Mamoru Chiba/Tuxedo Mask

Mamoru is very protective of those he cares about, risking his life to save them. He has suffered from loneliness and depression his entire life, and has trauma from the death of his parents resulting in memory loss (until midway through the first season). Because of this, he seems very cold-natured initially and lacks many friends. He can also be blunt, which has led to him sometimes upsetting those around him due to his harsh words. However, Mamoru also has a good nature and while his words may seem critical, there is good intent behind them: his ultimate purpose (similar to Rei) is typically to inspire the person to better themselves. Mamoru also cares for Usagi greatly, as well as the other Sailor Guardians. Multiple times, Mamoru shows that he is willing to sacrifice his own life to protect Usagi purely out of love for her; this can be seen in True Love Awakens: The Makai Tree’s Secret, where Mamoru shields Usagi from blasts of energy, despite not even having his memories for her back at the time. Mamoru also shows a rather serious side especially early in the series; then, he is determined to obtain the Silver Crystal at all costs, and does not mind taking Sailor Moon's Rainbow Crystal or taking any advantage he can. At this point in his life however, he is likely acting moreso out of desperation to remember his past than with malice.
