Sailor Uranus (セーラーウラヌス Sērā Uranusu?) is a fictional lead character in the Sailor Moon media franchise. Her alternate identity is Haruka Tenou (天王 はるか Ten'ō Haruka?, or Amara Tenoh in some English adaptations), a teenage Japanese female student. Haruka is a member of the Sailor Soldiers, female supernatural fighters who protect the Solar System from evil.
Sailor Uranus fights alongside her partner and lover Sailor Neptune. She possesses powers associated with the wind and sky, precognition, as well as sword combat.
Haruka is a stubborn, protective individual, as well as strong-willed, capable, charming, and occasionally even daring. She is formally introduced in the third story arc, although she appears in silhouette alongside Sailor Neptune in the final episode of Sailor Moon R. She is the tallest of the Sailor Soldiers at 5'8", followed by Sailor Pluto at 5'6".
Haruka is a racecar driver, even though she is barely sixteen years old at her first appearance. However, the timing of her birthday to the Japanese school year means she is one grade ahead of the Sailor Soldiers.
Haruka loves to tease pretty girls. In the manga, she even kisses Usagi. Throughout the manga, she lightly flirts with Usagi, either out of habit in her first appearance or just for fun, and eventually Usagi flirts back. Their relationship in the anime is different, as Haruka also refers to Usagi as "Odango", or dumpling, in the same way Tuxedo Mask does—as a playful nickname. By the time she returns in Sailor Stars, however, she begins to refer to Usagi as "Kitten".
