Nevertheless, both names can translate to Selenity, since in Japanese the r and l are interchangeable. This would explain the absence of the Princess' father from the story, and still fit mythologically. Queen Serenity could possibly be modeled after the Moon queen of the Chinese fairytale who lived alone on the Moon without her husband, seeing him only occasionally. It also symbolizes the soul, eternity, and immortality. For many cultures, the Moon is a feminine symbol. The color white is symbolic of the Moon and Diana, as well as the metal silver. The power associated with the Moon and deity Selene was enchantment. She has been pictured as a beautiful young girl wearing a long white gown with wings, a golden diadem, and having long white hair.
Selene was the Greek goddess of the Moon. She paused only to kiss her lover Endymion (the setting sun). Once her brother finished his journey across the sky, it was Selene's turn to pull her chariot across the heavens. She was the daughter of Hyperion and Theia, and sister to Eos and Helios. Her name is from the Greek for light, radiance, and brightness. Sailor Cosmos' name comes from the Greek kosmos meaning universe. Her main power is to purify (Moon Healing Escalation) since the power of the Moon is purity, also enchantment. Usagi/Princess and Neo-Queen Serenity are based on the goddess Selene.
