Hotaru Tomoe, also known as Sailor Saturn, Messiah of Silence and Guardian of Silence, is one of the main characters from the Sailor Moon series.
== Charactah Account ==
A friendless ill girl and an apocalypse maiden, not to mention the biggest woobie in the cast all thanks to the unfortunate double presence of world-destroying powers and demonic possession. She's had a rough childhood, to put it mildly, but manages to remain a kind, genuinely sweet girl and a precious friend to Chibi-Usa.
Hotaru is timid, quiet and always keeps to herself. Never having had any real friends, she was surprised yet happy to have met Chibiusa. She had growing fears of losing herself someday and struggled to keep her dark side in check, so as not to harm those she held most dear.

== Trivia ==
* Hotaru Tomoe is the only Solar System Sailor Senshi in the 90s anime not to have a stock transformation sequence (Excluding Sailor Chibi Chibi Moon.)
* "Hotaru" means firefly and the kanji of "Tomoe" translates as earth (to) and sprouting (moe), so her name means "firefly sprouting from Earth". Also, the first kanji in Tomoe is the first character for the Japanese name for Saturn.
* Hotaru's personality in the S season is very different from that in the Stars season.
** In Sailor Moon S, she is normally calm, shy, usually very gloomy, and kind-hearted. As her other self, Sailor Saturn, she is very serious and without much emotion.
** In the 5th season, a 5-year-old Hotaru is instead more playful and energetic, especially when it comes to spending time with Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna, but also very serious and determined when it comes to her duty as a Sailor Guardian. She is no longer shy, gloomy, or reserved like she was in the third season.
* Hotaru was the only Sailor Guardian to not receive a name change in the original English dub, but her last name was pronounced differently (pronounced toe-moe instead of toe-mo-eh).
* Her favourite color is purple.
