Minako...another ditz, but not quite as much as Usagi.  She was once a movie star called Sailor V who protected London from evil.  She had her own comic books and dolls.  When she lived in London she fell in love with a man (Alan)  whom she thought was in love with her until she saw him with another woman (when she was Sailor V).  One episode that was cut in the Dub was about this relationship and how she finaly lets go of him. (Translation of title= Sailor Venus' past!  Minako's bitter love)
Sailor VShe looks at a picture of them and remembers
AlanShe throws away the picture, symbolizing the end
