General Characteristics:
Libra is considered to be the most desirable sign of the zodiac. Librans are generally diplomatic, charming, sociable, and civilized. They are often good looking, and exude elegance and fine taste. They are very aware of the power of image. They are pleasure-oriented people, and love beauty and harmony both in art and in life. They are unhappy when surrounded by ugliness unless they can spiritually rise above it. They are at their happiest when they are socializing and at the top of their social strata. You will find many Librans in local organizations volunteering their time and services and rising to a position of prominence. They dislike coarse, dirty work, and will usually get someone else to do it, if necessary. They are idealists who must learn to find beauty in all things in order to live harmoniously. Librans have been gifted with a very strong sense of justice, and are known to be objective and impartial in judgement calls. They are fence-sitters who prefer not to choose a side on issues. They think long and hard before making any decisions, but are known to be quite indecisive and changeable. Their love of harmony in all things makes them adept at solving problems. They excel at debate, but are never argumentative. They are more interested in making peace, and are often willing to "go along to get along," doing whatever it takes to maintain a relationship. Discord makes them completely insecure and uncomfortable, and they will often cooperate and compromise, even give up when they feel that they are right just to avoid an argument. Libra is an intellectual sign, and they make excellent conversationalists. They enjoy the creative arts. Libras abhor cruel or vicious actions, and they hate making a scene. They tend to shy away from vulgar and offensive behaviour. They are generally optimistic and cheerful, and have the ability to charm and delight those around them. On the negative side, Librans are gullible and easily affective. They can be flirty and even quite shallow at times. They are impatient of routine, and can sometimes be easygoing to the point of annoyance to others. They are slow to anger, but when they do, they will shock those around them with their sudden outbursts of rage. They love the good life, and tend to be overly extravagant. In romance, they tend to move from one love affair to another. They enjoy relationships because they work better in a partnership, but they can often be overly emotional.

How Minako fits the profile:
Minako is definitely cheerful and optimistic! She can always be counted upon to bring smiles to everyone's faces in any situation. She has Libran charm about her, and is seems to be a peace-maker within the group. She never has major arguments with other senshi and seems to avoid conflict. She is very socially active - she is involved in volleyball, and goes to idol auditions often (in PGSM, she IS an idol!). She even donates blood in episode 109, and becomes an assistant to the Starlights. In PGSM, she does a lot of charity work and does many of her promotional things herself, such as designing her own mascot and homepage.
