Naoko Takeuchi designed Ami as the “team brain,” giving her genius-level intelligence to create the impression that she was not quite human—in fact, the character was originally intended to be a cyborg with an accelerator. One possible storyline involved her losing an arm or being injured in some other way and dying from it, but Takeuchi’s editor objected, so Ami became a fully human character. (source)
However, this story element would later be integrated into the manga version of Hotaru Tomoe, whose father made her into a cyborg after she was involved in a horrific fire as a child.
