History:

In the manga, Sailor Venus was known as Princess Venus during the time of the Silver Millennium, and ruled her home planet from the Magellan Castle. In the Codename: Sailor V manga, Artemis stated that she was the incarnation of the goddess Venus, and Danburite confessed that when he was still Adonis, one of her subjects, he had loved her in secret. Though her home was on Venus, Sailor Venus was present at the ceremony where she and the other Guardian Senshi swore to protect Princess Serenity and faced Queen Nehellenia for the first time, and then seemed to take up primary residence on the Moon in order to protect the Moon Princess. She was the leader of the Guardian Senshi, and was shown retrieving Serenity from the Earth when she visited in secret to see Prince Endymion. During the war between the Earth and the Moon, she was the one who killed Queen Beryl with the Holy Blade, but she was eventually killed in turn and was reborn as Minako in the modern day.

(Artemis awaken Minako and she became Sailor V) Sailor V (from the Sailor V manga) she fought both the Dark Agency and common criminals, becoming famous before the other Senshi ever awakened. (In the anime, Sailor V briefly operated in London, England, until she returned to Japan and joined the group. In England, she was friends with Interpol officer Katarina and had a crush on a boy named Alan. It is not clear who in the Dark Kingdom might have been running operations in England, but after Sailor V joined the others in Tokyo, there was no talk of Youma or anything else attacking England.) When she finally joined with the Sailor Team, she originally pretended to be the Moon Princess until Sailor Moon awoke as Princess Serenity. Sailor Venus died with the other Guardian Senshi during the battle against Queen Metalia, but was later revived with the other Senshi by Sailor Moon. 

When the Black Moon Clan appeared she battled Calaveras and went to the 30th century to continue the fight until Death Phantom was defeated. Sailor Venus' powers were eventually upgraded by Neo-Queen Serenity and she reached her "Super" form along with the other Sailor Senshi near the end of the Infinity arc. In the Dream arc, she was the last to regain her powers, until she was attacked by Xenotime and Zeolite and rescued by Artemis, who gave her the Venus Crystal which allowed her to transform directly into her Super form and upgrade her Chain to the Love Whip. She later appeared in her princess form, along with the other Senshi, in order to give Sailor Moon the power of their castles and allow her to transform into Eternal Sailor Moon.

She underwent the last upgrade of her powers and costume in the Stars arc, during which her Sailor Crystal was stolen by Sailor Galaxia after her fight against Sailor Lead Crow. Sailor Galaxia later threw the stolen Sailor Crystals of the Solar System Senshi into the Galaxy Cauldron, where they melted, but Sailor Moon retrieved all of her fallen friends from the Cauldron and they were allowed to return to their former lives. In the future, it was shown that Sailor Venus was loyal to Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion, and she protected Crystal Tokyo along with all her comrades.

RP Sample: 

Minako let out a heavy sigh. She was starting out her bedroom window watching it rain. Today was such a boring day. Why couldn't rain on a school day? Today was Saturday and she originally made plans to have a picnic in the park with her friends. Minako sat up her chair and told herself she shouldn't let this get to her!

"Artemis!" She cried. "I don't care if it's raining the picnic is going to happen!"

Minako's guardian was stretched out on her bed trying to take a nap. He opened one of his eyes and stared at his owner in annoyance. "And how will you do that?"

"Have it indoors of course!" Minako then walked over to her dresser and picked up her phone. "I'll just have them come over here. Knowing Mako she had the food all ready the night before. It would be a shame for it to go waste."

"Shouldn't you ask your parents first?"

"Oh, I guess I should do that first, huh?" Minako replied and laughed sheepishly. She then ran downstairs to go talk to her mom.
