If Ami, Rei, Makoto or Minako awoke as Senshi

[SailorStar9]

What if Ami, Rei, Makoto, or Minako had awoken as Senshi on their own, like Michiru did? And if said Senshi appear during the R Season, how would the storyline change?

On the additional note: How did Michiru awake her Senshi powers? And how long were Uranus and Neptune around in terms of the anime timelines; were they around during Classic or R?

Minako did sort of awaken on her own (her awakening as Sailor V was similar to Usagi's awakening as Sailor Moon). If the senshi each awakened on their own, then that would probably make the series drag a bit. It would be best for them to awaken amidst other senshi (like most of the Inner Senshi in the first season). That way, the camaraderie is more easily established.

I personally think the events of Neptune/Uranus' awakening occured while the other senshi were fighting Black Moon. It could be that Michiru realized her senshi powers from a dream, sort of like when Haruka dreamt of Sailor Neptune before she awakened as Sailor Uranus. But, that's all just conjecture.
