## Appearance

Luna Lunatic is a tall, slender red-headed woman with a small waist with fairly wide hips, two small triangular black eyelashes, puce eyeshadow, and navy blue lipstick. She wears a ragged blanket, styled into a strapless floor-length skirted flapper dress with a long fringe, a fluffy crown-shaped pillow on her head, and finger-less gloves that are two sleeping masks.

Her hair also becomes shoulder-length and messy

In Luna's introduction, she wears normal blue pajamas with gold star patterns and a sleeping mask.

## Personality

Luna appears to be very scary and expresses emotion towards the player, like how she acts mad at you when you wake her up, then scared when transforming to her second phase, and how menacing she looks in her final phase. It also turns out that her death screen quotes is like a scenario of her telling you a bedtime story throughout the game.

You can also here yawning, alien beam noises, and snoring from her overworld sprite, which explains why she is nocturnal.

## Phases and Knockouts

### **Phase 1**

Luna's first phase shows her in her normal form. It starts off with a normal girl in pajamas sleeping, and clenches her jaw getting annoyed at the player for waking her up, and then gets off from her bed with the blanket, pillow, and mask forming into her fancy outfit, and glares at the player with a tense and triggered expression. The player stands on floating pillows as platforms, while Luna stands on a bed, using her attacks.

### **First Phase Powers**

**Ninja "Stars"** - Like Hilda Berg's stars in her final phase, Luna would turn away dramatically and summon these gold stars in her hands, looks back at the player with a witch-like smile, and toss the stars at the player as they transform into literal ninja stars and they move in some directions up-and-down. In expert mode, the stars move faster.

**Crown Boomerang** - Luna would take off her pillow crown and toss it in a boomerang behavior, and the player would have to carefully duck or jump on a lower pillow platform to dodge it. She'll repeat this attack four times, but in expert mode she repeats it 6 times.

**Spine-chilling Stomp** - Luna would do a curtsy with her dress, to make her feet visible as the bed she stands on randomly turns metal and stomps on it shaking her legs, making a ripple targeting the player.

### **Phase 2**

Luna would act scared and hide underneath her blanket dress, and get abducted by an alien beam, removing the roof, revealing a space-like background. She now sits in a UFO, controlling it, and the player now can stand on the bed. Luna has not yet changed form.

### **Second** **Phase Powers**

**UFO Laser** - Luna would activate a laser coming out from the bottom of the UFO and the laser would move around from side to side (Invincibility (Super Art II) or Smoke Bomb is mainly required for this move). In expert mode, the laser would move farther.

**Busting Bombs** - Luna would activate a three tubes that shoot out bombs (1st tube pointing to the left, 2nd to the right, and 3rd facing downwards).

### **Final** **Phase**

Luna's UFO will malfunction for a short moment, and then break, causing her to fall into an abyss, with the room being removed completely, making the bed float and revealing the whole entire background, and Luna emerges, in her final phase design.

### **Final Phase Powers**

**Laser Eyes** - Luna would shoot lasers out of her eyes in your direction.

**Invasion Buddies** - Luna would whistle, calling out mini aliens (one sprite running, and another jumping).

**Nocturnal Spew** - Luna would spit out a giant star that flies in your direction and then disappears.

### **K.O.s**

In the regular knockout, Luna Lunatic's face winces and her mouth clenches and trembles. In the simple knockout, Luna would hide underneath her blanket dress.

## Ending Appearances/Cameos

**Good Ending** - Luna Lunatic is seen happily clapping and overjoyed at Cuphead and Mugman's success.

## Trivia

* The starting of Luna's ninja star attack was similar to Sakura the Cardcaptor's way of holding a card in her intro in the 1996 anime TV series, "*Cardcaptor Sakura*".
* Luna Lunatic was originally going to have only two phases, with her second (final) phase being a vampire, but that was changed because the creator of this OC wanted to add more and something spookier.
	+ It was made to be more spookier, because her final phase appearance/design was inspired by Alastor from Hazbin Hotel.
* "Luna" translates to "moon" in Romanian and Spanish, while the word "lunatic" means someone chaotic or insane. Making her a "Moon Lunatic"
* The invasion buddies (mini aliens) were inspired by the purple demons in The Devil's boss fight.
	+ The jumping sprite for the purple demons were unused, so I decided to use that unused part for the mini aliens.
* Luna had an old name in her prototype, which I think was Nala Nightime or something like that.
* Her death quotes isn't actually a scenario about trying to get somebody to sleep with bedtime stories, it's actually about somebody trying to kill someone (the "awake" resembles "being alive", the bedtime stories resemble the actions of the opponent using them to try to end the other, and the "GO TO SLEEP FOR ONCE" in her final quote is supposed to resemble "go and die").
