	Time for another in my series of semi-random characters judged
from a marriagiabily POV, This time, a lovely from the Sailor Moon series. 

AMI MIZUNO (aka Sailor Mercury, Amy Anderson)
	
	Looks:  Average to good.  She's a bit skinny, but will doubtless
fill out as she grows.  When she's off guard, she sometimes has a pained,
sad expression, which might be a great loneliness, or possibly just
headaches.
	Smarts:  Very book smart, and she gets excellent grades.  She
could use a bit more practical experience to give her confidence in her
plans.
	Personality:  Ami is quite shy, and will often bury her nose in a
book rather than meet new people.  She tries to be the voice of calm
reason among her friends.
	Cooking:  Given her parents' usual absence, she can probably
handle simple cooking chores herself, though I'd bet she eats a lot of
instant ramen and microwavable package foods.
	Fighting Skills:  Better than she looks.  While she prefers
information gathering and distraction roles, if forced into solo combat
she can defend herself quite handily.  Also, her brains allow her to
outsmart opponents.
	Special Abilities:  As Sailor Mercury, various water/cold-based
attacks, plus a special computer/visor set.
	Competition:  That psychic kid (Greg in the DIC version?) He might
be able to head you off with his precognitive abilities, but if he "sees"
that you're going to win her heart anyway, he'll probably just give up.
	In-Laws:  Ami's parents are almost invisible; we see her mom maybe
once(?) and her dad has long been separated from her.
	Economics:  Ami wants to be a doctor, which means a few lean years
while she attends medical school and pays off her student loans. (Less
than many, due to Mom helping out.) After that, she should be prosperous,
if you don't mind her being on call all the time.
	Sex:  Underconfident.  She knows about the anatomy from her
pre-med courses, and will probably study the latest manuals before the big
event.  But the real thing?  She'll need a slow and caring lover to thaw
her nervousness. 

	Overall:  For those of us who value an intelligent conversation
above all, a good choice.  But having been abandoned by the man in her
life before, it'll be hard for her to trust, and her chosen career could
put a strain on the marriage.
