Personality
Morino tends to be firm and rather set in her ways, and she quietly worries about whether she has any knack with children.

History
The trouble begins when Chibiusa slips a Pegasus into a landscape painting meant to depict scenery alone, drawing a rebuke from Morino. Stung further by Kyuusuke's remark, she pauses to consult a fortune teller who is actually Tiger's Eye in disguise; he sets upon her and draws out her Dream Mirror. Sailor Moon races in to help her, joined by Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Chibi Moon, prompting Tiger's Eye to loose the Lemures Hebihanabiko on them, though the Senshi put it down. Coming to, Morino finds Chibiusa at her side, and when the girl says she loves the painting no matter what grade it earns and is content being exactly who she is, the teacher walks home mulling those words and draws fresh courage from them.
