- oooOOH my god. Weird bedroom habits would be the fact that she has a small death child visit her at midnight sometimes. Love u Pharos.
Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does she fit type?
- 1992 is the year of the monkey. The positive traits fit, but the negative ones don't. Except for restless. Boy is she restless. Her exact birth date isn't known. I think she could be a Sagittarius.
2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in her life?
- Neither.
3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?
- Life is short! Carpe Diem! Memento Mori! All that stuff. Live like you'll die tomorrow. It started after her parents' accident. She took this way of thinking after seeing how quickly someone could be gone forever.

Daily Life

- Tartarus brings in the $$$$ so she is loaded for a high school kid.
2. What is her social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected her?
- She's a popular subject in school. It happens when you live in a dorm with two of the most popular senpai. I feel like she moved around constantly before settling in Iwatodai for a year, so she never stayed long enough to gain a social status anywhere. It's all new to her.
3. Where does she live? House, apartment, trailer? Is her home her castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does she share it with others?

- Student and resident hero. She likes school and even though it's tedious, she enjoys fighting shadows. It helps people.

- Eating. Spending time with friends. Like I mentioned before, she likes sewing, baking, and tennis.
7. What are her eating habits? Does she skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods?
- When she eats, she eats. Minako must have the best metabolism ever since she will out eat anyone in S.E.E.S.
