Luna Child (ルナチャイルド, Runa Chairudo) is a fairy and one of the members of the Three Fairies of Light, composed of her, Sunny Milk, and Star Sapphire. She currently lives in a tree close to the Hakurei Shrine with her two partners. She often pranks humans along with her two partners, using her ability to mute sound around her to her advantage.
Luna is often described as clumsy and maybe even stupid at times, and is as curious as other fairies. She has a rare characteristic for a fairy; she loves coffee beans, is sometimes seen stealing some from humans, and is also fond of alcohol. Luna, much like her partners, is not very powerful. Her power allows her to mute sound around her, although, when used in tandem with Sunny's power to refract light, they can be a powerful stealthy pair. Luna, much like Sunny Milk, gets weaker when her natural element, the moon, is not present in the sky.

Concept
Name
Luna's name is based on the element which she draws power from: the moon.
Appearance
Luna Child's depiction remains the same throughout her presence in the series, although she receives a few minor clothing alterations. In Eastern and Little Nature Deity, Luna has red eyes and yellow hair, arranged into six princess curls at the sides of her head, as well as a pair of wings. She wears a white and black dress having long sleeves and a few black ribbons at the front of her dress, along with a big one below her neck and an even bigger one in her back. She also has a white shoulder cloth having black outlines, and a white beret with black ribbons attached on its sides. She wears a pair of slippers as well.
In Strange and Bright Nature Deity, Luna's long sleeves are now short and puffy. In Fairy Wars, the lunar cycle is represented at the bottom of Luna's dress, although in her later appearances in Strange and Bright Nature Deity and Oriental Sacred Place, it is not present.
Story
- Eastern and Little Nature Deity / Strange and Bright Nature Deity / Oriental Sacred Place
- Main articles: Eastern and Little Nature Deity, Strange and Bright Nature Deity, and Oriental Sacred Place
These graphic novels follow the daily occurrences of Luna Child, Sunny Milk, and Star Sapphire.
It is worth mentioning that during Strange and Bright Nature Deity, Luna moves from her residence in the Forest of Magic to a new home near the Hakurei Shrine.
- Fairy Wars
In Strange and Bright Nature Deity, during New Year's eve, Sunny Milk decides that she wants to bond all the fairies together to cause an incident, Sunny then crushes Cirno 's house, along with her partners including Luna who follows Sunny's plan and leaving a flag showcasing images of their faces to show their superiority. Afterwards, Cirno sets on sending them a declaration of war, however, the fairy trio believes that it's from the humans and train for the months to come everyday, believing they would soon fight Reimu.
The next spring, they are confronted by Cirno, who was reminded by the fairies flag that they had destroyed her house months prior, resulting in the Fairy War.
Relationships
Luna lives with Sunny Milk and Star Sapphire in the same house. They often go out together when playing pranks, although Sunny Milk is usually the mastermind of their plans. She, along with her two partners, met a lot of the residents of Gensokyo in their daily adventures.
They are also one of the few customers who actually used the services of Marisa's Kirisame Magic Shop, its owner sometimes help the trio, and the opposite as well, although she is also prone to their pranks.
They are also impressed by Cirno's ability to control ice, asking her to help with some pranks, but soon after end in a small war against her.
Additional Information
Trivia
- ZUN stated that the reason why he chose Luna, Sunny, and Star as main characters is because the three of them have little fighting ability, yet are much more outgoing than Rinnosuke, making them ideal characters for introducing various aspects of Gensokyo's daily life that Rinnosuke does not participate in. [Ref. Needed]
- Luna, Sunny and Star are the first characters in the series to originally appear in a comic, then later in a game.
- Luna Child has one appearance more than her two partners, appearing as a cameo in Wild and Horned Hermit Chapter 2.
- Despite Luna Child being sometimes portrayed as dumber than her two partners, she's often shown to be reading books. It may be better to say that she has the least common sense/practical smarts instead.
Fanon
- Around and after the time Fairy Wars was released, Luna and her partners have started to appear in more fan games as bosses of considerable power/difficulty, with New Super Marisa Land being the first game.
- Her full name is sometimes abbreviated Luna-cha, written ルナ茶 since "cha" means "tea."
- Many have remarked on how her mouth looks like a chestnut, saying the phrase 口みたいな栗しやがって.
