About
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. She and Sailor Saturn are initially entirely different entities with their own personalities. Saturn is cold and analytical and will do what needs to be done.
When she is reborn, she is a cheerful and highly gifted child. She loves reading and can memorize entire books. She sometimes switches to a colder personality which is more reminiscent of Saturn. When she reawakens to her powers, she regains the memories of all of her past lives and in this new person, Hotaru and Sailor Saturn are one and the same. She is protective of her friendship with Chibiusa. She is deeply intellectual and lacks street smarts as she is completely befuddled by Ruruna Kobe and Naruru Osaka. She loves her new parents and dies trying to protect Setsuna.
Hotaru is the only child and daughter of Professor Souichi Tomoe. During her childhood, Hotaru was involved in a freak accident in her father's genetic engineering laboratory. Germatoid, a Daimon from the Tau Star System, used an experimental space created by Professor Souichi Tomoe to cross over to Earth. His arrival caused a tremendous explosion that left Hotaru dead and her father injured. The sinister entity promised to restore Hotaru to life if the professor agreed to his terms. The distraught professor agreed immediately, at which point Germatoid hijacked his body, while Hotaru's body was possessed by a second entity, Mistress 9. While Germatoid's personality completely overwhelmed that of Souichi Tomoe, Mistress 9 remained largely dormant in the resurrected Hotaru, only surfacing occasionally. Hotaru tried to return to a normal life, but, largely due to Mistress 9's presence, she had become very frail and prone to mysterious seizures. She also possessed unique abilities that allowed her to heal minor injuries in seconds. Meanwhile, her possessed father set about establishing the Death Busters and arranges Pharaoh 90's passage to Earth, quite unbeknownst to Hotaru.
Due to her strange abilities and inexplicable mood swings, Hotaru was ostracized by her classmates and lived a largely solitary life.
