11Written by [[Tropers/PerfumePreppy cure_shabon]] at Livejournal, it's one of the first fictional [[AlternateContinuity Alternate Continuities]] for the ''Anime/PrettyCure'' franchise, and practically (if not actually) the oldest and longest. It's said to be "aspects of old ''Pretty Cure'' series gathered together to form a new one", but still has a fairly large fanbase.
12
13The story goes like this: Many years ago, a great evil struck the [[MagicalLand Scent Kingdom]], a kingdom in an alternate dimension populated by small talking animals. Their last hope was a team of five extraordinarily empowered girls known as Pretty Cure, who easily managed to destroy this great evil and bring peace back to the kingdom.
14
15However, several years later, the organization of Karlix appears, in plans to obtain the [[MacGuffin Angelic Dandelion]] and TakeOverTheWorld. After Karlix causes havoc in the Scent Kingdom, the current prince and princess are sent to Earth, more specifically to the small town of Oriyama, where they are charged of managing a perfume shop and finding the next generation of Pretty Cure. Within a few chapters or so, they have assembled a complete team:
16
17* Chloe Auriville ('''Cure Rosa'''): TheLeader of the team and TheProtagonist, 14 years old. A gentle and collected cherry-redhead from France, who cares a lot about her family and friends.
18* Chiara Auriville ('''Cure Vanilla'''): KidAppealCharacter, 13 years old. The youngest member of the team, and Chloe's [[GenkiGirl cheerful]] and [[DumbBlonde "just clueless"]] younger sister.
19* Ayameko Mayonaka ('''Cure Jasmine'''): TheLancer, 14 years old. A [[{{Bokukko}} tomboyish]] girl who is the captain of the school's baseball team. [[TrademarkFavoriteFood Loves pudding]].
20* Hanae Mitsukawa ('''Cure Tangerine'''): [[TheSmartGuy The Smart Gal]], 14 years old. A graceful and demure {{Meganekko}} who is training to become a ballerina.
21* Ikuko Torino ('''Cure Cardamomo'''): [[TheBigGuy The Big Gal]], 16 years old. The oldest member of the team, and the heiress to a toy store chain. Becomes Hanae's {{seme}}, and is quite well-endowed.
22* '''Lavvie''' and '''Lotus''': Double as {{Team Pet}}s and {{Mentors}}. Scent Kingdom's prince and princess themselves, two skunks who are brother and sister. Lavvie is happy-go-lucky, while Lotus is slightly more down-to-earth.
23
24Later on, two additional characters are introduced to the main cast:
25* Ashley [=McFly=] ('''Leather Ashes'''): A seemingly 14-year-old DarkMagicalGirl who works for Karlix (in fact, her mother, Raflesina, is the BigBad). A flat-chested LittleMissBadass "[[{{Fauxreigner}} from America]]".
26* '''Pittan''': The [[SixthRanger Third Ranger]] to the mascots. A stubborn and kinda arrogant messenger bird that was sent to grant the Cures their {{Mid Season Upgrade}}s. Has absolutely no relation to the song "Moji Pittan".

30----
31!!'''This fanfic contains examples of:'''
32%%b* ACupAngst: Chiara and Ashley, to hilarious extents on the former's part.
33* AfterTheEnd: In episode 48, [[spoiler:the Cures encounter a desolated, post-apocalyptic Oriyama after returning from the Scent Kingdom]].
34%% * AlternateContinuity
35%% * AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Kiyo, Ikuko's little brother, and Taisuke, Ayameko's cousin from episode 9 (although he would be more of an Annoying Younger ''Cousin''). It doesn't help that in the same episode the two form an unstoppable duo and team up with Caitlin, the younger sister of a minor character.
36%% * AntiVillain: [[spoiler:Lucia, in TheMovie]].
37* ArtisticLicenseReligion: In episode 37, two of the children Pretty Cure visit while assisting Santa are a pair of Hindu siblings living in India... whom Pretty Cure leave beef skewers for, as the children had been secretly wishing to eat cow.
38* AssholeVictim: Ashley's very first on-screen casualty, in her official debut in episode 24, was someone who tried to touch her inappropriately.
39%% * ATeamFiring: Happens as part of Hanae's bad luck spree in episode 36.
40* BalletEpisode: "Flying with Broken Wings" centers on a devastating injury Hanae suffers that almost causes her to quit dancing. The rest of the Cures put on a ballet show of their own in a successful attempt to make her feel better.
41* BeachEpisode: Episode 16 sees both the Pretty Cure [[VillainsOutShopping and the villains]] spending a relaxing day at the beach, playing in the ocean and eating ice-cream. Notably, the villains recognize the Pretty Cure but decide to leave them be for the time being, as they want to enjoy their day off.
42%% * BelligerentSexualTension: Ayameko and Pittan.
43%% * BlandNameProduct:
44* BloodierAndGorier: For the most part, this fic is fairly tame and light hearted...until Episode 48 when Ashley, aka Leather Ashes, [[spoiler:eats a corpse]]. It's depicted in graphic detail.
45%% * BondOneLiner: Cure Jasmine in episode 45. "We're having roasted cheese for dinner tonight!"
46%% * BumblingDad: Theodore
47%% * ButNotTooForeign: Chloe and Chiara; subverted due to them being fully French rather than half-French.
48%% * ByThePowerOfGreyskull:
49%% ** "Pretty Cure's Scent of Love! [[note]](or ''Pendant Power'', used only in episode 17)[[/note]]
50%% ** Ashley/Leather Ashes uses "Kage Mutate!", which gets "Watashi wo Akiraka ni!" attached onto the beginning in episode 41, to transform into Beserker Ashes.
51%% * CaptainErsatz
52* ChildhoodBrainDamage: A running gag is that Chiara was dropped on her head as an infant and that this is the reason for her ditzy nature.
53* ChristmasEpisode: Episode 37, which sees Santa crash-landing in Oriyama and needing Pretty Cure to help deliver presents. Pretty Cure get red and white versions of their Cure outfits trimmed in white fleece, and travel the world leaving presents for children in other countries. The episode also deals with a classmate's little sister wanting "the moon" as a present and the girls wondering how to possible grant this wish. It turns out she ''meant'' she wanted a moon-shaped necklace she saw in a jewelry shop.
54%% * ColourCodedCharacters:
55%% ** The author likes being original and standing out from the rest, so instead of the usual Sentai color combination (Red+ Blue+ Green+ Yellow+ Some Other Color), she brings us Pink+ Yellow+ Purple+ Orange+ Green. However, red and blue do show up in the girls' school uniforms.)
56%% ** The dance lessons scene midway through episode 28 has the four girls participating wearing their respective theme colors.
57* ContinuityReboot: Cure Shabon has expressed interest in redoing Perfume Preppy and fixing its mistakes in the form of a new product called Fragrant Pretty Cure. As of now, there isn't any more information than that.
58* CooldownHug: In episode 41, [[spoiler:Cure Rosa, remembering she saw this in a movie once, embraces a rampaging Berserker Ashes, in a scene that closely references a similar gif between Cure Peach and Eas in {{Anime}}/FreshPrettyCure. It confuses Berserker Ashley enough to stop attacking entirely.]]
59%% * {{Crossdresser}}:
60%% ** Ayameko gets the part of one of the male villains of ''Futari wa Hearty Pure'', Pisshurd, in episode 28.
61%% ** Pittan pulls this off in the second eyecatch and is rewarded by a PaperFanOfDoom from Ayameko.
62%% * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: At least in Cure form.
63%% * DarkerAndEdgier: While not overt, this trope is definitely in effect in places during the second half, ''especially'' whenever Ashley's involved.
64%% * DarkMagicalGirl (Ashley [=McFly=] A.K.A Leather Ashes. Also the Cures' Ylang-Ylang mirror images in episode 7.)
65* DayOfTheWeekName: The Akutare brothers, Getsuyo, Kayo and Suiyo, are named after the Japanese words for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (Getsuyoubi, Kayoubi and Suiyoubi).
66* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Chloe takes an attack meant for Ashley in episode 49, which kills her instantly. A combination of ThePowerOfFriendship and the timely appearance of the Angelic Dandelion brings her back.]]
67%% * TheDitz: At the beginning, Chiara was one of these in training.
68* EarlyBirdCameo: Kaori Furuya who has a major role in episode 47 of ''FanFic/PrettyCureHeavyMetal'', appears as a member of Oriyama High's dance club with Hanae in episode 50.
69%% * EmbarrassingFirstName: In episode 37, Santa Claus is [[spoiler:a seemingly young boy who prefers to go by the name of Nicola]].
70* ElementalPowers: The group consists of Heart (Cure Rosa), Sound (Cure Vanilla), Lightning (Cure Jasmine), Air (Cure Tangerine), and Earth (Cure Cardamomo), though this changes a little with the power-up attacks. On the other hand, DarkMagicalGirl Leather Ashes uses the elements of Darkness and Blood.
71* TheElevatorFromIpanema: {{Subverted}} and {{lampshaded}}. In the sixth episode, there is an elevator moment, in which a bossa nova-ish version of the opening for the first season of ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5'', "Smile Go Go", played instead of the obligatory "Girl from Ipanema". Chiara asks why is it so, and Hakuo responds it was too overused.
72* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler: In the final episode, the Angelic Dandelion finally makes its appearance to grant the wish of someone with a pure heart: Ashley. Ashley’s wish for Cure Rosa’s revival also grants the girls their Angelic Dandelion forms and lets Ashley turn into a heroine named Porcelain Petal. This new form is strong enough to destroy Raflesina for good.]]
73%% * ElsewhereFic
74%% * EverybodyLaughsEnding: Once or twice..
75%% * {{Expy}}: Most of all, Chiara and Pittan are expies of [[Anime/YesPrettyCure5 Urara and Syrup]], plus Ikuko's a lot like what would [[Franchise/SailorMoon Sailor Jupiter]] and [[Manga/MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch Rina Toin]]'s offspring would be like.
76* EyeColorChange: Due to the TransformationSequence: From civilian to Cure form. Chloe: green to pink; Chiara: light blue to hazel; Ayameko: dark blue to purple; Hanae; red to orange; Ikuko: brown to green.
77%% * FourTemperamentEnsemble: A rare five-temperament example. Chloe is melancholic (but she's not a perfectionist at any extent), Chiara is sanguine, Ayameko is choleric, Hanae is supine and Ikuko is phlegmatic (although not to the point of being lazy).
78%% * FuroScene: For Ikuko, at the beginning of episode 35.
79%% * GenkiGirl: Chiara and Lapinyuu.
80%% * GenrePopularizer: Would there ''be'' any ''Pretty Cure'' OC-season fic without this story? Probably not.
81%% * GenreSavvy: Lapinyuu
82* GilliganCut: In episode 44.
83-->'''Pittan:''' No, no and NO! I am NOT going to school with you guys! I'm staying here and there is nothing you can do to make me change my mind! I'm not going to school, end of story!
84-->[cut]
85-->'''Pittan:''' I can't believe that I'm at school.
86%% * GirlishPigtails: In-team, Chiara and Hanae. Outside of the team, Ran Nakayama, Arisa Erisawa and Lapinyuu as Cure Happy Smiles.
87* GirlScoutsAreEvil: In episode 11, {{genre savvy}} villainess Lapinyuu disguises as a girl scout to enter the Auriville residence. It fails miserably.
88-->'''Lapinyuu:''' Would you like some fresh-baked cookies from Aunt Makoto?s Farm? They come in the flavors of chocolate, strawberry, [[Anime/FreshPrettyCure peach, blueberry, pineapple, passionfruit]] and Oreos with peanut-- (Chloe slams door on her face) --butter.
89%% * AGoodNameForARockBand: Peppermint Carnage in episode 45.
90%% * GratuitousFrench: Well, they ''are'' from France, but...
91%% * GratuitousJapanese
92%% * GratuitousSpanish: Chleo in episode 33.
93%% * GroinAttack: Chiara does this to a monster in episodes 6 and 15. Same with Hanae in episode 35.
94%% * HannibalLecture: Rare heroic example. [[spoiler:Leather Ashes]] to Raflesina, who then proceeds to go "ShutUpHannibal" like never before.
95%% * HappyHolidaysDress: In episode 37, the girls gain Christmas versions of their usual Pretty Cure outfits.
96* HeelFaceTurn:
97** [[spoiler:In episode 13, Lapinyuu is fired from Karlix for sporting Pretty Cure paraphernalia in Raflesina's presence and desires to join the Cures but is rejected, though by chance she winds up in her first acting job immediately afterward--as [[SixthRanger Third Ranger]] to Hearty Pure, Glowy Radiant]].
98** Karlix’s butler, Tsubo-kun, pulls one in episode 48, after Vanilla gives him [[CareBearStare puppy eyes and nicely asks him to help them.]]
99** [[spoiler:Ashley has one in episode 49, after Pittan reminds her how Chloe repeatedly said there was good in her and that she wanted to be her friend. Realizing that Chloe showed more kindness and affection than Raflesina ever did, she decides to prove Chloe right and join the Cures in challenging her mother.]]
100* HighClassGlass: Classmate Arisa Erisawa wears a monocle over one of her eyes -- because she's blind in that eye.
101%% * HighClassGloves: Sported by Cures Jasmine and Cardamomo.
102* HighHeelFaceTurn: The only [[spoiler:two]] denizen[[spoiler:s]] of Karlix that converted to the good side here [[spoiler:were]] female: Lapinyuu [[spoiler:and Ashley]].
103%% * HotbloodedSideburns: Ayameko.
104* HumanityEnsues:
105** In episode 44, [[spoiler:Pittan gains the ability to become human from Queen Aida, and is absolutely displeased with this, even refusing to go to school with the other girls. [[GilliganCut He does go anyways]]]].
106** In episode 50, [[spoiler: Tsubo-kun becomes a human boy as a result of the Angelic Dandelion’s WorldHealingWave.]]
107* IdolSinger:
108** [[spoiler:Aurora-sensei, the girls' teacher, was one of these when she was younger.]] She retired to get out of the spotlight and to live an ordinary life.
109** One-off character Hyosuke Holic, whom Vanilla is a fan of, appears in one episode to sing and encourage the Pretty Cure.
110* ImAHumanitarian: Ashley had been seen killing someone before, but in episode 48, we see her eating one of the victims.
111* InjuredLimbEpisode:
112** Episode 22 sees Lotus accidentally jumping out a window attempting to mimic parkour moves she saw the girls doing, resulting in her injuring her entire body.
113** In episode 28, Hanae breaks her leg and has to face the prospect of never dancing again because of it. Her [[MidSeasonUpgrade Silver Cure Hummingbird]] comes to heal it before the end of the episode, something the doctors presumably just chalk up as a miracle.
114* InsistentTerminology
115** Chiara insists that she is "[[ACupAngst just in development]]" every time someone calls her "flat".
116** And in episode 15...
117-->'''Ayameko:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis IT! WASN'T! A! DATE!]] Just a stupid fancy dinner! Nothing else!
118* InteractiveNarrator: At several points in the fic, a character will react to someone in the narration, prompting the text to respond back, etc. A good example of this is in episode 49.
119-->'''Narration:''' [...]following the trail of blood until she reached an elevator and entered it.
120-->'''Cure Vanilla:''' An alligator?
121-->'''Narration:''' No, Vanilla, not an alligator. An ''elevator.''
122-->'''Cure Vanilla:''' "Oh, thanks."
123* IShouldWriteABookAboutThis: In the final episode, Chloe decides to write about everything that happened.
124%% * {{Kawaiiko}}: Lapinyuu.
125%% * {{Keet}}: Meguo and Lavvie.
126* LadiesAndGerms: When the author is introducing episode 35: "Ladies, gentlemen, and Ryanasaurus...", referring to the author of ''FanFic/PrettyCureHeavyMetal'', which is set in the same universe.
127* LaserGuidedAmnesia: As a result of Karlix’s evil plan of the week, Ikuko and many other Oriyama citizens wake up with full amnesia in episode 35. They get their memories back after the Ylang-Ylang responsible is destroyed.
128%% * LaughablyEvil: Lapinyuu again.
129* LemonyNarrator: The omniscient narrator frequently commentates on the story, leans on the fourth wall, and on occasion even directly interacts with the characters through dialogue. One notable example is whenever the girls transform, the narrator quickly grows bored and simply describes the scene as "lots of sparkles and light," and says they imagine in animation this would become repetitive and boring.
130%% * LittleMissBadass: Ashley.
131%% * MagicPants: [[spoiler:Beautifully averted by Pittan whenever he turns human]].
132%% * MagicSkirt: Every Cure except Rosa.
133* MakeMeWannaShout:
134** Cure Vanilla's first attack, "Pretty Cure Vanilla Echo", had her scream into a giant yellow megaphone made of light, producing soundwaves that went straight to the enemy, killing it as of episode 5.
135** WordOfGod describes Cure Tangerine's power-up attack, "Pretty Cure Tangerine Silver Wail", as her screaming out orange soundwaves which do the same thing.
136%% * MarshmallowHell: Ikuko puts Pittan through this in episode 35.
137%% * MeaningfulName:
138%% ** Ayameko's last name means "midnight". And given that purple is kind of a night-ish color...
139%% ** '''Ash'''ley [=McFly=].
140%% * MidSeasonUpgrade: The Silver Cure Humming Birds.
141%% * MinionShipping: Gaabeitan/Raflesina, althought still one-sided. Yes, she's his boss, but that's not the case.
142%% * MissedTheCall: Lili in episode 4. Turns out, Ikuko beat her to the cardomom scent.
143* MissingMom: Chloe and Chiara lost their mother, Angelique, in a car accident at the beginning of the series. There are periodic moments where they miss her, such as when Chloe finds a locket that once belonged to her, or how in Chloe’s dream of being a pirate it was Angelique’s voice encouraging her to be brave.
144%% * ModestyTowel: Hakuo at the end of episode 19, Ikuko at the beginning of episode 35.
145%% * MonsterOfTheWeek: As in any other ''Pretty Cure'' series; here, they're called Ylang-Ylangs.
146%% * TheMovie: Yes, there's gonna be one after the series is over. WordOfGod says so.
147%% * MythologyGag: ''Futari wa Hearty Pure'', mentioned very often through the fanfic.
148* NakedPeopleAreFunny: [[spoiler:Pittan is always in the buff when he transforms into a human, leading to much awkwardness in Episode 44]].
149* NewJobEpisode: Episode 5 sees Chiara getting a job at a new cosplay cafe that recently opened up, wanting to earn extra pocket money. It turns out to be a creation of Karlix, as their employees are brainwashed by the headbands that are required in their uniforms. Chiara is only spared because she thought the headband was too old-fashioned and didn't put it on.
150%% * NewTransferStudent: Chloe and Chiara at the beginning, Ashley and supporting character Arisa later on.
151%% * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Hyosuke Holic, of course, as well as some subtle examples from episode 44.
152* NonIndicativeName: This fic doesn't feature any actual preps.
153* NonSequiturThud: A RunningGag involves characters cheerfully singing "Smily Lolipopu Land..." when they're dizzy or on the verge of passing out.
154%% * OfficialCouple: Hakuo and Chloe, Meguo and Ran, Hanae and Ikuko, [[spoiler:[[BelligerentSexualTension Pittan and Ayameko]]]].
155%% * {{Ojou}}: Ikuko.
156%% * OlderThanTheyLook: Nicola may look 18, but in fact he can't even remember his real age.
157* OnTheNextEpisodeOfCatchPhrase: "Hanakaeshita anata wo uketemeru!", which is supposed to mean 'Catch you on the rebound!'
158%% * OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Hanae, episode 20.
159%% * OriginalCharacter: And ''how''!
160%% * PaperFanOfDoom: Ayameko uses one on Pittan during one of the eyecatches.
161%% * PhenotypeStereotype: Averted with Ashley; also one of the things she hates.
162* PollyWantsAMicrophone: Pittan's fairy form is based on a bird, and he's very talkative.
163%% * PoseOfSupplication: Done by Chloe in episode 10.
164%% * PostEpisodeTrailer
165%% * PostKissCatatonia: Happens to Taisuke in episode 9, after Caitlin kisses his cheek.
166* PrecisionFStrike: Pittan in episode 38.
167--> "'''DON'T CALL ME PIT, DAMMIT!'''"
168%% * ThePsychoRangers: The boys from the Sunday Scent Shop.
169%% * PunctuatedForEmphasis: "IT! WASN'T! A! DATE!"
170%% * QuirkyMinibossSquad: Again, as in any other ''Pretty Cure'' series.
171* RaisedByGrandparents: Hanae lost her parents when she was young, her father dying in a forest fire when she was six, and her mother dying of an undisclosed illness soon after. She’s been raised by her maternal grandmother ever since.
172%% * RefusalOfTheCall: With Lili.
173* ScreamingBirth: The beginning of episode 14 features a fairy giving birth to her son, screaming loud enough to send birds flying in panic.
174* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In episode 45, a boy named Tsumuji, who is performing a magician act, becomes annoyed when he realizes that the audience isn't even paying attention to him as they're far too busy watching the Cures battling Frencheese.
175-->'''Audience:''' Ooooh~
176-->'''Tsumuji:''' (puts hands on hips) Seriously, I haven't done anything yet, and you're already 'oooh'ing? (rips off bowtie and storms off the stage) Screw This I'm Outta Here.
177%% * ShirtlessScene: From both Ichiyou brothers at the end of episode 19.
178* ShipTease: In episode 18, it's implied that Lavvie is worried about Chiara, spawning a rather crafty dialogue exchange between him and his sister.
179--> '''Lavvie:''' We have to finish this quick, Lotus! Otherwise Chia-chan won't be able to fight with the others!
180--> '''Lotus:''' You like her, don'tcha, desu?
181--> '''Lavvie:''' * [[LuminescentBlush blushes]]* Of course not, nee-chan! It's just that I'm worried about her and the others!
182* ShoutOut:
183** Chiara’s hairstyle as Cure Vanilla was meant to resemble [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls Bubbles]].
184** There is one to the Brazillian edition of ''Series/AmericanIdol'' in episodes 31 and 34, particularly to a contestant known as Marcos Paulo. He ended up being eliminated during the Top 6 ([[spoiler:such thing did happen to his fanfic counterpart Hyosuke Holic during his second appearance]]) and never popped up at media again since then, but the author still swoons over him.
185** Ayameko nicknaming her guitar "[[FanFic/FutariWaPrettyCureBlueMoon Blue Moon]]" in episode 45, which also mentions "Second Spin" (Night and Sunday's finishing move) and includes a ShipTease moment reminiscent of Asa falling onto Yoko in episode 10.
186%% ** WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans
187%% ** WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls
188%% ** WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko
189%% ** Anime/PrincessTutu
190%% ** Manga/Cyborg009
191* ShowWithinAShow:
192** ''Futari wa Hearty Pure''. The Cures (and also most people at their school) are big fans of the show, and [[spoiler:Lapinyuu becomes part of the cast, playing a [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Shiny Luminous]] parody]].
193** The two shows that helped Chloe and Chiara's father Theodore become a trampoline fetishist, ''Bounce'' and ''Thud'', also count.
194%% * ShrinkingViolet: Hanae, more like Shrinking ''Orange''.
195%% * SickEpisode: Well, ''hurt'', but still counts.
196%% * SkinshipGrope: Ayameko's infamous "Gropefruit Hour", which fails miserably when she tries it on Ashley.
197* SlipknotPonytail: Cure Rosa deliberately involves this in episodes 10 and 41, loosening her hair ribbon before leaping into battle so her ponytail will come undone.
198* SpinAttack: Cure Tangerine's "Pretty Cure Tangerine Whirlwind", her spinning kick in episode 17, and her spinning punch in episode 24.
199* SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion: Happened once to Chloe during episode 8. Naturally, she was the [[WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans Austicles]] parody.
200-->'''Chloe:''' Whoa! I look like I took one heck of a sunburn. ''(twirls about)'' I mean, I'm cherry-red even when I-- ''(covers mouth in shock)'' Xi. I was about to rhyme.
201%% * SuperpoweredEvilSide: More like Superpowered Evil''er'' Side; Ashley gains a new transformation into Berserker Ashes in episode 41. It doesn't last, though.
202* SurpriseSantaEncounter: In episode 37, Ikuko finds an unconscious white-haired boy next to her Christmas tree during Christmas Eve night. It turns out to be Santa Claus, who needs the girls' help in delivering presents while he repairs his sleigh.
203* SweetPollyOliver: [[spoiler:Sasaki, when she was in the basketball team masquerading as her brother]].
204* ThemeNaming: A motif of scents stretches itself through the Cures and the mascots (Lavvie is short for lavender, and Pittan's name is supposed to be derivated from the Brazillian name of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenia_uniflora Eugenia uniflora]]). Even [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafflesia Raflesina]] and the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ylang_ylang monsters]] fall under this.
205* TrademarkFavoriteFood:
206** Ayameko has such an obsession with pudding.
207** Pittan and his butterscotch.
208* TransformationSequence: Averted; the space normally used for describing the transformation are filled with random comments by the LemonyNarrator, usually about "[[EverythingsBetterWithSparkles sparkly stuff]]". In episode 12, there is a little quote by the narrator during that part which reasons that.)
209-->First, it's repetitive and boring if you read the series everyday; second, it's a matter of letting you guys imagine how they would be like; and third, I don't have the time to do it.
210%% * TransformationTrinket: The [=CureBottles=], their replacement pendants in episode 17, and Leather Ashes' Leather Fan.
211%% * TwelfthNightAdventure: [[spoiler:Sasaki. However, unlike most others, it didn't end well, as she got kicked off the team after her secret is revealed, and the team's luck had the floor drop from under it, as it lost a lot of games and eventually gave up and dissolved]].
212* TwoTeacherSchool: Averted; Oriyama Junior High has a set of different classes, with one teacher for each class, plus a school nurse and a PE teacher.
213%% * {{Underboobs}}: Ikuko as "Cure Wintergreen" in episode 11.
214* VerbalTic:
215** Lotus tends to finish her sentences in "desu".
216** In episode 18, when Chiara was fused with Sophie the puppy, she ended her phrases with "-da wan".
217** In episode 20, as a mermaid, Hanae ended her sentences with "pichi"; this suffix comes from "pichi pichi", the onomatopoeia of a fish blowing bubbles.
218** Tsubo-kun (the Karlix denizens' butler) adds "-iran".
219* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: The fanfic takes place in the fictional town of Oriyama, which neighbours the equally fictional town of Tsukimiya. Add another equally fictional town, [[FanFic/PrettyCureHeavyMetal Isuten]], and you have the Tri-Cities. Now, about where they're located, the author is still unsure.
220* WholePlotReference: The fic is a rather unlikely example, as every so often it parodies episodes from actual TV shows instead of the usual things. To list what the author referenced so far: ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans'', ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' (three times so far!), and even ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder''. Make that of what you will.
221* XtremeKoolLetterz: "Karlix" is actually just the word "garlic" (or even the plural "garlics") with this invoked.
222%% * YamatoNadeshiko: [[spoiler:Sasaki strived to be one of these at first, but gave up when she had to cut her hair and replace her brother at the school's basketball team]].
