Subject: Marriage Prospects: Makoto

	round and  round I go, and it's pretty certain where I'll stop.

MAKOTO KINO (aka Sailor Jupiter, Lita in the DIC version (which I
think is short for Hippolyta.))

	Looks:  Good.  Tall, and has impressive "talent."  Seems to have a
thing for laces.
	Smarts:  Average, but does poorly in schoolwork.
	Personality:  Assertive and independent.  One real weakness is her
tendency to be attracted to men on a superficial basis of resemblance
to her ideal.  She is constantly disappointed, but never seems to
learn from this.
	Cooking:  Excellent, along with other homemaking skills.  I am not
certain of her home life, but rumor has it she pretty much raised
herself.
	Fighting Skills:  Good.  She can certainly wipe up any ordinary street
thug, or a small group of them.  I think she was subconciously holding
back against Prince Endymion the one time they fought.  Whether she
could handle a Ranma 1/2 or St. Seiya fighter is another matter.
	Special Abilities:  Strong, as Sailor Jupiter has various
electric/wood attacks.
	Competition:  The arcade manager, any guy who fits "the profile."  The
manager has a fiancee already, thank you.  And if you're good to
Makoto, her profile will probably mutate to fit you better.
	In-Laws:  None known (to me)
	Economics:  Unknown.  She doesn't seem to need a part-time job to pay
for all the expenses we see her incurring.  Her goal in life is to
become a housewife, but she could easily earn her own way as a cook or
cleaning service if need be.  (And of course there's professional
wrestling, but they make you retire young in Japan...)
	Sex:  Would prefer to wait for marriage, but might be persuaded by a
fiance.  Probably a loud one.

	Overall:  A good choice if you can get through the rocky early
courtship as she openly ogles other men.  Things will be a lot easier
if you fit "the profile."

SKJAM!
