Sailor Neptune (セーラームプムューン, SÄ"rÄ NepuchÅ«n) is a
fictional lead character in the Sailor Moon media franchise. The
alternate identity of Michiru Kaioh (海王 㠿㠡る, KaiŠMichiru,
renamed "Michelle Kaioh" in some English adaptations), a teenage
Japanese schoolgirl. Michiru is a member of the Sailor Soldiers,
female supernatural fighters who protect the Solar System from
evil.Introduced in the third story arc, Sailor Neptune fights
alongside her partner and lover Sailor Uranus. In both versions of the
story she is portrayed as elegant, sophisticated, capable of sharp
anger, occasionally cold, and fully dedicated to her duty as a Sailor
Soldier. She possesses powers associated with the sea, precognitive
ones, as well as powers granted by her magic mirror.Michiru is
formally introduced in the third story arc, although she appears in
silhouette alongside Sailor Uranus in episode 89, a "teaser" to Sailor
Moon S. She is portrayed as a very polite, calm character in the
series. She dislikes being patronized even if not doing so would hurt
her feelings, and subsequently will not indulge people. This is
alluded to in her backstory, explaining that she was congenial but
generally not social. Michiru is also graceful and delicate, with an
aura of sophistication. She is clearly intelligent, and this usually
manifests itself through art and music. Usagi (to whom this
observation is especially relevant) once commented that Michiru was
the ideal example of a princess.Michiru attends Infinity Academy with
Haruka (and the younger Hotaru Tomoe) when she is first introduced. In
the manga, after Infinity is destroyed, she and Haruka later attend
the same high school as Usagi and the other girls. It is never
mentioned where they go after this in the anime, but the two of them
are shown driving away in their last appearance in Sailor Moon S, and
during a made-for-TV special set during the following season, they are
shown staying at a hotel elsewhere in Japan. According to the
musicals, Michiru had experience studying abroad. Michiru's closest
bond is with Haruka, and Takeuchi has explicitly stated that the two
are in a lesbian relationship in both the manga and the anime as well
as the musicals.
