Quote:Huh. I can't remember now if their conversations had ever suggested she wasn't actually the Princess... you could be right, which would be very interesting indeed.
(there were moments where I was truly convinced that she believed she was the Princess. It was the only thing that explained some of her behavior. It did make me look at Artemis approvingly, since it suggested, IMO, that he had fostered this decepticon and that's rather cold and calculating.)
Quote:Oh, yeah. Minako does have a bit of an ego problem, doesn't she?
I think 18 had her doing the bit with trying to outdo Rei about helping the dog. And that just....geh.)
For those who tuned in late, Minako and Rei were helping a Catholic priest nurse a sick dog back to health. After Rei finds out that Minako is a) Sailor Venus/the Princess and b) the idol singer Usagi spazzes over, they end up in a rather childish competition over who can do more for the dog. Example: They insist on calling the dog different names. Minako pulls up at the church just as Rei walks up with a bag of dry dog food; Minako immediately has her driver take her away, then shows up later with several large cartons of the "highest quality" canned dog food. When a poster is needed to alert the dog's owner that he's been found, Rei volunteers, but Minako breaks out her junior Michaelango paints kit and does this monster poster easily a meter by a meter and a half, with a full-color, full-body painting of the dog. (More evidence, here, of the Renaissance Woman Minako, since the painting is a very professional job.) They spend the better part of the episode trying to show each other up.
