Misty Child: Meiou Setsuna
It is, of course, extremely difficult to explain Meiou Setsuna as a person. She's hard to catch up with! But in Super, she appears- shocking the hell out of Chibi-Usa- and hangs around with Haruka and Michiru when they're not at school. When Hotaru is changed into a baby, Setsuna, Haruka, and Michiru take care to her. Setsuna-mama is in charge of discipline and education.
Setsuna is usually on a computer for some reason, whether she's at KO university where she majors in Theoretics of Elemental Science or at home, or even at Charon Castle. She gave Ami a computer program which helps analyze the forcefield the Dead Moon creates in SuperS.
The three eldest girls are mentally and physically connected. Haruka and Michiru felt it when Setsuna was being attacked by the Tellun and teleport to help her. Michiru and Setsuna come to Haruka's aid in the next act, when Cyprine shows up at Haruka's apartment.
Unlike the anime, Setsuna has gorgeous clothes in manga that show off her tall, slim figure. She is never shown sewing and doesn't express any interests in what seems to be her trademark hobby: designing. Instead, she works at Juuban Elementary as a nurse, and Chibi-Usa tells everyone that she is Hotaru's mother (which makes them jealous).
Setsuna, of course, loves kids. It's obvious not only in the way she handles Chibi-Usa and baby/kid Hotaru, but in the way she handles Usagi as well. Setsuna is endlessly patient and usually takes a good while to lose her temper (check out SuperS, when Hotaru accidently breaks Michiru's dishes). With Chibi-Usa she is understanding but firm, even in the anime.
Setsuna's defining quality is her maturity and wisdom, making her the "mother" of all of the other senshi.
