Michelle Kaioh is the civilian form of the Outer Sailor Scout, Sailor Neptune and is the reincarnation of the Princess of Planet Neptune. In the 20th century of pre-Crystal Tokyo, Michelle and her cousin, Amara Tenoh search for the Pure Heart Crystal that will lead them to the Purity Chalice. Like Sailor Mercury, Neptune's powers are associated with the element of water.
Sailor Moon S[]
Sailor Neptune and her cousin Sailor Uranus appeared to stop the Bureau of Bad Behavior, led by Doctor Tomoe, from using the Silence to destroy the world. They were searching for three specific Pure Hearts to make the Purity Chalice appear so they could stop them, even though they knew that the ones with the Pure Hearts would die from being separated from them for too long. For this reason, the Sailor Scouts did not get along well with them, plus they preferred to work alone.
In the first episode, Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus destroyed the first Daimon, Mikuzi. She first appeared as Michelle in Episode 3, "Driving Dangerously".
In Related by Destiny, a flashback shows that Michelle was already aware that she was destined to be Sailor Neptune and was trying to talk to Amara. Michelle tells Amara that she needs to stop running from her destiny and that nothing will change if she runs away. She offers to talk with Amara about it over hot chocolate but Amara doesn’t want to. When the Uranus stick appears in front of Amara Michelle tells her not to touch it because she wanted to give Amara the choice to chase her dream and not be stuck tied to a destiny she didn’t choose. Michelle transforms into Sailor Neptune and uses Neptune Deep Submerge to destroy the monster without hurting the human trapped inside it. Michelle admits that she knew the job was hard and that she was happy when she found out that her cousin Amara was her partner.
In Art Appreciation, it is revealed that Michelle has an ex-boyfriend named Mike.
In "Destiny's Arrival", it is revealed that she and Sailor Uranus have two of the three Pure Heart Crystals. Eugeal extracted her Pure Heart, which took the form of the Deep Aqua Mirror. Later, Sailor Pluto returned the Pure Hearts to them, separating them from the saber and the mirror.
They still refused to work together with the Sailor Scouts, and wanted to destroy Hotaru when they found out she was possessed by Mistress 9. They fought Germatoid when he left Doctor Tomoe, and were losing until their Pure Heart items appeared. Sailor Neptune used the Deep Aqua Mirror to immobilize all the fake Germatoids, allowing Sailor Uranus to finish Germatoid off.
After the defeat of Pharaoh 90, Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus fought Sailor Moon, believing that she should not be the future queen. In the end, a light shone from Sailor Moon's tiara causing Sailor Uranus to crash into Sailor Neptune. From here, they recognized her as their ruler, and it is implied that Sailor Moon is the Sovereign after all.
