13) Character Personal Information
The Japanese information below is mostly "official", written by Takeuchi Naoko,
and is directly translated from manga #10. The exceptions are the gem- stones,
which come from the Super Famicom roleplaying game, Tuxedo Mask, from the SuperS
movie Memorial Album, and the Sailor Stars, from May 1996 Nakayoshi.
I've decided to include the gemstones from the game because the game is mostly consistent with the official information on the rest. (They don't seem to be the gemstones associated with their astrological signs.)
Note: Blood type is in Japan considered to fit certain personality types just like astrological signs. This is only for O/A/B/AB, not + and -. From the rec.arts.manga glossary:
In Japanese pop culture, blood type is thought to be related to personality. This belief became popular in the early '80s. Profiles of manga artists or characters from manga will often include blood type along with other statis- tics like age and place of birth. A very rough guide to blood types:A nervous, introverted, honest, loyal
B outgoing, optimistic, adventurous
AB proud, diplomatic, discriminating
O workaholic, insecure, emotional
The North American version is from the back of the doll boxes. It fits the original in some parts, and changes it in others (mostly when it's a cultural reference like Japanese food, or when it's not in the original at all).

Moon Nakayoshi Anime Album character sheets, V1, page 103, and V2, page 94 and
111. THESE ARE ESTIMATES:
