Chibi Mothra
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Chibi Mothra (ちびモスラ Chibi Mosura) is a juvenile kaiju who first appeared in the 2019 children's book Close Friends, Chibi Godzilla. A moth with sparkling wings, Chibi Mothra is a close friend of Chibi Godzilla and his other friends. She appears in all three Chibi Godzilla picture books as well as the web anime I'm Home! Chibi Godzilla and the TV anime series Chibi Godzilla Raids Again.
Name
Chibi Mothra's name comes from placing chibi (ちび), a Japanese word meaning "little," in front of Mothra's name. The Shobijin address her by the nickname M (モスちゃん Mosu-chan, lit. "Ms. Moth").
Design
Chibi Mothra is a cream color while her wings are red with yellow spots. She has three pairs of legs, two feathery white antennae, big round eyes with blue pupils, and a yellow beak.
Personality
In the Chibi Godzilla children's books, Chibi Mothra has a gentle personality and is said to comfort Chibi Godzilla when he cries. She is a friend of Chibi Godzilla, Chibi Ghidorah, Chibi Rodan, Chibi Anguirus, and the Chibi Mechagodzilla Brothers.
In Chibi Godzilla Raids Again, Chibi Mothra is very shy around other monsters and typically only interacts with the more outgoing Shobijin sisters. Chibi Mothra has difficulty expressing herself through words and gets flustered by conversations with other monsters, and for this reason the Shobijin will sometimes try to "translate" for her, though their translations tend to comically misrepresent Chibi Mothra's feelings.
History

I'm Home! Chibi Godzilla
Chibi Mothra was a close friend of Chibi Godzilla. At Christmas, Chibi Godzilla enlisted Chibi Mothra's help to create "snow" for Satomi to enjoy outside of their apartment window, releasing sparkles of light as she flew. Chibi Mothra would also prove to be the most responsible of Chibi Godzilla's friends, telling Chibi Godzilla and Chibi Rodan to quiet down when she thought Satomi was working.
Chibi Godzilla Raids Again
"The Resplendent Maiden, Chibi Mothra"
While the Shobijin were showing Chibi Mothra how to apply makeup, Chibi Godzilla arrived to introduce Chibi Mechagodzilla to her. However, the Shobijin spoke for her, with Chibi Godzilla explaining that they shared a telepathic bond. Chibi Mechagodzilla quickly expressed doubt that the Shobijin were accurately conveying Chibi Mothra's thoughts and was quickly annoyed by how rude the Shobijin were. Speaking with Chibi Mothra directly, Chibi Mechagodzilla assured her that she was already cute just as she was and did not need the makeup, leaving her flustered. Seeing this, the Shobijin then pivoted to hook Chibi Mothra up on a date with Chibi Mechagodzilla, embarrassing Chibi Mothra to the point of tears and causing her to release her poisonous scales. Nevertheless, Chibi Mothra expressed that it was nice to meet Chibi Mechagodzilla as he was incapacitated by her scales.
"The Ruler of the Skies, Chibi Rodan"
Chibi Godzilla led Chibi Mechagodzilla and Chibi Mothra on a hike up a mountain in the hopes of speaking with his father. The group soon encountered the narcissistic Chibi Rodan, whose vanity quickly wore on Chibi Mechagodzilla. Though Chibi Rodan argued that he had the best wings, Chibi Mechagodzilla insisted that Chibi Mothra’s wings looked nicer, causing Chibi Rodan to plummet to the ground. Chibi Godzilla explained that Chibi Rodan would fall whenever he loses an argument and that he simply wanted to be liked while Chibi Mothra revitalized Chibi Rodan through shallow compliments, explaining that he perks up when girls praise him.
"Monster Study Session"
Chibi Godzilla taught a monster study session for the monsters of Monster Island. After Chibi Godzilla asked which foe had been hardest for Godzilla to defeat, Chibi Mothra suggested that it was himself because he may burn his mouth on his own atomic breath. Chibi Mechagodzilla dismissed this answer alongside the others' suggestions, only to discover that Chibi Godzilla's "real" answers to his questions were just as asinine, making him question whether or not this was a real class.

Books
Close Friends, Chibi Godzilla
When feeling lonely, Chibi Godzilla set out to look for friends, encountering Chibi Mothra along with Chibi Rodan, Chibi Anguirus, and Chibi Ghidorah. Chibi Godzilla remarked that Chibi Mothra's wings sparkled with light. When the other monsters asked what Chibi Godzilla could do, he responded saying he could breathe fire and exhaled a blast of fire at them, prompting them to flee. While running after them, Chibi Godzilla's fire breath caused fruit to fall out of a nearby tree. He asked the other monsters to share the fruit with him, and they all ate until they were full. Chibi Godzilla was no longer lonely as he befriended the other monsters.
