Luna

**back to the Main Girls**

## Main Information

Luna is a Main Girl and one of the 5 Council members. Like the rest of the Council, Luna has her own demesne that she rules over as its denizens' Mother Empress. The citizens of this demesne are known as "the people of the Jade," and they have formed the "seven-fold Empire." Luna is similar to a queen bee, as all of the citizens are born from her. Her children are only given one of 2 names: Rinko and Nuli; Rinkos are the females, and Nulis are the males. Luna deems individual names a waste of time and only identifies them with numbers.

Of the many denizens of the Empire, a few are chosen to serve Luna more closely. Rinkos are given the role of handmaidens and are assigned in pairs. The handmaidens rarely part from their empress and obedience is drilled into them. Servitude is a strong desire of these Rinkos, and they are drones that hardly think for themselves. Nulis that are chosen serve Luna via the act of procreation. Sex is solely a means to an end; pleasurable foreplay is a foreign concept to the empress.

The MC gets access to Luna's demesne after being invited by Qarinah to meet each of the Council members. In order to actually meet Luna, he must first navigate the demesne's tunnels to find her audience room. The tunnels is dark and labyrinthine, and the MC can use one of the nearby candles if he's bought matches from the Convenience Store. These candles are special, as their flames point towards Luna's audience room. Lighting a candle isn't mandatory; it's possible to navigate the tunnels by memorizing the route.

Luna is polite to the MC, but she also puts on an air of superiority. While she looks down on the human, Luna does find some value in the MC, as she has him run errands in the tunnels that she can't task her subjects with. These tasks work as a good excuse for the MC to be around Luna and to learn more about the empress and her past. The MC is also helped by a lone Nuli that is planned to be killed because of the demesne's traditions, and this rabbit boy's assistance unintentionally results in Luna and her handmaidens getting Awakened. Awakening Luna once isn't enough to learn any of Luna's secrets, and the MC must do more work for Luna.

The tasks involve the MC finding, attaching, and activating unknown devices within the tunnels. It isn't long before he realizes that the tunnels seem to be alive and has its own heartbeat. The area where he can hear this heartbeat has writing in a foreign language that neither he nor Pixie recognize. Luna possesses notes that help decipher this language, and the MC is able to photograph them. When he uses the notes to translate the writing, he learns many unsavory details about Luna's past.

**The following section contains spoilers.**

The tunnels are the insides of a giant creature, and Luna's ancestors found a way to use and harvest it. Unfortunately, some indescribable disaster killed all of Luna's race except for herself, as she was in another demesne at the time. Luna has had to live as the sole survivor from a young age and has been studying the notes of her forebearers. Her studies led to an understanding on how to use the creature.

One function Luna learned was the ability to clone herself by sacrificing blood or raw material. As the sole survivor of her race, she used her kin's corpses as catalysts for creating her empire of Nulis and Rinkos. All these "children" of hers are actually her clones. She has then managed to keep her empire alive by sacrificing living clones to a machine built within the creature, as this machine produces new clones. Luna has maintained a cycle of recycling her living children into new generations with the machine for many years. This has gone on a very long time, as Luna also found a way to extend her life with the creature's power. The number of clones seem to be dwindling, so it's inevitable for Luna's race and kingdom to eventually go extinct.

The MC is horrified from this revelation and ultimately makes the choice to change Luna with his powers. Luna is notable for being the only Main Girl that can be either Awakened or Shattered. Awakened Luna is affectionate to the MC like other girls affected by Awaken while Shattered Luna is mostly emotionless like Chloe in the beginning of Act II. Luna must act like usual when around other people, so she retains her strict and royal demeanor. Luna and her subjects refer to the MC as "my Emperor" when she is Awakened and "Master" when she is Shattered. It's possible to change this title by talking to Luna.

With the empress under his control, the MC has Luna's empire and army for Act 3. He can also venture outside the tunnels with the guidance of Luna's handmaidens. There isn't much to do here, but he's able to inspect a human statue curiously decorated with a rabbit mask. It's the start of another mystery of the demesne's, but there's no further information on this. The MC can also explore the area's side streets and reunite with Nuli. Nuli has discovered a hidden lab that he believes can help save his people from extinction. It's possible for the MC to encourage Nuli to do more research in this lab, but it's currently unknown what the results of this decision will be.

## Personality

Luna prides herself as the Empress of her demesne. While she is usually polite towards the MC, she actually looks down on humans. This is made apparent by listening to her Hidden Voices, and Luna also has a habit of calling the MC a monkey. She, similar to Morgana, likes to point out his inferiority compared to herself. She also doesn't respect her own subjects, as their lives mean nothing to her. She's willing to kill off subjects that have fulfilled their purpose and sacrifices them for the kingdom's future. She also feels that the act of naming them would take too much of her time.

Even when she's been pacified by the MC's powers and dethroned, Luna prioritizes the dignity of her ruling position over playing with her own daughter. When the MC says that their child wants to play hide-and-seek, Luna believes that the activity would sully her position and sends Rinkos to seek in her stead. She is shocked and uncharacteristically emotional when she learns that her daughter's found in the demesne's old and haunted palace. Despite her clear worry over her daughter's safety, Luna is unable to straightforwardly voice it because of how much she values her royal dignity. Her actions and expressions in the moment show her true feelings though.

Luna possesses a strong sense of pragmatism and cruelty. She values her kingdom's survival over the suffering of her subjects. Luna has embedded a strong sense of obedience into her subjects; Rinko handmaidens in particular do not question her orders and barely think for themselves, and the only Nuli seen deeply fears the punishment for disobeying her. While Luna doesn't like the MC, she is polite with him in order to further her goals. Her Hidden Voices reveal that she plans on eventually sacrificing him once he's fulfilled his purpose. Luna also takes great pleasure when seeing the MC bend Rinkos to his will.

## Role

### Act I

Luna is first seen as an unnamed rabbit woman during the Council meeting that the MC spies on. The MC recalls that some Asian mythology involves rabbit women but can't remember anything specific. When Morgana states that she revived the MC with the Artifact because she found the human cute, Luna is unsurprised and amused. Like all of the other Council members, Luna asks what they should do with the MC. The MC's Drifting presence is revealed due to an outburst by Asteria, and nothing more is revealed after he flees.

### Act II

#### Luna's Storyline

##### Luna's Invitation

Luna has Qarinah send a message to the MC, requesting his attendance at her demesne. Once he has traversed through the tunnels leading to Luna's audience room, he notices that Luna is having sex with a rabbit boy. Whether he peeps or not, Luna's handmaidens go on high alert and are ready to sic unknown creatures called Mowls on him. Luna de-escalates the situation and introduces herself and her company.

She explains her demesne - her seven-fold gloried Empire - and the handmaidens that accompany her; however, Luna speaks vaguely and doesn't address the MC when he asks for more detailed explanations. What she does reveal is that she is the Mother Empress to all of her people, her children. She says that "All life flows from [her]" and that her subjects are known as "the people of the Jade." Luna states that naming all of her children as individuals would waste time, which is why both of her handmaidens are named Rinko. All females are named Rinko, and all males are named Nuli. Luna is satisfied with the meeting and allows the MC to return whenever he feels, but she doesn't allow him to re-enter the tunnels.

##### A Nuli's Plight

A few days after the meeting with Luna, the MC enters Luna's audience room at night and comes across a lone Nuli looking forlorn. The Nuli is initially frightened from being discovered, but his mood brightens when he realizes who he's talking to. He's heard from the Empress that the MC has power and asks the human for help. He explains that it is tradition for chosen Nuli to create more children with Luna; unfortunately, these Nuli are killed once their job is done. This is to prevent them from getting attached to her or from overthrowing her.

Nuli doesn't oppose this tradition, but he is too scared to die. Thus, he asks the MC to convince Luna into sparing him and offers to help accomplish this. He says that Luna won't discuss something like this in the presence of her handmaidens and states that these obedient Rinkos are always with her. The MC agrees to help Nuli and believes that he'll need to Awaken Luna in order to persuade her.

More time passes, and Nuli eventually calls over the MC upon seeing him visit in the morning. Nuli has found out an opportunity for the MC to speak with Luna alone: the ritual Cleansing of Seven Waters. As a part of this ritual the handmaidens go to a sacred area in the morning in order to prepare these Waters, leaving Luna alone. The MC asks Nuli where this area is, as he wants to persuade the Rinkos for private time with Luna. This ritual only gives the MC one chance to be alone with Luna, and he'd prefer having a permanent avenue instead. Nuli isn't told why the MC wants to visit the sacred area, but he's convinced to bring the human there. He dismisses himself before the MC enters the area, as Nulis aren't allowed.

The MC meets with the Rinko duo and attempts to plead his case, but they panic at the sight of this intruder and refuse to listen to him. He underestimated Luna's hold on her handmaidens, and he's forced to act when they call for a guard; the MC either Awakens or Shatters them to prevent this. He then has the girls call off the guard and swear loyalty to him alone. Under his orders, they are to act normally unless given other commands. It's also possible for the MC to have a threeway with them.

##### Luna's First Task: Finding a Metal Object

With Luna's handmaidens under his control, the MC requests a private audience with the empress. Luna is taken aback and offended by his boldness but chooses to grant the request. She brings the MC to her room with the Rinkos accompanying them. Rather than hear out her guest, Luna tells the MC that she requires an item from the tunnels. When asked why she doesn't have her subjects do the job, she expresses her doubt about their capabilities. The exceptions to this are thirty-three and thirty-six - her handmaidens. Luna states that she designates numbers to her children for identification, and these numbers are etched on their feet.

The MC is baffled from this information, and he can be either disgusted or impressed by Luna's callous treatment of her children. Luna expresses indifference in both cases, but she will call the MC a "tree-swinging ape" if the former happens. She will then describe the object as something long, metallic, and "with large fins that loop around its cylindrical core." Luna refuses to explain this object's purpose and reopens the tunnels for the MC, telling him to head southeast.

The MC's trip through the tunnels is a short one, and he finds a large tooth-like statue as well as the object that Luna described. Pixie is pretty freaked out by the statue and claims that it's moving. The MC says that the object looks ancient before taking it and making his way out of the tunnels. Luna is pleasantly surprised by the MC's achievement and takes him to her chambers once more.

The MC hands over the object to Luna for appraisal, and she is greatly pleased upon confirming its authenticity. This reaction stirs Luna's desires - reliable, power, dominant - enough for the MC to sense them and get the jump on Luna. He first orders the Rinkos to leave the room, surprising Luna and illustrating his dominance. He then Awakens the shaken Luna and has her focus on his power. The MC uses his control over thirty-three and thirty-six as an example of his dominance, and Luna responds strongly whenever he says the word "dominant."

The window for Luna's conditioning is brief, but it's enough to influence her. She has the MC order the Rinkos back into the room and takes great pleasure from seeing him bend them to his will. Luna then admits that she underestimated the MC and decides to reward him by flashing her chest. She knows that humans are interested in breasts but doesn't quite get why. She then offers to give more rewards if the MC does more tasks for her in the future.

##### Luna's Second Task: Activating a Machine

A few days later, Luna summons the MC to her chambers and gives him back the device in a refurbished condition. His task this time is to install the gizmo into a particular spot within the tunnels. The directions he needs to go are 1 West -> 4 South -> 3 East. Luna offers no explanation besides her instructions, and the MC notes her vagueness.

The designated area has groaning and undulating walls as well as a goopy hole that's the perfect size for the device. Nothing happens after the device is inserted, and the MC can choose to kick, punch, or lick the hole's wall. If he licks it, then he'll note that it tastes like a gooey car battery. Regardless of choice, the wall secretes ichor that hisses as it drips onto the floor. The MC then notices some sigils etched above the hole, but they're indecipherable. Pixie has been freaking out up to this point, but she calms down when asked to read the writing. She says that she can't read them, but they're familiar to her. She feels that she \*should\* be able to read them, which weirds her out. With no solutions to try, the two return to Luna.

The MC reports that the device is broken, and Luna seems puzzled. The MC again questions why Luna doesn't send her handmaidens for tasks like this, but she states that they are unsuited for that. Her guest remains unconvinced and tries to have thirty-three and thirty-six give their opinions; however, they don't respond to being called and the MC finds it odd. The group then convenes in Luna's chambers once again.

Luna describes the writing in the tunnels as an ancient dialect of her people that hasn't been used for a millennia. Even Luna doesn't know how to read the language, but she possesses a tome that can be used for translation. She has one of the Rinkos fetch this tome, and the MC once again feels that the handmaiden's behavior feels off. He then plans on eventually taking the important book, as it should give him answers on what's going on in the demesne. Once Luna finishes reading, she says that fixing the machine is simple. All the MC must do is press the symbols in the correct order for the device to activate. However, Luna slips on her words and first says that this will *wake* the device, not activate it. She quickly corrects herself, but the MC is unsettled by the implications.

After being given the correct order, the MC tries to ask for a peek in the tome, but these attempts are brushed off by Luna. She says that he should feel honored at even getting to gaze at it. Before he can dismiss himself, the MC is asked to show off the act of masturbation. Luna has gotten curious about human procreation after giving him his first reward, but her kingdom has few books on the subject; she says that her ancestors always found humans to be beneath them. Luna claims that she isn't like this and wishes to contribute to the kingdom's knowledge by recording a "pre-intercourse ritual."

If the MC chooses to comply, then he will show Luna a different ritual than planned and gets behind her. Luna puts on a brave face in response, but the MC feels her trembling. Before she can protest further, the MC starts fingering Luna. The empress is surprised by the strange pleasure affecting her and eventually asks for more. The MC wonders if Luna has had sex solely for procreation, and he finds the idea pitiable. Luna then ends up orgasming and is practically knocked out. The MC then chooses to take his leave and calls thirty-three and thirty-six to clean up their liege. The handmaidens don't immediately respond, but the MC eventually gets them to tidy up before he leaves.

##### Deeper into the Tunnels

The MC and Pixie make their way back to the device and input the given code. A loud noise emits from within the tunnels, and the duo believe that they're done; however, a second noise catches the MC's attention and points him towards a newly opened tunnel. The MC brushes off Pixie's pleas to leave and comes across a set of soft cables protruding from the walls. He can also hear a heartbeat, which freaks Pixie out more. More of the ancient writing is etched into the out-of-place cylinders and the MC's resolve to get Luna's tome is strengthened.

When the MC returns to the audience room, he finds that Luna is absent and that the handmaidens are discussing something about "previous vessels." The MC ask the duo to do something for him, and they are happy to comply; they have been ordered by their Empress to obey any commands given by the MC. He asks if the kingdom has any sleep aids, and the Rinkos confirm that they do. They inform him that Luna often requires a draught in her tea to sleep at night, commenting that her responsibilities are a heavy burden. The MC asks them to serve Luna with tea containing a strong dosage the next time he meets with her.

Luna has already confirmed that the machine is fixed by the time the MC next meets with her. She has no current tasks to discuss him, and the MC has to ask for another meeting with her. Luna grants this as thanks for his achievements. The MC asks for some information about the tunnels in order to stall for the drugged tea's arrival. Luna says that not even her people know about the tunnels' secrets, so there's no way that she would tell the MC. He exclaims that the tunnels are alive and that he could aid Luna more if he knew these secrets. Luna grows irritated by the MC's insistence, and he has to change the topic by either buttering her up or demonstrating what cunnilingus is.

If he goes with the former, then Luna's mood quickly improves as the MC tells her that her demesne is the most impressive of the Council's. Otherwise, Luna is amused by the MC's offering of more sexual knowledge and concludes that he's obsessed with her Empress body. She's condescending about the affair, much to the MC's chagrin. Luna is again surprised by how good she feels from the MC's treatment and seems to entertain the idea of having sex with him. Before she can think on it more, one of the handmaidens arrives to serve the drugged tea.

Luna is confused and annoyed by the unexpected drink, but she takes it anyway. Before she falls asleep, she mutters that each batch of Rinkos is worse than the last and says that she'll "have to replace her again soon." The draught acts fast, and the Rinkos inform the MC that its dosage was double the usual amount. The duo then hand over Luna's tome once requested to.

The MC is worried about how he'll manage to read such an ancient and mystical book until he opens it up to find a smaller notebook within. He is appalled by this, as he describes the notebook as a cheatsheet and the ancient tome as nothing more than a fancy-looking sham that only serves to make Luna look more important. The notes indicate that the language has gone through multiple iterations, making the MC wonder how old the demesne's civilization is. He believes that the notes will translate the writing and takes photos of them.

##### The Tunnels' Secrets

The MC and Pixie return to pipe area, and Pixie takes a nap while her partner spends hours translating the writing. Upon finishing his task, the MC is rendered speechless by what he's learned. He then takes the time to exposit the tunnels' dark secrets to a confused Pixie.

He begins by explaining that the entirety of the tunnels are the insides of a large behemoth that was discovered by Luna's ancestors. These people found out a way to use this creature by attaching technology onto it and harvesting it. The passages then mention some sort of vague impending disaster before the writing abruptly stops.

What follows are much more recent notes written by a new author: Luna as a child. Luna describes the disaster as something that killed off all of her people. The only reason she survived was because she was within a different demesne at the time. Pixie questions how Luna can be the only survivor of her race when she has an entire empire of rabbit people, and the MC explains that one function of the creature that Luna learned was cloning. Each and every one of her "children" are in actuality clones of herself.

Feeding the machine within the creature with enough blood or biological material creates imperfect clones of the user. The MC comes to the grim conclusion that Luna must have used the dead bodies of her people as fuel to clone herself; however, he also says that dead flesh is inefficient and that large quantities would be required for a single clone. Living people, on the other hand, would be much more effective. Luna's own clones - her own living children - would give a better trade-off. The MC says that she sacrifices them when they "show signs of breaking down."

Pixie then asks why Luna would make children with Nulis if she can clone herself. The MC responds by saying that she's looking for a different way to increase the population; he believes that she's losing more clones than she can produce and is possibly trying to move away from cloning altogether. Both Pixie and the MC know that reproducing with oneself is a flawed plan, as this leads to no genetic diversity. The MC states that Luna's people are doomed. When Pixie asks how long this has been happening, the MC says that this has been going for a long, long time. Another function of the behemoth is extending one's lifespan, which Luna utilized. After these significant revelations, the MC resolves to finally get some straight answers from the Empress.

The MC storms into Luna's audience room, furiously demanding to talk with her. Luna is deeply insulted by his impudent behavior and plans to execute the man-thing after hearing him out. Before the MC questions Luna, he demands that the handmaidens show him the numbers on their feet. They ignore his orders, and his fears have been confirmed. Luna orders that the pair's feet be shown, and the numbers etched are 49 and 47. The Rinkos known as thirty-three and thirty-six were sacrificed many days ago, and the MC could vaguely discern that something was off whenever he talked with their replacements; the Rinkos under his control referred to him as either "my lord" or "Master" while the new ones simply called him "Sir."

Luna coldly states that she did what was necessary. The MC is baffled, shouting that feeding her people to the creature is not the way to save them. Luna snaps back by saying that this is the only thing she can do. As the last of her kind, she must do whatever's necessary to prevent her people's extinction. The killing of her people are short-term sacrifices to reach the long-term survival. She justifies this by saying that the sacrificed people were breaking down anyway, calling them old and worthless. Even her handmaidens are shocked upon hearing their Mother Empress' harsh words.

Luna goes on to say that she will eventually figure out how to bend the machine to her will. Even if it takes more generations' worth of research, Luna believes that she must do this. She says that she can't stop after all that she's done. The MC has been trying to plead to Luna throughout her speech, but she refuses to listen. He has angered her, and she plans on feeding him to the machine. The MC has no choice but to use a high strength Awaken or Shatter on her.

Before he can start conditioning Luna, the MC first has to Awaken or Shatter forty-nine and forty-seven as well. This decision is superfluous and has little effect on their dialogue. The MC sends the pair away to guard the entrance once he's conditioned them to obey him. He then returns to influencing Luna, telling her that all the things she's done up to this point have been mistakes. Sacrificing her people and threatening the MC were mistakes as a result of her being a bad leader. The conditioning is finished once the MC tells Luna that she wants to devote herself to him, as she finds him far better than herself.

Awakened Luna is eager to please the MC and is apologetic about her deeds. The once proud empress is no longer interested in ruling, but she will continue to do so under the MC's orders. Shattered Luna is told that she is nothing, and so she robotically awaits commands. If the MC has sex with her, then he will order her to feel pleasure from it. With either personality, Luna is ready to send her army at anyone that would threaten the MC, which he'll keep in mind for the future. For now, he simply has the former empress act like normal.

#### Control of the Demesne

While Luna is still ruling the demesne, the MC is officially the emperor now. If he chose to Awaken Luna, then she and all Rinkos will address him as "my Emperor" by default; otherwise, they will call him "Master." Custom titles can be made by talking with Luna. The option to have group sex together with Luna and her handmaidens is also unlocked. Luna will call her Rinkos "servants" when under Awaken and "slaves" when under Shatter in the h-scene.

There is also the option to publically humiliate Luna, and following this through would give her the Commoner Quirk. When selecting this option, the MC can choose to say that he's better than that. It's then possible to permanently remove this option if so desired. If the MC is sadistic enough to humiliate Luna, then he will order her to wear the oldest and smelliest commoner clothing available. Luna leaves and then returns wearing nothing but blue overalls, looking very uncomfortable and hesitant. She is then shocked when the MC tells her that they'll be going outside while she's like this. Luna has no choice but to obey her Emperor.

The MC then obtains a leash, and he chooses to parade Luna in front of her citizens while she's collared. The Rinko citizens are shocked to see their former empress in such a state, but none seem to pity her. The MC continuously mocks her commoner status and relentlessly stomps on her pride. He then has Luna repeat his degrading statements about her. She is very hesitant at first, but she's eventually pressured enough for her to scream that she is dirty commoner. The MC can then escalate the humiliation further by having public sex with her right on the streets. By the time he chooses to do so, Luna is broken enough that she constantly orgasms from her degradation.

##### Exploring the Outside

With Luna under his control, the MC is able to access the outside with the help of the handmaidens. Because they're only on duty during the day, the MC can't go outside at night. The new area is an Asian town with Rinkos milling about. These Rinkos have different and much more colorful clothing compared to the handmaidens. The MC can chat with a nearby Rinko, and she's happy to service her Emperor in public.

The MC finds this area bigger than he imagined and even feels that the buildings seem too big for Luna and her kingdom. When he takes a look at the nearby giant, rabbit-faced statue, he notices that its face doesn't match its body. If he opts to climb it and passes a Physical check, then he'll find that the statue has been wearing a wooden rabbit mask. The statue's actual face is one of a human's, and the MC is shocked to see evidence of humans in this rabbit-filled demesne. This isn't the only evidence of humans once existing here, as it's possible for him to find a human bust within the tunnels.

##### Reunion with Nuli

If the MC chooses to explore the side streets, then he will find that his Nuli acquaintance has been hiding here. He is surprised that Nuli is still alive, as he figured that the rabbit lad had already been sacrificed like the handmaidens. Nuli has been hearing rumors that the MC became the Emperor and is happy to hear that it's true.

He then leads the MC through a secret path leading into an old laboratory. There are notes written about saving Luna's race from extinction, and these were written after the major civilization-ending calamity. Both the MC and Nuli don't understand how this could be possible when only Luna survived the cataclysm. Regardless, these old notes exist, and Nuli is able to understand some of them. The MC doesn't believe that Nuli finding this important lab is a coincidence and wonders if knowledge of this place was passed down to Nuli through his genetics. The possibility that the clones could retain some residual memories from their predecessors seems plausible to the MC.

The MC can then choose to encourage Nuli to further research into this matter. He then suggests the idea of bringing Luna here, as she has knowledge on the demesne's tech; however, Nuli fearfully begs the MC to not tell Luna about this. Seeing his companion's terror, the MC promises to not inform Luna and then takes his leave. He can then check up on Nuli, and the rabbit boy will cheerfully say that he's making some progress in deciphering the notes.

If the MC instead chooses to discourage Nuli, then he will point out how twisted Luna ended up after she became a researcher. He says that having another person go down Luna's path would be a mistake. Nuli seems unconvinced and voices his concern about his people fading away. The MC tells Nuli to move on and try to be happy. When he checks up on Nuli again, the rabbit lad is clearly depressed and barely talks. The MC is dismissive after seeing this.

## Act 3

Luna doesn't currently appear within Act 3 in the game's current version.
