diff.text: The metaseries introduces Usagi Tsukino as a [[wikipedia:schoolgirl|schoolgirl]] living in 20th-century [[wikipedia:Tokyo|Tokyo]]. She is initially depicted as a well-intentioned but underachieving crybaby who prefers the life of a normal teenage Earth girl. Nevertheless, she continues to fight the evils of her [[wikipedia:Reincarnation|past life]] and protects the Earth with the [[Imperium Silver Crystal]], as the Champion of Justice, Sailor Moon, which provides for most of the conflict within both the manga and the anime. 
diff.text: The series shows how Usagi loves sweet foods and how easily they distract her. She loves [[wikipedia:cake|cake]] so much that it is listed as her hobby in the manga, and her favorite subject is listed as [[wikipedia:Family and consumer science|Home Economics]]. She is also said to dislike [[wikipedia:carrot|carrots]] (although she eats them in the anime), and is terrible at both English and [[wikipedia:mathematics|mathematics]]. In addition to being a genuine friend, Usagi is extremely good at brown nosing when it's needed and, of course, crying to get what she wants. She is [[wikipedia:Dental phobia|afraid of dentists]] and [[wikipedia:ghost|ghosts]], and her greatest dream is to be a [[bride]].<ref name="vol 10" /> Usagi loves [[wikipedia:rabbit]]s<ref>From the back of the Irwin boxes, may be dub-only</ref> as well as the colors [[wikipedia:white|white]] and [[wikipedia:pink]], and is apparently a member of the Manga Drawing Club at school,<ref name="act35">{{cite book |last= Takeuchi |first= Naoko | title= Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Volume 12 |chapter= Act 34 |publisher= [[Kodansha]] |date= September 6, 1995 |isbn= 4-06-178814-0 }}</ref> though her skill level varies widely when shown in the anime.<ref>The other characters are unable to make out her drawing of Luna once in ''Stars'', but her drawings of Serenity and Endymion in ''R'' are clear enough (though childlike).</ref> She stands 150 centimeters (4&nbsp;ft 11 in) tall.<ref name="animeI">{{cite book |title= Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon album I |publisher= [[Kodansha]] |date= April 1993 |isbn= 4-06-177734-3}}, as noted in {{citeweb|url=http://www.rahul.net/arromdee/sm.faq.4|title=Ken Arromdee's Sailor Moon FAQ}}</ref>

diff.text: Usagi in the live-action series differs slightly from her manga and anime counterparts. She appears much more outgoing and extroverted, and seems to make friends very easily, which immediately puts her personality in conflict with her fellow Senshi, all of whom were loners to varying degrees. She rarely uses [[wikipedia:formal grammar|formal grammar]] with those of her age (though she does with adults), and refers to everyone as "[''given name'']-chan," which is very informal and a way of expressing closeness. She even teases Ami when Ami continues calling her "Tsukino-san," a formal way of speaking to classmates, saying that it is as if they are not friends.<ref>Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, Act 5.</ref> Every time a new Senshi appears, Usagi immediately tries to make her a friend, even though almost all of them resist. However, through Usagi's influence, the other Senshi gradually begin to realize that they are stronger together than they are alone. Usagi also has a habit of forcing her interests on the people that she makes friends with. This is prominent in her relationship with Rei, when she tries time and time again to get her to sing.

diff.text: The series frequently refers to Usagi's Senshi identity, "Sailor Moon", as the "Soldier of Love and Justice", and once as the "Soldier of Mystery".<ref>{{cite book |last= Takeuchi |first= Naoko | title= Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Volume 7 |chapter= Act 23 |publisher= [[Kodansha]] |date= July 6, 1994 |isbn= 4-06-178781-0}}</ref> Her [[wikipedia:uniform| sailor fuku (uniform)|]], originally colored blue and red (or dark pink), with a [[wikipedia:crescent moon|crescent moon]] motif, gradually changes to incorporate more pink and yellow and adds a heart motif as well.

Princess Serenity's guardians and closest friends were [[Sailor Mercury]], [[Sailor Mars]], [[Sailor Jupiter]], and [[Sailor Venus]], who were princesses of their own respective planets, but lived on the moon with her at times.
diff.text: Unique to the live-action series, Princess Sailor Moon is a powerful combination of Sailor Moon and Princess Serenity, introduced when Usagi is "possessed" by the spirit of her former self. She originally appears after [[Queen Beryl takes the]] ''[[Shitennou (Sailor Moon)|Shitennou]]'' hostage in exchange for Mamoru. Silently furious, Sailor Moon transforms into Princess Sailor Moon and halts Queen Beryl using her sword.
diff.text: Princess Sailor Moon states to Usagi during inner dialogue that she has no qualms about destroying the Earth if Endymion is ever taken from her, and later on even summons her own special minions to fight her friends, all bearing moon-shaped signs similar to hers. Usagi struggles to suppress her power in fear that she would eventually destroy the world, something that comes to light in an ''[[Ideon]]''-like fashion for the series finale. Her internal conflict is the major conflict for the rest of the series.
