I've been wondering about this, when I was thinking about each of the Sailor Senshi.. I get this impression Takeuchi made Neptune seem like the perfect lady.. what do you guys think of it? I mean, she's elegant, graceful, feminine, (some say smart), good at everything it seems.. and nothing really negative about her character..
Here are some flaws in the other characters: (well..not really flaws..but ya get what I mean XD)
Usagi- clumsy, ditsy, cry-baby,
Rei- Firey temper (seems to be a little more mean compared to the others, particularly in first season)
Ami- Low self-esteem
Makoto- A little too boy-crazy
Minako- Sorta boycrazy too (not really.. but.. XD), ditsy like Usagi
Haruka,Setsuna dont seem to have flaws either... but their characters dont seem to be portrayed as 'elegant' as Michiru.
This is open to discussion. Just some thoughts..

Well... I agree that she does most of the time look perfect. But she isn't, no one really is.
Michiru is known from S to be a jealous type, she was constantly commenting on Harkua's attraction to Usagi and the other inner senshi.
But for most of it, she is graceful, elegant and pretty much just a flawless character, except for her jealous nature.

Yeh that's true...now it seems the outer senshi (minus Hotaru probably) are portrayed more flawless compared to the Inner senshi. This makes them look more powerful in a way too. The Outer senshi can be quite ruthless too while in battle (S Season) when trying to do their mission.

michiru has a fault. that fault would be: sea cucumbers and attacking the inner senshi in the manga...
but those are not the flaws you refer to... huh?

However much as I love Michiru, I couldn't say she was flawless... Yes, she's elegant, refined, pretty, talented, caring etc etc, and I'm not sure I'd call her the jealous type (I'd save that for Haruka I think), but as Sailor Neptune, she can come across as quite cold at times. I know they thought their mission would involve sacrificing the innocent but the fact that she was ready to do it (and even leave Uranus behind in the process (the debate is whether she really could do that)) shows that she can't be totally perfect or her pure and noble heart wouldn't allow her to even think of it.
Was Michiru not supposed to be the exact opposite of Usagi (and Takeuchi-san herself)?

That's an interesting point you brought up SC. That's another questionable thing..if they are so ruthless, why do they hold the three Pure Heart Crystal (Tasliman..hm..that spelling looks wrong, but anyways ^^) that form the Holy Grail..unless that was a misleading idea since Usagi's heart Crystal was so different (hahah..even more pure..the True Messiah)
How so?

I read somewhere that she was created by Takeuchi to be the opposite of Usagi, and Usagi is supposed to be the character that is Takeuchi, as it were... I don't know if it's true that she did it intentionally, but they are pretty much opposites... Michiru is the logic to Usagi's ditziness, the elegance to her clumsiness, the intelligence to Usagi's... lack of it, lol...

Michiru's flaw?
this could be reading into to it too much but i believe her flaw is the fatalistic way she views her duties to save the universe by sacrificing her love/relationship/whatever she has with Haruka

Is that a flaw? They said that if it came to it, they would leave the other and save themselves so that one of them could survive to carry out the mission. She doesn't think she has to sacrifice Haruka in order to save the universe....
