Tomoe Saito

Tomoe Saito's life is turned upside down when a flash of celestial light cuts through the darkness behind the school gym, leading to an encounter with Usagi Tsukino in her Sailor Moon form. Usagi awakens Tomoe's latent powers, revealing her destiny as the chosen Guardian, Sailor Riptide, with ocean-based abilities that mirror the tides and shadowed depths. Initially resistant and flustered by this new magical-girl reality, Tomoe struggles to accept her powers and the responsibility that comes with them, especially while trying to protect her closest friend by keeping her Guardian identity a secret. However, when the electric villain Shockrin attacks, Tomoe is thrust into action and must trust Usagi's guidance to embrace her destiny. Through this trial, she learns that true strength arises from courage, loyalty, trust, and the unbreakable bonds she shares with her friends, marking a pivotal moment in her journey as she begins to understand the true essence of being a Guardian.
