Haruka Tenoh is the civilian identity of Sailor Uranus, Guardian of the Sky and Flight. Her background lacks specific familial details, with no known relatives mentioned. She presents an androgynous appearance, frequently leading to initial gender misinterpretation. This fluidity extends to clothing, including wearing the male uniform at Mugen Academy during infiltration and later adopting the female Juuban High School uniform. Sailor Neptune explicitly states Sailor Uranus embodies both masculine and feminine traits, strengths, and personalities, while Haruka consistently identifies as female and dismisses rigid gender categorization. Before awakening as a Sailor Guardian, Haruka pursued professional race car driving, demonstrating exceptional skill despite being under Japan's legal driving age by claiming international licensure. She exhibits proficiency in martial arts, track running, and piloting vehicles, including her personally owned helicopter "Tenoumaru" in the manga and Crystal adaptations. Her civilian life reflects considerable, unexplained wealth, occasionally attributed to "wealthy patrons" in the manga. Her awakening alongside Sailor Neptune positions them as Guardians of the Outer Planets, tasked with confronting systemic threats to the solar system, even at the cost of individual lives. This duty often creates friction with Sailor Moon and the Inner Guardians due to their pragmatic methods. Haruka operates in constant partnership with Michiru Kaioh (Sailor Neptune), their relationship depicted as a profound romantic bond across all media, including manga, anime, Crystal, musicals, and the Viz English dub, though earlier English adaptations altered this to cousins. Following the defeat of Pharaoh 90 and the rebirth of Sailor Saturn as an infant, Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna Meioh (Sailor Pluto) form a chosen family unit, collectively adopting and raising Hotaru Tomoe. This familial dynamic persists through subsequent story arcs. As Sailor Uranus, her powers derive from dominion over the sky and wind, manifesting in attacks like "World Shaking" (manipulating atmospheric energy) and "Space Sword Blaster". She wields the Space Sword, one of three Talismans crucial for summoning Sailor Saturn. Transformation phrases evolve from "Uranus Planet Power, Make-up!" to "Uranus Crystal Power, Make-up!" upon accessing her Sailor Crystal in the manga and Crystal. Her uniform undergoes power-based upgrades: achieving "Super Sailor Uranus" in the anime and later an "Eternal Sailor Uranus" form in supplementary manga materials. Her character reveals a protective, strong-willed, and occasionally flirty personality, notably teasing Usagi Tsukino. Initially aloof and prioritizing the mission above camaraderie, her integration into the Guardian collective deepens over time, particularly through shared responsibility for Hotaru. Her courage is evident in confronting ultimate threats, such as directly engaging Sailor Galaxia in combat within the musicals.
