General Characteristics:
Scorpios are known for their intense, powerful natures. They have a cam, dignified, and reserved demeanor with an electrifying undercurrent of intensity. They have an abundance of energy, but are able to harness it well by appearing very self-controlled. Their inner intensity often results in ice-cold restraint and detachment. They always maintain a tranquil and placid (yet watchful) composure. They will never be found at the center of activity, and may even give the appearance of being withdrawn from it, though they are actually extremely watchful of it and very concerned over it, needing to know the reasons behind everything. In social situations, Scorpios are pleasant to be with and thoughtful in conversation. However, their intense nature and penetrating eyes can make those who are shyer feel defenseless. They are deeply sensitive and easily moved by their emotions, but have a marked propensity for extreme likes and dislikes. They can easily be aroused to ferocious anger which often manifests itself with destructive speech or actions which can make lifelong enemies. They find it difficult not to be overly critical of those that they dislike. Their sensitivity and pride cause them to be easily hurt and quick to feel insult or injury, even when none is intended. This same sensitivity can make them the best and most loyal friend or the most treacherous of enemies. While Scorpios are very demanding of others, they will never ask anyone to do anything they wouldn't do themselves. They can be fanatically focused on their work, and expect the same of those around them. They are often guilty of an "all of nothing" attitude.

How Setsuna fits the profile:
Setsuna is one of the most calm characters in Sailor Moon. As a senshi, she is usually the one who keeps the coolest head. She seems detached from much of the action, but is actually quite involved, though often reserving her appearances for the times when she is needed the most. She rarely voices her opinions about things, having a very reserved personality. She seems intensely focused on her work as a senshi, which is a valuable skill for one who must guard the gates of time! She takes her job very seriously. She is passionate about whatever she does, and never takes half measures. She even risked her life to stop time in order to aid the mission of the senshi.
