In the Sailor Moon manga series, tankubon 17, Sailor Lethe joined Sailor Galaxia after her home planets' demise also called Lethe and, after a confrontation with Sailor Moon, she actually kills Luna, Artemis, and Diana.
Sailor Lethe did this because she wanted to make a point about how futile Sailor Moon's life is - just for that, she murdered our poor kitty family. Sure, this series is known for being directed at little girls, but there's definitely something scarring about seeing your favorite magical cartoon cats die. Surprisingly dark! Luckily everyone who died was ultimately reincarnated so Luna, Artemis, and Diana came back with a vengeance. But once you've seen these cute kitties die, you just can't unsee it.
Sailor Lethe is truly the worst. Before Sailor Moon was licensed in America, Toon Maker created a very different pilot for Bandai to make an American series inspired by the show. This pilot saw Luna as a white cat rather than black.
She wasn't the only character to get a revamp, though, as the scouts were mixed race, and one was even wheelchair bound. This version featured both live-action footage, CG, and new cel animation in a two-minute trailer which was shown at the Anime Expo. You can find the trailer online going by the name of "Saban Moon" as fans thought the Saban company had something to do with it. Thank Goodness this show never got picked up to series and we got the English dubbed version of the original anime instead!
First between and , the manga was turned into a series of stage musicals in Japan using the plotlines from the anime and manga. Called Sera Myu for short, the stage shows were revived in and continue in Japan to this day. The musicals since have given those guardians roles to other characters. This is presumably because the translation of a human in a cat costume looked rather awkward and didn't really work.

Luna and Artemis spread the word. Despite her plea not to use the crystal sacrifice herself to defeat the Dark Kingdom, the Queen does so and resurrects her daughter and everyone else.
Later, the Queen sends her daughter, the Earth Prince, the four princesses of Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus, and the entire court to be reincarnated on Earth in the future. Before dying and sending them to Earth in suspended animation, the Queen instructs Luna and Artemis to find the princesses so that they can become the future Sailor Senshi. At some point upon their arrival on Earth, Luna and Artemis split up so they can find the princesses faster.
Luna was saved by Usagi, who was the reincarnation of Princess Serenity, when some boys were picking on her. Usagi noticed the bandage on her forehead. When she took it off, it revealed the credentials moon birthmark. Later, at her home in her room, Usagi discovered Luna standing there.

When in human form, Luna is played by Rina Koike.
He is the companion to the leader of the Guardian Senshi —he trained Minako Aino as Sailor V, and remains by her side when she takes on her proper role as Sailor Venus. His memory of the Silver Millennium seems to be more intact than Luna's—in fact, before appearing in the Sailor Moon series he guides her through the Sailor V video game at the arcade , but not revealing his true identity and giving the codename "Central Control" in the dubbed anime.
When a technical problem reveals him, Luna is greatly annoyed to learn that he's been the one guiding her all along. Artemis is more easygoing than Luna, and has a "big brother" relationship with Minako, although his attraction to her is sometimes implied. In addition, he is a good father to Diana as evidenced by her affection for him. In the Sailor V manga and the live-action series, Artemis gives special items to the Senshi, although unlike Luna he does not seem to produce them himself.
He never does this in the Sailor Moon manga or the anime. He also does not seem to mind the fact that he is named after a female goddess, even when teased about it by Minako. In the first official Sailor Moon character popularity poll, Artemis was the seventeenth most popular character out of thirty eight choices.
In the original anime, Artemis is voiced by Yasuhiro Takato. He appears in the first Sailor Moon musical, played by a cat-suited Keiji Himeno.
In the live-action series, he is represented as a toy, stuffed cat, and is voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi. In the manga, she first appears when the Senshi travel to the 30th century in Act There, she is revealed as the child of Luna and Artemis, and when the Senshi return to the 20th century in Act 23, she goes with them.
In the anime, she does not appear until Episode of the SuperS series, when the grey kitten suddenly jumps out of the bushes, calls Artemis her Daddy, and nuzzles up against him. Artemis is shocked and confused to find out that he has a daughter, while an angry Luna accuses him of an affair with another female cat and scratches him across the face before running off, leaving him alone with a puzzled Diana.
Only later it is revealed that Diana has come from the future and that her mother is Luna. In both versions of the series, Diana has pink eyes. She is very curious, eager to help, and deeply polite, always addressing Usagi and Mamoru with the Japanese honorific " -sama " and calling Chibiusa by her formal title, Small Lady. She is also able to help the Senshi on occasion, despite her youth, and often because of the knowledge she has gained in the future.
In Act 46 of manga, having returned to the future along with Chibiusa, she is able to sense the danger her parents are in and go back in time to save them from being killed. When Pluto tells her she is unable to leave her post, Diana tells her that she will watch it in her place. In the second official Sailor Moon character popularity poll, Diana was the sixteenth most popular character out of fifty choices.
