Luna (An Almost Christmas Story)

Luna is the deuteragonist who appears in the 2024 Disney+ original Christmas short An Almost Christmas Story.
==Background==
===Personality===
Luna is a girl whom Moon met at New York City at Rockefeller. During her first encounter with Moon, Luna shows empathy to him, especially when he has a broken wing. She is also compassionate towards Moon, even though he misses his home, especially when he found himself at New York City where the two bond with each other. Despite her prosthetic leg, she is able to skate properly in the ice-skating rink at Rockefeller.
==Role in the short==
Luna is first seen ice-skating in the Rockefeller ice rink where she stares upon Moon, just before she slips. Two bystanders approach her if she is all right, which she tells them that she is fine just before Moon is approached by another bystander where he finds himself at the area where a singer is strumming his guitar. Moon later finds her inside a less-crowded area at the subway station where she asks him of how he went so far from home. Moon attempts to back away, but is cared for by Luna who introduces herself to the owlet. Later, Luna and Moon approach a map after exiting the train, deciding which train to take just as Luna desires to go skating at Rockefeller again.
Luna and Moon later exit the subway station and wander around the snowy streets of New York where Moon shares his story that in his home, humans visit the forest to see the owls which his father disliked, only for Moon to be distracted seeing an owl popping out of a cuckoo clock on a window display of a shop which reminds him of his father. Luna then observes Moon's emotions, feeling for him, and as she gets hungry, she and Moon head towards a bakery shop where she buys a Christmas tree-shaped cookie for her and Moon to share. Moon, however, reacts to the cookie she gave to him, commenting that the cookie she tasted is the worst food he tasted, although she is kind to him. Moon then bonds with his human friend who is happy with him. As a bus advertising the Rockefeller Tree passes by, Moon rushes to the spot where he would find the tree but Luna chases him across the city, only for the bus to drive far away from them.
Sad that she misses home, Luna and Moon encounter a folk singer singing a song while being approached by Pat, Pelly, and Punt while Moon scolds them for bullying him in the past which Luna suddenly hears the owl talking. Pat, Pelly, and Punt then lead Luna and Moon to the Rockefeller Tree via double decker bus where Luna runs towards the ice rink at Rockefeller to keep Luna safe where he lifts him to fly to the star of the Christmas tree but is rescued by Pat who flies him to the top of the star. Luna then approaches a police officer about Moon missing his family, so he decides to call the fire department to rescue the owl. At the end of the short, Luna brings Moon back to the forest who returns to his family in his forest home.
==Trivia==
*Luna is shown to be bilingual as she is shown to occasionally speak a Spanish word, such as "¿Come?" (meaning "Want to eat?") where she asks Moon if he wants something to eat.
*It is unknown of how Luna received a prosthetic leg in the first place.
