Subject: Marriage Prospects: Now, Ami

	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.
