- Break the Cutie: Hoo boy, she goes through this BADLY in Broken Hearts. She gets better, though.
- Calling Parents by Their Name: Adopted parents actually, but the trope is still in effect, since Luna still remembers her mother and Family of Choice and doesn't want to forget them. Nevertheless, her guardians are still understanding enough to accept it, even if they wanted Luna to call them mom and dad like Kairi does.
- Casting a Shadow: Luna can summon numerous Shadow Hands to attack her enemies at any range.

And when Sora's obsession with finding Naminé starts to get the better of him, he still cares enough about Luna to show guilt when he realizes he's pushing her too hard.
- Mundane Object Amazement: Luna had these moments when she was a child in Broken Hearts and Scattered Hearts. Considering how sheltered she was and had little experience with the world outside, this makes sense.

- Throughout Tainted Hearts, Medea calls out Donald for his behavior, which escalates to her calling out Donald for leaving Sora to follow Riku just because of the King's orders. She comes to regret this though, and once Donald apologizes, she reciprocates and reconciles with him.
- When Sora's obsession with finding Naminé leads him to abandon Donald and Goofy the moment they question the legitimacy of his memories and ask him to think things through, Medea rightly calls out Sora on this and asks him if he would abandon her and Luna if they expressed disagreements. This shuts down Sora's arguments, especially when Luna sadly questions if he had forgotten his promise to her long ago.
