What was the last major event that triggered a change in your muse?
You know, all of the senshi have been through a lot (death,rebirth, an endless cycle of battles, the interruption of aging,watching friends and family suffer from the fringes of their duty) but I don't think any of that has really changed Makotobecause she has always been very, very dedicated to justiceand righting wrongs, even before she was awakened, so ifanything, everything has only really strengthened her resolveas a soldier which isn't necessarily a huge change.
What has changed her entirely was meeting Usagi after being reborn, though. She went from a sad,ostracized, lonely girl that expected people to avoidher and knew that most (if not everyone) she met wouldbe intimidated and scared by her size and reputation.Usagi took all of those rumors, all of those expectationsand turned them upside down. Usagi opened up a worldof friendship and compassion to Makoto and from thereshe was granted the opportunity to make friends, to havepeople around that actually cared for her. She channeledher loneliness towards a cause, a duty, and it gave her a purpose in life that she hadn't had before.
Because think about it, Makoto's parents died young (earlyon, probably somewhere in the beginning of her adolescenceand after that she was completely alone.) No other familyis shown, and she never gets the chance to make friends becausea. she has this horrible reputation of being a brutal, aggressivegirl that picks fights for the hell of it, b. she is EXTREMELYintimidating physically thanks to her height and the nature of her hair (which, at the time, was a stereotype of toughgirls that DID have violent streaks) and c. she was of suchlow self esteem that she expected people to want nothingto do with her because of all of the above. Everytime she'sshown pre-Usagi, she's being talked about, harassed, orignored, and she just seems so... used to it. It's not uncommon,it's not new, it's something that she's seen so much thatshe's just sort of... resigned to it. This doesn't mean, of course,that she's happy about it, but she's definitely seen it enoughto know that there isn't any point in fighting against it.
So when Usagi comes along, plops down beside her, andstarts a conversation like it's no big thing, that's a big deal.She isn't scared, she isn't bothered, and while she has certainly heard the rumors, she doesn't care. That meantso much to Makoto, that is a huge turning point for her,and it certainly gives her hope at the same time becausesomeone can see past what she appears to be. Someonedoesn't see big, tough, delinquent Makoto, someone seesa person, and that one person means everything.
