Need to see some candid images and shots of Luna, Artemis, and Diana? Go check out my "Guardian Cats Image Archive->
 Diamond's Feline Database:
Feline Identity: Luna
Name Origin: (Greek for "moon")
Name of Person They Oversee: Serena (Princess Serena, Sailor Moon, NeoQueen Serenity)
Hobbies/Interests: Studying history, pushing Serena to do her best, training the Sailor Senshi, and worrying about the Senshi
Personality Traits: Very intelligent, intellectual, calm, and a great source of advice in a time of need
 Luna:Luna is the guardian cat of Serena (Usagi/Sailor Moon). Of the 3 guardian cats, Luna is the most involved in the whole SM sreies (arguably). She is very intelligent, wise about things of the past (as well as the future), friendly to others, and a great source of advice. Luna is the preson (I mean cat ^_^) to unite Sailors Moon, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Mercury in their fight against the NegaVerse (Dark Kingdom). (*Go to my "Shrine of the NegaVerse" page to find out more about the beginning and eventual end of the NegaVerse, its generals, and MORE!).
 Luna has been around since the Silver Millenium (and who in the SM series hasn't? ^_^). During that period in time, Luna (along with her close friend, Artemis) was an advisor to Queen Serenity and her Moon Kingdom. She and Artemis would help Queen Serenity govern and carry out the various duties of the entire Moon Kingdom. Unfortunately for Luna (and everyone else of the Moon Kingdom), their happiness during the Silver Millenium was cut short, thanks to queen Beryl and the NegaVerse. It is after the NegaVerse's conquest of the Moon Kingdom that Queen Serenity decides to (against the advice of Luna and Artemis) send her daughter (Princess Serena), Prince Darien (Prince Endymion), and her court into the future (our present) on Earth. (*Go to my "Queen Serenity and the Silver Millenium" page to find out more about the beginnings of the Moon Kingdom, the Silver Millenium, and MORE!).
 Luna first meets Serena in the very begining of the first season in the SM series. As Serena is rushing to school (and when is she not? ^_^), she spots some kids messing around with and abusing a poor cat. Serena then quickly sends the boys away and peals away a bandage that was on the cat's head; a crescent moon shape is found! Serena gets "freaked out" when she realizes that she is REALLY late for school and leaves that cat and the scene. Some hours later, Serena returns home and sprawls all over her bed (to rest from yet another day of hard work ^_^). Not much longer after that, the cat from before comes into Serena's room and reveals to her that her (the cat's) name is Luna. Luna then explains to Serena that she (Serena) is the defender of love and justice, Sailor Moon! Luna then flips in the air and makes the Moon Prism Compact appear. She then tels Serena to hold the item and call out "Moon Prism Power"! Serena then does so and that is how Luna was able to awaken her first Senshi, Sailor Moon. (*As the 1st season goes on, Luna discovers the hidden identities of 3 more girls: Amy/Mizuno Ami , Raye/Hino Rei , and Lita/Kino Makoto . Luna gives each of them a Henshin Pin/Transformation Stick to be able to turn into the Senshi's of their respective planets).
 Once the 1st season of the SM series is over, Luna's overall importance in the whole SM series begins to decline. She is still a valuable character, though. Throughout the rest of the SM series, Luna acts as Serena's special friend and aid to the other Inner Senshi. She is there when Serena needs her, when Amy needs advice, or when Lita would need someone to talk to (you know what I mean). There is one person (I should say "cat") that Luna shares a special bond with: his name is Artemis. Luna tries to pretend that she and Artemis are just friends (by pointing out Artemis' weaknesses and by not complimenting him on anything that he may do well), but their "friendship" is much more. Even though Luna, nor Aryemis, don't want to admit it sometimes, but they both love each other very much (awwww, kitty love ^_^). (*In the SailorMoon S series, a cat named Diana is found out to be the child of Artemis and Luna from the future).
*A DIAMOND FELINE FACT: Did you know that Luna is the only one of the guardian cats to have morphed into a human (anime-style)(in the SMS movie)? However, all 3 of the guardian cats have human forms in the SailorMoon manga. Cool, isn't it?
    
  
 Diamond's Feline Database:
Feline Identity: Artemis
Name Origin: (Greek goddess of the moon, "Artemis")
Hobbies/Interests: Bothering Luna, tutoring Mina (Aino Minako/Sailor Venus), wanting to impress Luna (^_^), and being a "cool" cat (^_^)
Personality Traits: Somewhat suave and cool, sassy, funny, active, and nice to chat with
 Artemis: Artemis is the guardian cat of Mina (Minako/Sailor Venus). Of the 3 guardian cats, Artemis is probably the most skilled in the art of fighting (arguably). He is very smart, cunning, charming (for Luna's sake ^_^), and just a little bit insensitive. When something is bothering someone (namely Mina), Artemis is quick to judge the situation and make the person feel better after he tries to talk to them. He is the guardian cat that unites Sailor Venus with Sailors Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, and Mars (shortly after a battle that Tuxedo Mask/Tuxedo Kamen and the Inner Senshi have against NegaVerse generals Zoisite/Zoicyte and Malachite/Kunzite). (*Check out my "Sailor_Venus_Mina" info page to find out more about Sailor Venus' reunion with the rest of the Inner Senshi).
 (*Some of you may not know this , but Artemis was training Sailor Venus to fight crime (in england) way before Luna was able to awaken ANY of the Senshi! It was training that made Sailor Venus able to stop crime and achieve "celebrity status", if you will, with dolls, movies, and video games made in her likeness!).
 Artemis shares a special bond with Luna, the guardian cat of Serena/Sailor Moon. You see, he loves Luna VERY much (even though he may not show it all of the time ^_^) and would do ANYTHING to impress and prove to her that he is a courageous, brave cat. Artemis felt like he had to prove all that he said he was when the time came (all of you couples out there: TAKE NOTE! ^_^). Though some of the things that Artemis did seemed idiotic and uncalculated, Luna knew what his true intentions were (which led to her eventual loving Artemis unconditionally--even though that love wasn't always shown). (*The proof of Luna and Artemis' love comes when they find out that Diana is their child from the future, making Diana the 3rd and final guardian cat).
*A DIAMOND FELINE FACT: Did you know that the origin of Artemis' name comes from the name of the Greek goddess of the Moon, "Artemis"? Artemis the cat is MALE! What's up with that? ^_^.
   
 Diamond's Feline Database:
Feline Identity: Diana
Name Origin: (Roman goddess of the moon, "Diana")
Name of Person That They Oversee: Rini (ChibiUsa/Sailor ChibiMoon/Sailor MiniMoon/Princess Lady Rini)
Hobbies/Interests: Comforting everyone and wondering about the world around her
Personality Traits: Kawaii (cute), sensitive, curious, and a good friend (especially to Rini/ChibiUsa)
 Diana:Diana is the guardian cat of Rini (ChibiUsa/Sailor ChibiMoon/MiniMoon). Of the 3 guardian cats, Diana seems to be the cutest, or "kawaii" (arguably). She is sweet, innocent, friendly, and the "perfect" companion to anyone in need. Above all, Diana is the child of Luna and Artemis, 2 other guardian cats! (*Luna and Artemis had no clue who Diana was when she appeared in the SailorMoon Super S series).
 There isn't much to say about Diana except for maybe a few things. Diana makes her 1st appearance in the SMSS (Super S) series (the same time that Rini's Luna-P is missing). Because of Diana's young age, she isn't able to offer much guidance to Rini (or anyone else), so she just basically acts like a regular friend (or kawaii housecat ^_^). She has a quick wit and is very curious to the things around her (which make some episodes in the SMSS series worth aughing at ^_^).
*A DIAMOND FELINE FACT: Did you know that the origin of Diana's name came from the name of the Roman goddess of the Moon, "Diana"? (Hmmmm......where has Naoko gotten the inspiration of using "moon-themed" names for all 3 of the guardian cats? ^_^).
