▸ Hero · An ordinary ditzy crybaby of a schoolgirl who turned out to be the champion of love and justice — and won, again and again, not because she was the strongest or the cleverest, but because her heart refused to give up on anyone.
SAILOR MOON
Love is not a soft consolation prize you fall back on when you're not strong enough — it is the strongest thing there is, and a heart that refuses to give up on people can do what no amount of skill or power can. She started out as a crybaby who failed her tests, overslept, and ran from every fight, and she never fully stopped being that girl — she just learned that being scared and crying and feeling like you're not enough doesn't disqualify you from being a hero. It's where most heroes start. She believes everyone, even an enemy, has a heart worth reaching for; that compassion is braver than aggression; and that the courage to keep loving people who hurt you, to forgive, and to stand up trembling when you'd rather run, is the realest superpower of all.
Voice
