The nickname is a combination of ''[[chibi]]'' (meaning runt, dwarf, shrimp) and her [[given name]], Usagi. In her own time period, she is always called Small Lady. In the English-language adaptations, where Usagi had been changed to Serena, the diminutive "Rini" was used for Chibiusa's name.

Her real name is the same as her mother's, but is called ''Chibiusa'' in Japanese (and ''Rini'' in English) to avoid confusion between the two. Her name in the [[English language|English-language]] [[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (in English versions)|version of Sailor Moon]], ''Rini'', is a diminutive of "Serena", the name of her mother. She is known for having [[pink]] hair put into a unique style that resembles rabbit ears on top of her head. Chibiusa's hair is apparently truly [[pink]], and not just colored that way for stylistic purposes; its color is stated in the poem on her ''Sailor Stars'' [[CD single]].<ref>Araki, Kae.

diff.text: In Act 20 of the manga, it's mentioned that she is 900 years old, her youthful appearance attributed to the fact that she suddenly stopped growing when she was five. The reason for this is never fully understood, but she begins to age after she becomes Sailor Chibi Moon. By the time of the [[Sailor Moon Supers|Dream story arc]], she claims to be 902.<ref name = "hammer">{{cite book |last= Takeuchi |first= Naoko | title= Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Volume 17 |chapter= Chibiusa Picture Diary Hammer Price Shrine |publisher= [[Kodansha]] |date= 1996-12-06 |id= ISBN 4-06-178849-3}}</ref> Her exact age was not disclosed in the anime, and her [[time travel]]lingtravelling complicates guessing. It can be estimated at approximately five years old when she is introduced (the candles on her [[birthday cake]] in one memory indicate so in [[List of Sailor Moon episodes|Episode 85]]), and perhaps eleven or twelve when she returns later on. Although her physical age seems to have become frozen at childhood, it is revealed in the ''[[Sailor Moon Supers|Dream]]'' arc of the manga that, eventually, she will grow to an adult body. Exposure to the [[Silver Crystal]] renders all of Crystal Tokyo's inhabitants functionally immortal.
diff.text: Chibiusa is usually very upbeat, extroverted and outgoing. Though she started out socially awkward, she quickly became popular with her classmates in the 20th-century. In the manga, she once became president of her class.<ref>{{cite book |last= Takeuchi |first= Naoko | title= Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Volume 12 |chapter= Act 34 |publisher= [[Kodansha]] |date= 1995-09-06 |id= ISBN 4-06-178814-0 }}</ref> Her initial shyness could be attributed to the fact that she was teased in the 30th-century for not having any Senshi powers, and for her lack of aging. As the manga progresses, she gradually matures, becoming more comfortable with herself and more confident with her Senshi abilities. Because her dream in the manga is to become a beautiful lady, her actions often are based around this. She tries to be a [[perfectionist]] and starts off trying to do everything alone and for herself. This view evolves as she realizes what maturity really is and what it really means to be an adult.

diff.text: Chibiusa's Senshi identity. Her title is changed to "Sailor Mini Moon" in the English anime, but left intact in the manga. Her [[sailor fuku|uniform]]s resemble Sailor Moon's, colored primarily in [[Pink#Cherry Blossom Pink|cherry blossom pink]] and [[red]], with a prominent motif of small hearts, joined later by crescent moons and stars. Due to her small stature, certain details of her uniforms are slightly abbreviated. She is given various titles throughout the series, including Princess Soldier,<ref name="act35" /> Apprentice Soldier, and Soldier in Training.{{Fact|date=February 2007}} As the daughter of Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask, she exhibits traits of both parents in battle. Her personality is no different from when she is a civilian, although certain powers are unavailable to her in that form.
diff.text: Her powers in the [[Sailor Moon Musicals|musicals]] are based on both her anime and manga incarnations. In ''Last Dracul'' she heads to the enemy hideout alone only to have her attacks fail; In the revised version of ''Transylvania no Mori'' she laments that a phrase from a game similar to Red light Green light is more useful than her most powerful attack when dealing with the [[Amazoness Quartet|Sammael Quartet]]. Conversely, in the same musicals she is able to combine her powers with [[SailorUsagi Moon (character)Tsukino|Sailor Moon]] for multiple powerful attacks that damage/heal enemies. It is only in the [[Sailor Moon Supers|fourth season]] of the anime that she gains a more relevant role as Pegasus gives her a new compact to become Super Sailor Chibi Moon for the first time, and she becomes the only one able to summon him to give assistance to Sailor Moon in performing the attacks that defeat the enemies' minions.
diff.text: Often shortened by her parents and family friends to '''Small Lady''', this is the name that Chibiusa is known by in the future. It is unchanged in the part of the English anime dubbed by [[DiC]], but changed to '''Little Lady''' in the episodes dubbed by [[Cloverway]].
diff.text: In the manga, this form appears more frequently and receives more explanation. It is the name given to her by her parents so she often uses this to identify herself in the future. The only other character to use it, besides the [[royal family]] and its friends and allies, is [[Cats (Sailor Moon)#Diana|Diana]], who periodically calls her by Small Lady and uses [[Japanese honorifics|honorific endings]] to indicate that Chibiusa is a princess. Her princess form also appears in Artbooks IV and the Materials Collection, in which she is drawn among the other Senshi in their specific gowns. She wears a [[:Image:SenshiPrincesses.jpg|light pink gown]] unique from all the others.
diff.text: Infected with the power of the Black Crystal, she grows older, donning an [[organdy]] and [[satin]] dress and the earrings worn by the [[Black Moon Clan]].<ref name="materials"/> Her hair becomes even longer than Usagi's. Her crescent becomes that of the Clan, and she is frequently seen with [[Black Moon Clan#Prince Demand|Prince Demand]] or Wiseman. As Chibiusa's dream is to become a beautiful lady like her mother, Black Lady's form is something like a [[femme fatale]].
diff.text: Black Lady uses her brainwashing powers to try to [[seduce]] her future father, [[Tuxedo Mask|Mamoru Chiba]], and tries to destroy the Senshi for their various acts of insensitivity toward her. She first appears in Act 20 of the manga and [[Sailor Moon episode 085|Episode 85]] of the anime. In the anime, Black Lady tries to kill Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask, but is saved from her anger by Sailor Moon, who changes into Neo-Queen Serenity and embraces her daughter, allowing her to turn back into Chibiusa. In the manga, her sorrow over the death of [[Sailor Pluto]] shatters Wiseman's power over her, her tears activating the future Silver Crystal, and she changes into Sailor Chibi Moon for the first time.
diff.text: From Chibiusa's first appearance, it is clear that she is not just a normal girl: she falls out of the sky, pulls a gun on Usagi apparently from nowhere, and hypnotizes the Tsukino family into adopting her. All of these "powers" are assisted by objects and by other people. Her primary tool is the cat-faced rubber ball called Luna-P (alternately called "Lunaball" or "Luna Sphere" in the [[DiC]] anime). Luna-P is a mechanical object (strongly resembling [[Cats (Sailor Moon)|Luna]], much to the real cat's alarm) which Chibiusa regards as her closest friend and which acts as her guardian. It can be used as a communication device, particularly with Sailor Pluto, and can be transformed into other objects Chibiusa may need by use of a special phrase&mdash;"Abracadabra Pon" in the manga and "Luna-P Transform" or "Luna-P Magic" in the anime.<ref>First used in manga Act 16 and anime Episode 60. In the dubbed anime, the special phrase is "Kitty Magic!" as seen in the same episode, numbered 54.</ref> Because of her status as a princess, the crescent-moon mark of the [[Silver Millennium]] appears on Chibiusa's forehead when she is in danger. She is the heir to the [[Silver Crystal]] of the 30th century.
diff.text: Chibiusa travels through time at various points in the series<ref>She arrives at the beginning of the second story arc and unsuccessfully attempts to go home in the middle. She does go home at the end, only to return for the third story arc. She departs again at the end of the fourth arc, but in the anime returns once more near the end of the fifth.</ref> using the Key of Space-Time given to her by Sailor Pluto (in the manga, she stole it). She time-travels by holding up the key and shouting, "Time Guardian! Tear apart the sky, and open the space-time door to me! I call the true name of the almighty god of time, the time guardian's father! [[Chronos]]! Reveal to me the path of light!"
diff.text: Chibiusa is not shown using ''unassisted'' powers until she [[henshin|transform]]stransforms into a Sailor Senshi by activating a special device and shouting a certain phrase. Originally this is "Moon Prism Power, Make-up!",<ref>In the anime, uses the Prism Moon Compact. First used in manga Act 25 and anime Episode 103. In the English versions, Chibiusa does not say 'Make up' when transforming, although it is sometimes replaced with "Transform!".

She does not initially have a full anime transformation sequence; instead, her compact flashes as she shouts her phrase, and she is simply revealed in her uniform, posing as the other Senshi do after their transformations are shown. When she does gain her own sequence, it is simpler and more childlike than the others', and uses a heart motif.
diff.text: At the end of the manga's third arc, she assists Super Sailor Moon by briefly upgrading to Super form herself using the [[Talisman (Sailor Moon)#Holy Grail|Holy Grail]] of the future.<ref>Uses "''Crisis, Make-up!''" and appears only in Act 33.</ref> Neither is able to maintain this form under her own strength until the fourth story arc, when they are empowered by [[List of minor Sailor Moon characters#Helios/Pegasus|Pegasus]] to take on Super forms whenever they need to via "Moon Crisis, Make-up!"<ref>Uses the Pink Moon Compact. First used in manga Act 34 and anime Episode 130. In the English version it is called ''Moon Cosmic Dream Action'', or in Supers movie ''Super Moon Crisis Power''.</ref> In the anime, this is the first time Chibiusa takes on her Super form, and throughout the fourth series she and Sailor Moon share a single transformation sequence involving shiny red and pink [[ribbon]]sribbons that flow around them, forming their [[leotard]]sleotards, boots, and [[glove]]sgloves. When Chibiusa shifts back into civilian form, these ribbons billow out around her body, either forming her street clothes or, if the de-transformation is forced, disappearing entirely.<ref>As seen in ''[[Sailor Moon Supers: The Movie]]''.</ref>
