Serena/Tsukino Usagi/Sailor Moon

Tsuki means moon, and Usagi means rabbit. The -no at the end of the last name shows possession. Thus, Sailor Moon's name literally translates to be "rabbit of the moon". According to Japanese legend, there are rabbits who live on the moon, always pounding sweetcakes(or mochi) with mallets.To the Japanese, it is believed that the face of the moon resembles a rabbit.

Usagi's counterpart in Greek mytholgy is Selene, the goddess of the moon.  Daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia. Sister of Helios (sun) and Eos (dawn). She also had love affairs including Endymion (Sailormoon�s prince charming Tuxedo Kamen). Unfortunately the love story is unrequited love. She fell deeply in love with him. She always watched over while he�s asleep. Anyway, she also seduced him, so as a result they have 50 daughters!  She is also involves with Zeus and had a daughter Pandia.

She rode across the sky in a chariot drawn by two a0607c horses. Also a tutelary deity of magicians. Selene was sometimes identified with Artemis as a moon goddess. She became syncretized with Hekate in later Greek mythology. The Romans equated her with Luna.
