Contents
Manga
In the manga Luna and Artemis are originally from the Planet Mau and in times of crisis can take on human form (as can Diana) briefly.
Anime
In the anime Luna only takes human form once, in the S Movie, and Mau is never mentioned.
In the dub
Luna's dub voice, whilst highly reconised due to Jill Frappier's take on her, is a focus point of some of the dub's controversy due to the fact that the voice makes her out of be an "Old maid" 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[1]). 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 stroyline "Princess Kaguya's Lover") in which her human form is revealed.
Live Action
In the Live Action series, Luna is a talking and moving plush cat (not a real one) can become a human girl and transform into Sailor Luna to train and help the Sailor Soliders as a side-effect of being bathed in the light of the silver crystal. She turns back if she sneezes. Her powers have the elemental power of "candy" and she wields a large folding fan at times. Fans view her as the replacement of ChibiUsa for the sake of keeping Pritty Guardian a largely one series story.
