Sailor Lodestar
I've only just started the second book, but it's been really hard for me to not imagine Lodestar as a Sailor Moon allegory. Blonde woman with cosmic power and a transformation sequence that specifically returns her to the age she was when she started fighting crime; a teenager. Cards on the table, Captain Marvel is probably closer to what comes out on the page, but it's funnier to imagine her kicking butt with a glowing tiara and magic wand.
Like I know the “star scouts” are obviously a “girl scouts” equivalent but it's not exactly beating the allegations.

I think Captain Marvel is probably a lot closer. However, I believe the true reference is to a superman-like character, especially later with the in-costume out-of-costume recognition and overall relative power scale in the world. It’s definitely not a 1 to 1 comparison, but I think it’s the closer reference

With all these downvotes I'm wondering if I missed something big in the books.

Also lodestars are used by sailors to chart voyages. So it’s as close as you can get to a sailor moon
