For Ami's birthday, we asked you
What does Sailor Mercury mean to you?
... And here's what you told us! "A reminder that just because you’re introvert and quiet doesn’t mean you can’t be an interesting person with big dreams and a bigger heart. "

"My best friend in elementary school always drew the Mercury symbol in the corner of her test/homework papers, in hopes of some mercury power."

"She taught me that I can be a intelligent, reliable, sweet and kind person. And she taught me that true strength is not always physical force"

"Watching the social outsider/book nerd be a strong woman who is capable of forming these amazing friendships without changing the core of her self or alter her dreams is very empowering to me."

"My friends said Mercury had ugly hair. Then when we played Sailor Moon I always had to be Mercury because I had short hair like her. That hurt. We were six years old and too stupid to appreciate her character." - colonelhathi.tumblr
"Excuse you, I have fabulous hair."
"Mercury is the senshi that I feel I'm most like. When I was growing up, I was picked on in school for being smart and a "teacher's pet". Most of the "friends" I had were just nice to me to get answers. I saw myself in Ami, misunderstood and an outcast because they were smart. However, Ami taught me a valuable lesson: It's okay to be smart, that it is something to take pride in."

"Sailor Mercury encouraged me to have confidence in myself because she was shy but so awesome and it didnt make sense for her to doubt her abilities but she did! It taught me that everyone is insecure sometimes but with a little faith in yourself and encouragement from some great friends, anything is possible."

"Ami taught me that intelligence carries with it the responsibility to try to improve the world for others, and should not be used just to achieve personal gain; that studying hard is important, but no less important are kindness, compassion, and friendship."
