Makoto Kino, Sailor Jupiter, embodies resilience forged through tragedy. Orphaned in a plane crash that claimed her parents, she navigates life independently in her plant-filled apartment, honing domestic talents like baking and gardening alongside martial arts prowess. Her muscular 168 cm frame and quiet intensity often mislabel her as intimidating, yet this strength fuels her protective instincts. Lingering aerophobia contrasts her thunderous role as Guardian of Courage, channeling lightning through her tiara with attacks like Supreme Thunder. Balancing softness and grit, she adores flower arrangements and romance novels but confronts bullies without hesitation. Aspirations to merge a bakery-flower shop and find love reveal vulnerabilities deepened by past rejections, including unrequited feelings for a classmate. Evolving from "Jupiter Power, Make Up!" to Eternal Sailor Jupiter, her power surges with the Jupiter Crystal, unleashing attacks like Jupiter Oak Evolution. Star-adorned Eternal upgrades aid her pivotal role against Queen Nehellenia. Key arcs trace her loyalty: shielding Usagi from harm, confronting Nephrite—a Silver Millennium flame—enduring capture by Rubeus, and mastering her Crystal’s energy. She mentors Ittou Asanuma, bonds protectively with Ami and Usagi, and briefly falls prey to Mamoru’s hypnosis. Linguistically, her name mirrors her essence: 木野 ("wood field") ties to Thursday’s Thor-linked kanji and nature; まこと ("sincerity") reflects her integrity. Cherry pies and thriving greenery in her home underscore a nurturing spirit cloaked in thunderous might.
