Usagi Tsukino

Princess Usagi "Small Lady" Tsukino is a character from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon and the central protagonist of The Knights of the Multiverse. The daughter of Neo Queen Serenity & King Endymion, the future queen of Crystal Tokyo and a founding member of the Crystal Knights, she uses the power of the legendary Silver Crystal to become Neo Sailor Moon and aid her new friends in the ever ongoing battle against the forces of evil. However, Usagi's main purpose on the team slowly but surely evolved into finding other misfits and "failures" like she once was, give them a home among the team and help them find a new purpose in life. It just so happened that the best way for them to do that was to duke it out against the forces of evil (who'd have known?).

Personality
Like any girl her age (well, physical age, obviously), Usagi is typically cheery and outgoing. Though originally coming off as very distant and quiet due to all the bullying in her past and an inferiority complex of how she'd never be as great a ruler as her mother is, thanks to her estrange meeting with the rest of the Knights, she grew out of her shell and started to become a lot more outgoing. She's loud, outspoken, and can be a little bratty sometimes (but what young, spoiled princess isn't?), but she still shows her gratitude towards the rest of her newfound family when they come through her. She's incredibly brave and won't hesitate to face any threat to the lives of his friends, be it facing an entire army of robot drones with only one or two of her friends by her side or protecting Atros from one of her comrades' attacks, all in the hopes to someday becoming a great hero as the rest of them and her mother in her youth. She has also studied and trained intensely under the mentorship of the team's veterans and does not take her new duties as a Guardian lightly.

But, even after all the battles and other trials & tribulations the group has faced, no matter how many times she's nearly bit the dust, she never loses her hopeful outlook, always trying to get the team to look on the bright side of things. Because while the Silver Crystal's power gives her incredibly powers, her true strength lies in her big heart that accepts anyone and everyone (depending on the person, of course), bringing out the best in all her friends and making them all feel loved and happy. She may be a princess, but she never lets that cloud her judgment (outside of the occasional joke, of course). She doesn't care who or what someone is - whether they be a human, an android, or were even genetically engineered - what matters to her most is what kind of person they are, and if she even sees the tiniest hint of goodness, she will accept them with open arms, like her friends did with her before, and will fight tooth and nail to help them with whatever problems they're facing. In fact, her optimistic output is often a source of encouragement for the team, often being what helps them need to strive forward; traits that'll no doubt be instrumental for when she becomes queen.

Pre-Series
Usagi was born as "Usagi Small Lady Serenity", the only child of King Endymion & Neo-Queen Serenity, and the Princess of the Silver Millennium. However, she had stagnated in growth, being physically and mentally a child for over 900 years, something that is unusual for even the long-lived people of the Moon Kingdom. She also never showed any sign of developing powers, which worried her parents greatly, fearing that she might not be able to carry the mantle of Sailor Moon.

Her lack of growth and magical abilities had led the people to believe that she was a fake princess who wasn't the king and queen's true daughter. Her father tried to make her feel better by telling her how much in common she has with her mother and by telling her how invincible Sailor Moon was. Unfortunately, this only made her feel as though she didn't matter to her mother and would never be able to compare it to her.

One day, Usagi wandered down a forbidden corridor and came across a strange door. After going through it, she met the Guardian of Time, Sailor Pluto. Although Neo-Queen Serenity would chide Usagi for visiting her, she would continue to visit the lonely Guardian, and the two quickly became good friends.

Not able to take anymore, she tried to break into her mother's chambers and steal her Legendary Silver Crystal. Unfortunately, just before she could enact this plan, the Black Moon Clan attacked.

Mini-Series
As she ran from the destruction, she fell through a red portal and found herself lost in a forest. With only Luna P to accompany her, she ran off aimlessly until she came across a group of Black Moon Clan Droids. Terrified once she saw their Black Moon symbols on their heads, she tried to flee, only to have cornered her against a cliffside, until she was saved by a teenage girl, who introduced herself as Starlight. While she was intimidated by 's brutal fighting skills, she also realized that there most likely wasn't anyone else around to protect her in case of any more drones, she decided to tag along with her to explore their surroundings. The two soon ran into a small group of Dark Army Drones, which were about to squash the two of them.

Season 1
While she was really happy with her new friends, she would sometimes have nightmares of turning into Black Lady again and destroying her new family. Not wanting to worry them, she would keep this to herself.

Abilities & Equipment
In her human form, Usagi doesn't have any special abilities. Most of her powers come from her Sailor Guardian form.

Sailor Guardian Form Powers

 * Enhanced Strength

Though this doesn't make her as strong as other members like most of her android companions, Usagi is still incredibly strong. Two great examples of this are how she was able to catch & toss aside a large mech's foot when he tries to step on her and even being able to do a good amount of damage from her kicks and punches to both mechs and androids.


 * Enhanced Jumping

Usagi is able to jump great heights, amounting to about 12 meters into the air.


 * Flight
 * Red Hair Pieces

Usagi has a pair of red hair pieces attached to her hair buns. They create supersonic waves whenever she panics and starts crying, causing the pieces to amplify her wailing until it becomes physically painful for enemies. This attack is often used as a last resort when Usagi has no other way to protect herself. They can also be used to hear things from a great distance.


 * Moon Tiara Boomerang

Usagi is able to remove her tiara from her forehead and launch it at an opponent like a boomerang.


 * Moon Tiara Blade
 * Usagi can expand her tiara into an even larger blade and use it like a sword.
 * Mirage Tiara
 * Usagi is able to create several energy-based copies of her tiara.

Silver Crystal
After reassembling the seven Rainbow Crystals, Usagi was given the power of the Legendary Silver Crystal, which gives her access to many mystical abilities:


 * Fend off any dark energy
 * Healing
 * Insanely powerful energy beams and blasts
 * Protective Shields & Barriers (this one is especially helpful against really powerful attacks)

Moon Rod
Given to her by her mother to aid in her efforts of fighting the forces of evil, the Moon Rod is Usagi's main weapon, with her being able to channel her energy into various types of magical attacks. It can also be used to block bladed weapons. This gives her access to several final attacks:


 * Moon Princess Halation:
 * Her mother's signature move, it generates several powerful moonlight-based blasts which are projected to different directions.


 * Pink Sugar Heart Attack
 * Usagi's first original spell for the wand, it is an unusually strong heart-based attack. While it only caused slight damage to a single wall, after lots of practice, it fires a surprisingly strong heart-shaped beam attack, with it firing hundreds of energy pellets shaped like hearts.

Special Moves

 * Moon Tiara Cross

Usagi combines a pair of Mirage Tiaras into a cross-like shuriken.


 * Mirage Moon Attack

Inspired by Zambot 3's Zambot Moon Attack, Usagi launches nearly a dozen Mirage Tiaras at her opponent. The Tiaras then encircle a specific area of the target before they all converge on said point and blast right through.

Combo Attacks

 * Moon Tiara/Dagger Action

Combo attack w Rosy: A relatively simple combo attack, Usagi and Rosy combine their Moon Tiara Boomerang and Dagger into one super-charged boomerang.


 * Moon Tiara Sword

Combo attack w/ Emily: Two of Usagi's Mirage Tiaras combine with the blade on Emily's sword, forming a large golden blade with a red gemstone in the center that completely cover the blade underneath, extending it a good bit and making it both impervious to laser fire and allowing it to deal an even more serious amount of damage.


 * Combination Crash1

Combo attack w/ Ayako: Usagi and Ayako fly high into the air and perform a double dive-kick that pierces right through their target, causing it to explode behind them (like you do).

Cham & Lilith
As Cham & Lilith were her first real friends, Usagi cares for her fairy companions a great deal.

Kamille Bidan
Kamille is one of Usagi's closest friends on the team, with Usagi viewing him as an older brother. He was the first person she opened up to about her past, and after that trust, she'll often turn to him when she's scared and confused about something. His dedication to protecting her during their first battles against the Heralds of Unicron was one of Usagi's biggest inspirations to become a hero, and made a promise to protect him from harm, just as had for her.

Nyoka, Emily & Ayako
While Usagi loves all of her newfound friends/family equally, Nyoka, Emily and Ayako are the closest to her on the whole team (so much so that if not for their means of birth, the three could be mistaken for sisters), with the four of them often getting into their own side missions while the other Knights are doing more "serious" tasks. Emily and Nyoka were the first friends around her age (well, physically at least, but she could relate to them on that front, too) to treat her with any kindness, and in a way, Usagi gave some of that kindness back to Ayako when she reached out to her, and they often act as her emotional support for when she's trying to test out a new spell or when she just needs someone to talk to. And Usagi has returned their support in kind, with her courage in later battles inspiring both Nyoka & Ayako to step out of their comforts zones and helping on the battlefield as well (and in big ways, too).

Atros
Usagi and Atros's relationship is one of the most interesting in the series. Being built specifically to fight her, the Pretty Guardian trainee and the young battle-type android were fierce rivals for a majority of the first season, with Atros constantly egging her on to fight her one on one in the middle of missions, or even just pulling childish pranks when the two happened to run into each other on the side of the street. But as the group continued to recruit/give shelter to more and more of the Renegades' androids, she started to have second thoughts about her rival.

Lorelai Heinrich
With her ability to don a suit of armor similarly to her transformation into a Guardian, Usagi found a kindred spirit in Lorelai, and the two have been good friends since they first met. While she does feel some guilt about how her finding her and her father in their little cabin might've led to the Renegades finding them, she knows Lorelai doesn't blame her for it, and she does take solace in knowing that she's at least helping her use her powers for the greater good.

Rosy
Usagi felt a click when she found Rosy in that junkyard. When she saw how distraught the little Droid was about how her father had abandoned her, she connected it to how she felt before she joined the team, so she felt it was her responsibility to help her get out of it. From there, she went on to help train her and improve her skills with her dagger and how she could help out on the battlefield, as well as share stories about Crystal Tokyo & some of the stories about her mother that her father had shared with her. The two only grew closer as time goes on, with Usagi becoming a big sister to her, a role the young princess is happy to accept.

Dr. Bernard
Even though the two never met, just from Rosy's recollection of her memories with him, Usagi has a very negative view of Rosy's "father".

Sunset Shimmer
Usagi views her as a protective older sister, with her being the first person she'll go to whenever she's feeling scared or depressed over a personal issue.

Catra
Though not to as much of an extent as Kamille, Usagi views Catra as a cool older sibling. She also greatly admires her courage in the middle of even their toughest fights and can only hope that she can be as fearless as him someday. While she will sometimes go along with Catra's antics, she will be quick to chastise her when she messes up big time and puts one of their friends in danger.

Cosmo
Like the others, Usagi was quick to side with Cosmo when she first arrived, her especially when she saw how scared to death she was and didn't want to go back to that awful place, reminding her all too well with the team's battle with the Black Moon and Unicron's other Heralds.

Earth-chan
Like the others, Usagi showed Earth-chan heavy resistance when she first joined the team, taking much issue with her stubbornness and rejection of any emotion. Usagi especially had her issues with her when she started goading on Atros & her group, especially considering how hard she fought to help them break away from their shackles. But like the others, she would lighten up on her & even befriend her later on when she learned the value of emotional connections with others.

L.O.S.R.
Like the rest of her compatriots, Usagi despises the organization. However, she's a lot lighter on the organization's creations, particularly the ones that resemble children.
