diff.text: '''Tomoe Hotaru Tomoe''' (Hotaru=firefly, Tomoe=to sprout from soil) is a weak and extremely introverted young girl who becomes the powerful '''Sailor Saturn''', the Senshi of Ruin and Rebirth. In Japanese mythology, the firefly is a symbol of rebirth. When she was first introduced, she was possessed by [[Mistress 9]]. She is later adopted by [[Sailor Neptune]], [[Sailor Uranus]], and [[Sailor Pluto]]. Her best friend is [[Chibi-Usa]]. Hotaru is the only Sailor Soldier to not receive a name change in the English anime.
diff.text: Her name means 'Firefly Sprouting from the Earth'.
diff.text: Sailor Saturn wields the Silence Glaive (called the Silence Scythe in the english dub), just like the other Outer Senshi who each carry a weapon. Her attacks are based on death and silence.
