10!!!Alana Fuki/Cure Sweet
11
12The first Pretty Cure in the season, and the main character. To her friends, she's seemingly good at everything, though this isn't true.
13* DubNameChange: Played with. The hypothetical English dub does change her nickname to Laney, but her real name is kept as Alana.
14* TheAce: Can sing so well she made it in to an all-state honor choir twice, can bake many desserts from scratch, is very pretty, has great grades in all of her classes and is incredibly sweet.
15** Madoka has a secret hatred of her for this, and Douleur cites it as one of the reasons why Desire was able to be corrupted.
16*** MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When she learns about the secret jealousy that [[spoiler:corrupted Madoka]]
17*** JackOfAllTrades
18* ElegantClassicalMusician: In addition to her beautiful singing voice, she also plays the piano very well.
19* FeminineWomenCanCook: Her specialty is baked goods, but it still counts.
20* DarkFeminineLightFeminine: The light to Madoka's dark.
21* TheDitz: Due to her occasional obliviousness to the obvious, she can show shades of this sometimes.
22* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Has blonde hair in civilian form, and is the nicest of the Pretty Cure.
23* TheHeart: Has control over the power of love, as well as probably the kindest on the team.
24* TheLeader: The main character of the season, and the pink cure, so of course she's the de-facto leader of the team.
25* NiceGirl: Even more so than the other members of the team.
26* ObliviousToHints: While they fight each other for the first time, She ignores the fact that Dark Desire looks a lot like [[spoiler:Madoka]], still being surprised when it's revealed.
27* PinkMeansFeminine: The pink Pretty Cure, who loves to bake sweets and sing. The fact that she's proven good at both only emphasizes this.
28* RoseHairedSweetie: In Cure form her hair styles into a long pink ponytail, and she gains the power of Heart. As her Cure name suggests, she is also a very nice person.
29* InnocentBlueEyes: Has blue eyes in civillian form, and is considered the nicest cure on the team.
30* WideEyedIdealist: In Episode 5, after she returns from fighting Dark Desire for the first time, she says that even though Desire has been taken by the Negative, she's still a Pretty Cure, so she's still a friend in Alana's eyes.
31* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Is the girly girl to Kaede's tomboy.
32* CoolBigSis: To her two younger twin sisters, Eri and Chihaya. In fact, the first interaction she's seen having with them is in Episode 1, when she's breaking up a disagreement between them.
33* AllLovingHero: Even after Dark Desire had caused her all the emotional turmoil she went through, Alana was more than willing to fight along side her instead of pushing her away.
34* BewareTheNiceOnes: In Episode 6, after she finds out that Bobble's been keeping a very important secret from her, she gives him an evil eye strong enough to scare him into telling the truth.
35* JackOfAllTrades: She knows how to bake, sing, play the piano, public speak....
36* ThePowerOfLove: She controls love and hearts in Pretty Cure form.
37!!!Kaede Roumaru/Cure Courage

39
40* DubNameChange: In the English dub, Glitter Force Friends, her name is now Katie.
41* ActionGirl: Plays several sports (Basketball, soccer, lacrosse, and track and field, just to name a few) and the most into physical combat on the team.
42* BookDumb: Downplayed. She tends to forget a lot of things about classes, but does have decent grades.
43* BoyishShortHair: Though it grows in Cure form, in civilian form, it's like this, and she is the most masculine of the group.
44* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
45* HugeSchoolgirl: Noticeably taller than anyone else on the team.
46* ObliviousToHints: It takes her a while to get jokes and catch on to conversations.
47* ObsessedWithFood: Justified. She is an athlete who plays several sports, and therefore needs all the calories she can get.
48* RummageSaleReject: Downplayed: Dresses like this a lot, though, it's not usually that bad.
49* ShockAndAwe: In addition to having the power of courage, she also has powers over thunder and lightning
50* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Is in Choir, but mostly prefers sports.
51* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Is the blue tomboy to Alana's pink girly girl.
52* PassionateSportsGirl
53* RedOniBlueOni: Amusingly enough, she is the ''red'' oni. She is the red to Chika's blue.
54* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Tends to do this a lot.
55* {{Crossdresser}}: When she gets cast as the prince in the school play, Sleeping Beauty.
56
57!!!Chika Amagawa/Cure Wisdom
58The third Cure, Chika is a very smart girl, who when transformed, transforms into Cure Wisdom.
59* DubNameChange: In Glitter Force Friends, her name is changed to Charlotte, and her alter ego is changed into Glitter Smarts
60* AcademicAthlete: Though not as athletic as Kaede, she does play tennis.
61* AgentScully: Doesn't believe in the magic of the Pretty Cure despite being one.
62* ArbitrarySkepticism
63* BrainyBrunette: Has dark hair in civilian form, and is very intelligent.
64* BestFriend: Is this to Kaede.
65*** ChildhoodFriends: Is also this with Kaede. However, unlike most examples, they've had an active friendship ever since.
66* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Along with Bobble, is this towards Kaede.
67* ThePerfectionist: When it comes to her grades.
68* RedOniBlueOni: Is the blue to Kaede's red.
69* ResignedToTheCall: Especially apparent in her debut episode. She doesn't want to believe that there's a small talking alien right in front of her who's telling her to become a magical warrior in order to protect the magic of friendship, but soon realizes she has no choice.
70* TimeMaster: Has power over time in addition to wisdom.
71* OjouRinglets: Develops these in Cure Form. Surprisingly, though, she isn't an Ojou.
72* BadassBookworm: Is one of the smartest girls in her grade, who also has the power to control time.
73* MeaningfulName: The combination kanji in her first name translates to excellent widsdom, relating to her alter ego being Cure Wisdom.
74* TheBGrade: She's the most like this out of the cures even getting upset over a 98% on one occasion.
75* GoodWithNumbers: In her first appearance, she's seen practically tutoring Alana while they're in math class.
76* TeamMom: Is the most comforting and helpful of the team.
77
78!!!Shion Tsubasa/Cure Laugh
79The fourth Cure. Unlike her friends, she doesn't have a defined passion or any ideas about what she wants to do in life, which causes her to self-depreciate a lot. She has an orange theme color and controls the power of laughter.
80* DubNameChange: Her name is now Sarah.
81* DarkIsNotEvil: Has dark hair in civilian form, and likes to wear darker clothing, but she's just as nice as the other Pretty Cure in her group.
82* DeadpanSnarker: Her second favorite form of humor.
83* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Feels bad that many of her friends have already decided on a path, when she hasn't.
84* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Her favorite form of humor. Ironic in the fact that her friends don't find her self put-downs funny in the slightest.
85* MorningRoutine: A special part of Shion's is when she meets up with some of her friends before the bell rings, and they talk and joke with each other.
86* SadClown: Not in the literal sense, but she does crack jokes despite her below-average self-esteem.
87* GoalInLife: A major point in her character is that she doesn't have one.
88* TheEveryman: Thinks she's this compared to the other Pretty Cure (her actual ability is making people smile); Alana and Madoka have their music, Kaede has her sports, Chika has her smarts.
89* LesserStar
90* RedheadsAreUncool: Becomes a ginger in cure form and is the only one of the Cures that don't have a defining talent.
91* TheWoobie: She constantly looks down on herself and uses self-deprecating humor; She thinks she's a horrible choice to become a Pretty Cure, because she doesn't have any idea what her biggest dream in life is.
92
93!!!Madoka Nomi/[[spoiler:Cure Desire]]
94* DubNameChange: Her name is now Madison, with her alter-ego being Glitter Wish.
95* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Played with. She's actually the shortest member of the team, but does have the signature long brunette hair and serious personality.
96** SugarAndIcePersonality: Though it appears to be mostly ice, it turns to sugar when she's in public, and especially when she's on stage. This isn't to say she's wearing a MaskOfSanity however; When she's not performing, she's quite shy and fragile.
97* AlwaysSecondBest: Seems to be this to Alana; Most of the time though, she doesn't even believe she's second best, usually putting herself at an absurdly low ranking.
98* UsefulNotes/AspergerSyndrome: Madoka is explicitly stated to be autistic.
99* DespairEventHorizon: Is already halfway there at the beginning of the series due to her uncle's death, but crosses it officially when she has a panic attack during an important audition. When she receives the official results afterwards, [[spoiler:gets corrupted, turning into Dark Desire]]
100* FaceHeelTurn: Downplayed. Madoka was intended to be a Pretty Cure from the beginning, however she was [[spoiler:corrupted by The Negative before Bobble and the others could reach out to her.]]
101* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Elegant, and is the purple-themed cure.
102* {{Lunacy}}: Has moonlight-based powers in Cure form.
103* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Played for Drama. Usually, she is one of the most dedicated and passionate people in her choir. [[spoiler:Because of the Negative's brainwashing, however, she's constantly on the verge of quitting.]]
104* ThePerfectionist: She believes she has to pass every audition, and can never settle for second place at competitions, just to be worthy of anyone's respect or love. Luckily, at least the biggest reason she's like this, her father, doesn't see it this way, as is always proud of her if she tries her best.
105* TheResenter: To Alana. This is the main reason behind Madoka's jealousy.
106* StepfordSmiler: For a brief span of time in between the beginning of the series and [[spoiler:her corruption]] she's this.
107* WalkingSpoiler: For the first half of the season. That being said, all spoilers are still marked here.
108* WellDoneSonGuy: Desperately wants her father to be proud of her and listen to her and her choir perform.
109* TheWoobie: The morning of the series, her uncle passes away, causing her to fall into a depression. A few episodes in, and her love of music betrays her at an audition, causing her to cross the Despair Event Horizon. On top of that, she desperately craves protection and affection and thinks that the only way to get it is to never fail her father.
110** To top this all off, she was also born two months premature, causing her to have mild cerebral palsy, which makes her legs hurt like all get out if she uses too much stamina at once. This may not sound like a big deal, but considering her [[DreamCrushingHandicap dream is to be a performer...]]
111* DarkFeminineLightFeminine: The Dark to Alana's light.
112* SixthRanger: She doesn't join the Pretty Cure officially until Episode 27.
113* DespairSpeech: She gives a rather eerie and monotone one at the end of Episode 6. [[spoiler: "Desire's darkened in the moon's shadows...I am Dark Desire."]]
114* HonorBeforeReason: It doesn't matter if she's just gotten hurt or is sick or tired to the point of exaustion. If even the smallest part of her thinks she can, she ''will'' keep going.
115* NotGoodWithRejection: One of her most major character flaws. She failed an audition, which was the turning point that caused [[spoiler:her corruption]] Not to mention she also has another breakdown when she gets rejected once more from another very important audition
116
117!!!Bobble
118* ChewToy: He's constantly getting swatted away by the villains, and sometimes by the Cures on accident.

133* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: Wears a rainbow sash over her white dress, made up of the Pretty Cures' theme colors.
134* {{Foil}}: To Enemie; She's a leader who protects friendship and dresses mostly in white, while Enemie is the leader of an organization that plans to rid the world of friendship, and dresses mostly in black.
135* {{Expy}} Of the Queen from Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure
136* MyGreatestFailure: Is rather distraught about the corruption of Desire.
137* TheHighQueen: Being the queen of friendship, she's as about as kind and openhearted as it gets.

140* GentleGiant: She is the Queen of harmony and friendship, and is about 2 times taller than the Pretty Cure.
141* LightIsGood: Has a faint glow around her, and has a light color scheme all around.
142* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Despite her corruption and betrayal, Queen Harmonia is more than happy to let Cure Desire become a Pretty Cure again, because she realizes that it wasn't her choice to turn on them.
143* BarrierWarrior: Is able to create domes of light around herself and others to keep them from getting corrupted.
144* BenevolentMageRuler: Is the queen of the Friendship Kingdom and has the ability to manipulate light.

149[[folder:TheNegative]]
150!!!Enemie
151* AntagonistAbilities: FightingAShadow
152* BigBad: The leader of the Negative.
153* ManipulativeBastard: Originally intended to be this with Dark Desire acting as his UnwittingPawn. He has since abandoned this plan after Douleur insisted this plan [[EvenEvilHasStandards went against his standards.]]
154* TheLeader: The Charismatic type, but his followers are mostly there out of fear.
155** LargeAndInCharge: By far the tallest member of the Negative
156* OmnicidalManiac: He wants to bring the Friendship Kingdom to ruins, and then rule over the remains. His idea of ruins doesn't include sparing whatever's living there.
157* TheResenter: Of Queen Harmonia, due to her ability to be constantly happy and friendly to everyone she comes across; He figures that if he takes Desire and devastates the kingdom, he'll destroy that bond, thus majorly endangering the bonds of friendship elsewhere.
158* HopeCrusher: ''Was'' this towards [[spoiler: Madoka]] and his MasterPlan was to be this for the entire Friendship Kingdom.
159* DarkIsEvil: Is made up of black shadows, and wears a dark grey cloak.
160* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: In episode 18]]

162
163!!!Douleur
164* AntagonistAbilities: MindManipulation, VillainTeleportation, MasterOfIllusion
165* AffablyEvil: Calls Madoka/[[spoiler:Desire]] by several pet names, and means each and every one of them. This, of course, leads to FoeRomanceSubtext between them.
166* BilingualBonus: Douleur means "to grieve" in French, relating to the fact that he first met [[spoiler: Madoka]] after her uncle's death and started the plan from there.
167** MeaningfulName:
168* EvenEvilHasStandards: During a conversation with Enemie, it's revealed that the kindness he showed towards Cure Desire was meant to be a facade according to Enemie's plan to break her even further, but that would be crossing the MoralEventHorizon.
169* TheHeavy: For much of the story, he is more focused on than his boss.
170* TheDragon: To Enemie, which makes Envie jealous.
171* PapaWolf: Played with in the fact that he is absolutely not Dark Desire's father, but is the one who brought her to The Negative, the fact that he treats her like a daughter, and WILL protect her if she's ever injured in a battle with the Pretty Cure.
172* TheCorrupter: Using his BreakingSpeech, he is the one who performs Madoka's MoreThanMindControl [[spoiler: to turn her into Dark Desire]]
173* TermsOfEndangerment: Uses these all the time with Dark Desire as he knows she DesperatelyCravesAffection. His favorite seems to be darling.
174
175!!!Envie
176* AntagonistAbilities: SummonMagic, VillainTeleportation, AttackAnimal,VoluntaryShapeshifting
177* DrivenByEnvy: Can magnify it and is constantly jealous of Douleur and Enemie for having more power than she does, and is also jealous of [[spoiler:Madoka]] for pushing her into the background of The Negative.
178** FridgeLogic: However, she was the one who manipulated [[spoiler: Madoka's]]jealousy enough so she could be corrupted by Douleur, so [[spoiler: Madoka's]] whole corruption arc was actually her fault.
179* EnemySummoner: Is in charge of summoning and controlling many of the Monsters of the Week.
180* GreenEyedMonster: Has eerie green eyes, and is a villain that controls jealousy, so she hits all the marks for this trope.
181* LesserStar: For the most part, and she is usually operating behind the MonsterOfTheWeek. Of course, this is lampshaded eventually. However, she does eventually get ADayInTheLimelight.
182* MakeUpIsEvil: Wears bright red lipstick and large amounts of green eyeliner, and is a villain.
183* LadyOfBlackMagic: Can magnify jealousy enough to turn one of the warriors of friendship against their own, and is also quite mature.
184
185!!!Dark Desire
186* AntagonistAbilities: PowersDoTheFighting,
187* BlankSlate: Cannot usually show expression through her MindControlEyes. Especially during her first true appearance in Episode 6.
188* DesperatelyCravesAffection: WordOfGod, but it's said that the reason why Douleur uses so many pet names with her is that he knows she is this trope.
189* GlowingEyesOfDoom: These are red when she goes into her complete form
190** DullEyesOfUnhappiness
191** RedEyesTakeWarning
192* {{Metamorphosis}}: Not her herself, but her outfits; Her first outfit, when she is just under the influence of the Negative, is a faded and torn version of her Cure uniform, while the outfit she wears officially as Dark Desire is made up of mostly shades of grey.
193* NeverBeHurtAgain: The main reason she transformed into Dark Desire, after she had a panic attack during a bombed audition in Episode 6.
194* SafetyInIndifference: Douleur convinces her to live her life this way, [[spoiler: transforming Madoka into the complete form of Dark Desire]]
195* WalkingSpoiler: As much so as her good counterpart. That being said, all of her spoilers are still marked here.
196* SpoiledBrat: Thanks to the Negative's work on their LotusEaterMachine-style manor in the Winter's Forest, Dark Desire is used to getting every thing she wants without having to lift a finger. However thanks to their BadIsGood mentality, she's ''expected'' to throw tantrums when she doesn't get her way.
197* HelplessGoodSide: Inverted. Dark Desire is actually [[spoiler:Madoka's]] helpless ''evil'' side.
198[[/folder]]
