Her Image
Cherry blossoms breeze by as the scene pauses picturesquely.
Haruka prefers to cross-dress in male clothing, and to those that do
not know her well, she is a male. Her appearance suggests
stereotypical qualities attributed to
males—strength, stoicism—and in fact, that is what
she is. She loves cars, motorcycles, and racing—anything that
involves speed. She does not want to show her emotions, nor
does she act in any other way that could be considered feminine.
Both Haruka and Michiru appear to the Inners to be much wiser and
more mature. Their eyes are smaller and almond-shaped like adults, or
other older characters like Setsuna and Mamoru.
It seems that Haruka and Michiru have had years of life experience that
lead them to be generally cynical, or at least realistic, about the
world. However, they are actually only one or two years older than
the Inners.
Haruka is distinctly masculine; Michiru is distinctly feminine.
Together, they create an image of the perfect male-female couple,
even though Haruka is actually female. Haruka and Michiru's
relationship seems to be sublimely mature and fully developed,
especially compared to that of Mamoru and Usagi. It seems like
Haruka and Michiru knew each other forever, and are undoubtedly
meant for each other. In fact, they seem to know each other so well that
in battle, they move like a single entity focused on
accomplishing its goal.
