Luna (AST)

Luna is a talking black-purple cat that advises Usagi Tsukino/Sailor Moon and the rest of the Guardian Senshi

## Appearance

Luna is black with sleek fur and has a crescent moon on her forehead. She is very petite with long whiskers.

## Personality

Luna is a rather prim and proper lady despite being in the body of a cat. She tends to speak rather formally to others and is generally polite and respectful. She's a rather focused individual, taking her duties as guardian and advisor rather seriously which can frustrate her when her charges don't take their own duties the same. This leads her to coming off as a nag.

## Information

Luna is introduced going with Usagi and Minako to rescue Artemis from the pound. They got there just after he was rescued by C-chan causing Luna to accuse in of carousing with common alley cats. This caused C-chan to whack her head into the ground with her paw in retaliation. While Usagi teased her a little both she and Minako were tired so just took the two back home.

Meeting at Hikawa Jinja shrine Ami went over the finding she had about C-chan which were inconclusive. The cause Luna to jealously insult her again and when Usagi started teasing her she angrily accused C-chan of being an agent of some evil organization who suckered Artemis before he shut her up so that Ami could continue.

Both Ami and Rei had gotten disturbing readings from Nerima. This caused Makoto to tell them that she was being transferred to Furinkan High School due to the combination of the rumors about her and the time spent fighting youma making her look like a delinquent. She saw this as a good opportunity to perform reconnaissance and see if the new teacher everyone was talking about was a youma. Ami agreed and decided go that night to get some readings. Artemis quickly jumped at the opportunity to join her which Luna immediately called bull on.

When Makoto informed the Inners, Artemis, and Luna about Kasumi’s curse they were naturally shocked. After researching Ami discovered that Jusenkyo might have a connection to Moon Kingdom as the creator also made the Henshin sticks. After Makoto signed off Ami remembered that C-chan she had some involvement with Jusenkyo. Luna became ecstatic at this revelation finding it hilarious that Artemis was chasing after some human. Her amusement was short lived when Minako pointed out that the Mau can take on human forms.

When Usagi and Minako were transferred to Kasumi’s Class Artemis and Luna had to come along for the ride. When the senshi were invited to the beach location of the San Cheng Huang they were kept discretely away from Kasumi. Artemis caught hell from Luna at every available moment. When C-chan appeared with Akane, things became that much worse for poor Artemis, as the two female cats immediately noticed each other. Tired of Luna’s yelling Artemis decided to go and talk with C-chan. Seeing Usagi smirking at her Luna repeated to herself that she wasn’t jealous.

Happy at the fact that Usagi was studying more Luna didn’t tell her that she was planning to spy on Frost. However just as she was in the process of sneaking into the doctor's office, lamenting that she didn’t really know how to act around Artemis not that knew they would be together in the future, Usagi showed up. Their arguing attracted the attention of Frost. Luckily Frost didn’t question it when she claimed that she was talking to herself. When Frost left to help Tofu Usagi had Luna be look out while she snuck into her room.

Much to Luna’s shock and Artemis’ excitement C-chan interrupted a Senshi meeting to reveal that she had been transformed into a luna cat. Mousse introduced himself a Selene and unable to truly reveal the full nature of his situation,  gave Frost cover story that he was her familiar.

The Inner’s started to discuss the ramifications of Frost turning Selene into a luna cat, remembering that she was there going into specifics. By this point Luna had gotten over her shock and reminded them about jusenkyo. Ami scanned her again and got the same reading she received from Herb. Incensed at the thought that Frost might have trapped Selene Usagi decided to confront her. Minako went with her just in case. Selene excused herself shortly afterwards.

Luna asked Artemis if he was turned off by the fact she might be human, but he had already come to terms with that, even asking Ami if the similar patterns met that he and Luna had curses.
Given a week off, Luna had expected at least some of Usagi's energy would be available to turn to her studies. Only for her to make every effort to dodge school work that she could, except when Kotori around. However her thoughts were more focused on Selene both paranoid and happy at the fact that she hadn’t been seen all this time. Which is why she was unhappy when she caught the pink cat trying to sneak into the dorms.

Making her way to Usagi’s room she closed the window so she couldn’t get in. Much to her surprise Selene opened it by transforming into a human. When she confronted Selene she explained that it was an ability that familiars had. Learning that she and Artemis may in fact be somehow linked to the magic of Jusenkyo was one thing, but seeing now that Selene could willingly transform her body was something totally new. Since Artemis was asleep Selene asked Luna if she new Sailor Moon, having realized that Ami, Minako, Makoto, and Usagi, were the Sailor Senshi. Luna could not hide her anxiety at the question, and so forced to admit that it was true told her not to tell anyone.

Selene explained ho Frost needed the Moon’s help to repair the Kaisuifu and while she didn’t promise anything she agreed to tell the senshi her request. With that out of the way Selene asked Luna why she seemed to hate her, and realizing that she was jealous of her, assured her that she had no interest in him and wasn’t even attracted to men. Luna was mildly surprised by this, and watched Selene leave trying to contemplate what she meant by that before shaking it off as silly. After waking up Artemis they went to tell the inners what happened.

When Usagi was kidnapped Artemis and Luna saw the Senshi and Tuxedo Mask off as they teleported to Hotel La Bac and could only wait nervously for their return. That waiting came to an abrupt end when they returned minus Uranus. Luna rushed over to ask them what happened only to pause in shock upon seeing Seiya. Mamoru de-transformed and rushed off with Usagi to find a doctor. Jupiter was about to follow him but was stopped by Venus as it would be easier for him to explain things if they stayed behind. By this point Luna had grown tired of being ignored and demanded they explain what was going on, something Seiya herself agreed with.

Usagi lured the others to the park only to reveal herself to be Quaoar.  Luna and Artimis stayed hidden only coming out when it became clear that she knew they were there. Though they didn’t like it they agreed to go with her. Now that it appeared that Cosmos was reawakening they were invited, at Quaoar's request, to speak on behalf of Usagi. However, the final decision remained that of the Ascended. They ultimately agreed to allow let Usagi live.
