Sailor Mercury (Ami)

The look

Sailor Mercury's classic warrior uniform is one of the easiest Sailor Guardian designs to identify because of its blue color scheme, short blue skirt, white bodice, blue collar, blue bows, red hair accessory, and Mercury tiara. The costume should look like a coordinated magical-girl uniform rather than a generic sailor outfit.
