Chibi-Usa is absolutely not this trope and the entry I just deleted, in addition to straight up lying about her not being a main character in the manga (the same story arc in the manga portrayed her as \\\'\\\'more important than Usagi\\\'\\\'), does not produce any evidence of creator favoritism besides saying \\\"There was some interview where they said this.\\\" Yea, no, you do have to produce evidence of that interview, because this fandom is notorious for inventing stories based on something they \\\"read in an interview\\\" that turn out to be wholly fabricated.
For that matter, the character was \\\'\\\'really\\\'\\\' popular in Japan if TheOtherWiki is to be believed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chibiusa#Reception_and_influence), so she\\\'s really only hitting the AmericansHateTingle trope and not TheScrappy. Character polls conducted during the original run of the series ranked her second in popularity out of 51 other characters - twice. One of them coincided with the Dream/Dead Moon Circus arc...and also the run of the Super S anime.
And for that matter, it doesn\\\'t show that much creator favoritism when she\\\'s actually weaker in the anime than in the manga - when the claim is that the anime made her a \\\"favorite.\\\" She\\\'s a running joke character in Sailor Moon S who can\\\'t even produce a functional attack, at best annoying a monster for comedy. In Super S, her only role is to ring a bell so Sailor Moon can actually kill the monster. In the manga, she had multiple lethal attacks and does not need to help Sailor Moon do anything. She even pulls a BigDamnHeroes moment in the climax of the final story arc - when the anime wrote her out of the series entirely by that part, not even bothering to give her a farewell.
