**Luna Melody Star** is a supporting character in the *Candle Man franchise*. She is a pet ant who belongs to Mystic.

## Character development

Luna was developed into a character shortly after her owner, Mystic, alongside the main language that is not English she speaks in, known as Meepense were developed for the series. Chosen over a scrapped squirrel as Mystic's pet, Luna, under her original name where she was once known as Nightshade, was chosen so she can see some use with her small size, so she can do puzzles other characters can not do on their own.

She was also chosen due to her cuter appearance and how Meepense could be easier to voice act while Squrriense was composed of many sounds while Meepense was just different pitch variants of the same word. Furthermore, with her being an ant, it was meant that Mystic can just carry her in her pocket, compared to the scrapped squirrel, who would have been on Mystic's shoulder, which she did not have at the time.

## Physical appearance

In *Candle Man's War Story*, Luna is a dark purple ant with a pink stripe in the middle of her stomach, she has 6 legs and a pair of pink antennae.

As of *Candle Man & Friends*, Luna has a more chibi design compared to her predecessor, her head and stomach is more round, her legs are underneath her stomach rather than in between, her antenna have only one semi-curl and she has a pink bow.

## Personality

Luna is shown to be a little odd and somewhat obnoxious to other characters, she also tends to talk a lot, as shown in *Candle Man's War Story*. Despite her oddness, Luna can also be surprisingly profound where she was the only character to give a proper answer to what the meaning of life is.

Despite others viewing her as strange and weird, Luna does not care as she desires to live her life to the fullest and not worry about how people perceive her. She tells Mystic that the search for the meaning of life gives life meaning and that it is simply important to enjoy life by doing what makes a person feel happy.

She is also known for demonstrating a more creative and insightful side to her personality. She is also very friendly and appreciative, giving gifts to her friends as a sign of friendship, kindness, and so they can also see things from her point of view. She can also be a bit of a show-off, it is shown that because of Luna's narcissism she does not understand true friendship. She tries to insert herself into Mystic's life, and tries to eliminate her friends from her life, so she can be her only friend.

Luna also has a goofy, fun-loving personality.
She was Mystic's best friend to the point of being clingy towards her, and hates being left behind. Luna is somewhat trusting but also has trust problems, as she is willing to go along with  Mystic's adventures. As Luna is very fearful of being betrayed, she can immediately relapse into insanity if left behind.
