Setsuna appeared as Sailor Pluto in the 1993 Black Moon arc of Sailor Moon. She guards the Door of Space-Time; the events and reincarnation arrangements in the original work, the 1990s anime, and the Crystal series need to be understood separately.
She is usually quiet and restrained, with a strong awareness of her duties and the rules she must not break. The tenderness she shows Chibiusa gives the lonely gatekeeper someone specific to care about, rather than leaving her merely a mysterious character who provides explanations.
From guarding the Door of Space-Time to acting alongside the Outer Guardians, her choices involve a conflict between duty and protecting others. Her ability to stop time carries significant restrictions and should not be portrayed as a convenient power she can use at any moment without cost.
Chibiusa is a friend she cherishes, while Haruka Tenoh, Michiru Kaioh, and Hotaru Tomoe are important to her relationships among the Outer Guardians. Chibiusa is not her daughter, and caring for Hotaru together with her companions should not simply be equated with an ordinary biological family.
Long dark-green hair, red eyes, and garnet-colored staff ornaments are distinguishing features. Setsuna and Sailor Pluto are different states of the same character; her portrait conveys emotion through a quiet sideways glance, a restrained smile, and an earnest reminder.
Fan interpretation: Her duty as gatekeeper requires her to keep her distance from the world, yet caring about a particular person prompts her to make choices. The tension between her tenderness and her respect for the rules is an aspect of her character more worth discussing than her mysterious appearance.
