 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: Yumiko has long hair and wears pink. Kuri doesn't. She also tends to be more aggressive than Yumiko.

Haruna Sakurada
A description of the character goes here.


 * Ascended Extra: When you think about it, she had a much larger role in the first season and Alien arc in season R then in the manga. Then after the Alien Arc she was Put on a Bus.
 * She has a valid reason for disappearing once the girls move to high-school.
 * Butt Monkey: A frequent youma victim alongside Naru. And even beyond that, the second episode had Umino (under a monster's influence) flip her skirt up revealing her smiley face panties. She started sobbing that she wouldn't be able to get married now.
 * Christmas Cake: And how.
 * Rapunzel Hair
 * Stern Teacher: Was very demanding of Usagi, but genuinely cared for her and her friends.
 * Team Mom
 * You Look Familiar:
 * Fanon has it that everyone named "Sakurada" in Naoko Takeuchi's various manga are related. If so, then her sister Superintendant-General Sakurada Natsuna was Sailor V's fan in Codename: Sailor V, and her other sisters Akina Sakurada and Fuyuna Sakurada were in The Cherry Project and P.Q. Angels.
 * In addition, Chiyoko Kawashima, who voices Haruna, also voices Sailor Pluto and Shingo Tsukino.

A description of the characters goes here.

 * Paranormal Investigation: Kotono was the president of TA Academy's supernatural research club.
 * School Newspaper Newshound: Kotono was a member of Rei's school's news club.
 * Shout-Out: Kotono's first name is an obvious one to Kotono Mitsuishi.
 * Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?:Kyousuke is scared of high jumps.

Shingo Tsukino
A description of the character goes here.


 * Adorably Precocious Child: Can slip into this sometimes, and don't think he won't if it works to his advantage.
 * Annoying Younger Sibling: Milder version. He can be annoying and nagging, but otherwise is less whiny than other kids like him.
 * Mostly because his sister is more than whiny enough for the both of them.
 * Art Evolution: One of the few characters to visibly age in the anime. The first season drew him the way most children appear in anime. In later appearences he looks more (appropriately) like a pre-teen and has had something of of a growth spurt. This was probably done to make him look older than Chibi-Usa but still younger than Usagi.
 * Cross-Dressing Voices
 * Deadpan Snarker: He often walks away with some of the best lines when he shows up.
 * Demoted to Extra: Ever since the first season/first episodes of R.
 * Fanboys My Alter Ego: More exactly, he's a Sailor Moon fanboy.
 * Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The responsible to Usagi's foolish.
 * Heroic Bystander: For a ten year old kid Shingo has some serious cajones, aside from his brief fear of cats he rarely loses his head when he ends up in the middle of weirdness Usagi attracts, and once even tried to fight a villain head on to protect Ami, buying enough time for the rest of the Sailor Senshi to find them.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Chiyoko Kawashima, who voiced Shingo, also voices Haruna and Sailor Pluto.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold
 * Jerkass Facade: Certain materials suggest that he's hard on Usagi simply because that's just his job as her little brother, and he's trying to toughen her up to not be such a crybaby.
 * Nice Guy: Usagi might disagree, but for the most part Shingo's a pretty decent person who sticks up for other people.
 * Precocious Crush: Has a huge crush on Ami in one episode of the anime.
 * Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Is terrified of cats in the anime, due to an traumatic incident when he was a toddler. As a result, a whole first season episode is dedicated to Usagi trying to get Luna in his good graces, and after that it's never mentioned again.

Ikuko Tsukino
A description of the character goes here.


 * Blind Idiot Translation: In the recently re-released manga, Kenji and Ikuko refer to each other as papa and mama
 * Education Mama: Whooo boy...
 * To be fair, she is nowhere near as bad as Minako's mother in Codename: Sailor V, to the point that Minako actually lists her "hag of a mom" as one of her dislikes.
 * Hot Shounen Mom: Especially in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.

 * He Who Must Not Be Seen: Only in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon; even has his face obscured by a camera at.
 * Hot Shoujo Dad

 * Papa Wolf: The few times he was under attack, he immediately leapt to his family's defense

A description of the character goes here.


 * Ascended Extra: Somewhat, in the early anime.

A description of the character goes here.


 * When You Coming Home, Dad?: She truly cares for Ami, lamenting how her work kept her away from her girl. Ami might be a Lonely Rich Kid but she generally doesn't hold it against her mom, and it's because of Mizuno-sensei's example that she wants to be a doctor when she grows up.

 * Demoted to Extra
 * Hidden Eyes: Under his bangs.
 * Hopeless Suitor: He looks and acts like one - but he does cares for Rei selflessly, despite knowing she's not likely to be into him the way he wants, and so he protects her because that's his choice. He leaves it very clear to Kooan when she belittles him, this being both a huge Tear Jerker and his Crowning Moment of Awesome.
 * Nice Guy
 * Non-Idle Rich: Comes from a wealthy background but keeps steady employment, usually in jobs that are "beneath" him.
 * Perma-Stubble
 * Playing Against Type: His voice actor, Bin Shimada.

Motoki Furuhata
A description of the character goes here.


 * Ascended Extra: A bit, in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. He even gets to.
 * Blind Idiot Translation: In the recently re-released manga, Motoki's nickname is translated as 'bro'. This gets incredibly awkward later on, when Makoto refers to him as 'the bro at the Game Center.' Uhh....

 * Green Eyes
 * Nice Guy
 * Satellite Character
 * Secret Keeper: In the manga and Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.
 * Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Sensitive Guy to Mamoru's Manly Man.

 * Blue Eyes: Though she seemed to had different eye color later in the colored manga pictures.
 * Cool Big Sis
 * Everything's Sparkly with Jewelry: In the manga, Reika was really into gemstones, as she studies mineralogy at KO University.

 * Long-Distance Relationship: With Motoki.
 * Put on a Bus: Twice
 * Talking to Herself: Played by Rika Fukami, who also plays Minako/Venus.
 * This is avoided in the first season, but played straight in the second one.

Unazuki Furuhata
Motoki's sister, and a waitress at the Crown Fruit Parlor.


 * Cool Big Sis: To Usagi.
 * First Kiss: Her A Day in the Limelight episode, in the S series, was centered on how she and her boyfriend had not even kissed...
 * Genki Girl
 * Mistaken for Cheating: Subverted in R. Mamoru once gave her a ride in his motorbike because she was late tio a date with her boyfriend; Usagi saw them and thought Unazuki was his new girlfriend. Since those were his "It's Not You, It's Me" days, he tried to use it to his advantage so Usagi would get over him. It backfired. Horribly.

Rei's parents
A description of the characters goes here.


 * Death by Origin Story: Mrs. Hino.
 * Disappeared Dad
 * Ill Girl: Mrs. Hino.
 * Invisible Parents: Anime and manga, though we see an image of Mrs. Hino in the manga.
