I suppose I have some reason to favour Minako, she was after all our resident scout in England for the first 13 years of her life. She was Sailor V and fought evil here before joining the other senshi in Tokyo.�
A lot of the focus on Minako during the series revolves around her invariably problematic handling of people around her, which can be traced back to a curse put on her by her first boyfriend, who she subsequently killed. The curse was basically that she would never have another successful relationship and it turns out to be very real in the show.
There is no denying her similarity to Usagi: they are both academic misfits, absent minded and need cats to take care of them, but she is also very friendly and caring towards people.

Final Comments: Despite being knocked back on more than a few occasions, Minako is without doubt the nicest character in this series and maintains hope even when the odds are against her. Venus represents love according to Greek mythology and thats clearly the main influence here too.
