It’s Setsuna’s birthday today, and yet

It’s going to be hard to put together a top 10 for Setsuna, because as far as I know, she only has approximately 4 outfits. As the Patron Saint of Wasted Potential herself, she doesn’t really get a character-oriented wardrobe because she has no character. That sounds unkind; I love Setsuna to pieces, but gosh darn if I can tell you anything about who she is as a person.


With that said. On with the list.
4. The one trait that Setsuna does have is “older than the other ones” and nothing gets that message across quite like LAVENDER SKIRT SUIT. This is the outfit that your grandmother wears to family reunions, Sunday mass, and the occasional brunch. Otherwise, it hangs up immaculately ironed in a plastic garment bag from 1983 Sears.

3. Did anyone tell Setsuna that she doesn’t need to dress like a teacher to homeschool Hotaru? You can pretty much wear whatever you want. Maybe save the deep crimson pantsuit for a benefit gala or a gay wedding. It’s strangely formal attire for an individual who just kind of chills at home with her abducted daughter.

2. Setsuna did get a pretty cute sweater dress and some nice boots for the S movie. Unfortunately, everyone would rather forget that the S movie ever happened.

1. And finally, the rare and elusive Casual Setsuna. It’s probably laundry day in the Meioh-Tenoh-Kaioh-Tomoe household, and our dear immortal goddess of time had to borrow some slacks from Haruka, a simple black top from Michiru, and a neon orange pinny from a local high school gym class to warn oncoming traffic just in case it starts to get dark.

(She was going to buy herself another matching suit but spent all her money on popsicles)
(2/2) “Cmon guys it’s easy. Like murdering your fellow teammate and daughter in cold blood.”
(previous entries in this saga here and here)
MOTHER OF THE LEGENDARY PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE RETORT
Leave it to Setsuna to throw this in as casually as possible, but not too frequently, to maintain the absolute discomfort value. She also threatens to violate the taboos of time if this house is not clean before guests arrive so help me Chronos. She doesn’t really have anything to lose; she’s been dead multiple times and it hasn’t stopped her yet.
Outer Senshi + Onion Headlines! (number ? out of ????)
Oh my goodness yes.
One year, Haruka and Michiru find cards on the table and are completely surprised that they received something other than a pointed glare for once. Inside each of the envelopes is a college-ruled lined paper note, scrawled in marker: “congrats on enduring another year without betraying your fellow soldiers”
“I wished that Haruka-papa and Michiru-mama didn’t kill us.”
“That’s a good wish. But we don’t always get what we wish for, do we?”
“No.”

Setsuna is basically the third wheel to end all third wheels.

Pluto’s status as Guardian of Time meant that her true calling as a freeze-pop connoisseur often went unrecognized.

Could you elaborate, or… Is there anything more specific you wanted to say? No? That’s fine.
