The Moon. Cold and distant, alone and lifeless... yet, it's the only celestial body whose light can pierce the pitch black night. So when a character is shown moon gazing, it means he or she shares many of these lunar traits: they are isolated and introspective, melancholy... yet oddly hopeful. All this just by having them look quietly at the moon, or using it as a big old backdrop. He or she may have a Tragic Dream, have suffered a Dark and Troubled Past, or have embarked on some new quest that promises to change their life. The trope is also frequently used in love songs.

Can overlap with Weird Moon, often to emphasize the moon. In this case, the moment is used both to establish the world and the character. Contrast Watching the Sunset and Cue the Sun.
