->''[[TransformationNameAnnouncement "The flowers spreading throughout the land, Cure Blossom!"]]''

A bookish, shy and introverted nerd who loves flowers. Upon transferring to a new school, she vows to change herself and become more outgoing.

to:

[[index]]
* [[Characters/HeartCatchPrettyCureHeartCatchPrettyCureAndAllies [=HeartCatch=] ActorAllusion: Well, more Artist Allusion to Umakoshi Yoshihiko, who also designed the characters for Anime/OjamajoDoremi. There's a scene where the Cures gain the power of flight, and Tsubomi handles it about as poorly as a certain other pink-haired girl does.
* AssKicksYou: Blossom Butt Punch, to the point of reaching memetic status.
* BadassAdorable: Despite being titled as the "Weakest Pretty Cure In History", Tsubomi has proven herself time and time again that she is worthy of being a Precure, even fighting some of the generals to a standstill and coming up with a lot of attacks.
* BreakoutCharacter: Until they were replaced by a new movie series with a more compact cast, every ''Anime/PrettyCureAllStars'' film since the second one has given speaking roles to Blossom and Marine even after the growing character roster made it difficult to get a RoleReprise for everyone but a select few.
* BreastAttack: Inverted with Double Body Punch, an attack in which she and Cure Marine slam chest-first into the opponent.
* CharacterCatchphrase: "I can't stand it anymore!"/"My bag of tolerance has just snapped!"[[note]]Both are right - "bag of tolerance" is the true translation and matches Tsubomi's use of old phrases, but "I can't stand it anymore!" rolls off the tongue a lot better.[[/note]]
* CharacterDevelopment: One of the focal points in the series. She starts off as introverted then becomes more outgoing as the series continues. Eventually, she discovers that can find her own balance between being introverted and outgoing and accepts her flaws along with her own good points.
* CherryBlossomGirl: Her Pretty Cure motif is cherry blossoms. Her inner world has a cherry blossom tree and lots of flying cherry blossom petals. Also, she has pink hair as Cure Blossom.
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Towards past pink colored Pretty Cures. Lead Cures are often outgoing or passionate {{Genki Girl}}s, while Tsubomi is shy and introverted.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Her pink eyes match her hair when in and outside of Precure form.
* DitzyGenius: In one episode, Tsubomi didn't know what a boss (bansho in Japanese) is and asked Erika to it, much to the latter's chagrin. She also was offended after Erika fainted. However, as far as studying goes, it's not known if Tsubomi is a top grader. At least she is capable to keep up with her studies unlike Erika.
* FillItWithFlowers: In the GrandFinale, she dreams of doing this for [[spoiler: '''other planets''']]! The ''Heartcatch'' novel reveals she's actually going through with it, [[spoiler:studying English so she can attempt to join NASA.]]
--> '''Tsubomi:''' If I can... If I can... I want to make flowers bloom [[spoiler: in the desolate wastes of space]]...
* GirlishPigtails: In civilian form, her hair are shaped in the form of pigtails.
* TheGlassesGottaGo: If Erika is anything to go by, though Tsubomi still wears them from time to time.
* TheHeart: While she is the primary protagonist, Tsubomi is more kind and reclusive, along with the peacekeeper of the Cures.
* HeroicLineage: Her grandmother Kaoruko was Cure Flower in her youth and the only Cure to have defeated Dune alone.
* TheHeroine: Tsubomi is the primary protagonist of the season despite not feeling that way in the beginning of the series.
* ImpliedLoveInterest: She finds one in the movie, in the person of Olivier.
* InformedFlaw: Losing her first battle in Episode 2 had given Tsubomi the title of "Weakest Pretty Cure In History" and that status admittedly held true in the first 4 episodes of the season since she struggled to hold her ground at first, only for that title to be ironically misleading since, starting with Episode 5, her victories start to outweigh her defeats by a far greater number (thanks to her progressing competence and helpfulness as a Pretty Cure), with or without help from her allies and [[spoiler: even before Yuri regained her Pretty Cure powers in Episode 34 and Tsubomi gained the [[MidSeasonUpgrade Super Silhouette Power-Up]] in Episode 38!]]
* InnocentFlowerGirl: She is the first ever shy ''Anime/PrettyCure'' main character.
* LargeHam: Whenever she says "''Ichirin no Ha'''na'''''", calls her attacks or just shouts when attacking with [[spoiler:''Heartcatch Orchestra''.]]
* MeaningfulName: Her first name, which means "flower bud", is at least justified: there was a budding tree by the window of the hospital room where she was born -- also making it a more serious variant of LineOfSightName.
* MegatonPunch: Her sub attack, Blossom Screw Punch, has Blossom collecting her Flower energy into her fist and shoots it out, the energy forming like a cannon at the enemy.
* NiceGirl: She's very friendly and caring towards everyone, even people in her way. That being said, she grows to be more assertive towards her enemies though she'll go out of her way to help everyone.
* OpaqueLenses: When she gets nervous, her glasses get opaque. Given her timid nature, this occurs frequently across the season, especially when Erika's antics flared up.
* PetalPower: While her attacks seem like they're LightEmUp, her energy and her fighting abilities are physically harnessed from the power of the flowers and the Heart Tree.
* PinkHeroine: Like [[Anime/FreshPrettyCure Cure Peach]] behind her and [[Anime/SuitePrettyCure Cure Melody]] after her, Cure Blossom is the lead Cure and decked out head to toe in carnation pink.
* PinkMeansFeminine: She wears pink and generally acts feminine: shy, weak, and reclusive, though through CharacterDevelopment, she accepts that part of her as long as she gets stronger in her heart.
* RaisedByGrandparents: Played with. During her early years, her parents would leave on long business trips which led to her being taken care of by her grandmother. But in her early teens, when her mom and dad saw her crying over them leaving, they decided to remodify their career plans so they can spend more time with Tsubomi.
* RedOniBlueOni: The shy and reclusive blue to Erika's energetic and loud red, contrary to their color schemes.
* RoseHairedSweetie: She definitely fits the trope, except she's shy, but gradually grows more confident later on.
* ShrinkingViolet: She's very shy and introverted, especially at the beginning of the series. This is in stark contrast to most other ''Pretty Cure'' leads, who are usually outgoing, passionate {{Genki Girl}}s.
* SlipknotPonytail: A first for the franchise. In TheMovie, she takes a hit meant for Olivier, the blast removing her hairbow. Her loose hair helps pull Olivier out of his SuperpoweredEvilSide.
* StepfordSmiler: [[spoiler:Throughout her childhood, her parents would often leave her to go overseas on work-related business. Though Tsubomi put up a brave face, she was secretly heartbroken at their absence. Eventually her parents found this out, and they immediately stopped travelling]].
* TranslationConvention: Concerning her catchphrase - the true translation is "My bag of tolerance has just snapped!", but because it seems so weird despite being in-character for her, many fansubs go with the easier "I have had enough!".
* ThinksLikeARomanceNovel: She considers love to be SeriousBusiness and tends to be quite GenreSavvy and very melodramatically towards romance matters, as seen in her reactions to her "first love" towards Itsuki during episode 7, and ''especially'' in episode 12, in which [[ShipperOnDeck she jumps aboard the Yuuto/Risa ship]] the moment she finds out Yuuto has a girlfriend, and even stages a plan to get them closer during the joint Hanasaki/Kurumi family barbecue, demonstrating it to Erika and her father by using Chypre and Coffret as puppets representing the couple.
-->"A heartbeat of fear could be easily mistaken for a heartbeat of love!"
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Suffers from acrophobia, which is on full display when she first dons the Cure Mantle and only calms down enough to handle it when Itsuki takes her hand. As Cure Blossom, she doesn't show this, though it could be because she has more pressing concerns or her powers can handle it. [[spoiler:In the 2015 novel, it's revealed she wants to join NASA to help with her phobia so she can go into space.]]

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cure_marine.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:[[labelnote:Click here to see her as a civilian]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/erika_kurumi.png]][[/labelnote]]

->''"The flower that flutters in the ocean winds, Cure Marine!"''

A brash and extroverted fashionista. Though energetic and sincere, she often fails to consider the feelings of others.
----
* ActionGirl: Combined with her GenkiGirl attributes, Marine is a powerful and strong Precure, even fighting a barrage of Mooks on her own without her own and clashes with Kumojacky, the strongest of the General Apostles whenever they fight. Her first reaction to facing one of Dune's Messengers (who are 50 foot abombinations) was to face it head on!
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Erika always confident and acts like a gigantic wave of water that can mow down anything that gets in her way. Appropriately, her elemental power is water and she creates a lot of powerful sub attacks, and she has [[ElementalHairColors wavy blue hair]] in both her civilian form and as a Cure.
* AssKicksYou: She would sometimes use Blossom's Butt Punch in tandem with her.
* BadassAdorable: She doesn't even think twice before punching men and monsters twice her size in the face. Her fight with Kumojacky in episode 46 practically solidifies her as this.
* BreakoutCharacter: Erika is ''insanely'' popular for a non-Pink Cure, going so far as rank third place among all the heroines in the 2019 NHK mega-poll and only losing out to [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure the original duo of Nagisa and Honoka]]. Tellingly, like Tsubomi, every ''Anime/PrettyCureAllStars'' film gave her a speaking role, when most secondary Cure's ended up rendered TheVoiceless.
* BreastAttack: Inverted with Double Body Punch, an attack in which she and Cure Blossom slam chest-first into the opponent.
* CharacterCatchphrase: Early on, she had trouble coming up with a limit phrase to match Tsubomi's, When she realizes that she must save her older sister Momoka, who was turned into a MonsterOfTheWeek [[GreenEyedMonster due to her jealousy of Erika's normal life]], Erika finally manages to figure out her own phrase: "Even if my heart is larger than the sea, this is over my limit!"
* CharacterDevelopment: Started off as an abrasive and insensitive girl who was unpopular. Then after becoming friends with Tsubomi, she cools down and becomes more easygoing, flexible and less aggressive. This extends more to her being jealous towards her older sister, but eventually learns that her sister also envies her and lightens up towards her.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: In both civilian and Cure forms, she has bright blue hair and matching eyes.
* TheFashionista: As the leader of the Fashion Club and the creator of many outfits for the other clubs projects, this was a given.
* ForeheadOfDoom: While her forehead is usually hidden by her parted bangs, she has an attack that consists of a forehead equivalent to Cure Blossom's memetic AssKicksYou move.
* HotBlooded: Yes, the ''water-elemental'' character is this.
* GenkiGirl: ''Very much so''. She is arguably the most energetic Precure in the series, and it shows.
* GenreSavvy: To the extent that she begins to think about what Cure name she would choose upon realizing that she might become a Cure herself. She remains the only Cure in the franchise who thought up a name for their Cure form before becoming a Cure themselves.
* GreenEyedMonster: Her jealousy of Momoka's success as a model earns her VictimOfTheWeek status in the first episode. Later, in episode 8, Momoka herself turns out to be jealous of the normal life Erika leads.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Her eccentric (and somewhat {{Jerkass}}) personality was a result of her trying to distance herself from her sister, since Erika was jealous of her overwhelming success as a modeler. While she soon grows out her vendetta, Erika still keeps her eccentric personality.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Her biggest flaw is that while she's ultimately a good person, she usually doesn't consider other people's feelings and has a tendency to bulldoze her way into their lives whether they want her to or not. After becoming friends with Tsubomi, she starts to become more easygoing.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: More than often than not she acts like a BrattyHalfPint, but is always there for her friends.
* TheLancer: The assertive, annoying, and energetic to Tsubomi's shy, kind, and doubtful. Despite starting out on shaky terms, she and Tsubomi end up on good terms and backs up her new best friend no matter what.
* LargeHam: Erika is very overactive and loves hamming it up.
* MakingASplash: Many of her sub-attacks are based on water.
* NoIndoorVoice: In one episode she gets shushed 3 separate times for yelling in a library.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: One of Erika's flaws is that she gets up in people's face regardless of this situation. At times she ends up too confrontational, which leads to her and Tsubomi's first interactions being less positive than what she imagined.
* PluckyGirl: When you're not the [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Dai-Gurren-dan]], the proper reaction to seeing a giant EldritchAbomination from outer space pummeling your planet with impunity is to tremble in despair. However, Erika instead decides that the Cures must fight it, [[RefugeInAudacity what with being "14-year old beautiful superheroines"]].
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Tsubomi's blue.
* UseYourHead: Her Pretty Cure Forehead Punch is actually a headbutt.
* WaterIsBlue: As Cure Marine, she has a lot of water attacks and like her outfit come out as blue streams.
* WaterIsWomanly: Of the more temperamental ones, but she is Cure Marine and a sincere, girly fashionista.

->''"The flower that bathes in the sunlight, Cure Sunshine!"''

The [[{{Bifauxnen}} androgynous]] StudentCouncilPresident who acts masculine in order to continue the martial traditions of her family in place of her feeble older brother. Despite this, she adores cute things and wishes she could show her feminine side more freely.
----
* BadassNormal: She's quite the accomplished martial artist and even fought back against Cobraja and Kumojacky respectively in two episodes.
* BarrierWarrior: She has the ability to cast a sunflower-shaped barrier.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: Looks so androgynous that both Tsubomi and Cobraja are fooled into thinking she's a dude, and are shocked upon learning.
* TheBigGirl: Thanks to her martial arts training, she's physically the strongest of the three and with her barriers, she serves as a fast moving, hard hitting, powerful defense that can do way more damage than the other Cures individually. Even Moonlight's arsenal isn't as much as Sunshine's despite being overall stronger than her.
* BishieSparkle: In episode 7 from Tsubomi's perspective, complete with LoveBubbles and a flowery background at one point.
* CharacterCatchphrase: "I will heal the darkness in your heart with my light!" And to a lesser extent, [[CutenessProximity "How cute!"]]
* CustomUniform: Her school uniform is different from the other boys, mostly due to her status as granddaughter of the principal.
* CutenessProximity: Normally quite reserved, but get her anywhere near dolls or cute clothing, and it's a different story, to the point where "How cute!" might as well be her ''other'' catchphrase.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Spends a while as a BadassNormal before becoming a Cure.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Tsubomi and a lot of other girls are in love with her since she looks like a boy. Even after Tsubomi finds out that he is a girl, she still shows signs of affection later on.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: [[spoiler:After the brief TimeSkip in episode 49, she grows her hair out somewhat and starts wearing the female uniform.]]
* GirlinessUpgrade: As the series goes on, she becomes more open about her love of cute things, dolls up for the school fashion show and [[spoiler:eventually grows her hair out a bit and starts wearing the female uniform.]] Still, she remains as athletic and interested in martial arts as ever.
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: Episode 15 reveals that she has a pretty good-sized collection of them, which she keeps hidden away.
* GoldMakesEverythingShiny: Her Pretty Cure costume includes a gold lamé chest ribbon.
* HeirToTheDojo: Her sick brother wasn't expected to make it before his surgery in episode 23, so she was expected to carry on the family's martial arts tradition.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Her gender and Cure identity.
* MagicMissileStorm: Gold Forte Burst, her unique take on the [[FinishingMove Forte Wave]]
* PowerMakesYourHairGrow: While this happens to almost all Cures, she takes it to the biggest extent, going from a very short bob haircut to waist-length GirlishPigtails when transformed.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: Literally. As Cure Sunshine, her attacks encapsulates the power and brightness of the sun in her strengths and attacks. Her debut even made the sun come out while in the rain.
* RealWomenDontWearDresses: She doesn't ''like'' dressing and acting like a boy, but thinks she can't be respected as a martial artist otherwise. Spending time as a superhero literally empowered by a super-girly outfit makes her realize it's a compromise she doesn't have to make.
* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: She's in her school uniform most of the time, even if she's out of school. That is, unless Erika forces her into [[http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/5167/itsukifiles02.jpg the yellow tunic]]...
* SheCleansUpNicely: Seeing her girled-up makes that much of a difference.
* SixthRanger: Suspected for a long while, confirmed [[TrailersAlwaysSpoil in the most blatant way possible]] [[PostEpisodeTrailer after episode 22]].
* StudentCouncilPresident: Itsuki is the student council president and she takes her job seriously. However, she's very supportive and help of each club and she is not as strict as her vice president, her escorts, or the traditional president stereotypes.
* TomboyAngst: Itsuki doesn't enjoy coming off like a boy--not that she's ''incapable'' of appearing feminine, rather she feels obligated to act that way as the HeirToTheDojo, but it's still a burden to her.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The tomboy to Tsubomi and Erika's girly girls.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Despite her appearance, she still has a lot of girly hobbies. Ultimately, she turns out to be more of a GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak, as most (but not all) of her masculine traits are an affectation.
* UnsettlingGenderReveal: Tsubomi is pretty upset when she learns that Itsuki is actually a girl during episode 7. Cobraja, on the other hand, is flat-out shocked.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: [[spoiler:That is, until the timeskip.]]

->''"The flower that shines in the moon's light, Cure Moonlight!"''

The former Cure Moonlight, who was defeated and BroughtDownToNormal by Dark Pretty Cure before the events of the series. Though quiet, mature and intellectual, she harbours a deep sadness within her heart, unable to forgive herself for her past failures. She eventually regains her resolve to fight and becomes Cure Moonlight once more.
----
* ActionGirl: Quite possibly the coolest Cure ''ever''. [[BadassNormal Being unable to transform didn't stop her from jumping into danger]], as seen in episode 13. Also shown in ''[[Anime/PrettyCureAllStars All Stars DX3]]'' when everyone else ran off to make space for three monsters that just popped up to squish the cures, she just stood there and whacked the monsters into oblivion before they even touched the ground.
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Has the darkest hair, tallest of the active Cures and is mostly serious and aloof.
* BadassBookworm: She usually ranks at top of her class, and still wipes the floor with the Desertrians with utter ease. In fact, in the ''DX 3'' 'mini-game' situation, her mini-game is 'Studying'.
* BadassCreed: ''"Friendship... Love... A lot of emotions... Pain... Sadness... I will fight for them!!"'' When Yuri said this, [[PreAssKickingOneLiner she's ready to kick major ass]]. She said this quite frequently, but not enough to count as a catchphrase.
* BadassLongcoat: She's the first Cure to actually have a dress-like form.
* BarrierWarrior: Less so than Sunshine, but shows some inclinations.
* BrokenBird: She's a former magical girl who's introduced as somber, lonely, and cold. Over time, it's revealed [[spoiler:she used to work solo even without the help of her Fairy just to carry all the burden of battle herself, doing all this with a smile in her face. Thanks to that, her Fairy died protecting her, in front of her, she lost a very important battle and ended up unable to transform into a Precure anymore]]. She gets better eventually, then temporarily down again, then better for good.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Thanks to being defeated by Dark Precure, she loses her ability to transform. She gets better, of course.
* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:Turns out to be the Abel to Dark Cure's Cain, after the revelation that Dark Cure was created by her father]].
* CoolBigSis: At age 17, she's the oldest active Cure, and the third-oldest both in the ''Heartcatch'' continuity (behind Cure Flower and Cure Ange from the movie series) and the ''Anime/PrettyCure'' franchise as a whole (behind 18 year old [[Anime/HirogaruSkyPrettyCure Cure Butterfly]] and 20 year old [[Anime/HealinGoodPrettyCure Cure Earth]]).

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Purple hair and purple eyes.
* DarkMagicalGirl: While firmly being on the side of Good, she has some shades of this. She must deal with her loneliness and a great deal of bitterness in her life. If she's [[Franchise/LyricalNanoha Fate]], Tsubomi is [[Franchise/LyricalNanoha Nanoha]]. (No irony intended.)
* DisappearedDad: Her father has been missing ever since he began looking for the Heart Tree. [[spoiler:She does find him again, but he turns out to be Sabaaku]].
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Subverted. Cologne calls her Cure Moonlight, even when she's just Yuri.
* FashionableAsymmetry: As Cure Moonlight, her outfit is asymmmetrical, but by no means does she have trouble wearing it.
* FlowerMotifs: Lilies, which are shown through her name and her Heart Flower.
* ForeheadOfDoom: Yuri has quite a huge forehead.
* FriendToAllChildren: One of the few hints that she's more than the cold fish she was presented as in the earlier parts of the story is that she really knows how to be friendly and caring towards children. One focus episode after she returns being Moonlight also has her actually getting along with the daycare children better than the daycare owner (although it caused frustration to the owner to the point she got turned into a Desertrian).
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: She has purple hair in both forms and a violet-accented Cure outfit, and is a LadyOfWar admired by her teammates for her elegance.
* HeroicBSOD: She suffers one before the series after she is defeated by Dark Precure, and it takes her almost the entire series to get over it.
* HesBack: Getting her ability to transform back and a pep talk from Cologne inspires her to rejoin the fight with her confidence restored.
* HidingBehindYourBangs: Sometimes as Cure Moonlight her right eye is covered by her hair, fitting for her aloof and recluse nature.
* IneffectualLoner: Her main character flaw, in the "I'll take on all the responsibility so no one else has to" sense. It indirectly leads to [[spoiler:Cologne]]'s death, after she overestimates her power against a two-on-one disadvantage and rejects his advice to find teammates to even the odds.
* ILetGwenStacyDie: She is in constant emotional grief after her FatalFlaw gets Cologne killed. While part of her CharacterDevelopment revolves around her accepting Cologne's death, the pain still lingers in her heart especially when [[spoiler: episodes 47 and 48 reveals what really happened to her father.]]
* LadyOfWar: Keeps her cool and sense of gracefulness even when beating up enemies with GoodOldFisticuffs.
%% * LargeHam: ''Kyua MUUUUUUUNNRAITO!''
* {{Lunacy}}: Her powers are associated and are strengthened from moonlight.
* MeaningfulName: Her surname literally means "moon shadow" and her first name is also the Japanese name for the lily flower, which is also her Heart Flower.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Purple is one of her two theme colors, alongside silver. She's also the strongest Cure of the group, due to being older and more experienced than the others.
* TheSmartGirl: She subverts this trope as she's the strongest of the four, she has more power, but plays it straight because she's the most experienced, knowledgeable, and intelligent of the three.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: She wears glasses and is experienced as well as having the highest grades in her class.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Acted like an EmotionlessGirl at first, but was later shown to be more guarded than anything. She [[DefrostingIceQueen defrosts a bit]] after joining the team.
* WhenSheSmiles: Seeing Yuri smile or laugh is very rare, but when she does, its is heartwarming.
* WrongGenreSavvy: She thought she could get by being overly powerful and going solo. Unfortunately for her, in ''Anime/PrettyCure'' series, you need to trust your friends a lot, thus she ended up utterly failing and losing her [[spoiler:Fairy and]] ability to become Cure Moonlight, [[BrokenBird with the emotional baggage to go]], at the beginning of the series.

The yellow General. A devious schemer who usually carries an air of smug self-confidence, but can become vicious and petty if provoked.

* BareYourMidriff: Her outfit opens up a lot to the imagination.

She's not the strongest of the three, but is very manipulative towards the VictimOfTheWeek, has a more unique moveset compared to Kumojacky's brute force and Cobraja's cards, and [[spoiler: is the first villain to undergo a HeelFaceTurn]].
* DarkSkinnedRedHead: She has red-haired and she has dark skin, which [[spoiler:is still present when she is purified and goes back to her human phase]].
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:'Dies' in Kumojacky's arms, after thanking Kumojacky and Cobraja for being there for her]]

* GoOutWithASmile: She is purified with a smile at the end of episode 40, now filled with happiness and is reborn.

----
* AdorableEvilMinions: The Snackeys act way more precocious than evil.

* MeaningfulName: "''Suna''" means "sand", which they seem to be filled with (in addition to serving a desert-themed evil organization). The "cky" part of "Sunacky" could come from "[[{{Mooks}} lackey(s)]]", and it could also reference how "''ki''" is [[PokemonSpeak the only sound they can make]].
* {{Mooks}}: The foot solider for this season, each coming in different forms and sizes.
* MookMedic: A non-gaming example. They patch up other Snackeys (with tape) whenever they're leaking sand.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Living ninja-looking sandbags that also kinda look and act like monkeys.
* SkySurfing: Their lack of mass helps them float and maneuver better in the air.

* CuteIsEvil: His first form is one of a little boy. Unfortunately, he's the show's true BigBad.
* DiabolusExNihilo: He is not mentioned until the latter half of the series and doesn't even show up properly until the last few episodes.

!!The Three Generals
[[folder:In General]]
A trio that leads the ground invasion of the Desert Apostles. Their main duty is to wilt the Heart Flowers of humans, which would hasten the death of the Heart Tree. To do this, they can extract wilting Heart Flowers from humans and transform them into berserking monsters known as Desertrians, catalysing the wilting process.
----
* CastFromHitPoints: The Dark Bracelets actually drain from their energy, but as long as they use one, it's not much of a problem. If a general uses three however…
* BreakingSpeech: They deliver hurtful speeches to break HeroicSpirit OncePerEpisode, always countered by the heroines KirkSummation.
* FusionDance: With the Dark Bracelets, they can fuse with the MonstersOfTheWeek to accelerate the wilting process of the Heart Flowers, making the Desertrians stronger. Episode 44 proves there is no limitation for a Desertrian to fuse with only one general.

* MidSeasonUpgrade: In episode 31, they receive the Dark Bracelets from Professor Sabaaku, that not only allow them to fuse with the MonstersOfTheWeek, the Dark Bracelets also empowers the generals.

* TerribleTrio: They consist of three generals.
* TrueCompanions: They respect each other and they would save each other, unless it's too late.
* WasOnceAMan: [[spoiler:They are created from three Heart Flowers.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Mostly noticed in episode 7, where he licks Itsuki's Heart Flower and, after a while, getting notified that Itsuki's [[UnsettlingGenderReveal actually a girl]]. His reaction is [[http://abload.de/img/2qmqat5adkqw.gif quite funny, actually]]. However, he does find Itsuki attractive as Cure Sunshine.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: His relentless self-obsession and tendency to shirk duties for the sake of his beauty regimen do nothing to stop him from being a dangerous opponent. He's also clever enough to see kids worrying about summer homework in episode 28 as a potential army of Desertrians.
* {{Bishonen}}: Obviously and as a narcissist, he invokes and believes this a lot.
* BlueOni: To Kumojaki's red.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Blue in his hair and eyes.

The yellow General. A devious schemer who usually carries an air of smug self-confidence, but can become vicious and petty if provoked.
----
* ACupAngst: In the first episodes, she looks jealous when she meets Tsubomi, who seems to have a ridiculously large bust (actually Chypre and Coffret are hiding under Tsubomi's shirt).
* AmbiguouslyBrown: She's dark-skinned but also Japanese.
* AnimalMotif: Scorpions.
* BareYourMidriff: Her outfit opens up a lot to the imagination.
* BewareMyStingerTail: Capable of turning her [[PrehensileHair hair]] into a stinging scorpion's tail.
* MagicSkirt: It doesn't help her combat wise though.
* DarkChick: The only female general of the Desert Apostles with the exception of [[TheDragon Dark Precure]]. She's not the strongest of the three, but is very manipulative towards the VictimOfTheWeek, has a more unique moveset compared to Kumojacky's brute force and Cobraja's cards, and [[spoiler: is the first villain to undergo a HeelFaceTurn]].
* DarkSkinnedRedHead: She has red-haired and she has dark skin, which [[spoiler:is still present when she is purified and goes back to her human phase]].
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:'Dies' in Kumojacky's arms, after thanking Kumojacky and Cobraja for being there for her]]
* EvilRedhead: Sasorina's red hair only emphasizes her wicked, evil and deceptive nature. This slowly starts to change, but she still is a General of the Desert Apostles.
* FieryRedhead: Sasorina is a ginger and she is very quick to act and get angry, especially when Cure Blossom or Cure Sunshine are involved.
* GoOutWithASmile: She is purified with a smile at the end of episode 40, now filled with happiness and is reborn.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: She seemed to be tilting towards a change of heart after getting hit by Gold Forte Burst. It was promptly reverted after she received her Dark Bracelet. [[spoiler:She is fully purified in episode 40 and returns to her human host, functionally completing a HeelFaceTurn.]]
* InformedAbility: Her scorpion-tail-hair is poisoned, but she never poisons someone.
* LaughablyEvil: Her, Cobraja and the Snackeys are basically the comedy relief of the villain's side.
* LettingHerHairDown: In episode 27, 40 and afterward.
* MeaningfulName: 'Sasori' means 'scorpion'.
* PhraseCatcher: "Ah! A weird person!" from her victims.

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Sasorina is the only woman within the Apostles if you don't count Dark Precure.
* {{Stripperific}}: Her outfit is very revealing and she invokes this a lot. Hence why she gets jealous when someone becomes more attractive than her.

----
* AdorableEvilMinions: The Snackeys act way more precocious than evil.
* AlienBlood: They leak sand when injured. They're probably made of it.
* AmbiguousGender: It's quite possible they're genderless, judging from the fact that they're basically sentient sandbags.
* CuteIsEvil: The Snackeys are very cute, their antics and villainy are more hilarious than violent or effective, and they are mostly harmless. Their downfall was working for Dune.
* DarkIsEvil: Played straight, a purified Snackey is white.
* HenchmenRace: Arguably. It's never stated ''where'' they came from, or how they were created.
* KingMook: Super Snackeys.
* LaughablyEvil: Most of the time they're very harmless and on both sides, they're seen as a joke or good for laughs.
* MeaningfulName: "''Suna''" means "sand", which they seem to be filled with (in addition to serving a desert-themed evil organization). The "cky" part of "Sunacky" could come from "[[{{Mooks}} lackey(s)]]", and it could also reference how "''ki''" is [[PokemonSpeak the only sound they can make]].
* {{Mooks}}: The foot solider for this season, each coming in different forms and sizes.
* MookMedic: A non-gaming example. They patch up other Snackeys (with tape) whenever they're leaking sand.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Living ninja-looking sandbags that also kinda look and act like monkeys.
* SkySurfing: Their lack of mass helps them float and maneuver better in the air.
* TheUnintelligible: Communicate entirely in monkey-like squeaking noises. [[IntelligibleUnintelligible The Apostles can understand them]], though.

* EldritchAbomination: Nasty, demonic {{EliteMook}}s with [[WalkingWasteland the power to kill an entire planet]].

* EvilSoundsDeep: They're Dune's EliteMooks and they sound deep thanks to Creator/TakanoriHoshino's voice.
* GiantMook: Not that the Pretty Cures can't defeat them.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Their appearance has their eyes [[RedEyesTakeWarning glowing red]].
* LateArrivalSpoiler: They are shown in the first two versions of the opening despite the Desert Devil appearing in Episode 37.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Does "devil" sound like a good name to anyone?
* ObviouslyEvil: They're huge and menacing in appearances and are working for Dune.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Their eyes are devilish red and are more dangerous than the MonsterOfTheWeek.
* SinisterSilhouettes: Subverted. They really look like that.
* TheVoiceless: They grunt, but they never speak. It's doubtful whether they could.
* WalkingWasteland: What they cause. Their debut episode shows Dune casually dropping one onto a planet and it gets terraformed into a desert almost instantly.

His reaction is [[http://abload.de/img/2qmqat5adkqw.gif quite funny, actually]]. However, he does find Itsuki attractive as Cure Sunshine.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: His relentless self-obsession and tendency to shirk duties for the sake of his beauty regimen do nothing to stop him from being a dangerous opponent. He's also clever enough to see kids worrying about summer homework in episode 28 as a potential army of Desertrians.

She's not the strongest of the three, but is very manipulative towards the VictimOfTheWeek, has a more unique moveset compared to Kumojacky's brute force and Cobraja's cards, and [[spoiler: is the first villain to undergo a HeelFaceTurn]].
* DarkSkinnedRedHead: She has red-haired and she has dark skin, which [[spoiler:is still present when she is purified and goes back to her human phase]].
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:'Dies' in Kumojacky's arms, after thanking Kumojacky and Cobraja for being there for her]]

* GoOutWithASmile: She is purified with a smile at the end of episode 40, now filled with happiness and is reborn.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/evto_emu0aafhxb.jpg]]

Extremely powerful and giant monsters sent by Dune which turn the planet into deserts.
----
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatEver: They are gigantic and one most largest named ''Anime/PrettyCure'' monsters who have ever appeared (not counting the {{Big Bad}}s).
* DarkIsEvil: They are completely black.
* TheDreaded: The MassOhCrap the Precure have in response to seeing one is very much justified given their [[WalkingWasteland nature]].
* EldritchAbomination: Nasty, demonic {{EliteMook}}s with [[WalkingWasteland the power to kill an entire planet]].
* EliteMook: They're a much higher threat than the bog standard Desertian. It takes all four of the Precure with mantles to even take one down.
* EnemyToAllLivingThings: They turn planets into desert whenever they arrive there.
* EvilSoundsDeep: They're Dune's EliteMooks and they sound deep thanks to Creator/TakanoriHoshino's voice.
* GiantMook: Not that the Pretty Cures can't defeat them.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Their appearance has their eyes [[RedEyesTakeWarning glowing red]].
* LateArrivalSpoiler: They are shown in the first two versions of the opening despite the Desert Devil appearing in Episode 37.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Does "devil" sound like a good name to anyone?
* ObviouslyEvil: They're huge and menacing in appearances and are working for Dune.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Their eyes are devilish red and are more dangerous than the MonsterOfTheWeek.
* SinisterSilhouettes: Subverted. They really look like that.
* TheVoiceless: They grunt, but they never speak. It's doubtful whether they could.
* WalkingWasteland: What they cause. Their debut episode shows Dune casually dropping one onto a planet and it gets terraformed into a desert almost instantly.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: He was called Loup-Garou (means "werewolf" in French) by Salamander, but Tsubomi decides to call him Olivier, the same name as the flower in his heart.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Thanks to the Baron's crystal, he has the ability to turn into a werewolf whenever the full moon's out. It looks very different from a traditional werewolf, having glowing blue hair, red FacialMarkings, and more closely resembling a feral humanoid than a wolf.
* PerpetualFrowner: Has a hard time smiling.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Wears a white scarf.

* ActorAllusion: Well, more Artist Allusion to Umakoshi Yoshihiko, who also designed the characters for Anime/OjamajoDoremi. There's a scene where the Cures gain the power of flight, and Tsubomi handles it about as poorly as a certain other pink-haired girl does.
* AssKicksYou: Blossom Butt Punch, to the point of reaching memetic status.
* BadassAdorable: Despite being titled as the "Weakest Pretty Cure In History", Tsubomi has proven herself time and time again that she is worthy of being a Precure, even fighting some of the generals to a standstill and coming up with a lot of attacks.
* BreakoutCharacter: Until they were replaced by a new movie series with a more compact cast, every ''Anime/PrettyCureAllStars'' film since the second one has given speaking roles to Blossom and Marine even after the growing character roster made it difficult to get a RoleReprise for everyone but a select few.
* BreastAttack: Inverted with Double Body Punch, an attack in which she and Cure Marine slam chest-first into the opponent.
* CatchPhrase: "I can't stand it anymore!"/"My bag of tolerance has just snapped!"[[note]]Both are right - "bag of tolerance" is the true translation and matches Tsubomi's use of old phrases, but "I can't stand it anymore!" rolls off the tongue a lot better.[[/note]]
* CharacterDevelopment: One of the focal points in the series. She starts off as introverted then becomes more outgoing as the series continues. Eventually, she discovers that can find her own balance between being introverted and outgoing and accepts her flaws along with her own good points.
* CherryBlossomGirl: Her Pretty Cure motif is cherry blossoms. Her inner world has a cherry blossom tree and lots of flying cherry blossom petals. Also, she has pink hair as Cure Blossom.
* TheChick: While she is the primary protagonist, Tsubomi is the more of the, kind, and the reclusive type. Despite this, the fact that she is TheHeart is one of her biggest strengths as a character.
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Towards past pink colored Pretty Cures. Lead Cures are often outgoing or passionate {{Genki Girl}}s, while Tsubomi is shy and introverted.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Her pink eyes match her hair when in and outside of Precure form.
* DitzyGenius: In one episode, Tsubomi didn't know what a boss (bansho in Japanese) is and asked Erika to it, much to the latter's chagrin. She also was offended after Erika fainted. However, as far as studying goes, it's not known if Tsubomi is a top grader. At least she is capable to keep up with her studies unlike Erika.
* FillItWithFlowers: In the GrandFinale, she dreams of doing this for [[spoiler: '''other planets''']]! The ''Heartcatch'' novel reveals she's actually going through with it, [[spoiler:studying English so she can attempt to join NASA.]]
--> '''Tsubomi:''' If I can… If I can… I want to make flowers bloom [[spoiler: in the desolate wastes of space]]…
* GirlishPigtails: In civilian form, her hair are shaped in the form of pigtails.
* TheGlassesGottaGo: If Erika is anything to go by, though Tsubomi still wears them from time to time.
* HeroicLineage: Her grandmother Kaoruko was Cure Flower in her youth and the only Cure to have defeated Dune alone.
* TheHeroine: Tsubomi is the primary protagonist of the season despite not feeling that way in the beginning of the series.
* ImpliedLoveInterest: She finds one in the movie, in the person of Olivier.
* InformedFlaw: Losing her first battle in Episode 2 had given Tsubomi the title of "Weakest Pretty Cure In History" and that status admittedly held true in the first 4 episodes of the season since she struggled to hold her ground at first, only for that title to be ironically misleading since, starting with Episode 5, her victories start to outweigh her defeats by a far greater number (thanks to her progressing competence and helpfulness as a Pretty Cure), with or without help from her allies and [[spoiler: even before Yuri regained her Pretty Cure powers in Episode 34 and Tsubomi gained the [[MidSeasonUpgrade Super Silhouette Power-Up]] in Episode 38!]]
* InnocentFlowerGirl: She is the first ever shy ''Anime/PrettyCure'' main character.
* LargeHam: Whenever she says "''Ichirin no Ha'''na'''''", calls her attacks or just shouts when attacking with [[spoiler:''Heartcatch Orchestra''.]]
* MeaningfulName: Her first name, which means "flower bud", is at least justified: there was a budding tree by the window of the hospital room where she was born — also making it a more serious variant of LineOfSightName.
* MegatonPunch: Her sub attack, Blossom Screw Punch, has Blossom collecting her Flower energy into her fist and shoots it out, the energy forming like a cannon at the enemy.
* NiceGirl: Oh yes! She's very friendly and caring towards everyone, even people in her way. That being said, she grows to be more assertive towards her enemies though she'll go out of her way to help everyone.
* OpaqueLenses: When she gets nervous, her glasses get opaque. Given her timid nature, this occurs frequently across the season, especially when Erika’s antics flared up.
* PetalPower: While her attacks seem like they're LightEmUp, her energy and her fighting abilities are physically harnessed from the power of the flowers and the Heart Tree
* PinkMeansFeminine: She wears pink and generally acts feminine: shy, weak, and reclusive, though through CharacterDevelopment, she accepts that part of her as long as she gets stronger in her heart.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Erika's red, contrary to their color schemes.
* RoseHairedSweetie: She definitely fits the trope, except she's shy, but gradually grows more confident later on.
* ShrinkingViolet: She's very shy and introverted, especially at the beginning of the series. This is in stark contrast to most other ''Pretty Cure'' leads, who are usually outgoing, passionate {{Genki Girl}}s.
* SlipknotPonytail: A first for the franchise. In TheMovie, she takes a hit meant for Olivier, the blast removing her hairbow. Her loose hair helps pull Olivier out of his SuperpoweredEvilSide.
* StepfordSmiler: [[spoiler:Throughout her childhood, her parents would often leave her to go overseas on work-related business. Though Tsubomi put up a brave face, she was secretly heartbroken at their absence. Eventually her parents found this out, and they immediately stopped travelling]].
* TranslationConvention: Concerning her catchphrase - the true translation is "My bag of tolerance has just snapped!", but because it seems so weird despite being in-character for her, many fansubs go with the easier "I have had enough!".
* ThinksLikeARomanceNovel: She considers love to be SeriousBusiness and tends to be quite GenreSavvy and very melodramatically towards romance matters, as seen in her reactions to her "first love" towards Itsuki during episode 7, and ''especially'' in episode 12, in which [[ShipperOnDeck she jumps aboard the Yuuto/Risa ship]] the moment she finds out Yuuto has a girlfriend, and even stages a plan to get them closer during the joint Hanasaki/Kurumi family barbecue, demonstrating it to Erika and her father by using Chypre and Coffret as puppets representing the couple.
-->"A heartbeat of fear could be easily mistaken for a heartbeat of love!"
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Suffers from acrophobia, which is on full display when she first dons the Cure Mantle and only calms down enough to handle it when Itsuki takes her hand. As Cure Blossom, she doesn't show this, though it could be because she has more pressing concerns or her powers can handle it.

* ActionGirl: Combined with her GenkiGirl attributes, Marine is a powerful and strong Precure, even fighting a barrage of Mooks on her own without her own and clashes with Kumojacky, the strongest of the General Apostles whenever they fight. Her first reaction to facing one of Dune's Messengers (who are 50 foot abombinations) was to face it head on!
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Erika always confident and acts like a gigantic wave of water that can mow down anything that gets in her way. Appropriately, her elemental power is water and she creates a lot of powerful sub attacks, and she has [[ElementalHairColors wavy blue hair]] in both her civilian form and as a Cure.
* AssKicksYou: She would sometimes use Blossom's Butt Punch in tandem with her.
* BadassAdorable: She doesn't even think twice before punching men and monsters twice her size in the face. Her fight with Kumojacky in episode 46 practically solidifies her as this.
* BreakoutCharacter: Until they were replaced by a new movie series with a more compact cast, every ''Anime/PrettyCureAllStars'' film since the second one has given speaking roles to Blossom and Marine even after the growing character roster made it difficult to get a RoleReprise for everyone but a select few.

* CatchPhrase: Early on, she had trouble coming up with a limit phrase to match Tsubomi's, When she realizes that she must save her older sister Momoka, who was turned into a MonsterOfTheWeek [[GreenEyedMonster due to her jealousy of Erika's normal life]], Erika finally manages to figure out her own phrase: "Even if my heart is larger than the sea, this is over my limit!"
* CharacterDevelopment: Started off as an abrasive and insensitive girl who was unpopular. Then after becoming friends with Tsubomi, she cools down and becomes more easygoing, flexible and less aggressive. This extends more to her being jealous towards her older sister, but eventually learns that her sister also envies her and lightens up towards her.

* GreenEyedMonster: Her jealousy of Momoka's success as a model earns her VictimOfTheWeek status in the first episode. Later, in episode 8, Momoka herself turns out to be jealous of the normal life Erika leads.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Her eccentric (and somewhat {{Jerkass}}) personality was a result of her trying to distance herself from her sister, since Erika was jealous of her overwhelming success as a modeler. While she soon grows out her vendetta, Erika still keeps her eccentric personality.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Her biggest flaw is that while she's ultimately a good person, she usually doesn't consider other people's feelings and has a tendency to bulldoze her way into their lives whether they want her to or not. After becoming friends with Tsubomi, she starts to become more easygoing.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: More than often than not she acts like a BrattyHalfPint, but is always there for her friends.
* TheLancer: The assertive, annoying, and energetic to Tsubomi's shy, kind, and doubtful. Despite starting out on shaky terms, she and Tsubomi end up on good terms and backs up her new best friend no matter what.
* LargeHam: Erika is very overactive and loves hamming it up.
* MakingASplash: Many of her sub-attacks are based on water.
* NoIndoorVoice: In one episode she gets shushed 3 separate times for yelling in a library.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: One of Erika's flaws is that she gets up in people's face regardless of this situation. At times she ends up too confrontational, which leads to her and Tsubomi's first interactions being less positive than what she imagined.
* PluckyGirl: When you're not the [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Dai-Gurren-dan]], the proper reaction to seeing a giant EldritchAbomination from outer space pummeling your planet with impunity is to tremble in despair. However, Erika instead decides that the Cures must fight it, [[RefugeInAudacity what with being "14-year old beautiful superheroines"]].
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Tsubomi's blue.
* UseYourHead: Her Pretty Cure Forehead Punch is actually a headbutt.
* WaterIsBlue: As Cure Marine, she has a lot of water attacks and like her outfit come out as blue streams.
* WaterIsWomanly: Of the more temperamental ones, but she is Cure Marine and a sincere, girly fashionista.

* TheBigGirl: Thanks to her martial arts training, she's physically the strongest of the three and with her barriers, she serves as a fast moving, hard hitting, powerful defense that can do way more damage than the other Cures individually.

To do this, they can extract wilting Heart Flowers from humans and transform them into berserking monsters known as Desertrians, catalysing the wilting process.
----
* CastFromHitPoints: The Dark Bracelets actually drain from their energy, but as long as they use one, it's not much of a problem. If a general uses three however…
* BreakingSpeech: They deliver hurtful speeches to break HeroicSpirit OncePerEpisode, always countered by the heroines KirkSummation.
* FusionDance: With the Dark Bracelets, they can fuse with the MonstersOfTheWeek to accelerate the wilting process of the Heart Flowers, making the Desertrians stronger. Episode 44 proves there is no limitation for a Desertrian to fuse with only one general.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:After being purified, their Heart Flowers return to their original human bodies.]]
* MidSeasonUpgrade: In episode 31, they receive the Dark Bracelets from Professor Sabaaku, that not only allow them to fuse with the MonstersOfTheWeek, the Dark Bracelets also empowers the generals.
* ObviouslyEvil: [[DoubleSubversion Double subverted]]; they do not wear dark clothes, but everyone immediately notices that they look suspicious.
* TerribleTrio: They consist of three generals.
* TrueCompanions: They respect each other and they would save each other, unless it's too late.
* WasOnceAMan: [[spoiler:They are created from three Heart Flowers. The ''Heartcatch'' novel revealed that those Heart Flowers were from a man removed from his dojo because of his anger, a fashion designer kicked out of the industry because of his arrogance and a child caretaker who accidentally allowed one of her charges to be injured.]]

* TheBrute: He's a strong, muscular guy who often fights the Pretty Cure on the frontlines.

[[quoteright:263:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/HeartCatch_-_Cobraja_518.jpg]]

The blue General. A smarmy narcissist infatuated with his own beauty. He despises anything he considers "ugly", including Heart Flowers, which is why he transforms them into Desertrians.
----
* AgentPeacock: He's a handsome, stylish narcissist who [[GratuitousFrench occasionally peppers French into his speech]] and he constantly butts heads with the Pretty Cure.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Mostly noticed in episode 7, where he licks Itsuki's Heart Flower and, after a while, getting notified that Itsuki's [[UnsettlingGenderReveal actually a girl]]. His reaction is [[http://abload.de/img/2qmqat5adkqw.gif quite funny, actually]]. However, he does find Itsuki attractive as Cure Sunshine.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: His relentless self-obsession and tendency to shirk duties for the sake of his beauty regimen do nothing to stop him from being a dangerous opponent. He's also clever enough to see kids worrying about summer homework in episode 28 as a potential army of Desertrians.
* {{Bishonen}}: Obviously and as a narcissist, he invokes and believes this a lot.
* BlueOni: To Kumojaki's red.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Blue in his hair and eyes.

* LongHairedPrettyBoy: His hair grows down to his waist and he's handsome.

The yellow General. A devious schemer who usually carries an air of smug self-confidence, but can become vicious and petty if provoked.
----
* ACupAngst: In the first episodes, she looks jealous when she meets Tsubomi, who seems to have a ridiculously large bust (actually Chypre and Coffret are hiding under Tsubomi's shirt).
* AmbiguouslyBrown: She's dark-skinned but also Japanese.
* AnimalMotif: Scorpions.
* BareYourMidriff: Her outfit opens up a lot to the imagination.
* BewareMyStingerTail: Capable of turning her [[PrehensileHair hair]] into a stinging scorpion's tail.
* MagicSkirt: It doesn't help her combat wise though.
* DarkChick: The only female general of the Desert Apostles with the exception of [[TheDragon Dark Precure]]. She's not the strongest of the three, but is very manipulative towards the VictimOfTheWeek, has a more unique moveset compared to Kumojacky's brute force and Cobraja's cards, and [[spoiler: is the first villain to undergo a HeelFaceTurn]].
* DarkSkinnedRedHead: She has red-haired and she has dark skin, which [[spoiler:is still present when she is purified and goes back to her human phase]].
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:'Dies' in Kumojacky's arms, after thanking Kumojacky and Cobraja for being there for her]]
* EvilRedhead: Sasorina's red hair only emphasizes her wicked, evil and deceptive nature. This slowly starts to change, but she still is a General of the Desert Apostles.
* FieryRedhead: Sasorina is a ginger and she is very quick to act and get angry, especially when Cure Blossom or Cure Sunshine are involved.
* GoOutWithASmile: She is purified with a smile at the end of episode 40, now filled with happiness and is reborn.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: She seemed to be tilting towards a change of heart after getting hit by Gold Forte Burst. It was promptly reverted after she received her Dark Bracelet. [[spoiler:She is fully purified in episode 40 and returns to her human host, functionally completing a HeelFaceTurn.]]
* InformedAbility: Her scorpion-tail-hair is poisoned, but she never poisons someone.
* LaughablyEvil: Her, Cobraja and the Snackeys are basically the comedy relief of the villain's side.
* LettingHerHairDown: In episode 27, 40 and afterward.
* MeaningfulName: 'Sasori' means 'scorpion'.
* PhraseCatcher: "Ah! A weird person!" from her victims.
* PoisonousPerson: Her scorpion-tail-hair.
* PrehensileHair: She uses her hair as her main weapon. Cutting her hair does not ruin her hairstyle, though.
* SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains: The skimpy to the Precure's sensibility.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Sasorina is the only woman within the Apostles if you don't count Dark Precure.
* {{Stripperific}}: Her outfit is very revealing and she invokes this a lot. Hence why she gets jealous when someone becomes more attractive than her.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Her eyes are colored gold, but her actions do not represent her eyes. [[spoiler: Initially]].
* VillainousWidowsPeak: A rare female example.

The footsoldiers serving the Desert Apostles.
----
* AdorableEvilMinions: The Snackeys act way more precocious than evil.
* AlienBlood: They leak sand when injured. They're probably made of it.
* AmbiguousGender: It's quite possible they're genderless, judging from the fact that they're basically sentient sandbags.
* CuteIsEvil: The Snackeys are very cute, their antics and villainy are more hilarious than violent or effective, and they are mostly harmless. Their downfall was working for Dune.
* DarkIsEvil: Played straight, a purified Snackey is white.
* HenchmenRace: Arguably. It's never stated ''where'' they came from, or how they were created.
* KingMook: Super Snackeys.
* LaughablyEvil: Most of the time they're very harmless and on both sides, they're seen as a joke or good for laughs.
* MeaningfulName: "''Suna''" means "sand", which they seem to be filled with (in addition to serving a desert-themed evil organization). The "cky" part of "Sunacky" could come from "[[{{Mooks}} lackey(s)]]", and it could also reference how "''ki''" is [[PokemonSpeak the only sound they can make]].
* {{Mooks}}: The foot solider for this season, each coming in different forms and sizes.
* MookMedic: A non-gaming example. They patch up other Snackeys (with tape) whenever they're leaking sand.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Living ninja-looking sandbags that also kinda look and act like monkeys.
* SkySurfing: Their lack of mass helps them float and maneuver better in the air.
* TheUnintelligible: Communicate entirely in monkey-like squeaking noises. [[IntelligibleUnintelligible The Apostles can understand them]], though.

----
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatEver: They are gigantic and one most largest named ''Anime/PrettyCure'' monsters who have ever appeared (not counting the {{Big Bad}}s).
* DarkIsEvil: They are completely black.
* TheDreaded: The MassOhCrap the Precure have in response to seeing one is very much justified given their [[WalkingWasteland nature]].
* EldritchAbomination: Nasty, demonic {{EliteMook}}s with [[WalkingWasteland the power to kill an entire planet]].
* EliteMook: They're a much higher threat than the bog standard Desertian. It takes all four of the Precure with mantles to even take one down.
* EnemyToAllLivingThings: They turn planets into desert whenever they arrive there.
* EvilSoundsDeep: They're Dune's EliteMooks and they sound deep thanks to Creator/TakanoriHoshino's voice.
* GiantMook: Not that the Pretty Cures can't defeat them.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Their appearance has their eyes [[RedEyesTakeWarning glowing red]].
* LateArrivalSpoiler: They are shown in the first two versions of the opening despite the Desert Devil appearing in Episode 37.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Does "devil" sound like a good name to anyone?
* ObviouslyEvil: They're huge and menacing in appearances and are working for Dune.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Their eyes are devilish red and are more dangerous than the MonsterOfTheWeek.
* SinisterSilhouettes: Subverted. They really look like that.
* TheVoiceless: They grunt, but they never speak. It's doubtful whether they could.
* WalkingWasteland: What they cause. Their debut episode shows Dune casually dropping one onto a planet and it gets terraformed into a desert almost instantly.
