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:

    The naturalistic literature of this country has reached such a state that no family of characters is considered true to life which does not include at least two hypochondriacs, one sadist, and one old man who spills food down the front of his vest.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

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

    The Nature of Familiar Letters, written, as it were, to the Moment, while the Heart is agitated by Hopes and Fears, on Events undecided, must plead an Excuse for the Bulk of a Collection of this Kind. Mere Facts and Characters might be comprised in a much smaller Compass: But, would they be equally interesting?
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
