History Characters / SailorMoonSupportingCast

* VagueAge: Though she is technically ReallySevenHundredYearsOld, her physical age is uncertain and even seems to vary between incarnations. It's particularly notable in the live-action series, where her cat form sounds and acts identical to her anime counterpart (who is a full-grown cat), but when she transforms into a human, she takes on the form of a young child. Takeuchi's notes place her at "a year younger then Usagi"
* VocalDissonance: In the first English dub, despite being said to be around Usagi's age in human years, she sounds too much of an elderly woman.

* BabiesEverAfter: Well, Chibi-Usa ''is'' the KidFromTheFuture; and in the last pages of the manga, which show Usagi and Mamoru's wedding, Usagi is '''very''' heavily implied to be pregnant with Chibi-Usa.

* {{Determinator}}: He's been orphaned, brainwashed and otherwise distressed, but manages to endure and recover from it. He's always ready to support the Sailor Guardians in their fight against evil, despite being weaker than them.

* NonActionGuy: In the anime, particularly in later seasons. He says [[RousingSpeech a few words]] to bolster Sailor Moon's spirits, throws a rose, and wanders off. He has to be [[JamesBondage saved from]] death/possession (season one), brainwashing/his own stupidity (season two), villain-induced illness (season four), and [[spoiler:death]] (season five), not to mention many smaller instances. Except for providing ThePowerOfLove a few times and a pivotal future cast member, he's kind of useless in battle. Possibly a case of CantCatchUp, since the Sailors get [[SoLastSeason regular upgrades]] while he... uh, doesn't. This makes the moment where he causes Tellu's death even more surprising. In the [[Manga/SailorMoon manga]] he had an actual attack and awesome mind powers -- including healing, a psychic connection to his loved ones, and the ability to feel the earth's pain -- and beat up bad guys more often. He was much more badass as a villain, as well.

* TelescopingStaff: His cane, which he could extend at will in the anime.

!!Mamoru Chiba/Tuxedo Mask

* MeaningfulName: Chiba Mamoru means "to protect the earth."

** Same goes with Artemis. She can beat him up [[DisproportionateRetribution over minor offenses]] ([[KickTheDog or for no reason whatsoever]]), but she'll get defensive if anyone else so much lays a finger on him.

* GreenThumb: The iconic mystical roses he uses in the 90s anime are likely magically produced by him.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Expy Expy]]: Naoko Takeuchi modeled Tuxedo Mask after [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/MagicKaitoKaitoKuroba Kaitou Kid]], which predates both Sailor Moon and Gosho's later, more popular series [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Manga/CaseClosed Detective Conan]] which launched Kaitou Kid to stardom via CanonWelding

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In the Manga, they're the only ones of Usagi's friends not shown to be resurrected at the end after they are killed, leaving it unclear if they were KilledOffForReal or not. ''Anime/SailorMoonCosmos'' finally confirms that yes, the cats were resurrected along with everyone else.

* GenderBlenderName: This is mentioned in the ''Sailor V'' manga, when Minako points out that he's a male cat with a goddess' name. Although the Greek name Artemis is actually gender neutral; it just so happens that its most famous holder is a goddess.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: They're the only ones of Usagi's friends not shown to be resurrected at the end of the manga. It's entirely possible they were resurrected "offscreen," but nothing is never confirmed as they are never mentioned again.
