User blog:AustinDR/Character Retrospect: Luna

And here's the punk star herself, Luna Loud. Honestly, there's not much I can say about her. Actually, that's a lie, there is. Luna Loud is the third eldest sister of the Loud kids, as well as the roommate of comedian Luan Loud. She is a whiz at nearly every instrument known to man, though she's hardly ever seen without her trademark electric guitar, she's confident, and generally laid-back. Really, out of all of the sisters, Luna catches my interest to the point that if I had an older sister, I would most certainly want her to be like Luna.

It's hard to say what I like the most about Luna. For instance, I love her design. Something about it stands out to me when you compare it to the other girls. In addition, she comes off as one of the nicer sisters. While not necessarily the closest to Lincoln, I always find myself engaged whenever they are bonding. Case in point, "For Bros About to Rock." Sure, she unintentionally ruined her sisters' first concerts, but I never felt that there was any malice behind it. it helps knowing that part of the reason as to why she's so obsessed with making her siblings' first concert memorable is because she discovered herself whilst attending a Mick Swagger concert. Besides that, she also comes off as one of the more level-headed in comparison to the other sisters. Granted, she does have her moments where she's too in the moment. Take "Changing the Baby" where she nearly crushes Lily when she does a stage dive off the bunker bed. Thankfully, Lily was saved from being flattened, but still.

One aspect of her character is the fact that she is obsessed with Mick Swagger, who is an obvious nod to Mick Jagger. Sometimes her fanaticism tends to clot her judgments. Take "House Music" wherein Luna learns that Mick was to attend the Family Fun Fair, looking for young talent. Needless to say, she goes out of her way to make herself look good at the cost of forgetting what her idol always said about music wasn't about acquiring fame, but having fun (or something like that). She treats her siblings like garbage as she oversees them, and even makes her dad when she kicked him out of the band despite the fact that she knew that he was kicked out of another band years ago. I would call this Luna's worst moment, had it not have been for the fact that she realizes that she was wrong to act like this to her family, thus receiving some character development. As such, I can't hardly think of one episode where Luna was unlikable. Well, besides that one episode, that is.

Overall, I love this character. She is cool, friendly, and I always find myself rocking out whenever she jams on her guitar. She very much earns the #3 spot for my list.
