Name: Tsukino Usagi (Sailormoon; Neo-Queen Serenity)
Age: 14 at start of series
Apparent Gender: Female
Evident Sexual Preference: Heterosexual, serially monogamous
Relationships/Liasons: Chiba Mamoru (Tuxedo Kamen), Kou Seiya (Sailorstarfighter)
Gender Role Issues: Usagi suffers from no internal conflict regarding
her role as a woman, but is very traditional and idealistic in her approach:
"Just when I'm in trouble, a handsome guy will come along and save
me! That's my dream!" She usually finds sufficient resolve to handle
crises, but this tends to require the encouragement of her partner.
Miscellaneous: Competes with her own (albeit future) daughter for
Mamoru's romantic affections, whether or not Mamoru realizes it; is often
shown to feel challenged and defeated by this competition. Slightly homophobic
(a trait shared with most of the inner senshi). Protective of her partner
to the point of easy jealousy and all-pervasive obsession. Compulsive
overeater (since only a slight growth spurt is apparent over the course
of the series, this may or may not be a true eating disorder). English
dub counterpart, Serena, has pronounced body image issues in first season;
original does acknowledge having "small breasts" in the R series
(Black Moon arc, episode 81).
