Artemis

Artemis is Minako Aino's white guardian cat, as well as her adviser. He was the one who awoke Minako as Sailor V and has continued to watch over her ever since. In the anime, Artemis was more emotional than in the manga, with an occasional clumsy streak. He hardly ever became angry with Minako, though he did criticize her personal life quite a bit. Their relationship almost seemed to be that of sister and brother. Artemis also encouraged Minako to pursue her dream of becoming an idol.
