For
love and justice, I am the pretty, sailor-suited fighter Sailor Moon!
On behalf of the moon, I'll punish you! Sailor
Name: Sailor Moon, Super Sailor Moon, Eternal Sailor Moon
Mythology: The name Serena (from the dub) is a spin-off from Princess Serenity (in the Japanese version). Serenity comes from the Greek myth about Selene, the goddess of the moon. Selene fell in love with the handsome young shepherd Endymion (think of Prince Endymion?), who she lulled into an eternal sleep so that he could never leave her. Selene is often identified with the Olympian goddess of the moon, Artemis. Also, the name Serenity may have also come from the dark spot on the moon called the "Sea of Serenity." Sailor Moon is a typical main character for a Japanese animation. She is a clutzy and whiney character most of the time, but during an emergency she can pull herself together. She also has an amazing amount of potential power; however, for most of the show she only shows enough power to destroy the MOTDs (Monster-of-the-Day). When her friends are threatened she can usually tap this potential power and destroy whatever enemy is threatening her. Usagi is very loyal, and is always friendly and outgoing. Usagi also cares very much for her friends, even if she fights with a few of them constantly (like Sailor Mars). Her best friend since childhood has been Naru (Molly), but basically any of the Inner Sailors are her best friends. She doesn't share the same kind of relationship with the Outer Sailors; she simply respects all of them very much (however, she does have a more affectionate relationship with Sailor Saturn). Her strongest relationships tend to be with the people who push her: both Luna and Rei are always yelling at her when she makes mistakes but Usagi shares a deep friendship with both of them. Usagi's Relationship with Mamoru: Okay guys, I don't want to get too much into this, but Usagi has a strong love for Mamoru, and believe it or not, he returns her love. People on the 'Net think he's really cold and never confesses his feelings for her, while Usagi is extremely loyal and openly confesses her love. But keep in mind what perspective you're looking at it. Mamoru embodies what Japanese males think a guy should be like... basically his whole attitude is a reflection of Japanese culture. He's smart, charming, and handsome, but doesn't show his feelings that often. That's how a male protagonist is seen in Japanese Animation. So keep in mind what perspective you're looking at it with... |
