Kaiou Michiru

Kaiou Michiru

Warning: Plot details follow.

Kaiou Michiru (海王みちる) is a character in the Japanese anime metaseries known as Sailor Moon. In the show's English version, her name is "Michelle". Introduced in the show's third series along with her partner, Ten'ou Haruka, Kaiou Michiru is portrayed as a very polite, calm (sometimes coldly so) character in the series. She dislikes being patronized even if it 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.

Her skills include the violin, swimming, and painting; she is the senshi most asociated with the arts. Her senshi alter-ego is Sailor Neptune, one of the "four soldiers of the outer solar system".

Very little is known about Michiru outside of her homosexual relationship with Haruka. Her creator, Naoko Takeuchi, has admitted that Michiru is difficult to write for, due to the fact that she is so dissimilar to herself.

Michiru is sometimes arguably considered bisexual by fans, although because of her delight in flirting in general and monogamous relationship makes the argument moot.
