Sailor Saturn (Japanese: セーラーサターン, Hepburn: Sērā Satān) is a fictional supporting character in the Sailor Moon franchise. Her spirit resides deep within twelve-year-old Hotaru Tomoe (土萠 ほたる, Tomoe Hotaru), a frail middle schoolgirl who is her lookalike reincarnation, which makes Sailor Saturn her alter ego; entirely apart from how the other nine Sailor Guardians are reborn and their human identities remain separate.
She is the tenth and last of the Sailor Guardians of the long gone Moon Kingdom to be introduced, possessing dark powers associated with silence and ruin, nothingness and the void, destruction and death, annihilation and rebirth. Her powers made her a potential threat as she can wipe out a planet, an entire solar system, or reset its evolution. Her immense destructive powers complement the restorative powers possessed by Sailor Moon.
