diff.text: ===Her relationship with Sailor Uranus===
diff.text: In the original manga, Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus were lovers.  In the Japanese anime, this was the same.  However, in the [[dub]], it was decided to change their relationship to that of cousins, as it was too controversial for a children's show. Some have hypothesised that in the [[Moon Kingdom]], Sailor Uranus was a man ("Prince Uranus"), and was reincarnated as female 
diff.text: (thus making Haruka and Michiru's relationship "''really'' heterosexual"), but this has been refuted by [[Naoko Takeuchi]].  Some characterise [[Haruka]] as being the dominant personality in the relationship, although it could be argued that Michiru has Haruka wrapped around her finger.  
diff.text: Even though they are lovers, they have agreed that they will sacrifice each other if neccessary for their mission.
