Minako Aino was the first senshi to be awakened, a few weeks or months before Sailor Moon. She worked solo for many months as Sailor V, trying to trick the Dark Kingdom into thinking she was the princess while looking for the real one herself. She is the leader of the Inner Senshi when considering Sailor Moon did not originally exist.

Sailor V

Sailor V first appeared in her own manga, fighting a group of villians led by Danburite. The manga was unsuccessful but spawned the Sailormoon manga and Sailor V carried over to it.

In the anime, Sailor V operated in England until she returned to Japan and joined the group. It isn't clear who in the Dark Kingdom might have been running operations in England but after she joined the others in Tokyo there was no talk of youma or anything else attacking England.

In Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, Sailor V operated in Tokyo but refused to work with the other senshi. She was suspected to be the princess, which was exactly as she and Artemis wished it. They were waiting for the real princess to awaken.

Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon

Minako was an idol singer with an unclear medical condition that was slowly killing her. She dedicated the remainder of her life to being a senshi and following the mission of her past life, since once Minako died she expected she would be reborn in another form soon. She first appeared as Sailor V, then in an extra-sparkly variation of her Sailor Venus costume as the presumed princess, and finally as Sailor Venus herself.

Minako never fully joined the time but forged interesting relationships with some of the senshi. She became Rei Hino's friend and rival and possibly more, though nothing was explicitely said. She became a sort of mentor to Makoto Kino, which led to her seeing her own flaws when they presented themselves in Makoto. She seemed to envy Usagi's carefree nature and love for life and had very little to do with Ami Mizuno except for trying to kill her as Dark Sailor Mercury.

She did not live to see the final battle but did participate in the battles of the Special Act.
