being scolded for her laziness or clumsiness. She's a very carefree girl and is generally seen as very happy and enthusiastic. She loves typical things for a girl her age: cute little trinkets and accessoires (she's exactly too caught up staring at the brooch when she first gets it to pay attention to Luna's explanation), she loves food in all shapes and sizes (although she obviously prefers sweets much more than things like vegetables) and is a huge fan of videogames and manga, especially the Sailor V game in the local arcade she often visits. She does actually even admire Sailor V at first, thinking about how nice it would be to be such a cool defender of justice like she is. (And then becomes one herself almost right after, ironically enough.) Usagi is very easily excited by the smallest things - in that regard she's almost a little like a little child. She also tends to be a bit of a daydreamer; an example of this is when she and her friends hear stories about Sailor V and Usagi immediately starts imagining how cool it would be to actually become a sailor senshi herself before she discovers her own powers.

As you can see, her happy attitude and enthusiasm actually go as far as making her seem a bit simple or childish. (It's enough to often make people who find out Usagi is Sailor Moon comment that they can't believe such a girl is Sailor Moon.) This childishness can also be seen in (most early, but later on too) her relationship with Mamoru. Even though she likes Mamoru and he likes her, all they do at first is teasing and throwing insults at each other, almost as little kids who like each other do, rather than just admitting they like each other. This childishness can sometimes make Usagi seem overly whiny too (she pouts easily at things when they don't go the way she wants them to go) or perhaps a little selfish - but she doesn't mean to come across that way. She tends to have problems with taking the small things and responsibilities in life seriously (for example school or cleaning her room). She can become serious when it's required, especially when it concerns her friends or sailor senshi affairs, but when it's something light Usagi doesn't take it seriously very easily. Therefore she's also an underarchiever at school. It's not due to plain stupidity, but more due to a combination of slight laziness, preferring to have fun with friends rather than studying and her inability to take things seriously when not related to senshi business or friends. Usagi is also a little impulsive because of this. She doesn't think too much about things, but instead goes with her first instinct and just rushes ahead - which gets her into trouble a few times, but also saves the day during some other instances.

Another very dominant aspect of Usagi is how extroverted and outgoing she is. She has no trouble at all mixing in at any social situation and seems to have relatively little shame when it comes down to that too. She's the kind of person who is easy to spot, even from a distance, because of how extroverted she is. Usagi is constantly looking to make friends and be friendly to people, and because of her outgoing attitude she also tends to easily make friends. She also seems to have no trouble with being informal around people immediately; she calls practically anyone her age whose name she knows with their first name and then '-chan' attached. Yes, Usagi's method of making friends and being friends with people can be seen as slightly forceful at times. She's the type of person to force people out of their shyness and just have fun with her, which can be good and bad depending on the situation. You can see this in her relationship with the four other (inner) sailor senshi: in the R movie they all state they were alone before they met Usagi. Usagi is the kind of person who draws people in with her brightness and happy personality and makes them all stick together. Usagi has no problem at all with getting into other people's business or even dragging people into things or near-forcing her interests on them, but she doesn't mean any of it badly. She just wants to be able to share the things she likes with other people, and wants all of them to have fun as well.

Usagi does care a lot about her friends - and people in general - though. She always tries to see the good in people, even when the bad is sometimes overly obvious; in fact, she would rather try to reason with someone evil first before downright defeating them. Killing an enemy is only a last choice for her, and she would prefer to not resort to it. She is, after all, the kind of person who prefers being with friends over being alone. Being all alone is the one thing that can truly get her own at times - this is especially apparent during the Stars arc of the manga, in which Usagi's friends are killed one by one, leaving her all on her own. And that's when she actually starts to despair a little until she's snapped out of it. Even though Usagi might seem a bit selfish with her childish whining and her (although she doesn't realise it) tendency to butt in on people's business, she's actually a pretty selfless person. She would do anything for her friends and if someone asks her for her help, she immediately jumps in and gives it all her effort as long as it helps said person out. Usagi has a hard time leaving people who needs help alone, no matter whether they're friends, strangers or even enemies.

So, even though Usagi might be clumsy, childish, overly enthusiastic or a bit forceful, she does always have good intentions for everyone. And she does always try her best once she sets her mind on something, even just for her friends' sake or for the sake of her duty as a sailor senshi. Those are the times when she can start taking things seriously too and act a much less childish. Usagi is actually a pretty strong person - even when all odds are against her, she tries to remain optimistic that things will somehow end up right in the end. She also tends to hide her sadness when she's feeling down; she keeps it to herself and only cries about things when they get too much for her when she's alone if she can help it, and just cover it up with a smile the rest of the time. Usagi is prone to wearing her heart on her sleeve though, so she can't always cover it up really well. She's pretty serious about her duty as a sailor senshi and does really want to protect her planet and everything on it. She wants to fight for what's right and against injustice. She doesn't want to put one person before the planet - no matter whether that 'one person' is the person she loves or her own life. That being said, her first priority would be somehow trying to save everyone though, she doesn't want to have to sacrifice anyone as long as she can help it. But Usagi can make herself strong for the sake of the planet, for the sake of everyone on it and for her friends.

In the end, the line that's said at the end of the anime actually sums Usagi up pretty well - both her more clumsy and childish side and her serious side.

"I'm Usagi Tsukino, age 16, in the first year of high school. I'm a bit rash and a crybaby, but I'm actually the agent for love and justice, Sailor Moon."

Additional Links: an image of her!

First Person: Hey, hey, everyone! Good day! So.. I've been thinking a little, and I thought it might be a lot of fun if we could organize something to all do together! Nobody likes to be alone, right? So I was thinking about having an all-you-can-eat sweets party where absolutely everyone in this place could come! Nobody likes to be left out, right? So Usagi here will make sure that everyone can enjoy as many delicious sweet as they want to eat!

Aaah, can you believe how great it will be? [ a squeal. ] There would probably be really delicious cake - although it won't be Mako-chan's cake, and let me tell you that Mako-chan's cake is the best I've ever eaten in my life, but this will still have to do! I'm sure it will make a great second place cake in Usagi Tsukinoi's history of cake eating!

Everyone is coming, right? If nobody turns up and I'll have to eat all that cake by myself, I'd get really sad-- ah, but then I'd probably get happy again after because I'll have all of that delicious cake.. but I would still be sad that nobody showed up for a few good moments, okay? So I'm counting on all of you to not let me down! Don't make me have to drag you over there personally!

[ But from the smile on her face it's easy to tell she's just kidding. Probably. ]

Third Person: ( this sample is more based on the end of the manga, but since the first person sample is more focused on the beginning i thought i should show off both! )

She missed them. Even if she didn't say it out loud to anyone that was around at school, at home, even her own family, of course she would miss them. After all those long battles with various enemies she had just wanted more than anything to go back to her still slightly normal kind of life, just spending time with her friends and the person she loved. Going to the arcade with the other four girls, visiting Haruka and everyone else in their house, going on dates with Mamoru.. That sort of life was something she had just wanted all along, even if she knew protecting the planet was her duty. And it was a duty she didn't mind, but at the same time she just wanted a little bit of ordinary everyday happiness. Just being with her friends and smiling.. yes, that much would already be enough for her.

Maybe that's why she felt sad now Galaxia was taking her friends' Sailor Crystals one by one, even right in front of her as she was unable to stop it. On the outside nothing seemed that bad, with how normal life was here in the city and how many nice people were around, but her friends weren't here. She had already been lonely for long enough during previous battles, but that didn't mean she had gotten used to that lonely feeling. Quite the contrary; the feelings that had welled up in her during those times were now only increasing in strength. She wanted to see them, hug them, tell them she was so happy to see them again.. And yet she couldn't, not while they were gone, reduced to nothing more than crystals in Galaxia's hands.

But.. even though she felt sad, part of her knew she couldn't just sit around and feel sorry for herself. She would have to go and fight - for their sakes and her own, for the sake of the universe and the planet. She would have to go and get them back with her own hands, protect them just like they had protected her so many times before in the past. If only she can beat Galaxia, then.. then they'll all be waiting for her again, right? So it was just a matter of holding on just a little more, for her friends' sake as well. Holding on and fighting, and then maybe finally, finally gaining that piece of normal happiness all of them wanted all along.

Maybe that was why, in the end, she smiled a little to herself as she looked up to the ceiling from where she was lying on her bed in her room. She closed her eyes, for a moment, recalling the mental image of her friends on the inside of her eyelids.

"Thank you for everything so far, everyone." Her voice was warm and fond. "Please wait for me. I'll save you."
