She is the daughter of famed and talented professor Souichi Tomoe, whom she had a good relationship with. Her mother, Keiko Tomoe, died shortly after giving birth to her on January 6, 2005.

Before she became Sailor Saturn, Hotaru was a joyful but shy and timid girl. She also has a curious personality and very mature for a young girl, being able to independently do the housework at the Tomoe residence since the age of 5. She later showed this ability at the Kaioh residence, her second home. During her time at the Kaioh residence, she developed a strong bond with the other members of the Outer Senshi: Haruka Tenou, Michiru Kaioh and Setsuna Meiou.

As Sailor Saturn, she has the hidden power of foresight. She also had a healing power, which she demonstrated in Mozuton and the Angel of Silence.

Origins arc
Hotaru Tomoe is born on January 6, 2005. On the same day, her mother, Keiko, died shortly after naming her, leaving only her father, famous professor Souichi Tomoe, to raise her.

Mozuton and the Angel of Silence
In the year 2013, a rogue planet named Mozuton threatened to consume the Earth’s resources. Hotaru snuck into her father’s secret laboratory at the Tomoe residence and discovered a terrible truth: her father is creating a device to attract the rogue planet towards planet Earth. When Souichi sets off to place the device at the highest floor of a skyscraper, Hotaru pursues him and watched as Mozuton closes in onto the surface. Souichi made contact with the Germatoids, the aliens from Mozuton, and is taken by them to Mozuton. Hotaru tried to rescue her father from the aliens, but some of them attack Hotaru, leaving her badly wounded and unconscious.

While in a coma, Hotaru is visited by the spirit of Queen Serenity, who bestowed her with a Sailor Crystal and the Silence Glaive. Hotaru transformed into Sailor Saturn for the first time. After battling a legion of Germatoids, Sailor Saturn heads to Mozuton’s surface to search for Souichi. Eventually, she had found Souichi, but he has already mutated into the Germatoid Scorpion after being forced to consume a Germatoid egg by the Germatoids. With much hesitation, Sailor Saturn finally subdues the Germatoid Scorpion with Silence Glaive Surprise, restoring her father to normal. Later, Sailor Saturn destroys the Germatoid Queen at the planet’s core with Death Ribbon Revolution.

Sailor Saturn brings her father back to Earth’s surface. However, Mozuton began to tap into Earth’s surface, sucking its energy. Hotaru discovers that one swing of her Silence Glaive is powerful enough to cut entire planets in half and even divide black holes. With one mighty swing of her Silence Glaive, Sailor Saturn slices Mozuton clean in half, also destroying the Germatoids and saving the Earth from disaster. Hotaru receives a Lip Rod transformation device from Queen Serenity in case she needed to transform into Sailor Saturn again.

Later at the Tomoe residence, Souichi is visited by a 17-year-old student named Setsuna Meiou, who agrees to take care of Hotaru.

Hotaru also makes an appearance in Setsuna’s Journey: Case of the Disappearing Star, under the care of Setsuna.
