General Characteristics:
Sagittarians are generally very optimistic about live. They have a positive outlook on most things, and are full of adventurousness, energy, versatility, and eagerness. They are idealists, and even life's disappointments cannot seem to bring them down for long. Unfortunately, they can also become blindly optimitic and even careless about some matters. They are honest, trustworthy, sincere, and truthful. Justice is one of their passions, and they will fight for any cause which they feel is just, and usually side with society's underdogs. They also have a tendancy to become overly zealous when interested in something. Sagittarians are usually very modest, and have strong values. While they enjoy rituals, they may sometimes become too caught up in the form rather than the substance of what they are doing. They are often rigidly adherent to ritual, and tend to overemphasize ethical codes as more important than what the codes embody. Sagittarians have extraordinary minds, and have been blessed with foresight and good judgement. They are thinkers and avid learners, and love to initiate new projects. They make have keen minds, and think quickly. They are good at adapting, and work well with others who have character traits which compliment their own. They also enjoy travelling and exploration. In love, Sagittarians are very sincere and straightforward. They are faithful and indulgent in their partners, but they often find it difficult to express affection. If their relationships fail, they can easily allow their failure to embitter their entire lives. As friends, they are reliable and can be counted upon, seldom betraying any trust bestowed upon them. They are quick to forgive and are extremely dependable when a friend needs help. However, they can become impulsively angry and quite outspoken - they know just what words and actions will hurt others the most. While their anger may quickly pass, their stinging comments may take longer to fade. They are often quick to anger over trifles, and can become quite impatient with others who do not work at their pace.

How Makoto fits the profile:
Makoto seems very optimistic almost all the time, particularly in the anime and manga. Often, the only times when she doesn't seem as optimistic are times when she is lamenting about a failed love relationship. Of all the senshi, Makoto seems to have more energy and adventurousness than most. She is always willing to fight for things that she believes in, no matter what. She is definitely a fighter! Makoto is also very sincere and honest - even her name is synonymous with "truth." She is a very dependable friend, and always takes the responsibility of caring for and protecting her loved ones.
