[[note]]Clockwise from top right: Dyspear, Shut, Close, Stop and Freeze, Cure Scarlet/Towa Akagi, Miss Shamour, Kuroro, Yui Nanase, Aroma, Cure Flora/Haruka Haruno, Pufff, Cure Mermaid/Minami Kaido and Cure Twinkle/Kirara Amanogawa.[[/note]]]]

Haruka Haruno is a girl who dreams of being a princess just like in the picture books she loves to read. As a child, this dream got her bullied by her classmates. One day, while running from her bullies, she encountered a strange boy named Kanata. He cheered Haruka up, and told her to hold onto her dream. Before disappearing he gives her a little trinket known as a Dress-Up Key. Years later, Haruka enters the prestigious Noble Academy, a boarding school for middle school students. While exploring the campus, she encounters a pair of fairy siblings: Puff and Aroma. Claiming to be from the Hope Kingdom, they are on a quest to find the Princess Pretty Cure.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: The world and the Hope Kingdom are saved, but now the three original Cures can no longer return to the Hope Kingdom, nor will they ever be able to see Kanata, Towa, Puff, Aroma, Kuroro, or Miss Shamour ever again. They spend their final day together and then move on with their lives. Towa seemingly takes her mother's place as the queen of Hope Kingdom, Yui publishes her first book, Kirara goes off to model with her mother in Paris, and Minami joins Asuka as a marine biologist. Haruka returns to the very same place where she met Kanata and they reunite one final time. Cue Haruka's tears after he leaves, but then decides to live up to her dreams of becoming a true princess. Years later, the last shot implies she finally meets Kanata again.]]

** Episode 26 focuses on Puff and Aroma as they take care of Towa when she catches a cold, to the point of trying to get rid of a cicada Zetsuborg on her behalf. [[spoiler:They are rewarded by finally earning the titles of Royal Fairy Maid and Butler.]]

* DittoAliens: Averted for the first time in the franchise. Puff and Aroma are the first fairies to look significantly different from each other, despite being brother and sister.

** By Episode 24, there ARE twelve keys in total, but the last three, belonging to Towa/Cure Scarlett were not part of the set. They were created by Dyspear, meaning that there are STILL three more keys that have to be found.

* OddNameOut: Scarlett: The Premium Dress-up keys' names are in Japanese (Sakura, Sango, Ginga), but Scarlett's Sun Key is English. Additionally, Scarlett's Miracle Hanabi Key (meaning fireworks), has a Japanese name, where all other Miracle keys have their names in English. {{Justified|Trope}} as Cure Scarlet is a brand new Cure, with the Keys to match.

** One of Scarlett's standard attacks involve her performing a diving kick lit on fire. Basically, a [[Franchise/SuperSmashBros Falcon Kick]].

** The Cures engage Twilight in Episode 21 and succeed in turning her back into Towa. However, Dyspear continues attacking and in the following episode, she nearly succeeds in defeating the Cures, being thwarted only through Towa becoming Cure Scarlett.

* TutuFancy: As mentioned under ImpracticallyFancyOutfit, Cure Flora wears a GiantWaistRibbon reaching almost to her feet with her Cure costume, and also boots with giant flaps coming from both sides, making said costume a real tripping hazard.

Afterward, the fairies explain that they came from the Hope Kingdom when it was attacked by the Dysdark and its leader, the witch Dyspear. Haruka is surprised to find that the prince of the Hope Kingdom is none other than Kanata. Haruka decides to fight against the Dysdark and find the other Princess Pretty Cure...who just so happen to be at her school. The first is Noble Academy's StudentCouncilPresident Minami Kaido. An elegant and popular girl who finds her Dress-Up Key on the beach, she becomes Cure Mermaid. The second is fashion icon Kirara Amanogawa, who finds both the Dress-Up Key and Perfume in her dressing room. Initially reluctant to be a magical girl, she eventually joins the others as Cure Twinkle. Once the team is finally brought together, Kanata contacts the Precure and asks them to find the nine remaining Dress Up Keys which can save the Hope Kingdom.

* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: "Precure! Princess Engage!"

** During the TransformationSequence, the Precures curtsy after they're fully transformed and before they do their TransformationNameAnnouncement. Fitting, since these Cures have a princess theme.

%%** The ending sequence now has the Precure change into Mode Elegant Premium at the very end. (Uncomment out if you know what exact episode this happened).

->''Go! Princess [=PreCure=]!”''

* TransformationIsAFreeAction: It's implied that the Cures transform instantaneously, with the {{Transformation Sequence}}s being eye-candy for the viewers, as shown in a few instances throughout the series. They don't even need to shout out "Precure! Princess Engage", and only need to insert their keys into their perfumes. Further shown in episode 39, where Haruka [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvXdk8l-SgE almost instantly transforms into Cure Flora]] while using very little StockFootage.

* AnimeHair: Flora's isn't too strange anime-wise, although a messy bun with waist-length hair is a bit of a strange combo. Mermaid's is RapunzelHair that bubbles out at least a foot from her head and during the transformation sequence, appears to start out as an afro. Also has 4 random stray locks coming out of her tiara. Twinkle gets a double set of pig-tails, one smaller than the other set.

->''Aim for your dreams!”''
->''Go! Princess [=PreCure=]!''

->''To be strong, kind and beautiful!''

->''Aim for your dreams!''

** Also true of the first three cures of this season- Flora's blonde, Mermaid's [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair a blunette]], and Twinkle's basically a redhead.

* MulticoloredHair: For the first time, the Cures have more than one color in their hair, in varying amounts, with the most notable being Cure Flora's blonde-to-pink ombre. And they're not the only ones, as seen with Prince Kanata and his pink and purple hair.

** [[spoiler: Later subverted as Twilight is actually the [[HypnotizeThePrincess brainwashed]] Towa, daughter of the legitimate sovereigns of Hope Kingdom. After coming back to her senses, she becomes the fourth Precure and the only born- princess of the team.]]

** This is also not the first series where [[Franchise/SailorMoon a Haruka is paired with a brilliant and graceful magical girl with blue hair, artistic talent, and water-themed powers]], though in this case they're not SchoolgirlLesbians ([[LesYay not that the fandom hasn't noticed intimate moments between them, of course]]).

** Episode 12, [[http://blog-imgs-75.fc2.com/t/e/r/tereterenews/1429400852393.jpg Ranko Ichijou passing out]] during her race with Kirara and turning into a white version of Creator/OsamuDezaki's trademark [[PastelChalkedFreezeFrame postcard memories]] is a [[https://meteorite1932.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/joe-last-comic.jpg reference]] to [[http://blogs.c.yimg.jp/res/blog-21-72/deeplittlen/folder/1516446/99/66180699/img_0 the ending]] of ''Manga/TomorrowsJoe'' in which [[spoiler:Joe dies]]. [[LateArrivalSpoiler Said ending]] [[ItWasHisSled has been]] [[WeirdAlEffect spoofed in so many series]] that it's a very common parody in Japan at this point.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: The Premium Dress-up keys' names are in Japanese (Sakura, Sango, Ginga), but Scarlett's Sun Key is English. Additionally, Scarlett's Miracle Hanabi Key (meaning fireworks), has a Japanese name, where all other Miracle keys have their names in English. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] as Cure Scarlet is a brand new Cure, with the Keys to match.

** The three musketeer's names, Close, Shut, and Lock, all follow the theme of locking something away. They also appear to have additional meanings.

*** Episodes 44 and 45 center around Minami as she struggles to [[MoralDilemma choose between her old dream of entering her family's business and her newfound dream of becoming a marine biologist]]. It ends with [[spoiler: her choosing the latter of the two and reviving the Sea Palace in the Hope Kingdom]].

''Go! Princess [=PreCure=]'' is the twelfth entry in the ''Franchise/PrettyCure'' franchise. It is the tenth separate continuity in the series, and began airing in February 2015.
