-->''Love doesn't conquer all, but it sure does help.''

''I Want To Be Your Moon'' is an UsefulNotes/RPGMaker VX Ace-powered game by is a [[ComingOfAgeStory coming-of-age story RPG]] by [[Tropers/{{Dinru}} Dinru]] and [[Tropers/VanguardJade Jade]]. It stars Tara, who is [[GoodMorningCrono taking a leak]] when a mysterious voice appears in her head, telling her to rescue a kidnapped elf in the forest... Luckily for the elf, she listens. She is a beautiful [[GratuitousFrench bilingual]] [[SubvertedTrope Less-Than-]]FieryRedhead elf named Li.

When they get back to town, Tara realizes that Li has no citizenship papers, and as such is in the country illegally. They bump into Tara's best friend and ex-girlfriend, Lulu, on the way, who joins them. They go to Kingston to get papers from the king, who completely understands Li's situation and grants her legal citizenship. But just then, a door to the [[EldritchAbomination Kobold]] Dimension opens in the middle of town. Doors like that appear when there is a major shift in magical power between two dimensions, and require five keys to open (which are not in very convenient locations, mind you). For it seems that there is more to Li than meets the eye...

!!This unfinished and unpublished work contains examples of:
* AuthorAvatar: [[spoiler:In a sidequest, you can meet the God and the Goddess who created Latria. This level is actually full of {{DevelopmentGag}}s. These two also appear in the JokeEnding.]]
* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:Sorta-implied with Tara and Lulu, since the whole game is Lulu retelling the tale of Tara and Lulu's adventure to their grandchildren. In the GoldenEnding, these grandchildren are Tara and Li's.]]
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: ShyBlueHairedGirl Tara, not-FieryRedhead Li, and green-dyed blonde Lulu.
* BetaCouple [[spoiler:Cornelia and Cain were together long before the events of the story, and evolve into this once they [[CastCalculus join the main team]].]]
* BlackMagicianGirl: Tara, as a {{Foil}} to Lulu's WhiteMagicianGirl.
* BookEnds / FramingDevice The story is actually a storybook being told by a grandma to her grandchildren. [[spoiler:The grandma is Lulu, and they're the grandchildren of Tara and Lulu.]]
* ButterflyOfDoom: [[spoiler:The Kobold possessing Li.]]
* CastCalculus: It starts off with RedOniBlueOni Tara and Lulu (Tara's blue, Lulu's red). Then, it becomes a PowerTrio with [[TheSpock Tara]], [[TheKirk Li]], and [[TheMcCoy Lulu]]. [[spoiler:Later on Cornelia and Cain show up, creating a ThreePlusTwo FiveManBand of [[TheHero Tara]], [[TheLancer Li]], [[TheBigGuy Cornelia]], [[TheSmartGuy Cain]], and [[TheHeart Lulu]].]]
* ColorCodedCharacters: Everyone has their own color. Tara is blue, Lulu is green, Li is red, [[spoiler:Cornelia is yellow, and Cain is purple.]] Also, everyone [[spoiler: except eventually Lulu]] has their PowerColor as their hair color.
** ChromaticArrangement: You get [[color:blue:Tara]], [[color:red:Li]], and [[color:green:Lulu]] initially and it's a while before you can get any other party members.
** RainbowMotif: The six primary characters also form the six primary colors of the rainbow.
* DarkMagicalGirl: Though not actually a magical girl, [[spoiler:Cornelia otherwise fits the archetype to a T.]]
* DumbBlonde: Lulu, although Lulu dyes her hair, and she's more [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal ditzy than downright dumb]]. Averted with [[spoiler:Cornelia]], who is probably the most intelligent character in the game.
* [[spoiler:DownerEnding]]: [[spoiler: Li dies. Lulu slips back into her neuroses, and eventually Tara takes pity on her and marries her. Cornelia disappears from Cain's life, and Cain doesn't learn about ''why'' until it's all but too late. Cain is never heard from again. The old lady reading the story to her Grandchildren at the beginning? That's Lulu, and the scene comes back for the ending. Tara comes home and all of them and the grandchildren go out for ice cream. Li's ghost floats by sadly.]]
* EmotionlessGirl: Tara. Like [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya Yuki]], she's actually more of an incredibly repressed girl; unlike most repressed girls, however, it's obvious from the very beginning. The [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience blue rose]] is even the Rose of Repression in her honor.
* ElementalPowers: Major Mages, such as Tara, have these, especially when they're on a [[AlternateUniverse plane]] that's closer to the SourceOfMagic.
* EveryoneIsBi: Everyone except [[spoiler:Cain, who likes girls only.]] Although most have a preference towards one gender (Like Lulu, who is a walking LesYay machine)
* FieryRedhead: Subverted with Li. She has red hair, but she's more TheMcCoy or TheLancer than a [[RedOniBlueOni Red Oni]].
* GenderBender: There is a dungeon that basically does this to all of the characters. [[spoiler:It makes [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} Cain]] very happy to be there...]]
* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler:More like mostly-human, but Tara has some distant mermaid heritage. Most people are unaware that Mermaids even exist, so this isn't revealed until later.]]
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: The voice/text boxes which give you exposition on how to play([[NoFouthWall which is a character in and of itself]]named [[AliceAllusion Alice]].)
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Most of the Bunny Girls are actually very nice people. Also, [[spoiler:Cornelia.]]
** [[spoiler:Cornelia]] also counts as a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
* HowWeGotHere: [[spoiler:The grandma at the beginning is actually Lulu; what she's reading is basically her life story.]]
%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Tara, Cain, [[spoiler:Cornelia]].
* LesYay: Lulu likes her some wemens. And a few men here and there too. But mostly her wemens.
* [[LipstickLesbian Lipstick Bisexual]]: Li, Lulu, Cornelia... and nearly every other feminine girl in the world.
* NoFourthWall: Some characters are more aware of the Fourth Wall than others, but everyone gets a chance to break it. The meaningless instruction exposition is even a character of it's own (see HeWhoMustNotBeeSeen above), who can be met.
* NominalImportance: Averted and played straight all at once. Minor characters, even random [=NPCs=], almost always have names. However, their last names are seldom given unless they're either important to the plot or related to someone important to the plot.
* NoodleIncident: Tara's other friend, Liam, was killed in a [[Webcomic/{{xkcd}} tragic knitting accident]]. The exact details are never given.
* OneGenderRace: The Bunnygirls. [[spoiler:Eventually revealed to be more of a one ''sex'' race than a one ''gender'' race - there are male Bunnygirls, but they're all physically female.]]
* OnlySaneMan: Tara fills this role at first, but [[spoiler:she's crazied out by the time Cornelia and Cain join the group, when Cain fills the role. It's saying a lot when your OnlySaneMan has tried to cut off his own breasts and ears with a scissors before...]]
* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: They know mermaid-fu! [[spoiler: They save Lulu from nearly drowning.]]
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: The Camona. [[They're harmless creatures who just happen to prefer getting most of their nourishment from blood. They throw the rest of the carcasses out to sea due to tradition (that in itself was borne of Mermaid attacks), not because of any strange unreasonable beliefs. Their tendency toward electricity and science comes from an inborn curiosity and from being unfairly excluded from learning magic, not because they specifically reject magical practices. Also, they have mechanized wings that hold spiritual significance for them- the tattoos on their faces are pictographical statements of this fact.]]
* PartyInMyPocket: Literally; a "computerized" (read:Magic computers) system invented specifically for travelers, known as the Party System, allows several people to live, literally, in your pocket, and their metabolisms are slowed nearly to a halt. They are always aware of the world around them; and they can come back out at any time.
* PlayboyBunny: An entire race of them, [[OneGenderRace all female]]. They reproduce with... each other, sort of. They tend to be either [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold prostitutes]] or librarians.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:The scientist who kidnapped Li just before the events of the story was trying to exorcise her of a Kobold that [[TheWoobie doesn't mean to be an omen of doom]]. Therefore, it's up to the heroes to finish what he started. [[DownerEnding It doesn't end well.]]]]
* ShyBlueHairedGirl: Tara. [[spoiler:The blue hair is actually natural, though she's been taught to claim that it isn't.]]
* SoapOperaDisease: [[spoiler:Cornelia suffers from a yet-unspecified chronic illness.]]
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: [[spoiler: Cain's name [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} used to be]] [[CainAndAbel Abel]].]]
* WhiteMagicianGirl: Lulu, furthering her role as a {{foil}} for [[BlackMagicianGirl Tara]]. [[spoiler:She eventually learns Mermaid-fu and her role in battle expands.]]
* YanDere: [[spoiler:Lulu towards Tara, though to a mild degree.]]
