Description
Amara, known in the original Japanese version as Haruka Tenou, is the civilian identity of Sailor Uranus, a Sailor Guardian who first appears during the events of the Sailor Moon S storyline, including the film Sailor Moon S: The Movie. Amara is characterized by a blend of masculine and feminine traits, often dressing in male clothing and being mistaken for a handsome boy, a fact she occasionally teases others about. Her birthday is January 27, making her an Aquarius, with a blood type of B. She is a tall, athletic sixteen-year-old who lives a life of wealth and attends the prestigious Mugen Academy, though her enrollment there is primarily for the purpose of infiltration rather than academic pursuit.
In terms of personality, Amara is known for being pragmatic, acting first and thinking later, a stark contrast to more analytical characters. She is a natural athlete, a talented pianist, and a professional race car driver, possessing a strong need for speed and freedom. Her strong point is racing, and her dream is to become a world-champion racer. Despite her confident and sometimes arrogant exterior, she has trouble with confession and was initially reluctant to accept her fate as a guardian, having felt aimless before awakening. Her pragmatic outlook is a core part of her role as a guardian; she is willing to make difficult sacrifices, including leaving innocent people to their fate, if she deems it necessary for the greater good. However, this harsh exterior hides a more damaged interior, as she is deeply troubled by the actions she feels she must take.
Her motivations are driven by her duty as an Outer Guardian. Alongside her partner, Sailor Neptune, she seeks to protect the solar system from external threats. In the S movie, Amara joins the other Sailor Guardians to confront a snow princess threatening to freeze the Earth. Their primary goal in the larger S season arc is to find the three talismans, one of which is Amara's Space Sword, to awaken the Holy Grail and stop the destruction of the world. Her role in the story is that of a powerful, sometimes aloof, ally to the Inner Guardians. Initially, the Outer Guardians, including Amara, are hesitant to work with the Inner Guardians, viewing them as too idealistic. They are willing to use lethal force and make sacrifices the Inner Guardians would not, leading to conflict over their differing methods.
Her key relationships are central to her character. Her most significant bond is with Michiru Kaiou, Sailor Neptune, who is her constant companion and romantic partner. They are a battle couple, often arriving together and fighting in tandem. In the English dub, this relationship was altered to make them cousins. She also shares a deep connection with Setsuna Meioh, Sailor Pluto, and later acts as a parental figure, specifically Haruka-Papa, to the reborn Hotaru Tomoe, co-parenting her with Michiru and Setsuna. She has a complex relationship with Sailor Moon, initially refusing to accept her as a leader due to her idealism but eventually recognizing her as the true princess.
Throughout her development, Amara transitions from someone who wished to run away from her fate to a dedicated and powerful guardian. Her resolve is tested when she must make impossible choices, such as being willing to destroy an innocent person to save the world, which creates internal conflict. In the film, her role is more direct as she assists in the battle against the snow princess, using her full power as Sailor Uranus. As her power grows, she can upgrade to Super Sailor Uranus, though her transformation is not always shown on screen.
As Sailor Uranus, her notable abilities are associated with the sky, wind, and cosmos. She is considered the largest and physically strongest of all the Sailor Guardians. Her primary attack is World Shaking, where she gathers a yellow ball of energy from the sky and hurls it at her enemies. She carries the Space Sword, one of the three talismans, which she uses for her second attack, Space Sword Blaster, firing damaging energy from the blade. She can also use the sword for physical strikes. In her civilian form, she exhibits psychic sensitivity, often through prophetic dreams or hearing ill omens in the wind. She is also an accomplished driver and pilot, able to operate cars, motorcycles, and even a helicopter.
