History Characters / SailorMoonMainCast

* ButNotTooBlack: She's downright dark-skinned in the manga, but in both anime and pretty much any color illustration, she's just lightly tanned.

* ElectraComplex: She's attracted to a literal younger version of her father. She later grows out of it after she meets Helios.

* ParentalIncest: While she has an ElectraComplex for her father, as Black Lady, she specifically targets her own father for brainwashing to monopolize his attentions, kissing him on-panel in the manga.

* PrecociousCrush: She has some... confused feelings about Mamoru. Even after she knows [[ElectraComplex he's her father]], she sees his past self differently than his future self and keeps crushing on him.

* SurpriseIncest: When she appears, she has an AccidentalKiss with Mamoru and [[ElectraComplex competes with Usagi for his affections]]. Mamoru and Usagi are surprised to learn that she's their KidFromTheFuture.

* BoyishShortAhir: Averted. Her wavy short hair actually emphasizes her femininity rather than subvert it.

** Setsuna: To be a nurse.

** Hotaru: To be a fashion designer.

* RaiseHerRightThisTime: The Ouers adpt her to give her a happier childhood after her rebirth.
* RavenHairIvorySkin: She has black hair and a skin tone described as "alabaster". Her first appearance in the manga basically launched Chibi-Usa headfirst into puberty. And that was ''before'' [[WhenSheSmiles she smiled]]. Furthermore, the first adjective Chibi-Usa ever applies to Hotaru is "beautiful". Usagi and Mamoru agree.

** Setsuna: To be a fashion designer.

** Hotaru: To be a nurse.

** Usagi (nice), Rei (mean), and Ami (in-between). Usagi is the nice one as she doesn't have a malicious bone in her body and is very happy, albeit also ignorant about what he's doing. Rei is the mean one, a short tempered Jerkass who constantly picks on Usagi. While Ami is nowhere near to be as a jerk as Rei and is very mild-mannered, she has been known to lose it a couple of times and can be very judgemental..
*** On occasion can switch to Ami (nice) and Usagi (in-between), as Usagi is more impulsive and doesn't always understand the consequences of the trio's actions, she is occasionally whiny and bratty, and Ami always tries to find a reasonable, non-violent solution to problems. Rei can also share in-between with either any of her friends.

** From the first half of the first season, Ami/Mercury is always sweet, gentle, and patient (nice), Rei/Mars is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold with a HairTriggerTemper (mean), and Usagi/Moon is nice and optimistic, yet whiny and occasionally bratty (in-between).

* UnstoppableRage: Each of the inner soldiers receive a power-up after experiencing this in the R season of the anime. Sailor Venus receives another power in a similar fashion in the [=SuperS=] season after being bound up and having her Dream Mirror ripped out by the two guys she was two-timing. Same with Sailor Mercury in her [=SuperS=] movie special, when she thinks that her academic rival is trying to get under her skin and attack her (the enemy she attacks [[spoiler:turns out to be someone completely different]].)

* RoseHairedSweetie: Downplayed since she can be bratty and selfish at times, but her pink hair still highlights how at her best, she's a CheerfulChild who ultimately has a good heart like Usagi does.

* BladeOnAStick: Her Silence Glaive.

*** Brawn: Rei/Sailor Mars, a shrine maiden with fire powers and anger issues.

*** Brains: Minako/Sailor Venus, TheStrategist of the team.

*** Usagi/Moon -- Eclectic (both anime and manga/Crystal)
*** Ami/Mercury -- Melancholic (anime), Phlegmatic (manga/Crystal)
*** Rei/Mars -- Choleric (anime), Melancholic (manga/Crystal)
*** Makoto/Jupiter -- Phlegmatic (anime), Sanguine (manga/Crystal)
*** Minako/Venus -- Sanguine (anime), Choleric (manga/Crystal)

*** Setsuna/Pluto -- Melancholic

*** Hotaru/Saturn -- Phlegmatic

** She [[PsychologicalProjection accuses Usagi of being "ungrateful"]] for rejecting her mother's hot cakes, when she herself does not appreciate that Usagi had constantly put her own life on the line to save her from danger.
** In one episode, she gets viciously angry at Usagi after the latter unknowingly stole the pie she baked for a classmate. In other episodes, she would knowingly steal Usagi's food [[ItAmusedMe just for the sake of it]].

* HasTwoMommies: When [[spoiler:Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna adopt her after she resurrects. She calls them Haruka-papa, Michiru-mama, and Setsuna-mama respectively, showing that Haruka is viewed more as a father than a mother]]. Her real, albeit dead, mother Keiko probably counts too.

** In the manga and ''Crystal'', on the other hand, it's implied that she has a slight crush on King Endymion [[UnrequitedTragicMaiden but can't reveal her feelings under any circumstances]] for obvious reasons. The (first set of) [[Theatre/SeraMyu Musicals]] canonize this, giving her a duet with Queen Beryl over their shared unrequited feelings, Onna no Ronsou. (Women's Depute)

* AdaptationalJerkass: In both the mange and ''Anime/SailorMoonCrystal'', the reason Uranus and Neptune initially refuse to work with the Inner Guardians is they awoke too late to stop Pharoah 90 and the Death Busters from invading. As their role is to protect the Solar System from external threats, they didn't want the Inners getting hurt for what they considered a failure in their duty. However, when the Inners gained new power and proved they didn't need to be protected, the Outers apologized for their conduct and accepted them as allies before parting on mutual good terms. In the 90's anime however, the Outers arrogantly refuse the aid or even to offer aid to the Inners and even try to outright attempt to kill Sailor Moon because they couldn't stand her idealism, forcing Sailor Moon to outsmart them before they admitted defeat. Then in the final arc, they outright murder Pluto and Saturn as part of a ploy to get close enough to kill Sailor Galaxia.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Sailors Uranus and Neptune in ''Anime/SailorMoonCrystal'' are nowhere near as antagonistic towards in the Inner Guardians like they were in the original anime despite remaining prideful overall. In the end of the Death Busters story arc, they outright attempt to kill Sailor Moon because they couldn't stand her idealism, forcing Sailor Moon to outsmart them before they admitted defeat. In ''Crystal'', no such thing happens, and they part ways from the Inners on peaceful terms.

** {{Subverted|Trope}} in the early musicals, where she's fast paced, funny and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=FhUhsk5XXS8#t=139 likened to a mother]] [[ChristmasCake to her dislike]].

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: The anime frequently featured slapstick gags with the main female cast as the victims. Usagi was the most common victim, due to her extreme clumsiness getting her hurt and general ThisLoserIsYou nature as a character, but plenty of gags featured the rest of the cast as well. Ironically, Mamoru/Tuxedo Mask, the only male human in the regular cast, was the ''least'' likely to be on the receiving end of the show's physical comedy until the notably more serious and poised Outer Guardians were introduced, suggesting it had more to do with finesse and grace than anything.
