Personality
Before becoming friends with Usagi and the other Sailor Senshi, Ami was a shy girl who did not make friends easily. She preferred to spend time alone studying and reading books. In return, many of her classmates believed her to be snobby and arrogant because of her intelligence; even being superhuman as she always finished at the top of national exams. However, once Ami and Usagi became friends, the opinions began to change.

Ami is depicted to be a sweet, kind, gentle, supportive, and loyal girl who is slightly insecure. In the beginning, she relies on the opinions of her mother, classmates, and teachers. As the series progresses, she becomes stronger and more confident. She is the most sensible out of the Inner Sailor Guardians and she dislikes conflict; especially the fights between Usagi and Rei.

Ami's parents are divorced; living with her mother in a condominium. Her mother is always working, leaving Ami to care for herself. She also dreams of becoming a doctor like her mother.

Her favorite subjects were math and science. She also has a secret love of romance novels and pop culture but is embarrassed to say it.

Information
Ami was an only child who lived with her mother Saeko, a respected doctor, and her father, a painter. However, her parents would undergo a divorce, leaving Ami in her mother's custody while her father would become a freelance artist.

Ami longed to become a doctor like her mother and grew to be a very intelligent girl to the point of becoming a national genius. Unfortunately, her peers would become envious of her and mistake her shy demeanor for snobbiness, assuming Ami thought she was too good to associate with them. This alienation would cause her to live a very lonely life.
