Moon Lineage

I coast along on your coattails, SailorMoon sistas! Top to bottom, left to right; civilian name first if there is one and then the royal form most used in my universe.

Chiyoko, Queen Serenity: First True Queen. Through a series of interesting events, Chiyoko becomes queen of the empty moon and colonizes it. Her people call her Serenity for her gentle kindness and the title sticks. She falls in love with a feudal lord but he tragically dies before they can wed. Her daughter is born through the magic of the moon. Thousands of years later, she is reborn as a mischievous princess who falls in love with an ebony-haired prince . . .

Queen Serenity: Although she is not the immediate successor to Chiyoko, Serenity is of special importance, as it was she who finally achieves the ideals of the Silver Millennium. Her hopes for her daughter’s ascension are dashed when Beryl attacks and destroys her home. In the future, she acts as a guide to her daughter and watches over her family in spirit form.

Lord Tsuki: I had a really stupid reason for having a male counterpart to Princess Serenity. Suffice it to say, I really like the character, but need to come up with a new history for him (as well as the other male soldiers I created). Lord Tsuki is NOT Serenity’s sibling, but more of a clone.

Tsukino Usagi, (Neo) Queen Serenity: The star of our show! Serenity doesn’t change much when she ascends. Except for a basic intelligence boost and the ability to curb her emotions better, Serenity is always Usagi at heart.

“Kareino Kayou,” Princess Kayou: Princess Kayou is NOT canon to my universe, but she was at one point. Back when my Sailor Muse was a big Mary Sue, her planet was destroyed by a Male Beryl clone named Mica (who incidentally wanted Kayou, who had a boyfriend who JUST HAPPENED to be the son of one of the Earth King’s advisers and Endymion’s best friend). Kayou’s mother used her Sapphire Crystal to push back Mica before the current Queen Serenity could come to their aid; she knew to do this because OMG THE PRINCESS HAD TELEPATHY OMG. Muse was destroyed, the queen was killed, and Kayou could only be reborn. Serenity thus raised Kayou as Princess Kayou on the moon as Princess Serenity’s “cousin”. Serenity was also able to save Kayou’s mother by turning her into a cat named Solana. So, Kayou’s Luna really WAS her mother figure! I only included her here because I think her design is nice.

Ani Mei: Ani Mei is not of the moon line, but is physically identical to Usagi because of her role as the actual sailor of the moon before SailorMoon was formed. Mei has issues because of how she became Sailor Moon originally, as well as issues regarding how much sacrifice she has had to make. Still, she loves Usagi and is broken when she is reborn after Usagi's death.

Lord Tsuki II: Once again, an unexplained male counterpart. In this one’s defense, his entire existence is dependent on what Serenity does. If she has a boy, he would be a girl. If said child’s hair is bright green, so is his. Because he is technically an extension of Lord Tsuki as a male clone of Serenity, he has a lot of existential crisis.

Tsukino Mamoru, Prince Endymion II: Prince Endymion is born before his parents’ ascension and basically breaks the magical rule for one female heir. His power is weaker than his sister’s, because it is a diluted version and can only grow over time and with serious training. Despite this, Mamo-kun is an upbeat guy with a lot of love to give.

Tsukino ChibiUsa, Princess (Small Lady) Serenity: ChibiUsa is more morose than her brother, but not as much as her sister. She feels like life is a constant struggle and she worries she won’t be a good queen. She has a lot of issues with her past and battles with her feelings of inferiority.

Miyakami Yuriko, Princess Sincerity: Yuriko is Beryl reborn and cleansed. She also has a lot of problems, stemming from her past and her parents’ death during the Black Moon invasion. Yuriko wants nothing more to go to the past and somehow stop Beryl, even if it means she will cease to exist. She also learns she was the original candidate for Sailor Eris, which furthers her issues.

Prince Brizo: Brizo is Mamo-kun’s son with Helios’ sister, Eos. Eos guards comas, visions, and other half-sleeps. The goddess Brizo is the Greek goddess of sailors and was also known as an interpreter of dreams, so it works out nicely. Brizo isn’t the oldest, which is why he isn’t named Endymion, but he is the only child of Mamo-kun I’ve created so far. He gets his hair from his great-grandfather Kenji.

Tsukino Houseki, Princess Fidelity: Being born after your starseed has had eighteen plus years of nothing to do will do funny things to the mind. Houseki is generally a morose girl, taking more after her aunt than her mother’s current mindset. She doesn’t believe she is heir, and in fact refuses the rank when given the choice. Instead, she takes the name Fidelity and swears by it. She will protect her sisters with her life and find what she perceives as a right to live.

Tsukino Usagi(ko), Princess Serenity: Usagiko is even more annoying and emo than Houseki. Where Houseki is obedient and sorrowful, Usagiko is annoying and brash. She doesn’t want to be a princess or a senshi and resents Houseki for “foisting” the moon heritage on her. She eventually calms down and becomes a good queen, but it takes a lot of hard work and pain.

Tsukino Konijin, Princess White Rose Serenity: Konijin is the elder and quieter twin. Konijin lets Kani take her to all sorts of crazy places, but is firm in not hurting anyone. She looks up to Houseki as her mentor, because they are both quiet and obedient.

Tsukino Kani, Princess Red Rose Serenity: Kani is a whirlwind. She takes after her grandmother in boundless energy, and her mother in her avoidance of the rules. She and Konijin are inseparable, but they are very adamant about their individuality. Although they share a princess dress and special occasion outfits, their everyday clothes are night and day (as are their likes and dislikes). Kani sees Usagiko as a cranky version of herself, and somehow manages to get her sister to lighten up.

Tsukino Cho, Princess Serenity: Cho is the alternate dimension heir of the moon. She is the firstborn (and likely only-born) of ChibiUsa and Tomoe Hotaru. Don’t worry; Helios ends up with Diana and in both dimensions Perle marries the personified, sentient Luna-P. Although Cho plays no part in my main universe, I included her because I like her.

Queen Selene: Many, many generations after Houseki, Selene is born from the very magic inherent in each moon queen. She is a solemn woman who just wants to feel like she isn’t a mistake against nature. Selene contains a version of the original Usagi’s personality, tainted with the natures of all the moon queens before her and her own life’s events.

Prince Hyperion: Hyperion is named for his grandfather from several million years ago and is born several generations after ChibiUsa. Hyperion is very much his ancestors’ child, as his genetics are a grab-bag of planetary soldiers and civilian terrans. His predominant genetics are lunar and jupitarian. His personality is playful but he is able to become serious if the situation demands it.

Princess Sincerity: Sincerity has a civilian name, but I can’t remember what I named Yuriko’s birth mother. Sincerity is a sharp contrast to her mother and her father. Yuriko marries Helios’ brother Morpheus, who is the guardian of nightmares. Morpheus is able to sooth his wife’s fears and guilt, but he is a quiet man himself. That their daughter is a lively, loud girl complexes them both except when they remember Yuriko wasn’t always as restrained as she turned out to be. Sincerity loves her cousins to death, being the baby, and wants nothing more than for them all to live in the Crystal Palace forever and ever and ever . . . Her hair is the same color as Yuriko's mother's.

Princess Selene: The only child of Queen Selene, the princess is both the bane and the total meaning of her mother's life. Because of the elder Selene's issues with humanity and existence, when her flesh-and-blood child is born, she is both resentful and adoring. Selene herself just wants to be treated as a normal human, and not either a freak of nature or a goddess. Most of all, though, she wants her mother to love her.

Princess Mani: Mani is actually one of multiple moon siblings. Her sister, Princess Serenity, is the original Usagi reborn one last time. After their stint this time around, the whole of the original senshi will be allowed to enter heaven for real. They don’t know this, and just enjoy the peace they live though, never forgetting that peace never lasts more than a few thousand years. Mani is actually Sailor Angel Song reborn, which is a glitch since she SHOULD have been reborn into her own genetic line. Mani has a bit of angst over this, as well as the fact she has to decide whether to not be a senshi or take her role as Sailor Angel Song from her own descendent. She eventually decides to remain without a senshi role, and reverts to Tenshi no Kayou instead.
