Detail of each ability is below -

"Bubble Spray!" - The least powerful of her attacks, Mercury fills the surroundings with a dense fog, clouding the enemy's navigatory abilities. At times Mercury has been known to make the fog so cold that it creates a sheet of ice upon the surface of her surroundings, causing her target's movement to be hindered.

"Shine Aqua Illusion" - Mercury's first offensive attack, this allows Mercury to use water as a projectile, lock her enemies in solid ice, or build a defensive wall of ice.

"Mercury Aqua Mirage!" - Only seen in the SuperS special "Ami's First Love," this attack summons forth a globe of water which can chase and then encapsulates the enemy.

"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!" - Ami's most powerful offensive attack, Ami uses her magical Mercury Lyre to bring forth powerful torrents of water, used to flood out the enemy and overpower them.

Ami can also speak English quite well. She is also capable of most first aid functions, due to her interest in medical studies.

Background:
In a past life, Ami Mizuno was known as the Princess of Mercury, the Senshi of Mercury, and one of Princess Serenity's loyal advisors and guardians.

Fast-forward to modern day. Ami Mizuno is the only child to two very successful parents. Her mother is a doctor who is very well-respected in her field while her father a traveling artist. At a young age, her parents divorced and Ami remained with her workaholic mother in a sky rise condo in Minato, Tokyo. Due to her mother consistently being absent, Ami learned from an early age to be self-reliant, and often entertained herself with books and other means of intellectual discovery. She was a naturally brilliant study, and was met with many successes through her academic career.

Ami continued throughout her childhood making excellent marks on her intellectual pursuits, spending what free time she had on her studies. She would attend cram sessions after school in order to get ahead of her peers in order to avoid long stretches of emptiness that would be greeting her were she to head straight home.

In her second year of junior high school, her fate took a drastic turn. For reasons that to this day elude Ami, she somehow caught the attention of Juuban Junior High's enthusiastic under-achiever, Usagi Tsukino. Brought together by Usagi's talking feline companion, Luna, Ami found herself taken with the natural likeability of the bubbly dumpling-headed girl. Ami followed Usagi to a popular arcade, and the two girls bonded over an arcade game. Ami was rather good at it, considering it was essentially a computer program. Ami achieved the game's top score before Ami realized she was running late and had to rush to her special "Crystal Seminar" cram session.

As it turned out, the cram session was actually one of the Dark Kingdom's plots to steal energy from the diligent students attending. With individual "Crystal Disks" distributed to each of the attendees, they were brainwashed and rendered unconscious. Fortunately for Ami, her disk was dropped in the rush from the arcade to the school, and it fell into the hands of Usagi, who had along with Luna discovered the truth behind the disk's contents.

Usagi and Luna snuck into the cram school under disguise, arriving just in time to save Ami from a certain death. She transforms into Sailor Moon to face off against the youma Garoben, leaving Luna to tend to the weakened and bewildered Ami. Although Luna had initially believed Ami to be one of the Dark Kingdom's henchmen, it was soon discovered that Ami was the Sailor Senshi of Intelligence and Water, Sailor Mercury! Bestowing upon the girl a transformation pen of her very own, Ami transforms and together with Sailor Moon defeats the youma.

This was the start of what was to be a new, unbreakable friendship.

Over the next few months, three new senshi joined the ranks, each cementing an equally strong friendship with Usagi and each other. Together, they found their Moon Princess (who was actually Usagi), sacrificed themselves for the sake of their Princess, and lent their strength to defeat Queen Beryl and Metallia once and for all.

They were once again reborn to Earth, as though nothing had ever happened. Ami continued her daily life as though she had never met Usagi, until one day Luna reawakened their memories of their pasts in order to defeat a new enemy.

Shortly thereafter, a mysterious little girl from the future appears named Chibiusa. She was searching for the legendary mysterious Silver Crystal which belonged to Sailor Moon. She needed it to save her mother back in the 30th Century. She was being chased after the Black Moon family under the influence of the Wiseman, who had his own plans for the Silver Crystal and the 30th Century city known as Crystal Tokyo. Chibiusa was in fact Usagi and Mamoru's daughter from the future, and the princess of Crystal Tokyo, where King Endymion and Neo Queen Serenity ruled peacefully. They go to the future, discover the existence of Sailor Pluto, and with the help of both the future and present Silver Crystal, the threat from the future is eliminated, and the city is saved, thanks to the Sailor Senshi.

Another threat appeared shortly after, along with new allies. The citizens of Tokyo were having their pure hearts taken from them. The Death Busters, headed by Professor Tomoe and his assistants, were looking for the talismans to bring forth the Holy Grail and awaken Mistress 9 and Pharaoh 90. Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune, who often clashed with the Inner Senshi, were also searching for the talismans, although they had them sealed within themselves. Hotaru Tomoe, Professor Tomoe's daughter, was not only possessed by Mistress 9, but she was the legendary Sailor Saturn, soldier of destruction. Chibiusa returned, befriending Hotaru while unaware of this information. With the talismans found, the Holy Grail came forth, and Usagi was able to transform into Super Sailor Moon. With this new found power, she was able to defeat the Death Busters and save Hotaru, who was to bring about the destruction of the world.

Peace does not last for long. During a solar eclipse, a circus tent appears in the middle of Tokyo, which was home to the Dead Moon Circus. Zirconia, along with the Amazon Trio and Amazoness Quartet, aim to steal people's dream mirrors in order to find Pegasus, whose true form is Helios, the guardian of Mamoru's Golden Crystal. Chibiusa and Helios grow close, and he helps her and Sailor Moon power up, also powering up the senshi during the conflict. The mastermind behind the Dead Moon Circus, Nehelenia, shows herself, and the senshi defeat the Dead Moon Circus and later, along with the help of the powered up Outer Senshi, Nehelenia.

The girls return to their normal lives, Mamoru leaves to study abroad in America, but not before proposing to Usagi. Usagi, now engaged, faces the latest threat without Tuxedo Mask to come to her aid. Sailor Galaxia, the galaxy's legendary golden senshi, aims to take true star seeds from those who have them. The Starlights, consisting of Sailor Starfighter, Sailor Starhealer, and Sailor Starmaker arrive to search for their missing princess, and fight alongside the senshi with a similar goal, though not as allies. One by one, Galaxia kills the senshi, taking their star seeds. Usagi defeats Galaxia, and all the senshi (including Ami) are revived. The Sailor Starlights and the revived Princess Kakyuu have return to Kinmoku, and the girls return to their daily lives.
Appearance:
Personality:
At first glance, Ami Mizuno is a stern, aloof, ambitious over-achiever. She has grown up accustomed to isolation, and appears to favor books and computers to inter-personal relationships. When she is being social, it is most often with teachers and authority figures, with whom she maintains the utmost level of formality.

In reality, Ami suffers from being cripplingly shy. She tends to over-think everything, and is her own worst critic. Human beings are unpredictable, and matters of the heart cannot be regulated in quantifiable means. As such, she is petrified of offending others, as she had dedicated much of her young life to analytical pursuits, rather than social niceties. Up until she met Usagi, her encounters with others were often formal at best, and void of any substantial depth. Ami is introverted to a fault, finding solace in her studies as both a means of escapism, fuel to her dreams, and a method to gain recognition and positive attention. Grades, exams, quizzes, assignments, research...all these things were familiar territory to Ami, and she found comfort in the familiar.

Luckily for her and those around her, she has a circle of friends who have opened her up and expanded her horizons. Through Usagi and the Inner Senshi, Ami has learned that people actually are interested in what she has to say, and that her knowledge serves a purpose other than scoring high on exams and excelling in a career. Ami began to take pride in not just her achievements, but her hobbies as well.

Over the years, Ami has gotten over the more debilitating aspects of her shyness, and is able to speak at considerable length to her friends about topics that she carries a considerable amount of knowledge on. Her knowledge of the sciences, literature, and history are almost encyclopedic, and she can often ramble about things if someone doesn't direct her in a conclusive direction.

Ami does hold an interest in other less-academic topics, though she does harbor those interests with a fair amount of secrecy. She enjoys pop music, romantic literature, ice cream, and anmitsu a great deal, though she goes to great lengths to keep her more frivolous passions under wraps. She also enjoys swimming a great deal, as the silence and weightlessness under the water drowns out the pandemonium of a busy city like Tokyo, and it's the only time when she sincerely feels like her brain stops going at its whirlwind pace.

Although Ami is gentle and quiet, she does carry a great deal of pride on her shoulders. It has developed over years and years of success as a top performer in school, and like most egos, it is a tragically fragile one. On one hand, while she enjoys being known as "the genius" in her circle of friends, there are times where she feels as though she has nothing more to offer the world. Perhaps it is the artistic side of her father peeking through her workaholic facade she comes by so honestly, but Ami wishes that she had a dream beyond gaining her doctorate. She is loathe to follow precisely in her mother's footsteps, especially after seeing the fulfillment that friendship and love brings.

On the other hand, there are also times in which she feels that she makes up for her friends' lack in dedication. Ami finds herself often exasperated at the lack of focus her friends seem to have at their study sessions, and often wonders if they ever take serious consideration towards their own futures...She has more than once been referred to as a slave-driver during these frequent gatherings, which only furthers her resolve to keep her friends on track.

RP Sample:
Ami awoke to the cold floor pressed up against her face. Her eyes snapped open, and the silence that once occupied her mind was quickly broken by her surprised gasp, followed by the sounds of her surroundings flooding in with no reservation.

There was no pain, at least. Her joints lurched into action as her arms slid upwards towards her face, pushing her up off the ground so she could look up and observe just where on earth she had been thrown to. Fortunately, it appeared to be night, and Ami's eyes didn't need to waste any time adjusting to the lack of light, as there were warmly-lit lamps lining the cobblestone streets.

Rising to her feet, she brushed the flecks of dirt off her face, working her way down to the mildly scuffed knees of her khaki trousers. She was suddenly finding herself grateful to be dressed in pants and loafers...as she got the distinct impression that she was going to be wandering about for a bit longer.

...how did she end up here, though? She remembered Galaxia...the Starlights, Star Seeds..."But Usagi-chan had saved us, hadn't she...?" She mumbled thoughtfully under her breath, bringing a knuckle to tuck comfortably under her chin, much as she was prone to do.

...Starlights...Usagi...they were saying their good-byes...everything was back to normal, and their futures were peaceful again...

"Then, why...?" Ami turned her heel, pulling her eyes forward to skim the rooftops reaching into the night sky. There were lights on in the windows, which meant there were residents. With a small, worrisome sigh, Ami's shoulders sagged, and she cracked a chiding smile. "Well, I suppose the only way to find answers is to ask around."
