Luna Tachibana is a former student and teacher of Beacon Academy before its fall, and the current chief of Akai Bara, his hometown. He is a former member of Team VNLA, whom he is still in contact with.

Appearance
Luna appears taller than his teammates standing at 6 feet, having long graying hair with a full beard and a scar on his left eye, and has dark brown eyebrows. He is physically fit with a mesomorph body type, and is a strong man whose able to hold his own in a fight.

His outfit consists of an all-white undershirt and under-armour, white vambraces and a dark red cape with black and gold-ish lining. His pants are also white and has a black belt with both having gold-ish lining as well as wearing white greaves with gold-ish lining, his boots are black with white lining, his emblem is printed onto the right and left side of his right and left boot, respectively. In addition, he had a dark red armour piece on his right shoulder with the left having a large pauldron, showing position as chief of Akai Bara.

Personality
Luna Tachibana is typically rather calm and supportive in most situations which is evident during his years as a teacher at Beacon Academy where he was able to comfort one of his students who had been having a hard time. He's also seen to be caring towards those he meets, and is sometimes recognized as a "caretaker" and "grandfather" by those he has comforted as well as being an honest person about the things he's done. Aside however from his humble characteristics, he can also be very strict and violent in tense situations, but can still control his emotions.

Most of these characteristics are often described by his teammates, claiming that while Luna is caring, he's also very strict and sometimes violent.

Early life
In his early life, Luna and his little sister Nyan were trained by their father Snow Tachibana outside of the village in order to protect themselves against the smaller Grimm that occasionally attacked the village, and were sometimes considered part of its security force.

During training, Luna and Nyan fought side-by-side, incorporating each other's moves together in sync, and sometimes always finishing off with a joint effort.

Chief of Akai Bara
Upon the death of his father, Luna became the chief of Akai Bara which also meant that team VNLA would be without its L. However, he was eventually replaced by Lisa Dahlia. As the chief of Akai Bara, he replaced his left shoulder piece with a pauldron worn by Snow and officially identified him as the Chief.

During the years as Chief, he dealt with the occasional bandits and Grimm that preyed on the village. The first thing Luna did as chief was creating a statue of his father in memory, placing it at the village's main courtyard.

Weapons and Semblance

 * Moonlight
 * Moonlight is Luna's signature weapon. It appears as a staff but with a katana concealed within. Luna primarily uses Moonlight as a walking staff for traveling great distances and pulls out the katana for combat situations and dealing with Grimm.


 * Solar of the Moon
 * Solar of the Moon is Luna's secondary weapon that is always seen holstered onto Luna's belt, and only ever uses the sidearm against opponents wielding weapons.

Despite having years of combat experience and training, Luna has never discovered or unlocked his Semblance, unlike all members of VNLA who have. He is always told by his sister Nyan that he would probably one day discover his Semblance.
