diff.text: '''Usagi Tsukino'''(aka Sailor Moon) is one of the original five [[sailor soldiers]] and is the main character of [[Naoko Takeuchi]]'s [[Sailor Moon]] series. She is the princess of the moon, and a bit of a ditz. She has a black cat named [[Luna]] who is her [[guardian cat]] from the [[moon]].
diff.text: Her name translates directly from Japanese as "moon field rabbit." This is a pun, because the character used for "field" is pronounced "no," which also means "of" in Japanese. So her name is a pun on "rabbit of the moon," a reference to a Japanese Buddhist legend about a rabbit pounding mochi on the moon. [http://www.laputanlogic.com/articles/2004/04/05-0001.html] (Like the Western "Man in the Moon")  There are many references to rabbits throughout the series.
diff.text: ==In the Manga==
diff.text: Usagi was the first soldier introduced to us in  [[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon]]. She saved Luna, and fell asleep at her house after crying. Soon after waking, Luna explained to Usagi that she was the Soldier of the Moon, and she gave Usagi her transformation brooch. Her first time saving someone was when she saved her friend, [[Naru Osaka|Naru]], from her possessed mother.
diff.text: ==In the Anime==
diff.text: Usagi is the leader of the Sailor Soldiers. Anime Usagi is a lot less mature than her manga counterpart. She is often found competing with [[Rei Hino]] and has silly arguments with her. She grows into her role as Sailor Moon, but slowly and less fully than does the Usagi of the manga.
diff.text: ==Forms and powers==
diff.text: ===Sailor Moon===
diff.text: In this form, Sailor Moon can perform attacks such as Moon Tiara Action. Her Sailor Suit has a blue collar, a blue skirt, red front and back bows, red boots with a white point with a crescent-shaped jewel on it. Her choker is red with the crescent jewel on it. Her brooch is also very special. It is gold, with a pink jewel and a crescent underneath it. Around the edges are four jewels, red, blue, a deeper gold, and green, symbolizing the four [[Soldiers of the Four Guardian Deities|Guardian]] soldiers. In the Manga, she starts out wearing a white mask similar to that of Sailor V. In addition, she ears two jewels on her buns with a white outline and a red center. Her tiara has a red jewel.

The belt buckle is a copy of her brooch, which is a pink heart with a gold rim, two gold rings, and a gold crescent in the center. Her earrings are two gold crescents. Her choker is now yellow with a pink heart jewel on it. Her skirt is white, with a blue stripe and a yellow stripe. In the manga, her collar is blue and green.
diff.text: ===Eternal Sailor Moon===

Her choker is red, and has a gold heart jewel with a crescent underneath. Her front bow has been replaced with two angel wings, and the brooch is the same as the choker jewel, only larger. Her belt is made of three ribbons: red, yellow, and blue, held together by a crescent buckle. Her skirt has three tiers, yellow, red, and blue. The bands at the top of her gloves have an ornament on them similar to the barettes in her hair, they are on like a blade would be. Also, her gloves have two bracelets at the wrists. Her earrings are a crescent with another dangling beneath it. Her tiara is gone and is replaced by a crescent, like Sailor V's. Her boots are now white with a downwards red point with a crescent jewel. Her back bow is still massive and red, but now has two long, thin dangling ribbons. Finally, she now has two massive angel wings, fully active.
diff.text: ===Princess Serenity, the Moon Princess===
diff.text: Sailor Moon can transform into her past self, Princess Serenity of the Moon. Her powers here include healing people. Both are connected to the [[Phantom Silver Crystal]] (maboroshii no ginzuishou). The crystal is a symbol of her soul, which she uses to save people. 
diff.text: Princess Serenity's gown (based on a wedding dress that [[Naoko Takeuchi]] once saw) has two round sleeves with spiral patterns on them. It is strapless, and has a gold '0' shaped pattern on the bodice. After that, a ruffle of white, and a section of gold beads complete the top. The dress is of an 'empire' cut - then there is a billowing white skirt. At the back, the beads have a white bow not unlike the back bow on Super Sailor Moon's outfit. This time, however, the bow is in the middle of her back, not in the small of her back. Princess Serenity also has barettes not unlike the ones Super and Eternal Sailor Moon wears, only they are pearls, with no red, and have no feathers. She has a crescent on her forehead head like Sailor V and Eternal Sailor Moon.
diff.text: ===Neo Queen Serenity===
diff.text: As Neo Queen Serenity, Usagi rules over Crystal Tokyo in the future. Her outfit is almost the same as when she was Princess Serenity, only the sleeves have gone, there are now two rows of beads, the dress is a bit more slinky, and the bows are even more massive, the actual bow tied part is so massive it seems to form wings. Now, Neo Queen Serenity has a tiara on her head, it is golden, has some pink jewels on it, and in the center, a variation on her brooch from when she was Super Sailor Moon, only at the top, it has a crown-shaped jewel, and a ruby in the center of the heart, replacing the crescent.
diff.text: ==Parallel Sailor Moon==
diff.text: In [[Parallel Sailor Moon]], the parody story created for the [[Materials Collection]], Usagi is the mother to two children, [[Kousagi Tsukino]] and [[Usagi Small Lady Serenity Tsukino|ChibiUsa Tsukino]]. She is much the same as she was in the rest of the manga, ditzy and forgetful and a crybaby but with a big heart.
