'''''Luna''''' was [[Moon cats|a talking cat]] and advisor to [[Usagi Tsukino]]. It was she who first detected Usagi's power, but at the time did not realize that she was the [[Moon Princess]]. Luna and her partner [[Artemis]] were advisors to [[Queen Serenity]] in the [[Silver Millennium]], and when the kingdom was ruined Serenity used the power of her [[Silver Crystal]] to send the two cats to [[Earth]]'s future in order to awaken the [[Sailor Senshi]]. | '''''Luna''''' was [[Moon cats|a talking cat]] and advisor to [[Usagi Tsukino]].

− | + | ===English Dub=== | |
+ | Luna's [[Sailor Moon in North America#English Dub|dub]] voice, while highly recognizable due to [[Jill Frappier]]'s take on her, was a focal point of some of the dub's controversy due to the fact that the voice made her out to be an "English nanny"-type character as opposed to her original implied age (in the ''[[Materials Collection]]'', Luna's human form is said to appear a year younger than Usagi<ref>[http://www.kurozuki.com/takeuchi/sailormoon/settei.html Alex Glover's ''Materials Collection'' translation]</ref>). She came across as an aloof mentor/guardian old enough to be Serena's mother, rather than an older-sister character like her Japanese counterpart. Her choice of voice in turn caused a fair bit of problems in the dubbing of the Sailor Moon S movie (which corresponds to the manga storyline "[[Kaguya-hime no Koibito]]"), in which her human form was revealed. | ||

In the [[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon|live-action series]], Luna was a talking and moving plush cat (not a real one). As a side effect of being bathed in the light of the Silver Crystal, she could become [[Luna Tsukino|a human girl]] and transform into [[Sailor Luna]] to train and help the Senshi, but she turned back if she sneezed or was shocked. Her powers employed the use of candy, and she wielded a large folding fan at times. Fans viewed her as the replacement of Chibiusa for the sake of keeping Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon a largely one-series story. As a plush cat, Luna was dark blue instead of black, and her eyes were blue. | In the [[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon|live-action series]], Luna was a talking and moving plush cat (not a real one).
