Chibi Usa- Little Rabbit of the Moon.
Legend: Usagi's name translates to Rabbit of the Moon. In Japanese folklore, Once upon a time long ago, a monkey, a rabbit, and a fox lived together as friends. During the day they frolicked on the mountain; at night they went back to the forest. This went on for some years. The Lord of Heaven heard about it and wanted to see if it were really true. He went to them disguised as an old wanderer. "I have traveled through mountains and valleys and I am tired out. Could you give me something to eat?" said he, laying down his staff in order to rest. The monkey went off at once to gather nuts that he presented; the fox brought an offering from his fish trap in the river. The rabbit ran through the fields in every direction but came back with nothing. The monkey and the fox made fun of him: "You are really good for nothing." The little rabbit was so discouraged that he asked the monkey to gather some thistles and the fox to set fire to them. They did so. Then the little rabbit said to the old man, "Please eat me," and threw himself into the flames. The pilgrim was pierced to the heart by this sacrifice, and wept, saying, "Each one deserves praise; there are neither winners nor losers. But the little rabbit has given an exceptional proof of love." So saying, he restored the rabbit to his original form and took the little body to heaven to be buried in the palace of the moon.
All Japanese know the legend and still see in the shadows on the full moon a rabbit threshing his rice.
Mythology: Selene (Greek for "moon") was the Greeks' first goddess of the moon and she is the daughter of two of the first twelve Titan gods: Hyperion and Thea. Just as her brother Helios (Greek for "sun") rides the chariot of the sun across the sky during the day and just as her sister Eos (Greek for "dawn") brings the dawn to herald the coming of Helios every morning, Selene rides the chariot of the moon across the sky at night. Selene is really an abstract deity. She is really just a personification of the Moon itself, like in books or poems. Selene was later subsumed by Artemis, the more well-known Greek goddess of the moon (Goddess of the hunt).
The Roman version of Selene is Luna (Latin for moon) and the Roman version of Artemis is Diana... thus the names for the three cats (Luna, Artemis, and Diana), how appropriate.
The moon has three aspects represented by three different moon goddesses - Selene is the heavenly aspect, Artemis is the earthly aspect, and Hecate (an underworld goddess of the moon and witchcraft) is considered the underworld aspect of the moon.
Consequently in the anime and manga, Chibi Usa falls in love with Helios.
