Sailor Saturn/Tomoe Hotaru

Okay, well, Hotaru leads a rather difficult life. It's kinda complicated. See, when she was little she was killed in a lab accident. Her father, the scientist who was conducting the experiments was devastated and heart-broken. Magically, this lady (Mistress 9) appeared and told Professor Tomoe (Hotaru's dad) that she would bring Hotaru to life if he let her master (Pharaoh 90) live in his body. She didn't tell him, however, that she planned to take over Hotaru's body. Anyway, Hotaru grew up, and she had a lot of problems with physical exertion and got tired very easily. She had this wicked cool ability to heal people by touch, except this took a toll on her own health. Eventually, she became good friends with Chibi-Usa and they began to hang around with each other as often as they could. Near the end of Sailormoon S, Hotaru was found to be the Messiah. But, for Mistress 9 to accomplish her mission of freeing Pharaoh 90, she had to get rid of the Messiah. Then there's a big thing with the Senshi and Usagi and Hotaru trying to free herself of the evil within. In the end she succeeds and turns into Sailor Saturn, the senshi who possesses the power to destroy the universe on command.

Hotaru's attacks are really cool but rarely used. Since she is the senshi of destruction she doesn't often use her powers unless they're really needed. After becoming a senshi she reverts to being a small baby again, and Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna-san take care of her. Professor Tomoe becomes good again and in Sailor Stars she grows up very quickly to her original age and becomes Sailor Saturn again in time for the battle against Galaxia.
