In the manga only, she demonstrates some other special abilities, such as protecting the Senshi from a deadly attack. The items always spring into existence, seemingly out of thin air, and it is unclear whether she is creating them herself or simply producing them from some other location. In the manga, anime, and live-action series, Luna provides the Senshi with many of their special items, particularly early on. Luna has blue eyes in the manga and live-action series, but red eyes in the anime. She found Usagi Tsukino first and taught her to become Sailor Moon, not knowing that this was merely a disguise meant to hide Usagi's true identity as the reincarnated princess. Part of Luna's memory was suppressed, in order to make her task easier she only knew that she was supposed to find and awaken the Guardian Senshi. When the kingdom fell, she and Artemis were put into a long sleep and sent down to Earth to look after the Senshi, who would eventually be reborn there. In the Silver Millennium, she was a servant to Princess Serenity, sworn never to leave her side, as well as an advisor to the Queen.
Luna ( ルナ Runa ?) first appears in the first episode or act of every version of the series. Grigsby considers the cat characters to blend pre-modern ideas about feminine mystery and modern ideas such as the lucky cat. They are shown to have additional physical forms, a deeper backstory, and even an unrequited love or two.Īlthough Luna takes the largest role of the three, technically Artemis was the first he figures prominently in Codename: Sailor V, the manga series which preceded Sailor Moon. The feline characters are featured less prominently as the series progresses, but increased emphasis is placed on them as more than counselors. In addition, they are able to produce special items that allow the Senshi to awaken, or that strengthen their powers. They are able to advise the Sailor Senshi on their duties, on the history of the Moon Kingdom, and on ancient legends which illuminate the best course of action. Throughout the series, the cats serve as mentors and confidantes, as well as a source of information and new tools. Because of this close association with the moon, they are each named after Greek and Roman moon goddesses (even though Artemis the cat is male). The two older cats, Luna and Artemis, lived millennia before the main plot in the Moon Kingdom and acted as advisors to Queen Serenity -the third, Diana, is much younger and was originally born on Earth. Each has the power of speech, and bears a crescent moon symbol on his or her forehead. The Sailor Moon metaseries includes three different cat characters who act as advisors to their respective owners. Artemis, Diana, and Luna in the anime, upon Diana's introduction in the anime.
