Sailor V was mentioned to be a real mysterious crime fighter in the very first episode, but weirdly I think all the other episodes so far made no mention of her being a real person going around doing stuff and seemed to treat her more like a famous fictional super hero that appears in games and stuff like that. Fun fact: Sailor V is also a manga Sailor Moon's creator made before Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon is basically a sequel to it.

... Japanese pronouns? :) Short answer: yeah, she's saying atashi in place of watashi (私). Longer rambling: While in the west we tend to talk about pronouns in terms of he/she/they, in Japanese the focus is more on which I/me/myself pronoun you use. Watashi is the standard as it's gender-neutral and polite. But if you're using it in a casual situation, it comes across kinda feminine because there are "better" pronouns for guys to use. Atashi and Watakushi are variants of watashi. Atashi sounds cutesy and girly, and Watakushi is neutral but sounds rather formal. For guys, there's 僕 Boku and 俺 Ore. Both for casual situations, but boku is boyish / polite and ore is strongly masculine / crass. Obviously there is a lot more nuance. Depending on the situation and their mood people will switch between different pronouns. There's also a lot more available than just the 5 I mentioned here. While I'm on pronouns, the words that get translated as "he" or "she" (彼 kare and 彼女 kanojo) can also mean boyfriend or girlfriend respectively. They are also not used anywhere near as often as in English, people tend to refer to each other by name or title. There's also Koitsu/Soitsu/Aitsu, but those are separated based on where the person currently is rather than gender. Respectively those three would be "this person near me"/"that person near you"/"that person near neither of us" And they're very casual words which would be considered rude if you use them wrong. (ko/so/a/do words are a whole thing, I will resist another tangent) As for the "you" pronoun, you're not going to want to be using any of them. They're too casual and rude, it's much better to just refer to people by their name. It's fairly common for beginners to be taught Anata, which is relatively neutral (politeness speaking), but it's also like "darling" if for example a woman is talking to her husband. So not really a word you want to use with people you don't know well 😅
