I am the Pretty Guardian who fights for Love and Intelligence. I am Sailor Mercury! Douse yourself in water and repent! —Ami Mizuno, from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon
I'm Ami Mizuno. Born September 10th, a Virgo, blood type: A. My hobbies are reading and playing chess. Every morning, I'll get to school 40 minutes early to read. I love sandwiches, because I can read while I eat them. My favorite colour is blue, and swimming is my favorite sport. Math is my best subject. One thing I'm not good at receiving... a... a... love letter! —Ami Mizuno, from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon
Stop reading manga and get to studying!!! —Ami Mizuno, from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon
Ami: You know, I think there's only one thing we should be passionately doing in our last year of junior high school, and that is...
The other girls: Studying, we take it?
Ami: That's right! Right now, in my dictionary there's no such word as love!
Ami: Lately that person has been keeping first alongside me in every exam, they may be challenging me. Perhaps it's a new type of enemy!
Usagi: Ami, I think you're overanalyzing things.
(latter)
Ami: (thinking) I may be overanalyzing, but I can't help but wonder what kind of person this Mercurius is...
Oh the results of the practice exams... (thinking) That's it! If I take more exams, and go to more tutorial seminars, maybe I'll meet this Mercurius! (thinking dreamily) I've never felt so passionate before... It's so thrilling to have a rival! (outloud) All right then, I won't back down from this either! —Ami Mizuno, from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon
Ami: Oh! We're tied for first again! This person is not just anybody to be placed first every time!
Rei: And what does that make you?
Ami: But, (dreamily) what is this person like, do you think? I do wish I could meet him...
Makoto: *laughs* She's crazy...
Minako: Ami, it almost seems like you're in love or something.
Ami: No, no. He's a rival!
Rei: How do you know that it's a he?
Usagi: The name "Mercurius", doesn't reveal anything like that...
Ami: (blushing) Well, yes. I guess. But...
Minako: So Ami, what do you look for in a man anyway?
Ami: Huh?
Makoto: Yeah, tell us!
Chibiusa: What's he like?
Ami: What I look for? He's...
All the other girls:He's...?!
Ami: ...just like Einstein!
Watch out Mercurius, I can study and study, and study, and rest a bit, and study, and study, and study some more and... rest... —Ami Mizuno, from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon
(dreamily) I knew you were my rival, but I didn't think you'd get inside my head! —Ami Mizuno, from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon
Usagi: Anyway, we shouldn't mention Mercurius in front of Ami.
Makoto: That's a good idea.
Ami: Then, you saw him?
Chibiusa: Ami!
Ami: What was he like
Minako: (lying and showing a magazine) Kind of like this guy here.
Usagi: (lying) Right! Right! The year's hottest young star!
Ami: That's what I imagined him to look like a young Einstein! (dreamly) As expected of my rival!
Minako: A little shallow, don't you think?
Usagi: But if she finds out that he looked exactly like Umino...
What do you think is left of me if you took academics away? —Ami Mizuno, from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon
Rei-chan! Honestly! If this is how everyone's going to be. I'll be better off studying at cram school! Bye! —Ami Mizuno, from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon
Don't worry about grades. Come and see me any time. Ryo-kun. —Ami Mizuno, from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon
As long as I can remember I've wanted to be a doctor just like my mother so I put my head down, studied hard, and never gave that decision a second thought until now. —Ami Mizuno, from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon
One more point would've gotten me a perfect grade, but I guess I didn't study enough. —Ami Mizuno, from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon
I always do well in cram school and homework. I'm always reading textbooks. I was number one in the country in the exam. I'm Sailor Mercury. —Ami Mizuno, from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon
♫ The first shower of spring sprinkling into my room somehow feels nice A shower of light fills (the air)
The breeze flips the pages of the book open in my desk Even my depressed feeling turns into a smile
Dreamin' the chance for love Tell me it's not in the dictionary Quickly close the notebook
Dreamin' if my hair moves For you the smell of rinse (conditioner) (I feel)Some sort of premonition
As I walk on the tiptoe on the sidewalk lovers pass me by While playing around, whispering
When someone someday calls my name in a gentle voice I'd like to answer with a premium smile
Dreamin' the magic word of love Tell me now's the chance Quietly make a wish
Dreamin' it's strange how much For you my honest feeling Find me quickly
Lightly I blinked in that moment the world changed A pastel dress white loafers I'd like to fall in love
Dreamin' the chance for love Tell me it's not in the dictionary Quickly close the notebook
Dreamin' if my hair moves For you the smell of rinse (conditioner) (I feel)Some sort of premonition
Dreamin' it's strange how much For you my honest feeling Find me quickly ♫ —Ami Mizuno, from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon

Genshin Impact
I am Albedo, Chief Alchemist of the Knights of Favonius. You carry the aura of the stars, interesting... I would like to study you, if you do not mind. I'm certain we will have many opportunities to be alone in the future. —Albedo, from Genshin Impact
"The truth of this world"... *sigh* What could it be? —Albedo, from Genshin Impact
Going out into the world and investigating, turning the "unknown" into the "known." ...Ahhh, I missed this feeling. —Albedo, from Genshin Impact
The soil is moist, ideal for collecting the roots of Boom Blossoms. No please, allow me to handle this. —Albedo, from Genshin Impact
Ample light... active biological organisms... Yes, this is a good place to sketch. —Albedo, from Genshin Impact
Good morning. Are we going to search for ancient relics today? —Albedo, from Genshin Impact
Good night, you go ahead and rest. I will just finish one last experiment before bed... If you are interested in the results, I can discuss them with you tomorrow. —Albedo, from Genshin Impact
Genius? ...A number of people call me that. But I don't think I'm any "genius." —Albedo, from Genshin Impact
Would you oblige me by serving as my assistant? After observing so many experiments, you surely know a good deal about alchemy by now. Relax, we will work together. I don't think you will have any problems. I have faith in my ability to instruct you, and even more faith in your exceptional talents. —Albedo, from Genshin Impact
My Vision? Ah, that's nothing more than a tool to aid in my experiments, no different from a beaker or crucible. The one thing about it that really intrigues me is the principle behind how it works... One day, I will uncover its secrets, it's only a matter of time. —Albedo, from Genshin Impact
You would like to know more about petrified trees? Erm... Actually, the petrified trees you have come across in domains aren't that ancient. Truly ancient trees usually grow to around one or two miles in height. Oh, and there's a kind of large spider that lives around their roots — if you tie one up in cape jasmine and lemongrass and sprinkle on some cardamom, smoke it for a few hours — you get a fragrant taste that's simply... unforgettable. —Albedo, from Genshin Impact
Sucrose? I think I more or less understand why she is so dedicated to her research in bio-alchemy... Either way, I'm happy to see her succeed more and more in her endeavors. —Albedo, from Genshin Impact
Working with Sucrose on alchemy research is quite pleasant, but she has some... stubborn qualities in regards to certain aspects unrelated to research. For example, I have told her numerous times to just call me "Albedo" since we are hardly generations apart, but she insists on addressing me in an excessively formal manner. *sigh* ...Whatever she prefers, I guess. —Albedo, from Genshin Impact
Lisa? I always am impressed by the valuable perspectives she brings to discussions. But is a person with her talents satisfied with such a basic occupation as librarian? There must be some hidden reason for this. —Albedo, from Genshin Impact
Oh, by the way. Did you know that without human manipulation, you would need to harness the power of a sun eight times the size of our own in order to naturally create gold? —Albedo, from Genshin Impact
Even now, I find the nigredo processing stage of alchemy passed down by my master to be full of mystery. What did my master want to create using this technique...? My research is far from over, I will require your help to investigate further. —Albedo, from Genshin Impact
Hmm... Besides research, the activity I spend most of my time on is probably sketching. At first I saw it simply as a way to better study the structure of living things and materials so as to aid me in my experiments, but it eventually became a hobby of mine. Indeed, it is a very good way to relax. —Albedo, from Genshin Impact
Nigredo is the first step in alchemy, drawing from primordial forms. As beings who live in this world, we must find our own meaning. —Albedo, from Genshin Impact
Albedo is the step in which change begins. Clearing away the excess so we can take on all the knowledge that is available. Would you like to investigate this world with me? —Albedo, from Genshin Impact
Rubedo in alchemy refers to the refining of feeling. I feel the refining of my own emotions is also thanks to you. —Albedo, from Genshin Impact
Citrinitas is the final stage of the alchemical transmutation process. The meaning of the object being transmuted has finally been brought to light, becoming gold and revealing its true value... I too have found my own meaning. —Albedo, from Genshin Impact
I'm Alhaitham, the Akademiya's scribe. If you wish to access an archived file, please submit an application according to the prescribed format. Oh, your form isn't ready? Not to worry. You can come again on the next working day. My work hours are posted outside the office. —Alhaitham, from Genshin Impact
Book learning alone is not enough to cultivate intelligence. All those scholars in the Akademiya are prime examples. —Alhaitham, from Genshin Impact
Hmm, there have been many poorly written applications lately. I guess I'll just have to reject them all. —Alhaitham, from Genshin Impact
Rather than lacing my words with rhetoric, I prefer speaking factually. —Alhaitham, from Genshin Impact
There are many things in this world that may catch our eye, but don't always believe what you see. If what we see in the world were all there was to it, then there'd be no need to think, would there? —Alhaitham, from Genshin Impact
I like reading difficult and abstruse books, and seeing others scratch their heads in confusion. I'm only joking. I don't delight in others' misery, and rarely do I encounter a book that's difficult for me. —Alhaitham, from Genshin Impact
He holds a body of knowledge more advanced than most could imagine, and his mind is constantly thinking, so maybe nothing in this world could ever fool him. But is the wise man truly wise to view the mediocre majority as defective? Because without them, there is no us. —Nahida about Alhaitham, from Genshin Impact
Nice to meet you! Hehe, I've actually been watching you for a long time already. My name's Nahida. I might look like a child, but don't be fooled: I understand this world much better than any grown-up. So... can we trade knowledge? I want to hear all about your travel stories. So, what would you like to know in return? —Nahida, from Genshin Impact
Something on your mind again? Let's work through it together. Two heads are better than one. —Nahida, from Genshin Impact
The gods gave humans barely enough knowledge for them to fill their stomachs. Yet, they used it to craft tools, write books, and build cities, and now they've set their sights on the stars and the abyss... With every moment that goes by, they're creating brand-new knowledge, so I never want to take my eyes off them. —Nahida, from Genshin Impact
Very often, only once we get hurt badly are we finally forced to face our own laziness, ignorance, recklessness, or arrogance. There's nothing to regret, though. We have no way of seeing all the possibilities that lie ahead in the future, so we have to rely on clumsy trial-and-error to gain knowledge. Just think of pain as the tuition you have to pay. —Nahida, from Genshin Impact
Sumeru's desert looks more desolate than the rainforest, but it's also home to an ancient civilization, and supports its own stable ecosystem. One day, when it finally stops arguing with the rainforest, I'm sure that flowers will blossom there, the likes of which I've never seen before. —Nahida, from Genshin Impact
I'm getting smarter! —Nahida, from Genshin Impact
My mind is growing even bigger. It feels like you could fit the entire sky and ocean inside it. —Nahida, from Genshin Impact
Share in my knowledge. —Nahida, from Genshin Impact
The Temple of Wisdom. —Nahida, from Genshin Impact
He has an almost-perfect grasp of what it truly means for Sumeru to be a Nation of Wisdom. Sadly, the truth as he understands it will never be accepted as the mainstream. Hmm? He's roommates with Alhaitham? Wow... the world really is full of surprises... —Nahida about Kaveh, from Genshin Impact
Honkai Star Rail
Hello. I hope I didn't startle you. This is a work habit of mine — using touch to open my senses and letting the details of your biological existence flood into my brain helps me understand your construction as a living organism. Such is the basis of deconstruction and reconstruction. Do not be concerned. You are very healthy — in fact, impeccably so. A perfect experimental specimen. I like perfect experimental specimens. —Ruan Mei, from Honkai Star Rail
After catching the attention of Nous, I left my hometown and began my research on the origin of life in a secret corner of the universe... please don't ask where. —Ruan Mei, from Honkai Star Rail
You don't have to listen hard to hear the gossip coming from the Genius Society — Mad Scientist. I'll take it as a compliment. —Ruan Mei, from Honkai Star Rail
If you come across a good research sample, please let me know. Until then. —Ruan Mei, from Honkai Star Rail
Humans overestimate the infallibility of logic, and in clinging to reason can become slaves to their emotions. Science is born from fanaticism — it is a gift. —Ruan Mei, from Honkai Star Rail
They call this a puzzle? —Ruan Mei, from Honkai Star Rail
A simple solution — that's all it takes. —Ruan Mei, from Honkai Star Rail
