I don't usually analyze characters from series, movies or anime, but I think it is a very interesting element to learn more about those characters that somehow left something in us. As usual, the stories are largely focused on developing characters with different types of personality and backgrounds, I think the appeal of a protagonist lies in how it evolves as the story progresses and in the ability it may have to convey emotions and inspire us to follow and even admire it.
So today I will talk about Usagi Tsukino, known in Latin America by the name of Serena (a name that I really like) and it is interesting to mention this because previously the names of some characters used to be changed I guess to have greater receptivity or were easy to remember for the public, remember that not all Japanese names are easy to pronounce for those who are Spanish speakers, and well, in those years the anime did not have the popularity that today has, so it was important to take into account these details.

Among the characteristics that Usagi has, we initially see that she is the typical silly, indecisive and even lazy girl, something that is not necessarily negative, but actually makes her be very real regarding her age, let's remember that she is practically a teenager and as such we cannot expect her to have a mature or adult attitude, however, I must admit that many times I felt a little fed up with how indecisive she could become, it was desperate to see her not acting effectively in key moments when it was obvious that it was what she should do.
One of the things I loved about her was how loyal and good friend she could be, I think that is an aspect that aroused a lot of admiration from me and that made me take her as an example. I also found it very funny how stubborn she was, I think the moments I laughed the most watching Sailor Moon were when she showed her stubbornness, without a doubt that is a characteristic that made her very funny.

In short, I keep the kind and funny part of the character, I think those are the aspects that I like the most about her besides her ability to overcome her insecurities and weaknesses, we must contextualize that a girl of only 14 years old had to face evil forces and adversities that even for a very focused adult would be very complex, so if we see it from that point of view then we can only feel admiration for the way in which she was overcoming the problems and how she was evolving without losing her essence.
