In Act 26 of the series, Luna gains the ability to turn into a young human girl, given the name Luna Tsukino, and is able to become a Sailor Senshi. Her personality as a human girl is essentially identical to her normal self, except that she has a mild obsession with sweet foods and behaves more like a real cat, in that she runs from dogs and is easily distracted by toys. She also has heightened hearing and is able to move extremely quickly. Luna involuntarily transforms back into a plushie under certain circumstances such as sneezing, taking a direct attack from an enemy, or falling unconscious.
By dialing 6-7-2 on her cellphone-like transformation device and shouting "Luna Prism Power," she can transform into Sailor Luna, the "Soldier of Love and Small Things."[3] In this form she uses a special attack called "Luna Sucre Candy" which bombards an enemy in exploding sweets. Her main weapon is a "candy" wand, which looks similar to Sailor Moon's "Moon Stick" and which she can transform into various other objects, such as a paper fan or a butterfly net.
In the Special Act epilogue, Luna is the only one of the Senshi who is still able to transform without outside assistance. She is also shown living mainly as a human with Usagi's family, with whom she gets along quite well, though she still takes on her cat form when necessary.
The character of Sailor Luna was designed by Naoko Takeuchi herself. The only time she appears in an outfit other than what Takeuchi designed�her Senshi uniform or her purple shirt and yellow skirt�is in the Special Act, where she serves as the flower girl at Usagi and Mamoru's wedding. The actress who portrayed Luna's human form has expressed that she wishes she could have played Chibiusa, because she likes pink.[citation needed]
For Luna's plushie form, Keiko Han reprises her original role as the cat's voice. When in human form, Luna is played by Rina Koike.
