The general interpretation of the kanji is Distant Sky King. A breakdown of the kanji follows:
"ten'ou haruka" = "sky king is
distant"
ten'ou = "sky king"
TEN = sky, heavens
OU = king
haruka = faraway, distant
As well, the Japanese name for the planet of Uranus is Ten'ou-sei.
Haruka is a very skilled athlete who is also very interested in auto racing. She also has an artistic side in that she is a very skilled pianist. This helps to make her a fairly well-rounded individual; an example of the "Rennaissance Man" ideal may be seen in Haruka.
In her untransformed form, she also enjoys teasing the rest of the Inner Senshi by flirting with them. Also, Haruka is often seen wearing men's clothes; this is her preference. Due to this, there are sometimes questions about what gender Haruka is; fans often speculate on this. However, according to Takeuchi Naoko, Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon creator, Haruka is totally female.
As Sailor Uranus, Haruka is very dedicated to her mission of finding the Talismen to form the Holy Grail (Sailor Moon S Season). This is seen through the fact that she is willing to sacrifice her soulmate's life (Michiru) in order to achieve their goals.
When Haruka first appears in the Sailor Moon S series, she is 16 years old and goes to Mugen Gakuen High School. In the Sailor Moon Sailor Stars series she goes to Juuban High School with the rest of the Senshi save for Setsuna and Hotaru.
In spite of the fact that Haruka denies vemiantly that there is not a relationship between her and Haruka, there is; the two are a couple according to Takeuchi Naoko. Haruka serves as the 'male' aspect of the relationship to the 'female', submissive (most of the time) Michiru.
