Usagi says: "Setsuna is the only one of all the Senshi who's out of high school... in fact, she might actually be centuries old! She sure doesn't look it, though - Setsuna is one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen. She's always so graceful and in control of herself that it can be easy to mistake her for being cold or uncaring. Actually, she's very compassionate, and especially loves her adopted daughter Hotaru and her little friend Chibi-Usa, who she calls "Small Lady". As the Senshi of Pluto, Setsuna's duty is to guard the Gates of Time, and protect the entire timestream from being disrupted! She spends an awful lot of time by herself, off protecting the Gates, and I suppose she was getting kind of lonely before Chibi-Usa showed up and made friends with her. We don't see Setsuna too often, unless something seriously wrong is happening, and she needs us to help her stop it! Usually, she just goes about doing her own thing, and we've all learned not to ask too many questions. Whatever her job is, she's obviously doing it, so who are we to complain? Personally, I just wish she'd bother explaining things to us a little better, sometimes..."

As Sailor Pluto, Setsuna possesses total mastery over the element of time itself. She has control over the Gates of Time, and can not only travel through time herself, but send others backwards or forwards through time. She is also capable of making all time travel impossible, by closing the Gates of Time, and can cause time to freeze, although these last two powers are strongly frowned upon, and their use has been forbidden by Queen Serenity. The punishment for using these powers is either banishment or death. Setsuna also has several magical attacks, and wields the Time-Space Key, which she can use as a fighting staff.

Setsuna Meioh is the Sailor Senshi of the planet Pluto. In Roman mythology, Pluto was the god of the dead, and dwelled alone in the Underworld, tending to the souls of the deceased. In the Sailor Moon manga, Setsuna has a much larger role than in the anime, and lives with her fellow Outer Senshi in a large mansion by the sea, helping Haruka and Michiru raise Hotaru. Also, the Setsuna in the manga is twenty years old, and was reincarnated with the other Senshi, while the anime Setsuna is ageless, and has existed for millenia.
