1. Mercury was a messenger, and a god of
trade, the son of Maia
Maiestas and Jupiter in Roman mythology.
His name is related to the Latin
word merx (“merchandise”;
compare merchant, commerce,
etc.), mercari (to trade), and merces (wages).
Most of his characteristics and mythology
were borrowed from the analogous Greek
deity, Hermes. Latin writers rewrote

2. Hermes’ myths and substituted his name
with that of Mercury.
Mercury has influenced the name of many
things in a variety of scientific fields, such
as the planet Mercury, and the
element mercury.
The word mercurial is commonly used to
refer to something or someone erratic,

3. volatile or unstable, derived from
Mercury’s swift flights from place to place.
He is often depicted holding
the Caduceus in his left hand. (Taken
from Wikipedia)

4. aka Ami Mizuno, was
the second addition to the Sailor Team.
She is the “brain” of the group and is

5. rumored to have an IQ of 300. Her powers
are the elements water and ice.
She dreams of becoming a doctor like her
mother and spends most of her free time
studying. She tends to be the most level-
headed of the group and often analyzes
the enemy using her miniature
supercomputer.
Sailor Mercury’s powers come from the
Asian myths regarding the Planet
Mercury, which was associated with the
North, with winter, with the Cold, and with
Water and Ice. Still, some similarities can
be drawn from Mercury and Sailor

6. Mercury. Ami dreams of being a doctor,
and the Caduceus Mercury holds is the
symbol of medicine.
Also, in Sailor Mercury’s final and most
powerful attack, Mercury Aqua Rhapsody,
Sailor Mercury uses a lyre-like object,
which is a reference to the myth
where Hermes/Mercury created the lyre to
appease Apollo.
Hermes was also referred to as the
cleverest of the gods, which may be where
Ami got her intelligence from, although
she uses her brain for more productive
purposes instead of using it to trick

7. others, which was a trademark of the god
Mercury.
