Luna (Sailor Moon)

Luna is one of the supporting characters of Sailor Moon series. She is the cat who is a devoted servant to Princess Serenity and advisor to her mother, Queen Serenity. 
She was voiced by Keiko Han in the anime television series and the live-action series, and by Ryō Hirohashi in Sailor Moon Crystal in the Japanese version and Jill Frappier (DiC/Cloverway dubs) (who also voiced Keroppi) and currently Michelle Ruff. 
==Appearance==
Luna is a black (purple) cat with a crescent moon on her forehead.
==Personality==
Over the course of the series, Luna develops a close bond with Serena, though it is initially on uneasy terms, as Luna often upsets Serena by giving her unsolicited advice. She also becomes good friends with Amy Anderson.
==History==
When the kingdom falls, she and Artemis are put into a long sleep and sent to Earth to look after the Sailor Guardians, who are reborn there. Parts of Luna's memory are suppressed so that she must find the Sailor Guardians. She first encounters Serena Tsukino and teaches her to become Sailor Moon, unaware that she is actually the reincarnated Princess Serenity. Luna also provides the Guardians with many of their special items.
She and Artemis have an implied romantic relationship, which is confirmed when they meet Diana, who is their daughter from the future. 
In The Lover of Princess Kaguya, a side-story of the manga, she falls in love with a human named Kakeru. This story was adapted in Sailor Moon S: The Movie, and features Luna's first transformation into a human. She gets a cold and tries to find her way home despite Artemis' plea to go with her. She ends up lying in the street until Kakeru saves her from becoming roadkill.
In Act 27 of the live-action series, Luna gains the ability to turn into a young human girl, going by the name Luna Tsukino while able to become a Sailor Guardian known as "Sailor Luna". She is shown living as a human with Serena's family, with whom she gets along quite well, but still takes on her cat form when necessary. Her personality as a human girl is identical to her normal self and is easily overwhelmed by her feline nature, but she is also shown to have taken on some of the personality traits of Usagi and her mother, such as acting in the same melodramatic manner when waking up in the morning.
