Hotaru's hobbies include history and lamp-collecting. One day she hopes to be a nurse. She often wears full-length, body covering clothing (which in some timelines is considered to be a way of covering her cyborg parts).
It was, in fact, her alterego Sailor Saturn that dropped the ultimate weapon, the Silence Glaive, to end the world and begin anew. Thus she is considered the senshi of death and rebirth, or life and death if you will. She is sometimes called the 'Silent Messiah' or 'The Silence'. Her coming was considered to mean the end of the world, and it is the three talismans of the remaining outer senshi that are said to awaken her.
In addition to her senshi powers, Hotaru does have small powers of healing. This drains her energy after some time, however. Like the other outer senshi, she also has psychic powers. Her other powers are as follows:
Silent Wall-A powerful shield that protects herself and allies from attacks.
Silence Glaive (Surprise)-A simple attack with her weapon, though not to be underestimated.
Death Reborn (Ribbon) Revolution- The ultimate destruction attack that also results in her rebirth.
