   You have to remember how fragile Chibi-Usa is underneath her outgoing   
   disposition. Things are never as obvious as assuming a character is happy just   
   because they have a pink design. It's exactly because of this vulnerability   
   that Chibi-Usa could bond    
   with Hotaru and understand her loneliness.   
   And Hotaru in return, even underneath the damage Mistress 9 had done to her   
   life and body, actually proved very outgoing and found the strength to protect   
   Chibi-Usa.   
      
   Hotaru isn't so much dark as she is stoic and serious. You can't judge the   
   character the way she was in the Infinity arc, because... well, she had an   
   alien parasite inside of her. Anyone would seem melancholy in a situation like   
   that, wouldn't they?    
   But Hotaru's stoic nature is something Chibi-Usa can relate to, as she, in   
   general, has a more mature and serious personality than her mother.   
   Her being Usagi's daughter might make people overstate Chibi-Usa's   
   cheerfulness, but she is actually very introvert as evidenced in the Black   
   Moon arc and the Queen Nehelennia arc.   
   The reason they are such good friends is that neither of them leans one way   
   when it comes to personality.   
   Chibi-Usa is a little more open and Hotaru is a little more focused, but   
   underneath that they are actually very much alike.   
   And it is because they can relate to the more introspective aspects of each   
   other's personality that they feel free to lose their inhibitions and feel   
   cheerful when they are together.
