About

Luna represents multiple distinct characters across retro gaming, most notably the heroine Luna Noa in Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete, who possesses magical singing powers. The name also belongs to the digitized professional wrestler Luna Vachon in WWF Raw (1994), a playable character in Bust-A-Move 99, and a hoverboarder in EyeToy: AntiGrav.

In the Lunar franchise, particularly Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete and its Lunar: Silver Star Story [Demo CD], the character originates from the quiet village of Burg as the adoptive sister of protagonist Alex. Her narrative arc serves as the emotional core of the RPG, culminating in her transformation into the Goddess Althena after her abduction by Ghaleon.

For the 16-bit sports title WWF Raw, the character's depiction utilized digitized graphics to capture her aggressive wrestling style and distinct punk-rock aesthetic, marking a rare female presence on the active roster of the era. In the puzzle genre, she appears within Bust-a-Move 3 DX and Bust-A-Move 99 as a whimsical opponent whom players must defeat by matching colored bubbles.

Koei's tactical role-playing game Saiyuki: Journey West incorporates a version of Luna inspired by Eastern folklore, aiding the party during their pilgrimage. Finally, in the PlayStation 2 release EyeToy: AntiGrav, she serves as a high-speed racer, requiring players to use physical body movements to guide her through complex aerial courses.
