Male Sun, Female Moon | comment |
In many cultures around the world, the sun has been associated with masculinity and the moon with femininity. The sun can be considered fierce, harsh, and blazing, traits usually seen as masculine, while the moon can be considered delicate, gentle, and beautiful, traits usually seen as feminine. Additionally, the moon goes through monthly cycles, while the sun rises every morning. Many ancient religions that worshipped the sun and moon personified them as gods and associated those traits with them. Perhaps, because of that, pairing a male character with a sun motif and a female character with a moon motif continues to be a common trope. A male character associated with the sun may be a fierce, strong yet warm-hearted fighter while a female character associated with the moon may be a beautiful Proper Lady with an air of mysteriousness and an aloof demeanour. Since the sun is a fiery ball of energy and the moon controls the tides, leading to association with fire and water, characters of this sort may also have fire and water (or fire and ice) powers to set them apart from each other. They may also have a contrasting color scheme where the male character wears warm colors and the female character wears cool colors, such as red and blue, orange and blue, black and white, or yellow and purple. This is not universal - in fact, throughout human culture as a whole, there are more examples of female suns and male moons than the other way around. The sun can be considered light-giving, warm, and nurturing, traits seen as feminine, where the moon can be seen as cold and distant, traits often seen as masculine. There are also several mythologies that did not assign a male/female gender dynamic to the sun and moon at all. However, some of the cultures which became most dominant (such as Classical Mythology) followed the male sun / female moon pattern, which leads to them being strongly represented in Western media, which often looks to those sources for inspiration. Sub-trope of Night and Day Duo. Related to Solar and Lunar, Cosmic Motifs, Light/Darkness Juxtaposition, Fire/Water Juxtaposition, Fire/Ice Duo, Fire Is Masculine, and Water Is Womanly. Compare The Face of the Sun and The Man in the Moon. List all inversions under Night and Day Duo. |

Digimon: While Digimon technically don't have genders, the Olympus XIII members Apollomon and Dianamon follow this trope; Apollomon is a male-looking warrior who wields The Power of the Sun, while Dianamon looks female, and her armor has a moon-based theme. | |

Monster Hunter: Silver Rathalos is known in the in-universe monster lore as "the silver sun", and like the other Rathalos species (red and azure) it's male. Gold Rathian, meanwhile, is given the tile of "the golden moon", and like the other Rathian species (brownish green and pink) it's female. Both monsters are classified as Rare Species (and were historically the first of this class to be discovered, long before the likes of Lucent Nargacuga and Abyssal Lagiacrus), and there are quests where you have to hunt both of them at once. | |

The Silmarillion: Inverted. After the Two Trees of Valinor are destroyed by Melkor and Ungoliant, their last remnants are placed in vessels which become the sun and moon. Two Maiar (essentially minor angels) are chosen to guide their paths through the sky; the female Arien guides the sun, while the male Tilion guides the moon. (This is also referenced lightheartedly in The Lord of the Rings, where the poem about The Man in the Moon has a female Sun come out in the final stanza.) | |

Both are Great Spirits of Light and are technically genderless, but Aska represents the sun's light and is traditionally perceived as masculine, while Luna represents the moon's light and takes the form of a young woman. | |

In Final Fantasy XIV, the Xaela of the Azim Steppe worship the Dawn Father Azim and the Dusk Mother Nhaama, the god of the sun and moon respectively. According to legend, Azim and Nhaama created the Au Ra as their soldiers to wage war over who would rule the new world until the Au Ra learned to set aside their differences and love each other. Similarly, Magnai, the current leader of the Oronir clan, believes himself the mortal incarnation of Azim. Meanwhile, Sadu, the leader of the Dotharl clan who favors Nhaama, is a woman in her present incarnation. | |

World of Warcraft: Night elves worship the moon goddess Elune and have a matriarchal society. Meanwhile, blood elves have a strong association with the sun (although their actual religion is very rarely discussed) and are largely patriarchal. Enforcing the contrast, night elves only have female guards in their cities while blood elves only have male, unlike every other race which has a mix. The Tauren also worship Elune under the name Mu'sha, but their mythology also honours her twin brother An'she, the sun. Tauren priests and paladins ('Sunwalkers') are said to draw their power from An'she, though it's left ambiguous if he's an actual entity or just how the Tauren view the Holy Light. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Katara is a girly-girl waterbender and her power becomes stronger under a full moon. At the end of Book 1, she faces off against Zuko after he infiltrates the Northern Water Tribe. He is a masculine firebender who draws strength from the sun. Katara initially has the upper hand, but Zuko is able to overpower her once the sun starts rising. The Sequel Series The Legend of Korra turns this on this head by having the light spirit Raava as female and the dark spirit Vaatu as male. While the latter is not outright associated with the moon, the former is implicitly associated with the sun as Korra in the Spirit World can make the sun brighter. |

However during 3rd Edition and earlier on there was no solar deity as such, at least human, in the setting as Amaunator was presumed to be dead, except for the people of the Anauroch desert who worshipped At'ar the Merciless, a female Sun deity. | |

The Amazing World of Gumball: In earlier seasons, the moon was male just for some throw-away jokes. As the series gained its identity and moved past the Early-Installment Weirdness, the moon was given a female identity who showed up across various episodes, most prominently in "The Love". It would revert back to male for one episode, "The Night", where the Moon narrated about the dreams of the citizens of Elmore (and annoyed them in the process for keeping them awake.) | |

In The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, one of the most well-known sidequests involves a couple who made a Childhood Marriage Promise to exchange masks on the day of the Carnival of Time, which was also to be their wedding day. Kafei, the groom, modeled his mask after the sun, while Anju, the bride, modeled hers after the moon. When the two masks are brought together, they turn into the Couple's Mask, which they give to Link as thanks for helping reunite them. | |

Pokémon Sun and Moon: Solgaleo and Lunala, associated respectively with the sun and moon, are said by the Pokédex to be the male and female evolutions of Cosmog. However, all three are genderless in-game. The male and female player are named Elio and Selene; Elio's name is taken from Helios, the Greek god of the sun, while Selene's is taken from Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon. |

Our Little Adventure: The sun and moon are brother and sister Physical Gods, respectively, who manifest in the sky above Manjulias. They grant Fire and Water magic to their respective followers but aren't otherwise particularly masculine or feminine in themselves or their religious organizations. | |

In Horizon Zero Dawn, the Carja people worship the sun as the God of Good- specifically, of life, law, and male dominance- and therefore assume that the matriarchal Nora tribe must worship (the Carja interpretation of) the moon, a cold, death-bringing goddess. This is partly because they live in a desert, where the temperature drops precipitously at night and the darkness makes it harder to see any machines creeping up on you. Sunlight may be hot, but at least it has benefits alongside its dangers. | |

Masquerade: The Sun and Moon here are portrayed as male and female respectively. The book kicks off with the Moon falling in love with the handsome Sun but being unable to approach him due to their natures in the sky. So she sends Jack Hare off with a gift to declare her intentions. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation. Inverted in "Masks" which has Masaka, an Evil Matriarch sun goddess, and her male rival Korgano, represented by the moon. The two are involved in a constant yet ritualistic stuggle for power. | |
