Added DiffLines:

** The transformation happens in a split second; Luna responds with a flat "Ow."
** Luna is a MagicalGirl with a typical sparkly light show of a TransformationSequence; however, she lets out agonising screams the entire time. When the sequence is over, she appears and acts completely unharmed and brushes off any concerns for her wellbeing.

** Whether or not Luna's transformation is painful seems to differ. Sometimes it's excruciating, sometimes it only feels mildly uncomfortable, sometimes it happens instantaneously with no pain, and sometimes it even feels good. There can be reasons for this (e.g. whether or [[InvoluntaryShapeshifting not]] it was [[VoluntaryShapeshifting voluntary]], how many times she's already transformed, etc) or it can just be completely random.



* '''Defied''': Luna takes a large dose of painkillers every full moon before the transformation.

** Someone curses Luna and makes her into a werewolf, but intentionally makes sure that the transformation is painless because EvenEvilHasStandards.



** During Luna's transformation, she is heard making some sounds that could be interpreted as signs of pain or discomfort, but it's left ambiguous whether she's actually in pain or if she's just distressed in some way.

** Luna transforms offscreen, but sounds of screaming can be heard from where she is.



* '''Played For Drama''': Luna's particular lycanthropy means each transformation is essentially a battle of her HeroicWillpower against the more base and savage tendencies of her wolf form; if her willpower were ever to be completely overwhelmed, she would [[ModeLock remain in her savage wolf form forever]]. The pain of her body shifting forms is one of the big things that saps her mental strength as she tries to maintain control of herself each night...and full moons are when the wolf howls strongest...

** Luna is starting to transform against her will, but her attempts to ResistTheBeast are only making the pain ''worse'', and by the time it's over she's aware she'll lose control.
** Luna is in a situation where transforming would be useful, but she's incredibly reluctant to do so out of fear of being in extreme agony.

* '''Justified''': Her muscles, bones, and organs shifting around have got to affect her nerves somewhat.

** This does actually have an element of TruthInTelevision to it. While obviously full-on shapeshifting is impossible in real life, many people do experience "growing pains" throughout the process of growing up, and exercises that build muscle mass actually do involve your muscle tissue repeatedly tearing and reforming.
** Luna isn't used to being in this form, so it's understandable that it'd cause her pain (this especially makes sense if it's Luna's first time transforming into a werewolf, or if she's [[EldritchTransformation transforming into something else entirely]]...)

* '''Parodied''': By the time she reaches wolf form, she limps away with her tail between her legs, whimpering like a sad puppy, as her transformation has left her incapable of being any danger to anyone. Her friends decide to take her to a vet.

** Luna's transformation is very clearly extremely painful, to the point in which [[NauseaFuel someone can see and hear her bones literally breaking and rearranging, some even rupturing the skin]]. She doesn't react with anything besides a [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction mildly inconvenienced "Ouch, that doesn't feel so good."]]
