  '''Michiru Kaiou''' (aka. '''Sailor Neptune''') is one of the [[Outer Soldiers]].     She is ladylike, elegant, and [[Usagi Tsukino|Usagi]] has described her as 'the ideal princess'.  She is the keeper of a [[talisman]].  
  
  ===Her relationship with Sailor Uranus===
  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 
  (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.  
  
  Even though they are lovers, they have agreed that they will sacrifice each other if neccessary for their mission.
