Folks, this discussion about Makoto makes a big difference for a couple of scenes in LoGG, at least one of which I
consider important. Is everyone speculating here, or does somebody have something in canon to back up the idea?
Is this version of Makoto from the anime or the manga, because that makes a difference. The manga goes into a lot more detail on the girls various
personal and family histories then we ever see in the anime. The anime, for example, never even mentions that Makoto's parents or dead much less how they
died (we never see her parents, but then we never see Minako's either). Ami's mother only appears in the manga etc.
It is true that in the anime at least Makoto ends up getting ostracized a lot because, basically she's tall. Apparently despite her... *ahem*
"talents" the fact that she is tall is enough to land her in instant "undateable land" for the rest of eternity (there are several episodes
which revolve around the fact she can't get a date to save her life). However neither series mentions, in specific what her heritage is.
Assuming she's mixed-breed would be one explanation.
The other would be that she looks just like a magical princess from Jupiter who lived millenia ago and thus her parents genes had very little effect on her
(honestly where does Usagi get blonde hair from in her family?).
Minako, if you go buy the manga, is pureblood Japanese. But the manga didn't have her in England at all (it takes place in Juuban and actually featured
cameos by the pre-reawakened Inners).
