Michiru Kaiou

Michiru Kaiou, also known as Michelle Kaioh, Sailor Neptune and Super Sailor Neptune, is one of the main characters from the Sailor Moon series.
== Charactah Account ==
Michiru is classically refined girl, a talented violinist and swimmer. Her poise and elegance coupled with her surprisingly friendly demeanor make her an immediate inspiration to the Guardians. Despite her graceful manners, she's no less merciful than her girlfriend towards those who get in her way.
Like several other characters from the original manga who appear in the anime, Michiru keeps the same appearance as her original incarnation, except with her hair shortened from long to medium length.
Michiru is Haruka Tenou's lover.
