History Characters / FutariWaPrettyCure

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:After the Cures seemingly kill him in episode 24, he returns to the Garden of Light in the next episode in an even stronger, Zakenna-like form.]]

* CrossPoppingVeins: When he's exerting his psychic powers to their limit, Illkubo has visible veins on his forehead. [[spoiler:His second form has those veins constantly. Whether it's purely due to ThePowerOfHate, like he claims, or whether Zakenna got involved is unknown.]]

* IronicName: For a villain whose name contains the words for "madness" and "violence", as shown under NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast, Illkubo is always calm and [[AffablyEvil outwardly polite]].

'''Cure White:''' Jaaku King...?

[[caption-width-right:189:[[labelnote:Click here to see his third and final form (SPOILERS!)]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/illkubo_thirdform.png]][[/labelnote]]

The most powerful member of the Dark Five. He is the greatest threat the girls have to face during the first half of the series. After they finally defeat him, he returns as a stronger being who may be more than enough to finish off the Cures... He holds the purple Prism Stone.

* BenevolentBoss: He always steps in to stop infighting among the rest of the Dark Five, and even asks Poisony if she'll be alright after she suffers a couple of defeats. ([[{{Jerkass}} She still takes this personally, though.]])

* BlowYouAway: Like Pisard and Poisony, Illkubo has the power to stir up harsh winds, [[HandBlast often from his hands]]. In episode 19, he even descends to Earth in a brief dust storm.

* TheDragon: To Jaaku King. He's such a massive step-up from the QuirkyMinibossSquad that he pretty much ignores Pretty Cure during their first "battle", and utterly [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomps them]] when he decides to fight back in the second. At one point, he outright calls himself Jaaku King's "NumberTwo" in GratuitousEnglish.

* HandBlast: Can fire [[BlowYouAway gusts of wind]] from his palms just like his fellow Dark Five member, Poisony.
* HighVoltageDeath: He is finally killed when [[spoiler:he [[BadBoss incurs Jaaku King's wrath]] by preparing an attack so indiscriminate that it could damage the Prism Stones as well as Pretty Cure. It gets him a BoltOfDivineRetribution for his trouble]].

* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:He [[FusionDance fuses]] with [[MonstersOfTheWeek Zakenna]] to get stronger.]]

* UndyingLoyalty: If Illkubo has anything close to a redeeming quality,

* AffablyEvil: While he may be leader of the Dark Five and [[TheDragon the closest among them]] to Jaaku King, Illkubo is unfailingly polite and well-spoken, [[BenevolentBoss even to his subordinates]]. Even when he's saying things that would count as TrashTalk if said by Pisard or Poisony, he says them both calmly and [[CurbStompBattle completely honestly]]. [[spoiler:Repeated clashes with Nagisa and Honoka reveal [[BitchInSheepsClothing this is an act]].]]

* InvincibleVillain: Spends several episodes easily defeating the Pretty Cures while looking the Prism Stones, and no matter what they do they can't beat him. His initial defeat only happens because he managed to steal Prism Stones and their power was too much for him to control, and his ultimate death [[spoiler:ends up being from Jaaku King himself after it becomes apparent that he might destroy the Prism Stones]].

* StarPower: {{Inverted|Trope}}. When they're defeated, Zakennas will dissipate into tiny, harmless dark stars that say "Gomen na" ("sorry") instead of "Zakenna".

* AffablyEvil: While he may be leader of the Dark Five and [[TheDragon the closest among them]] to Jaaku King, Illkubo is unfailingly polite and well-spoken, [[BenevolentBoss even to his subordinates]]. Even when he's saying things that would count as TrashTalk if said by Pisard or Poisony, he says them both calmly and [[CurbStompBattle completely honestly]].

* AllYourPowersCombined: In episode 19, Illkubo uses the techniques of all the previous Dark Five members. He can [[VampiricDraining drain energy]] like Pisard and his Zakenna, has SuperStrength like Gekidrago, uses the same [[BlowYouAway wind]] attacks [[HandBlast from his hands]] as Poisony, and can protect himself with [[BarrierWarrior barriers]] like Kiriya.

* CrystalBall: His debut outing as the main enemy, episode 19, shows him using a purple crystal ball to [[VampiricDraining drain the life force]] of countless people and plants. [[spoiler:Mepple shatters it towards the end of the episode, and all the energy returns to Earth in the form of a somber but rejuvenating rain.]]

* TheDragon: To Jaaku King. He's such a massive step-up from the QuirkyMinibossSquad that he pretty much ignores Pretty Cure during their first "battle", and utterly [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomps them]] when he decides to fight back in the second.

* HeroKiller: He was very close to kill the Pretty Cures, but [[spoiler:Jaaku King just killed him before Illkubo could do it.]]

* NoSell: During his first battle with the Cures, he doesn't flinch at anything they do to him. He even takes the full brunt of the Cures' finisher and ''lives''.

* BrattyHalfPint: Pollun in ''Futari wa''. When he grows out of this in ''Max Heart'', Lulun fills the shoes.
* CreepyChild: Pollun will sometime see a vision and go into a trance, eyes empty and speak like BrokenRecord in CreepyMonotone about something being 'awakened'.

* RedBaron: "The Prince of Light" and the "Princess who weaves the future"

* TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects: She's animated in 3D which contrasts to everyone who are animated in 2D.
* BigGood: She's the Garden of Light's ruler who sent Mepple and Mipple to find the Pretty Cure possessing all the power to help them wherever she can against the Dark Zone and its denizens.

* BrattyHalfPint: When interacting with [[StarterVillain Pisard]] and [[DumbMuscle Gekidrago]], Kiriya seems to get a kick out of taunting them both.

* AllYourPowersCombined: In episode 19, Illkubo uses the techniques of all the previous Dark Five members. He can [[VampiricDraining drain energy]] like Pisard and his Zakenna, has SuperStrength like Gekidrago, uses the same [[BlowYouAway wind]] attacks [[HandBlast from his hands]] as Poisony, and can protect himself with [[BarrierWarrior barriers]] similar to Kiriya.

* BadBoss: Jaaku King has little patience for his subordinates' failures, notably threatening to ''[[YouHaveFailedMe kill]]'' Pisard after one too many slip-ups. [[spoiler:Killing Illkubo, who is about to ''kill'' the Pretty Cures, for just a stupid reason says enough.]]

* OrcusOnHisThrone: He can't move his location in the Dotsuku Zone without the Power of Creation, [[spoiler:though as the Seeds of Destruction found out, he call pull other things into the Dotsuku Zone.]]
* PowerIncontinence: [[spoiler:Jaaku King's almighty Power of Darkness will eventually consume ''him'', too, which he has no control over. This is part of the reason why he wants the Prism Stones, as he could very well die without them.]]
* PurpleIsPowerful: He resembles a giant with dark purple skin, and is the ultimate BigBad of the anime.

* HumanityIsInfectious: Kiriya struggles to understand human emotions and values, but [[spoiler:learning about them through Honoka eventually leads him to discover some of those qualities in himself, as shown when he spares her life by way of VillainousRescue in episode 17]].

* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:Kiriya is deeply shaken by Poisony's death and lets out a loud HowlOfSorrow. Now feeling completely TrappedInVillainy, he reveals his true identity to the Cures and tries desperately to defeat them, only to stay his hand and [[HeelFaceTurn give up his Prism Stone willingly]] at the cost of his life.]]

* DatingCatwoman: Honoka has a crush on him.

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Gives up his Prism Stone to the Pretty Cures, knowing the Dotsuku Zone would force him to return to darkness as punishment. He accepts this penalty [[FaceDeathWithDignity with utmost dignity]].]]

* NominalVillain: Kiriya might ''technically'' be on the villains' side in the fight to claim every single Prism Stone, but he's [[TokenGoodTeammate the most sympathetic among them]], and his character arc leaves him totally baffled over his duty to Jaaku King. [[spoiler:He cares so deeply for Cure White that when he tries to [[SiblingTeam fight by his sister's side]], he can't bring himself to actually do anything evil and ends up ''saving'' the Cures from certain doom twice over. He's only a "villain" by affiliation -- his actions are otherwise heroic ([[NoSocialSkills well, mostly]]).]]

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Well, not really, but it sure seemed so...
* ShipTease: Several times with Honoka.

* VillainousBreakdown: He cries ''loud'' when Poisony dies.
* VillainousCrush: Is implied, [[spoiler:and later all but stated outright]], to have developed a crush on Honoka.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: As heartless as she is, Poisony is outright ''frightened'' when she sees the effects of Illkubo's light-sapping CrystalBall in action.

-->'''Poisony:''' That's not like you, is it [[spoiler:Kiriya]]? Full of chances to strike... If I felt so inclined, you know, you would lose your life.

* WiseBeyondHisYears:

* TheDreaded: Even Poisony, a [[NoNonsenseNemesis merciless]] and cold-hearted [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bitch]], is visibly frightened at the effects of Illkubo's CrystalBall.

* CurbStompBattle:

[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/baldez_dark_king_final_form.png]]

The ultimate evil and the biggest threat in the entire series. He's the ruler of the Dotsuku Zone and owns its Power of Destruction. Ironically, it destroys himself, too, which is why he wants the Power of Creation to survive. He and his minions invade the Garden of Light and steal five of the seven Prism Stones that contain the Power of Creation. After being defeated twice in the first season, he stays "somehow" dead for almost the entire second season. The Shiten'ou try to resurrect him for the second time. Hikaru is his "life," while his other part is Baldez.

* ApocalypseMaiden: His mere existence releases the power of destruction which will destroy everything around him, and eventually ''even him'' unless he takes the power of creation.

* AsYouKnow: He ''loves'' to remind his minions that the Prism Stones will make him immortal.

* BigBad: He's the being who opposes the Pretty Cure's efforts to save the world, wanting to obtain the Power of Creation to ensure his own survival and plunge the world into darkness.

* EldritchAbomination: [[spoiler:He's the personification of destruction]].

* ImmortalitySeeker: Jaaku King wants his hands on the Prism Stones so he can achieve immortality, allowing him to shroud the entire universe in the Dotsuku Zone's darkness.

* NotSoDifferentRemark: [[spoiler: The Queen said that they have only one difference, to believe in the future or to control the future.]]
* OmnicidalManiac: His only concern is making sure the Power of Destruction doesn't kill him, he's perfectly fine to let it destroy everything else.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: One of her only sympathetic qualities is her familial relationship with her little brother Kiriya, whom she is initially reluctant to let battle with the Cures. [[spoiler:That said, she warns Kiriya in episode 17 that [[IfIWantedYouDead if she so desired]], she could easily kill him.]]

* TheGadfly: Poisony's sibling bond with Kiriya is revealed when a large, talking dog walks up to him at the train station, then transforms into her; she seemingly transformed into one just for the hell of it.

* IfIWantedYouDead: Episode 17 has her giving a variation to [[spoiler:her little brother Kiriya, whom she suspects is [[CuriosityCausesConversion getting a little too chummy]] with the Cures]].
-->'''Poisony:''' That's not like you, is it [[spoiler:Kiriya]]? Full of weaknesses... If I felt so inclined, you know, you would lose your life.

* KickTheDog: Like Pisard, she frequently endangers innocent civilians and sometimes goes as far as brainwashing or even having Zakenna possess them en masse. For example, in episode 14, Poisony uses her MindControl on Kyouko and Natsuko, whom she forces to attack the Cures in a MirrorMatch; during the fight, she employs several dirty tricks like having them attempt PsychicAssistedSuicide as bait to lure the Cures to the edge, and once she has all four girls backed into a corner by construction-equipment Zakennas, she taunts them. [[spoiler:She even threatens her brother, Kiriya, on one occasion.]]

* PetTheDog: In her own way, she truly cares about her brother Kiriya. [[spoiler:She's not above [[IfIWantedYouDead threatening him]], though whether she would actually go through with it remains unknown.]]

* TheSociopath: Poisony is a cold-hearted, ruthless enemy who relies on [[ManipulativeBitch manipulating whomever she can]] so she can get the Prism Stones, carries herself pridefully, and is surprisingly easy to frustrate when things go wrong for her. She does have a close sibling bond with Kiriya, but she frequently [[TheGadfly teases him for fun]] [[spoiler:and makes it clear [[IfIWantedYouDead on one occasion]] that she wouldn't hesitate to kill him if he became a threat to Jaaku King's plans]].

* WakeUpCallBoss: Poisony is much savvier than Pisard and Gekidrago, who were prone to making serious mistakes out of [[TooDumbToLive stupidity]]. She gives the Cures such a hard time that [[NearVillainVictory she nearly wins on a few occasions]], and it takes eight episodes to bring her down (Pisard took five, and Gekidrago took six).

The youngest member of the Dark Five; a teenage boy who appears younger than the heroines and goes undercover as a first year student in Verona Middle School. He develops a romantic relationship with Honoka aka Cure White, that's why he's confused about his feelings towards Honoka and his duty as an inhabitant of the Dotsuku Zone. He may have to battle not just the Pretty Cure, but also his own convictions as a result... He holds the yellow Prism Stone on his necklace.

* AntiVillain: He's definitely working for the villains in their goal to claim every single Prism Stone for Jaaku King, but he's also the most sympathetic among them, often bonding with Honoka and trying to comprehend human emotions. This leaves him baffled over his duty to the evil king.

* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: A defining part of his character is his struggle to understand human emotions, him being from a race of AlwaysChaoticEvil creatures.

The most powerful member of the Dark Five. He is the greatest threat the girls have to face during the first half of the series. After they finally defeats him he returns as a stronger being who may be more than enough to finish off the Cures... He holds the purple Prism Stone.

* KnightOfCerebus: While the other generals of the Dark Five were already big threats, this one proves to be far more effective at engaging the Pretty Cure. He's able to NoSell anything they do in their first encounter and even tries to destroy them later on.

* WakeUpCallBoss: He is much tougher than the previous foes the Precure faced and those that come after him prove to be equally tough.

The only female member of the Dark Five and she uses several tricks to steal the Prism Stone. She's also Kiriya's older sister. She keeps the orange Prism Stone in her necklace.

-->'''Poisony:''' In this world, here's what's important -- intelligence, strength, and above all, [[TaughtByExperience experience]]! Only after you've accumulated survival experience on the battlefield can you become an adult. With luck and courage alone, you ''definitely'' aren't gonna win against an adult. In other words, you two have not one basis or reason you can win against me, Poisony!

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Her only sympathetic quality is her familial relationship with her little brother Kiriya, whom she is initially reluctant to let battle with the Cures. [[spoiler:That said, she warns Kiriya in episode 17 that [[IfIWantedYouDead if she so desired]], she could easily kill him.]]

* BlowYouAway: Once her true nature is revealed in episode 12, she shows the ability to buffet people with gusts of wind [[HandBlast from her hands]].

* DanceBattler: Her personal fighting style resembles a murderous ballet dance, complete with SpectacularSpinning pirouette attacks.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Her only sympathetic quality is her familial relationship with her little brother Kiriya. [[spoiler:That said, she warns Kiriya in episode 17 that if she so desired, [[SiblingMurder she could easily kill him]].]]
* EveryoneHasStandards: She doesn't like Pisard because, as per her own description, he tends to "[[{{Sadist}} indulge]]" in his spellcasting rather than use strategy.

* FieryRedhead: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Poisony is normally fairly cool and collected... as long as things are going her way. When they're not, she has a rather short temper.

* OneWomanWail: [[spoiler:Actually, it's more like One Little Brother Wail, but the feeling is the same.]]
* PetTheDog: In her own way, she truly cares about her brother Kiriya.

* PrehensileHair: She has this in her final episode when she decides to finally fight the Cures without using any tricks or Zakennas.

* TeleportCloak: When she sees the Cures preparing a Marble Screw at the end of episode 14, she retreats into her cape and teleports away.
* TemptingFate: Her last words are pointing out the Cures cannot hit her with the Marble Screw while she's got them restrained. It ends up going through her hair and killing her.

* NoNonsenseNemesis: Poisony is an intelligent [[ManipulativeBastard master manipulator]] who, in her debut appearance, sizes up the Cures from afar before weaponizing her shapeshifting abilities, which lets her easily trick them into giving the Prism Stones away. When questioned, she ''immediately'' reveals she'd used Zakennas to brainwash everyone in the town square, and the heroes are surrounded. Rather than risk a direct confrontation, Poisony simply disappears during the TransformationSequence, [[{{Intangibility}} vanishes into a nearby wall]], or uses her TeleportCloak to escape.

* CreepyBlueEyes: He's a mostly emotionless denizen of the Dotsuku Zone with blue eyes to add to his villainy.

* EmotionlessBoy: Most of the time he's shown with a cold look on his face.

* KickTheDog: Tears a love letter in pieces which is given by a girl who likes him. When Honoka hears about that, she scolds him for that, and [[spoiler:he eventually apologizes to the girl. In his case, it makes sense, since he has his heart set on Honoka.]]

* NoSocialSkills: Best showcased in Episode 18, where he jumps in place a couple of times for no particular reason before playing soccer, dives under another player and gets fouled for unnecessary roughness, and coldly rejects Seiko Taniguchi's LoveConfession because he has no idea what to do in that situation.

* VillainousCrush: Is implied to have developed a crush on Honoka.
* VillainousRescue: [[spoiler:In episode 17, his first actual fight against the Cures [[SiblingTeam alongside Poisony]], he drops his guard and allows Cure Black to reunite with Cure White so his sister won't hurt Honoka.]]

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Her only sympathetic quality is her familial relationship with her little brother Kiriya. [[spoiler:That said, she warns Kiriya in episode 7 that if she so desired, [[SiblingMurder she could easily kill him]].]]

* HughMann: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. His disguise isn't the problem, but he says some rather strange things about humanity even while posing as a normal person.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Her single most sympathetic quality is her familial relationship with her little brother Kiriya.

* KickTheDog: Like Pisard, she frequently endangers innocent civilians and sometimes goes as far as brainwashing or even having Zakenna possess them en masse. For example, in episode 14, Poisony uses her MindControl on Kyouko and Natsuko, whom she forces to attack the Cures in a MirrorMatch; during the fight, she employs several dirty tricks like having them attempt PsychicAssistedSuicide as bait to lure the Cures to the edge, and once she has all four girls backed into a corner by construction-equipment Zakennas, she taunts them.

* SiblingTeam: Forms one with her younger brother, Kiriya; she does most of the evil planning, while Kiriya poses as an ordinary seventh-grader and follows the Cures around as a sort of scout.

* BigJerkOnCampus: Amasses quite the following when he scores against Fujipi, a third-year, as a first-year. The "Jerk" part comes in because he's secretly one of the Dark Five.

* CreepyBlueEyes: He's a mostly emotionless denizen of the Dotsoku Zone with blue eyes to add to his villainy.

* SiblingTeam: Forms one with his older sister, Poisony. She's the brains of the operation, while Kiriya attends school as a first-year student and follows the Cures around when he can.

* BigCreepyCrawlies: In Episode 15 Poisony created a worm and a centipede Zakenna.

* DirtyCoward: In episode 4, Pisard uses the [[TakenForGranite petrified bodies]] of all the people in the art museum as a HumanShield, which Cure Black outright calls out as cowardly. It's also implied that part of the reason he's following Jaaku King's orders is to save his own skin.

* KickTheDog: Frequently endangers civilians' lives in his schemes, such as causing an elevator loaded with people to plummet to the ground and holding a {{brainwashed}} Yoshimi-sensei hostage and then [[PsychicAssistedSuicide trying to make her walk off a ceiling beam]] while the Cures are distracted. In his nastiest action of all, Pisard turns the Cures' entire class and several other museum visitors [[TakenForGranite into statues]], then levitates all the bodies into a tornado... all to use as a HumanShield, when he's more than a match for the Cures on his own.
* KneelBeforeZod: Commands the Cures to bow before Jaaku King in episode 5, as the Garden of Rainbows only exists to be consumed by the Dotsuku Zone. This as he's enduring a Marble Screw, which only encourages the Cures to strengthen the attack more.

* VillainRespect: {{Subverted|Trope}}. He calls Nagisa an "admirable girl" for stepping in to protect Honoka in episode 5, but as the ensuing battle continues, Pisard derides them both as hypocrites for calling him out even though they just want to protect themselves. Just before he dies, he proclaims that they'd better just bow down to Jaaku King, as they only exist to be consumed by him and the Dotsuku Zone. It's safe to assume that whatever respect Pisard might have had no longer exists.

The second of the Dotsuku Zone's "Dark Five" fought by the Cures. Gekidrago is very much the stereotypical brute of the group, mainly relying on his raw strength instead of intelligence. However, he uses [[MonstersOfTheWeek Zakennas]] in very creative ways despite his stupidity, forcing Nagisa and Honoka to rely on all-new techniques to save the day.

The only female member of the Dark Five and she uses several tricks to steal the Prism Stone. She's also Kiriya's older sister.

* ShapeshiftingTrickster: Poisony is a shapeshifter and a ManipulativeBitch ''par excellence''. In episode 13, she even uses her shapeshifting to play a prank on Kiriya.

* TrashTalk: Prone to taunting the Cures during her confrontations with them.

The youngest member of the Dark Five; a teenage boy who appears younger than the heroines and goes undercover as a first year student in Verona Middle School. He develops a romantic relationship with Honoka aka Cure White, that's why he's confused about his feelings towards Honoka and his duty as an inhabitant of the Dotsuku Zone. He may have to battle not just the Pretty Cure, but also his own convictions as a result...

The most powerful member of the Dark Five. He is the greatest threat the girls have to face during the first half of the series. After they finally defeats him he returns as a stronger being who may be more than enough to finish off the Cures...

* CosplayOtakuGirl: Implied -- they certainly seem to enjoy dressing up as Pretty Cure. Later on, they're in charge of dressing the leads for the class play in both the first and second seasons; when Honoka (remembering the episode 14 incident) says they have a gift for costuming, the pair react with embarrassment and frantically shush her. And in ''Max Heart'', they dress up in period costumes -- which they made themselves and smuggled in with their luggage -- during the class trip to an Edo-era village.
* CostumeCopycat: After catching a glimpse of Cure White and Cure Black, they start dressing up as them to entertain some local elementary school kids. Since the real Pretty Cure are unknown to the public, there is no real issue with mistaken identity, although Honoka and Nagisa worry that they might attract the villains' attention. [[spoiler:They do -- the villains aren't actually fooled, but decide they'd be useful tools to try and get at the real Pretty Cure.]]

* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: When they are under Poisony's control, their eyes do dark, dead, and empty.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: She can cause other people to do her bidding with a spell.

* HandBlast: One of her abilities in combat, as shown in episode 12, is to shoot [[BlowYouAway harsh winds]] from her palms.
* KickTheDog: She does this several times (mostly by brainwashing or otherwise hurting innocent civilians), most notably when she gets Nagisa and Honoka's schoolmates Kyouko and Natsuko BrainwashedAndCrazy in Episode 14; she not only mind-controls them into believing they are the Cures, but also into either attacking the real Cures or deliberately putting themelves in danger so Honoka and Nagisa would get distracted in battle trying to save them.

* NoNonsenseNemesis: Poisony is an intelligent [[ManipulativeBastard master manipulator]] who, in her debut appearance, sizes up the Cures from afar before weaponizing her shapeshifting abilities, which lets her easily trick them into giving the Prism Stones away. When questioned, she ''immediately'' reveals she'd used Zakennas to brainwash everyone in the town square, and the heroes are surrounded. Rather than risk a direct confrontation, Poisony simply flees during the TransformationSequence or [[{{Intangibility}} vanishes into a nearby wall]].
* NonIndicativeName: Her name is '''Poison'''y, but none of her many abilities are poison-related.

* DumbMuscle: Although he has a large and intimidating stature, Uraganos is extremely stupid. He is clumsy and tends to destroy things by accident due to his size and strength.

* NeverMessWithGranny: She's old and sweet, yet she managed to talk down another old lady masquerading as her.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Things possessed by Zakenna will become much more violent and try to kill the Cures, even if they never were before. Humorously {{subverted|Trope}} with the Vice Principal in episode 7; while in Zakenna form, he briefly lunges with his pointer... and then he starts to [[JadedProfessional rant about how much he hates his job]]. That's all he does.

* PokemonSpeak: Can only cry their own name.

* HandBlast: One of her abilities in combat, as shown in episode 12.

* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: She's the only prominent student who wears glasses, and she seems to be the smartest member of the science club after Honoka.

* ShapeshiftingSeducer: Non-sexual example. Episode 12 has Poisony using her analysis of the girls to transform herself into a tailor-made disguise that will totally drop their guard and let her take the Prism Stones. In Nagisa's case, it's a young chocolate saleswoman; in Honoka's, it's an older woman similar to her grandmother Sanae.

* PaperThinDisguise: Just changing his eye color and he looks like a normal boy. However, because the girls don't know him before he entered their school, they believe he's human until he reveals himself.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Subverted. His human disguise has just brown, normal eyes.

* BoringButPractical: In early appearances, Pisard relies on various {{zany scheme}}s to get his hands on the Prism Stones, like causing widespread blackouts to lure out the Cures, disguising himself as a student teacher so he can MindControl the Cures' teacher into bringing them to him, and trying to turn everyone in the Cures' class to stone. The last plan he tries, and his most successful one, is simply lying in wait until Honoka is alone before chasing her into a corner. If he wasn't arrogant enough to let them transform anyway, [[NearVillainVictory he would have won]].

* KickTheDog: She does this several times (mostly by brainwashing or otherwise hurting innocent civilians), most notably when she gets Nagisa and Honoka's schoolmates Kyouko and Natsuko BrainwashedAndCrazy in Episode 14: she not only mind-controls them into believing they are the Cures, but also into either attacking the real Cures or deliberately putting themelves in danger so Honoka and Nagisa would get distracted in battle trying to save them.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: She can transform into every person she wants, from Honoka to old men.

* DubNameChange: She's named Natalie Blackstone in the English version.

* GirlsLoveChocolate: Nagisa really loves chocolate. Literally in the first episode of Max Heart she mentions that her goal for her new year is to "eat all the chocolate that comes her way."

* DubNameChange: She's named Hannah Whitehouse in the English version.

* RetGone: Everybody whose LockedOutOfTheLoop forgets she ever existed when she's kidnapped by the Shiten'ou.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Normally very kind and sweet, but when she learns that Mepple dropped the Prism Hopeish in episode 6, she starts yelling at him. {{Justified|Trope}}, since it's vital to their mission.
