* SeenItAll: She's been this ''before meeting Artemis'': when Artemis first approached her under the shower she treated him like ''a common pervert'' and tossed him out of the window while shouting at a pervert, and was awfully quick to accept he was indeed a talking and sentient cat and not a trick (and she ''had'' considered this).

* SuperStrength: She doesn't throw around people like Makoto, but [[InASingleBound can casually jump one or two stores high]] and from roof to roof, feats that require great strength that not even Makoto is able to perform.

* CloseRangeCombatant: The manga version of Sailor Venus has beaten half to death multiple monsters of the week with punches and (most importantly) kicks, when untransformed defeated a BrainwashedAndCrazy Makoto with ''[[OneHitKO one kick]]'', and even killed a youma and ''Queen Beryl'' with sword strikes. The anime {{downplay|edTrope}}s this, but she still engages youma with a chain at short distance from time to time and has been shown killing a youma with a kick.

* IWorkAlone: In [[Series/PrettyGuardianSailorMoon PGSM]] and Anime/SailorMoonCrystal, she refuses the guardians' help to fight against the Dark Kingdom, though she is much more gracious about it in ''Crystal''.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In Codename: Sailor V, she is short-tempered, fist-happy, selfish, and depresses Artemis with her dismissive treatment of him (he actually runs away from her, only for her to not have even noticed). Her original motivation for working as Sailor V was simply to make the local police look like chumps, rather than to save people. However, she protects students from bullies, breaks up fights, and is willing to fulfill her destiny as a guardian no matter what. Also, she is fiercely protective of Sailor Moon.
* TheJuggernaut: In ''Manga/CodenameSailorV'' her standard tactic was to plow into hordes of {{Mooks}}, kick them to death or into unconsciousness depending on them being minor youma or brainwashed humans, and then brutally murder the youma. She stopped doing it in the last chapter, when she finally faced youma from the main Dark Kingdom, but had a last hurrah in her introduction in the main series.

* DemotedToComicRelief: Early in the original anime, Sailor V was established as a powerful crime fighter and become one of the main characters when she joined the group as Sailor Venus. As the series progressed, she became more of a goofy, ditzy, boy-crazy comedy character. Usagi acted that way herself early on but had grown as a character, and Rei took the spot of TheLancer that Minako played in the manga, so Minako got pushed to the side and was relegated to comic relief.

* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: In many ways, Makoto and Minako are exact opposites in their personalities: Makoto being [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak outwardly tomboyish while inwardly feminine]], and Minako being outwardly feminine while inwardly tomboyish. While still looking very girly, fantasizing about boys, and having an idol career, Minako was also a GamerChick when few girls dared to even come near an arcade ([[ItMakesSenseInContext and was once mistaken for a drag queen for this]]), talks in masculine slang and even swears, [[LethalChef can't cook]], scarfs down food you normally find in places where no girl would go alone.
