Ok I already know the consequences of doing this but XD (i don't like flames)
Anyway, I've never been a total Neptune fan. I don't hate her (her attacks are cool) but I don't tremendously like her either. (She never did anything good for Venus! *hmph!* ^^) Anyway, people say that she doesn't have a personality or background because she is overshadowed by Uranus. Do you think this is true? If it isn't then can you describe her personality to me?
Because, personally, it might be because I don't pay attention to anyone except Venus (i do but...) I don't really see any other personality in her. Yea, she likes the "arts" but that's all I got. She's caring, artistic, very elegant....but that's like a sentence. Wow. What about background? It never showed how Michiru was like without Haruka in her life and I thought that was kinda weird.
So...ok I hope there wont be flames. But I'm just asking ^^

I know what you mean... Neptune's my favourite senshi actually, but I do think she's in Haruka's shadow. I think she somewhat lacks a backbone. I've noticed that often when Michiru has second thoughts about something, Haruka often reminds her of their mission and disregards Michiru’s worries. That's not a bad thing, but sometimes I do feel sorry for her because it seems that she's the typical "wife" (I'm know they're not married) who is in the shadow of the more powerful husband. She doesn't seem to have as much of a voice and perhaps this makes her lack personality. I'm not trying to say that Haruka is a control-freak, but I have noticed that she does have a tendency to cast Michiru into the shadows... Plus, they are ALWAYS together ALL the time  I think this may be another reason as to why she lacks that something. You can't think of Michiru without thinking of Haruka... ... *is shot by Haruka fans* |

I totally agree. Its...NOT a bad thing. Its just a thing that I noticed. When I thought about how Michiru would act by herself she seemed really bland. All I seem to know is she cares about Haruka and her friends a lot. (But that's not a great character description).
Takeuchi could be saying they're sooo in love that they have become "one" XD Although Haruka has a more descriptable personality (aka 2 sentences) I still can't think of her without Michiru and vice versa.
So maybe both of them are "nothing" by themselves but are a very great thing when together.

I think Michiru is the complement of the quote 'barking dogs don't bite'. Indeed, she's very silent and doesn't have much weight in her relationship with Haruka, but she stands her ground when she needs to, she manages to shut up her lover whenever she feels Haruka's crossing the line with the inners (or with any other unsuspecting female in the neighborhood). She's obviously from a rich and wealthy family, the way she dresses, moves, acts, it's all high class, etc. She has an eye for art, which is quite the property for the higher class. She plays the violin, which is also a symbol for wealth (violins are quite expensive, not to mention the lessons, etc).

I am in agreement with Helena here. I like Sailor Neptune's attacks and all, but we really do need more character descriptions.. but that is just something about the "outer senshi"... we don't really get to know them a whole lot either way it goes... we only mainly see the "outer senshi" in Sailor Moon S and in Sailor Stars.. and then the S and Super S movies.. but that is about it...
So I don't think it is just Sailor Neptune by herself. I would have loved to get to know Pluto and Saturn a bit more, but all I know about them is that they only show up when the Earth is in a very bad situation.

It never showed how Michiru was like without Haruka in her life and I thought that was kinda weird. So...ok I hope there wont be flames. But I'm just asking ^^ Yes, Haruka is usually over-shadowing Michiru. But she does have a personality, deep down. You just have to understand her feelings, and what she does. The S season is practically based on the 'Outer Senshi's Mission'. And that's where her personality comes in. They show in an episode, the beginning of Michiru and Haruka's relationship and how Michiru had to fight off the monsters by herself, until Haruka was attacked and her henshin pen was 'activated'. There are also some very dramatic scenes near the end part of the season with Michiru and Haruka, when their talismans were discovered. Basically saying, Michiru's personality is hard to understand, unlike, say, Minako. She is very outgoing and her personality is always showing, which is not bad. Also, Michiru's personality being hard to understand, explains the term, the 'mysterious senshi of the outer solar system'. Well, I hope that is good enough. xDD ..[michiru] |

Hey hey heyyyy Minako's personality is very complex. She tries to act like Usagi, and is naturally sociable deep down but her confidence isn't that great.
But this is about Michiru and I totally see the point your making. One thing that's very nice about her, she's really loving to Haruka. I remember the SuperS special and she was all "this world is not worth living in with Haruka", that's sooo sweet.

Heh, well, in the very same special, at some point we see Haruka flirting with the maid and at the moment Michiru comes in, she instantly stops it. This pretty much shows that Michiru has some pressure on Haruka. |

I'm terribly late in this topic, but I just wanted to say that there are some people who can think of Michiru without Haruka. Like Sailor Neptune said, it goes with the whole "mystery" of the outer senshi. But, then again, Sailor Venus is also correct - we can all see Haruka's personality pretty clearly. Haruka's personality is probably the only outer senshi personality we can interpret accurately. Am I right or wrong?

She only really becomes comfortable around Chibi-Usa. |

I think Michiru does have a personality. And I don't think Haruka always controls her. Anyone else remember when in Stars Michiru asks Seiya to help her undress? If she was under Haruka's control she'd never do that. Not to mention there were actually a few times in S when it was Michiru who reminded Haruka of their mission. And there was the time Michiru sent Haruka to find Ami to have a rematch of their race. I could think of more examples if I had more time.
I think with Michiru still waters run deep. She is the artistic type. I think she has a really cool aura about her, she's shy but doesn't seem insecure. I think that huge painting she did of a post-apocaliptic world shows she has personality. (That was the one that Haruka couldn't believe she had made, since Haruka had thought Michiru to be so innocent and harmless). She had strong enough feelings to create something like that.
I don't think Haruka would like Michiru if she had no personality. Haruka is not just some boor who is selfish and wants someone to push around.

I think this may be another reason as to why she lacks that something. You can't think of Michiru without thinking of Haruka...
