Etymology and context

Moonlight is the light that reaches Earth from the Moon, consisting mostly of sunlight, with some starlight and earthlight reflected from those portions of its surface which the Sun's light strikes. Its name in Japanese is part of an often used aesthetic and naming theme of the moon in relation with ninja. In the context of Final Fantasy IX, it refers to the twin moons, the blue moon shining more brightly than the red.
