Sailor Moon - Characters

Characters

The series features an extensive cast of characters. Initially, the main protagonists are title character Sailor Moon, her love interest Tuxedo Mask, and the Guardian Senshi (Sailors Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus). They are later joined by Chibiusa, Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask's daughter from the future, and the four Outer Senshi (Sailors Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Saturn).

Each major arc of the manga and its anime adaptation features a different group of villains: the Dark Kingdom (in the Dark Kingdom arc of the manga and in the first season of the anime), the Black Moon Clan (in the Black Moon arc of the manga and in Sailor Moon R), the Death Busters (in the Mugen/Infinity arc of the manga and in Sailor Moon S), the Dead Moon Circus (in the Yume/Dream arc of the manga and in Sailor Moon SuperS), and Shadow Galactica (in the Stars arc of the manga and in Sailor Moon Sailor Stars). The first few episodes of Sailor Moon R feature a filler arc that introduces the Makaiju, two aliens that arrive to Earth to find life energy to collect for an alien tree, and the first six episodes of Sailor Moon: Sailor Stars reintroduce Queen Nehellenia from the Dead Moon Circus.

Supporting and recurring characters in the series include Luna, Artemis, and Diana (three cats that act as advisers to the Sailor Senshi), the families and friends of the Senshi, the Sailor Starlights and Princess Kakyuu, and the mysterious Chibichibi, among others.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    Trial. A formal inquiry designed to prove and put upon record the blameless characters of judges, advocates and jurors.
    Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)

    Children pay little attention to their parent’s teachings, but reproduce their characters faithfully.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Philosophy is written in this grand book—I mean the universe—
    which stands continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it.
    Galileo Galilei (1564–1642)
