## Trivia

* The moon theming of Moona's moveset (Crescent Moon, Moon Goddess, Moon Song) is a reference to Moona's moon and stars visual theming that would later become her unofficial lore of being a moon goddess.
	+ According to her official lore, Moona is just a (now graduated) uni student, but her diva-like singing voice, her High Tide MV, and her performance at the 3rd HoloFes popularized the Moon Goddess persona among fans.
		- In her *Holo no Graffiti* debut, Moona stated that she is an 'indie goddess' of the moon, even using her powers to convert La+ Darkness's horns into styrofoam. (However, it is not known whether it should be taken as a confirmation that Moona is indeed a goddess.)
* Moon Goddess is likely based on Moona's *High Tide* animated music video with her appearance being based on the "Goddess" Hoshinova, while her attack is based on the "Hero" Moona.
* Moon Song is a reference to Moona's popular *MoonUtau* (Moona Singing) unarchived singing streams where she would spend hours singing mostly English Pop music.
* Moona & Hoshinova is a reference to Moona's two opposite personalities, the motherly and casual Moona and the sadistic and domineering Hoshinova. Originally, fans used Hoshinova to refer to any moment where Moona becomes unhinged or angry such during the Piggy Bank Incident or during her GTA V stream. When the Moon Goddess Moona concept became more popular, fans began to associate it with the existing Hoshinova lore.
* Lunar Construction is a reference to Moona's Minecraft skill and her connection with Usada Pekora's Usada Construction (Usaken).
	+ During the period when Pekora was taking a break from Minecraft, Moona would continue to build under the Usaken banner, continuing the technological evolution within the HoloJP Minecraft server even after the big two construction companies (Usaken/Akukin) went on hiatus. When the HoloID server was later opened, Moona was one of the founding members and became the teacher for Hololive ID members, resulting in the ID Server being noted for being the most technologically advanced and aesthetically cohesive of the three Hololive Minecraft Servers. The design of HoloCure's Lunar Rabbits being mechanical bunnies likely alludes to Moona's technological prowess in Minecraft.
	+ Lunar Rabbits are a reference to the association of the Pekora and Moona relationship with the Sino-Asian mythology of the Moon Rabbit and the Moon Goddess. In the myth, the rabbits are either subordinate or friend of the Moon Goddess, while in Hololive Moona is the subordinate of the rabbit (princess) Pekora.
* Moona is currently the only Holocure character whose eyes in her icon are looking to the left.
	+ The only other character whose icon does not look to the right is Subaru, who seems to be looking at the player.
