SYMBOLOGY
HER SIGN, THE MOON
Yuna's character design is specifically geared towards the moon and the idea of night, in contrast with Tidus and his motifs of daylight and sunlight. Yuna's name is Okinawan for 'night' and the floral pattern on her skirt is the hibiscus, a nocturnal flower. Moonlight and the hours after sunset have been associated with the female in countless cultures. In the concept of yin and yang, yin is the dark half that symbolizes the woman and yang is the bright half, symbolizing the man. In other words, daylight belongs to the intelligence and leadership of the glorious male (HA HA) and the twilight belongs to the mystery of the female. Is Yuna mysterious, though? I suppose, in some ways, she certainly seems to be. Often she appears to be lost in thought, and more often than not she is serene and composed for someone who is traveling towards certain death. I think though that this contrast between day and night in terms of Tidus and Yuna is best expressed this way: the moon glows because it reflects the light of the sun. Tidus is the one whose voice tells the story, although it is just as much Yuna's story as his. She reflects his light. I don't take this to mean that Yuna is nothing without Tidus, or that she can't function without him…it's more that they complement each other.

One last thing about the moon motif would be the fact that Spira is a world of water. And what guides the ocean tides? The moon.
