When Luna first met Yusei she was catious about him, but later develops a hint of sisterly affection for him.

Biography

Luna lives together with her twin brother Luka in the Tops resident area, spending most of their time alone together as their parents are usually at work and are educated via the internet. A child prodigy, Luna has been dueling since she was three years old. Once, she lapsed into a coma right after a duel, and did not awaken for a month. Upon waking up, Luna claimed she had been to the Duel Spirit dimension. This claim would prove to be true; for that month Luna's mind lived among the Duel Spirits, under the protection of Ancient Fairy Dragon, one of the Five Dragons. Before waking up, Luna promised she would always be there to defend the Duel Spirits from evil. However, the pressure from undertaking such a task alone was too much and Luna had to forsake her promise, allowing the Duel Spirit dimension to fall to an unknown force.

By present time, she and Luka rescued Yusei from Trudge after she sensed him being captured by Security Officers, taking him to their home. Yusei attempts to leave so as not to get them involved, but the twins manage to get him to stay for the night. They awake the next morning to find that Yusei had left after modifying their Duel Disks to fit their arms. Although she knows that Yusei's reasons from leaving them, Luna starts developing an interest in him and commented that she would like to talk to him more.

Luna was selected as someone to participate in the Fortune Cup. However, not feeling like participating, Luka attempts to duel in her place. The next day, he entered the Fortune Cup disguised as Luna, but using Akutsu's Signer-detecting technology, Jeager was not only able to determine that Bommer dueled Luka instead of Luna, but also that his sister is a Signer. Luna faced off against Professor Frank due to Rex Godwin's consolation game but in the middle of the duel, both her and Luka are hypnotized. Luna's conscious self awakens in the World of Duel Monster Spirits, where she sees the degradation of the dimension and decides to uphold her promise from then on. When the Crimson Dragon appered in the middle of Yusei's match against Jack, the four Signers were shown a vision of Satellite being destroyed by a mysterious spider drawing. After Yusei's victory, Luna feel somewhat disturbed about the vision the Crimon Dragon showed them and talks to Yusei about it.
