Sailor Venus’ real name is Minako Aino, a young girl who discovers she is the protector of the planet Earth. She is the first Sailor Scout to be awakened to her true destiny by the cat, Artemis. Even though Sailor Moon is the most famous of the Sailor Scouts and leads them in battle very “famously”, Minako is technically the true leader of the Sailor Scouts. For a time, she misled her foes into thinking she was the actual princess of the moon. She did this to keep them off the trail of the real princess she was searching for.
