Then she joined them as the Senshi of Love and Beauty, Sailor Venus. Like Usagi, she has a guardian cat named Artemis. He trained her in much the way Luna trains Usagi.<br/><br/>Senshi Attacks: Cresent Beam, Cresent Beam Shower, Love Me Chain.<br/><br/>Notes:  In the Moon Kingdom, Minako was the chosen successor of the Venusian Crown.  She was merely days from being crowned Queen when she first died at the hands of the Negaverse during the assault on the Moon.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><br/>Name: Kou Ai Kensu<br/>Knight Identity: Venus Knight<br/>Element of Influence: Energy/Metal<br/>Age: 18<br/>Birthdate: May 23rd<br/>Height: 5' 4"<br/>Weight: 150 lbs<br/>Blood: B<br/>Hobbies: Martial Arts & video games<br/>Fav.
