History Fanfic / ShiningPrettyCure

* FanNickname
** Aina: Kansai

* Akiyama Youko ('''[[color:red:Cure Ruby]]'''): [[TheHero The]] IdiotHero. A GenreSavvy, obsessive fan of the [[ShowWithinAShow fictional]] {{Toku}} ''Ishamashii Sentai Auraranger'' who [[PluckyGirl refuses to give up]], no matter what's thrown at her... unless it's [[BookDumb school-related]]. Uses the power of [[PlayingWithFire fire]].
* Kobayashi Aina ('''[[color:lime:Cure Peridot]]'''): TheChick. Youko's childhood friend and an avid [[ShipperOnDeck matchmaker]]. Slightly more practical than Youko, but has her [[TheDitz ditzy]] moments and hang-ups, specifically [[CanNotSpitItOut confessing]] to her [[TwiceShy equally-awkward crush]]. Uses the power of [[GreenThumb plants]].

* Takamura Akira ('''[[color:turquoise:Cure Turquoise]]'''): [[TheBigGuy The Big Girl]].

* Kibami Sora ('''[[color:gold:Amazora]]'''): The DarkChick. A [[GenkiGirl hyperactive girl]] who infiltrates the Cures' school as a [[TheMole spy]] only to find herself secretly [[BecomingTheMask enjoying the life of a normal schoolgirl]]. Uses the powers of [[ShockAndAwe lightning]] and [[MakeMeWannaShout sound]].
* Enshoku Haru ('''[[color:orangered:Yakeru]]'''): TheBrute. A [[JerkAss rude and loud-mouthed type]]. Doesn't seem to have much direction compared to the others, much to his girlfriend's annoyance. Like Ruby, he uses the power of fire.
* Noukon Mizuki ('''[[color:navy:Anya]]'''): The EvilGenius. The team's [[EmotionlessGirl cold-hearted]], [[{{Telepathy}} telepathic]] strategist who makes monsters out of people's ''thoughts''. Only shows affection around her sister, Amazora. Uses the power of [[AnIcePerson ice]].
* Frédéric Verdant ('''[[color:darkgreen:Suishoku]]'''): TheDragon. The oldest and [[TokenGoodTeammate conspicuously]] most upstanding member, who [[FriendlyEnemy shares an odd sense of camaraderie with the Cures]]. Also uses the power of plants, specifically [[SomethingAboutARose roses]].

* ElementalPowers: With each side divided into a FourElementEnsemble

* Miwa Shinju ('''[[color:silver:Cure Pearl]]'''): TheLancer and TheSmartGuy. A rather [[LittleMissSnarker sarcastic]] [[{{Ojou}} heiress]], skilled at academic pursuits and piano playing. Initially cold and distant towards her teammates but [[DefrostingIceQueen it doesn't last long.]] Uses the power of [[MakingASplash water]].
* Takamura Akira ('''[[color:turquoise:Cure Turquoise]]'''): TheBigGuy.

** TheLancer[=/=]TheSmartGuy: Shinju/Cure Pearl
** TheBigGuy: Akira/Cure Turquoise

More character-specific tropes may be found [[Characters/PrettyCureFanFics here]].

* Akiyama Youko ('''[[color:red:Cure Ruby]]'''): [[TheHero The]] IdiotHero. A GenreSavvy, obsessive fan of the [[ShowWithinAShow fictional]] {{Toku}} ''Ishamashii Sentai Auraranger'' who [[PluckyGirl Refuses to give up]], no matter what's thrown at her... unless it's [[BookDumb school-related]]. Uses the power of [[PlayingWithFire fire]].

* ElementalPowers: Each side has some version of the four classical elements.

* Miwa Shinju ('''[[color:silver:Cure Pearl]]'''): TheLancer and TheSmartGuy. A rather [[GrumpyBear sarcastic]] [[{{Ojou}} heiress]], skilled at academic pursuits and piano playing. Initially cold and distant towards her teammates but [[DefrostingIceQueen it doesn't last long.]] Uses the power of [[MakingASplash water]].

* JapaneseSchoolClubs: Akira is president of the DramaClub, while Aina is a member of the Gardening Club along with Soichi. Youko and Shinju are both "members" of the Go Home Club, although the former later joins the track and field team and the latter ends up providing background music for the Drama productions on the piano.

* Takamura Akira ('''[[color:turquoise:Cure Turquoise]]'''): TheBigGuy. The team's [[OneeSama older sister type]] who [[ClubPresident leads the Drama Club]], writes plays for publication, and hides her [[HeroicSelfDeprecation inferiority complex]] behind a composed facade. Uses the power of [[BlowYouAway wind]].

* OrwellianRetcon: The author is currently going back and changing certain details, like the number of Star Pieces each faction has at the outset, as well as certain scenes and characterizations, out of either dissatisfaction or a desire to prevent certain events from seeming [[AssPull too implausible]].

* '''[[color:dimgray:Meran and Korii]]''': The Queen's [[EnfantTerrible sadistic child]] [[TheDragon assistants]].

** CoolSword: The Ruby Saber and Emerald Rapier

* BrokenAesop: Episode Fifteen. Youko learns the value of studying...but the Cures only knew how to effectively defeat the monster because of her and Hibiki's habit of spending their time at the arcade instead. This is lampshaded, of course.

* ColorCodedElements: Played straight for the most part, but averted with Cure Turquoise (wind-elemental; blue) and Cure Pearl (water-elemental; white)

* DatePeepers: A more benign example in Episode 20. Episode 16 ''isn't'' an example, Aina just thinks it is.

* MidSeasonUpgrade: The Quartet's cards are upgraded in Episode 22, thanks to a powered-up Meran and Korii. The Cures counter this, first by adding a new member in Episode 23, and then by acquiring their personal weapons, the Shining Lights, starting in Episode 26.

* MythologyGag: Well, there's ''[[FutariWaPrettyCure Luminous]]'' Town for one, but there are certainly others. The fictional tokusatsu in Episode 30, ''Battle Princess'', seems to be a strange hybrid between ''FreshPrettyCure'' and ''FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar''.

** The four main heroines were originally a [[TheDitz ditzy girly-girl]], a [[ShrinkingViolet shy bookworm]], [[{{Ojou}} an outgoing and sweet princess type]], and a [[CloudCuckoolander daydreaming fairy-tale obsessed]] [[{{Bifauxnen}} crossdresser]] respectively. The fifth? She was supposed to [[HeelFaceTurn defect from the villains' side]].

* BrokenAesop (Episode Fifteen. Youko learns the value of studying...but the Cures only knew how to effectively defeat the monster because of her and Hibiki's habit of spending their time at the arcade instead. This is lampshaded, of course.)
* ButNotTooForeign: Frédéric, the only recurring foreign character, is apparently half-Japanese and half-French, though it's [[HumanAliens all a lie anyway]]. One-episode character Adelle Mizushima plays this trope completely straight, [[PhenotypeStereotype blonde hair and all]].

* DatePeepers (a more benign example in Episode 20. Episode 16 ''isn't'' an example, Aina just thinks it is.)

** [[TeamPet Team Pets]]/ [[MentorMascot Mentor Mascots]]: Sheeny and Lucey

* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Meran and Korii show these off fairly often, and the Queen's eyes are shown briefly glowing red whenever she's put out about something. Hoshiko has a more benevolent example, whenever her powers activate.

* LesYay: There's definitely some with Sora and Akira, [[spoiler: which eventually crosses the line from "teasing" into "canon"]], as well as a bit between Youko and Shinju.
* MeaningfulName: Quite a few. For example, "Shinju" literally means "Pearl", while each of the Quartet's given names allude to their element in some manner.

* MonsterOfTheWeek: Manmanusa. [[spoiler: Meran and Korii can summon their own, stronger versions, Uttoushi.]]

* RedOniBlueOni: Youko and Shinju; Yakeru and Anya, complete with the requisite [[PlayingWithFire elemental]] [[MakingASplash affi]][[AnIcePerson nity]].
* ScheduleSlip: Supposedly due to be updated every weekend, the series has been on hiatus for months. The author is working to break the hiatus, though. Although the sixteenth episode was posted during the summer, the author has still been stuck in a literary mire. [[RealLifeWritesThePlot Blame college, among other things.]]

* SchoolgirlLesbians: Amazora/Sora has a small crush on Akira/Cure Turquoise, in spite of herself, according to WordOfGod. [[spoiler:Akira prefers girls, and goes on to reciprocate her classmate's feelings a little.]]

* Akiyama Youko ('''[[color:red:Cure Ruby]]'''): GenreSavvy, obsessive fan of the [[ShowWithinAShow fictional]] {{Toku}} ''Ishamashii Sentai Auraranger'' and the self-proclaimed team leader. [[PluckyGirl Refuses to give up]], no matter what's thrown at her... unless it's [[BookDumb school-related]]. Uses the power of [[PlayingWithFire fire]].
* Kobayashi Aina ('''[[color:lime:Cure Peridot]]'''): Youko's childhood friend, an avid [[ShipperOnDeck matchmaker]] and romance addict. Slightly more practical than Youko, but has her [[TheDitz ditzy]] moments and hang-ups, specifically [[CanNotSpitItOut confessing]] to her [[TwiceShy equally-awkward crush]]. Uses the power of [[GreenThumb plants]].
* Miwa Shinju ('''[[color:silver:Cure Pearl]]'''): The youngest member. A rather [[GrumpyBear sarcastic]] [[{{Ojou}} heiress]], skilled at academics and piano. Initially cold towards everyone, but [[DefrostingIceQueen it doesn't last long.]] Uses the power of [[MakingASplash water]].
* Takamura Akira ('''[[color:turquoise:Cure Turquoise]]'''): The oldest member of the team. [[ClubPresident Leads the Drama Club]], writes plays for publication, and hides her inferiority complex behind a composed and friendly facade. Uses the power of [[BlowYouAway wind]].
* '''[[color:silver:Sheeny]]''' and '''Lucey''': The team's [[MentorMascot mentors]], a pair of rabbits because EverythingsBetterWithBunnies. Sheeny is more bold and outspoken, while Lucey is more laid-back and timid.

* '''The Shade Queen''': A shadowy sorceress and the BigBad.

* '''[[color:gold:Amazora]]''': Alias Kibami Sora, a [[GenkiGirl hyperactive girl]] who infiltrates the Cures' school as a [[TheMole spy]]. Secretly hates her job, but is too focused on approval to quit. Uses the powers of [[ShockAndAwe lightning]] and [[MakeMeWannaShout sound]].
* '''[[color:orangered:Yakeru]]''': Alias Enshoku Haru. [[JerkAss The rude, loud-mouthed]] [[TheBrute muscle of the team]]. Doesn't seem to have much direction compared to the others. Like Ruby, he uses the power of fire.
* '''[[color:navy:Anya]]''': Alias Noukon Mizuki. The team's [[EmotionlessGirl cold-hearted]], [[{{Telepathy}} telepathic]] strategist who makes monsters out of people's ''thoughts''. Only shows affection around her sister, Amazora. Uses the power of [[AnIcePerson ice]].
* '''[[color:darkgreen:Suishoku]]''': Alias Frédéric Verdant, "[[{{Fauxreigner}} from France]]". The oldest member by about twenty years. [[FriendlyEnemy Shares an odd sense of camaraderie with the Cures]]. Also uses the power of plants, specifically [[SomethingAboutARose roses]].

* CatchPhrase: Youko's "I'm not giving up that easily!", Amazora's "Super cool, super awesome!", minor character Maki Kanon's variations on "Isn't that weird?", and Anya's "Your <insert emotion here> shall be a tool in my hands."

** TheDragon: Suishoku (technically, Meran and Korii appear to be this on their own, but Suishoku fits the ''ensemble'' role more, much like the role-switching in the ''[[YesPrettyCure5 Y!PC5]]'' examples of FiveManBand)

* [[spoiler:SpiritBomb / AllYourColorsCombined: Pretty Cure Shining Cannon]]

* TheMovie: There's going to be one, according to WordOfGod.

* {{Expy}}: The girls meet a [[IllGirl frail]], violet-eyed and dark-haired MysteriousWaif with a tendency to release bursts of power when unconscious. Are we talking about Ito Hoshiko or [[SailorMoon Tomoe Hotaru]]?
** Actually, almost every character had elements of expy-dom when created, and took on their own traits as the writing progressed.

<<|FanFic/FanFics|>>)

* WeaponOfChoice: For pretty much everyone
* UndeadTaxExemption: All of the Quartet to some degree, but Amazora is probably the worst offender.

* '''[[color:mediumpurple:Cure Diamond]]''': The yet-to-appear [[SixthRanger Fifth Ranger]], mentioned in author's notes but nowhere else. Uses the power of [[LightTheWay light]].

* '''[[color:darkgray:Gleamy]]''': The [[SixthRanger Third Ranger]] to the mascots. He also has yet to debut.

* '''[[color:dimgray:Meran and Korii]]''': The Queen's [[EnfanteTerrible sadistic child]] [[TheDragon assistants]].

** [[spoiler: TheHeart/ [[SixthRanger Fifth Ranger]]: ???/Cure Diamond]]

** [[spoiler: TeamPet / TagalongKid: Gleamy]]

* RedOniBlueOni: Youko and Shinju; Yakeru and Anya, complete with the requisite [[PlayingWithFire elemental]] [[MakingASplashaffi]][[AnIcePerson nity]].
* ScheduleSlip: Supposedly due to be updated every weekend, the series has been on hiatus for months. The author is working to break the hiatus, though. [[RealLifeWritesThePlot Blame college, among other things.]] Although the sixteenth episode was posted during the summer, the author has still been stuck in a literary mire.

* Miwa Shinju ('''[[color:gainsboro:Cure Pearl]]'''): The youngest member. A rather [[GrumpyBear sarcastic]] [[{{Ojou}} heiress]], skilled at academics and piano. Initially cold towards everyone, but [[DefrostingIceQueen it doesn't last long.]] Uses the power of [[MakingASplash water]].

* '''[[color:gainsboro:Sheeny]]''' and '''Lucey''': The team's [[MentorMascot mentors]], a pair of rabbits because EverythingsBetterWithBunnies. Sheeny is more bold and outspoken, while Lucey is more laid-back and timid.
* '''[[color:lightslategray:Gleamy]]''': The [[SixthRanger Third Ranger]] to the mascots. He also has yet to debut.

* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Within both factions. Pretty Cure has Youko (choleric), Aina (sanguine), Shinju (phlegmatic), and Akira (melancholic), while the Quartet has Amazora (sanguine), Yakeru (choleric), Anya (phlegmatic), and Suishoku (melancholic).
* TheGlomp: Sora's preferred method of greeting Akira. Like [[RevolutionaryGirlUtena Wakaba to Utena]], it can get dangerous when they're near an open window.

->'''Ruby''': The red gem stands for vitality! Shining strongly, Cure Ruby!
->'''Peridot''': The green gem stands for joy! Shining brilliantly, Cure Peridot!
->'''Pearl''': The white gem stands for purity! Shining radiantly, Cure Pearl!
->'''Turquoise''': The blue gem stands for valor! Shining steadily, Cure Turquoise!
->'''Ruby and Peridot:''' Four sparkling treasures from far away...
->'''Pearl and Turquoise:''' ...will carry the lights of the future across the galaxy!
->'''All:''' Together we shine brightly! We are Precure!

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Chiyoko, Youko's four-year-old sister, who can whine and cry with the best of them, while insisting that the rabbits (especially Sheeny) are her best friends. She might be a little bit more savvy about their true nature than Youko thinks.

* ButNotTooForeign: Frédéric, the only recurring foreign character, is apparently half-Japanese and half-French. Subverted in that it's all a lie anyway, and he's a [[HumanAliens completely different type of foreign]] altogether...but [[AllThereInTheManual during a group writing exercise]], the author implied he actually ''is'' his world's version of ButNotTooForeign...
** However, one-episode character Adelle Mizushima plays this trope completely straight, [[PhenotypeStereotype blonde hair and all]].

* DatingCatwoman: Akira/Amazora seems to be heading this way.
* EarlyBirdCameo: [[GenkiGirl Momoi Naomi]] and [[IdolSinger Kijima Hinata]], protagonists of another planned ''Pretty Cure'' ElsewhereFic put in small appearances in later episodes.

* IAmHeroHearMeRoar

** As of November 2009, yet ''another'' fanseries has been proposed with a main character named Yoko...

* PsychoRangers: The aforementioned Shade Quartet and the movie-exclusive antagonists, [[ChoushinseiFlashman Prism]] [[ArtificialHuman Flare.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: Youko and Shinju; Yakeru and Anya, complete with the requisite elemental affinity.
* ScheduleSlip: Supposedly due to be updated every weekend, the series has been on hiatus for months. The author is working to break the hiatus, though. [[RealLifeWritesThePlot Blame college, among other things.]]
** WordOfGod says the series will probably resume around summertime.
*** IT HAS RETURNED! The 16th episode, which has been considered {{Vaporware}} for some time now, was posted on July 5, 2010.

** For example, the geometric symbols on the Cures' uniforms may seem a bit [[ChourikiSentaiOhranger fam]][[PowerRangersZeo iliar]]...

* [=~3D Movie~=]: Suggested for TheMovie.

** The Quartet has its counterpart, SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan, in Suishoku and Yakeru, who are most decidedly ''not'' best friends.

* OperaGloves (Sported by both Cure Pearl and Anya)

* TwinTropes: Meran and Korii fit a good number, naturally.

* WeaponOfChoice (for pretty much everyone)

* TransformationTrinket: Pretty Cure's [[YesPrecure5 Pinky Catch]]-esque Star Braces, and the Quartet's gemstone rings.

* ButNotTooForeign: Frédéric, the only recurring foreign character, is apparently half-Japanese and half-French. Subverted in that it's all a lie anyway, and he's a [[HumanAliens completely different type of foreign]] altogether...but [[AllThereInTheManual during a group writing exercise]], the author implied he actually ''is'' his world's version of ButNotTooForeign...yeah.

* WeaponOfChoice
** [[spoiler: CoolSword: Ruby's upgrade weapon. Suishoku is later shown to have a cool ''rapier''.]]
** [[spoiler: DropTheHammer: Peridot's upgrade weapon]]
** ElementalPunch: Cure Ruby and Yakeru's fists of fire.
** ImprobableWeaponUser: Amazora's killer microphone (doubles as a sort of [[EpicFlail flail]]), [[spoiler: Pearl's [[MagicMirror mirror]]]]
** [[spoiler: RingsOfDeath: Turquoise's upgrade weapons]]
** SimpleStaff: Carried by Meran and Korii. [[spoiler: Also Diamond's main weapon, doubling as a MagicWand.]]
** WhipItGood: Anya's been shown to create one out of ice crystals.
