Quote:To my knowledge, no, none of their conversations have presented as if she wasn't the Princess. Yet, there's still the undercurrent and the comments here and there that suggest she -knows-. (back around 8 or so, I was fully convinced that she knew it all, and was running interference with full knowledge that she wasn't the Princess.) Then, we get her first meeting with Usagi and the whole bit where she had a REAL problem with Usagi's carefree attitude.
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.
I suppose part of my problem could be from the fact that I know what's going on here, more or less, and the way this is being handled is crossing signals with the information in my head, etc, etc. But she acts as if she is only the decoy at certain moments(like when giving Rei the big 'stay with Sailor Moon and the others' bit, that got Rei to thinking), but in their private conversations between her and Artemis, they continue the fiction(note: 10 or 11 when she is agog over Usagi being Moon that she doesn't go to the Planetary Festival thing. And Artemis says to her: Aren't you going? You're the Princess!")
So, all in all, I'm still liking the way this is being handled, but parts of the Minako thing are just baffling me completely, since they seem contradictory.
