Pafu
Voiced by: Nao Tōyama
- Badass Adorable: She is this frequently, but points go to Episode 26 where she uses a bug net to fend off a Zetsubug.
- Big Little Sister: To Aroma, but only in their fairy forms. In her human form, she's a lot shorter than him.
- But Now I Must Go: Has to return to the Hope Kingdom for good at the end of the final episode, with no real way to come back to the real world. She can't resist crying.
- A Day in the Limelight: Episode 15 (her first and rather unsuccessful attempt at passing an exam for royal maid) and 26 where she and Aroma finally pass the exam thanks to their determination to keep an ill Towa safe from a Zetsubug.
- Evil-Detecting Dog: In Episode 13, she knew that Twilight was up to no good. She was right.
- Girlish Pigtails: In her human form, her ears become these.
- The Klutz: Has a tendency to stumble over her own ears... mane... whatever, even though she can fly. She mostly gets over it at the end of the season - she still trips while serving tea in the palace but catches the tray immediately.
- Pokémon Speak: When pretending to be a normal dog, all she says is "Puff". Nobody comments on that.
- Precious Puppy: In her fairy form, and she's certainly cute.
- Ridiculously Cute Critter: Invoked in-universe by Haruka in episode 3 in order to garner the other students' sympathy.
- Spell My Name with an S: Puff, Pafu, Perf, Puph, Paphu, Paphoux, Purrpf, Pāwhu, Perffh, Páibh, Peáibh, Peamhaibh... the possibilities are endless.
- Verbal Tic: "Pafu~"
- Verbal Tic Name: And it's her name, too.
- Voluntary Shapeshifting: Gains this in the final episode.
Aroma
Voiced by: Shiho Kokido
- All Take and No Give: It seems this is the main reason why Miss Siamour never passed him from the butler exam; he's too selfish and has little regard for his charges' wellbeing, caring only about good PR as royalty. He demands too much from Haruka without understanding her situation (insisting on her having a meal in an expensive restaurant when Haruka obviously can't pay for it) and blames her when he failed to prioritize things in his schedule (making Haruka have a large breakfast when she's already late for school). It's only when he realizes this that Miss Siamour gives him another chance for the exam. And it's only when he and Puff prove themselves to be loyal servants in both ups and downs that Miss Siamour passes them for the exam.
- Big Brother Instinct: Towards Puff. Not that he is more capable in combat, but it's the thought that counts.
- But Now I Must Go: Has to return to the Hope Kingdom for good at the end of the final episode, with no real way to come back to the real world. It's clear that the girls have grown on him over the series, as he is sad about leaving as well.
- Butt-Monkey: Aroma seems to be on the receiving end of a lot of abuse... being chased by baby ducks and rolled around like a ball by Puff being two examples.
- A Day in the Limelight: Episode 15 (Aroma attempt to pass an exam for royal butler) and 26 where he and Puff finally pass thanks to their determination to keep an ill Towa safe from Zetsubug.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite his behavior towards Haruka, as Episode 15 shows, he wants her to become the best princess.
- Verbal Tic: “-roma!"
- Verbal Tic Name: It's also in his name.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: Of sorts with Haruka.
- Voluntary Shapeshifting: Gains this in the final episode.
Prince Hope Grand Kanata
Voiced by: Shinnosuke Tachibana
- Ambiguously Brown: Which paired with his dressing style makes him eerily similar to another mysterious prince. Episode 40 reveals that Kanata inherited his darker skin from his mother.
- Barrier Warrior: He's capable of conjuring up rainbow-colored barriers with his staff. More than once he's helped the Cures because of this.
- Be Yourself: What he told Haruka in her backstory. Dramatically subverted in episode 38, but restored in the following episode.
- Big Brother Instinct: When he reunites with Twilight, his instinct is to try to approach her, even after she almost kills him right afterwards.
- Big Damn Heroes: He saves Haruka from two rabbit Zetsuborgs. In episode 39, he recovers his powers just as the Cures are about to get blasted by Close.
- Big Good: He is the leader (and from what we can see, the only member apart from Puff and Aroma) of La Résistance against Dyspear's government, Puff and Aroma's superior and the one who actively sought out the Princess Precures, which makes him essentially this. Justified since the king and queen are imprisoned in the despair cages.
- But Now I Must Go: Has to return to the Hope Kingdom for good at the end of the final episode, with no real way to come back to the real world. He does get one last moment with Haruka before he leaves, though.
- Childhood Friend Romance: He and Haruka are hinted to develop romantic feelings for each other.
- Cool Big Bro: Kanata is indubitably a cool guy, and he has younger sister who would be around Haruka's age. That little sister turns out to be Twilight.
- Cruel to Be Kind: Subverted: This is what Kanata thinks he's doing for Haruka in episode 38; by telling her that she will never become a true princess, completely breaking her heart, he only hopes she will stop battling DysDark and getting hurt. In reality, all it did was drive Haruka into so much despair that not only did it cost her the ability to transform, Close took the opportunity to use said despair to spread the vines across town, trapping most of the people in despair cages and causing a massive Zetsuborg outbreak. When Close himself ‘thanks’ Kanata by revealing what his attempt at protecting Haruka had caused, he is understandably guilt stricken and runs after Haruka to apologize.
- Despair Event Horizon: When Towa went missing, he lost all hope until he met Haruka. Then he reunites with Towa, who is now the Princess of Despair, Twilight.
- Elegant Classical Musician: Miss Shamour mentions that he is one. He later proves the rumors correct, being skilled as Towa at playing the violin, if not moreso.
- Heroic Sacrifice: He stays behind to hold off infuriated Dyspear and allow Towa and the cures to escape from Hope Kingdom. The last we see of him is his staff breaking down and the door to Hope kingdom exploding in white light. He survived although he lost his powers and his memories.
- Identity Amnesia: When Towa and Haruka find him in episode 35, he doesn't even remember his own name. Nishikido mentions he found an injured Kanata at the beach and since Kanata didn't know who he is or where he comes from, he let him stay and work in the violin workshop. He gets his memories and his powers back in episode 39.
- Love Epiphany: Most likely towards Haruka in episode 39.
- Manly Tears: He's so moved seeing Towa finally reunited with their parents, he doesn't even try to hide from nearby Flora the fact that he's crying.
- Mr. Exposition: He is the person on the good guys' team with the most knowledge about the setting, so he is this naturally.
- My God, What Have I Done?: After hearing Close's Evil Gloating about what's happening, he realizes that he is the one brought Haruka into despair and caused the uncontrollable growth of despair vines after saying her that she'll never become a princess and starts to blame himself after watching the Pretty Cure's hometown covering in vines. After he sees Haruka, he apologizes and cries like a little boy in front of her. Since Haruka is a kind person, he is easily forgiven.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Twice. He told little Towa that she can't become a grand princess which leads her to accepting Dyspair offer at helping her become one. In episode 38, he sees Flora fighting with Close and to stop the fight, he tells Flora to forget about her dream to become a princess because she can never achieve it and she will just get hurt. This results in Haruka going into Heroic BSoD and the uncontrollable growth of the despair vines.
- Non-Action Guy: AVERTED, which is very rare in the franchise. Kanata not afraid to participate in battle and proves himself to be very useful.
- Prince Charming: He's kind, humble, polite, and incredibly good-looking. Yeah, he fits this trope to a T.
- Put on a Bus: His fate after he stays behind to destroy the door to earth is unknown and he hasn't been mentioned ever since Cure Scarlet's first transformation.
- The Bus Came Back: A silhouette resembling Kanata is seen at the end of episode 31. In episode 35, he is found in Nishikido's violin workshop. With severe amnesia. Fortunately he recovers in episode 39.
- She Is All Grown Up: Both him and Haruka, if that sequence during the opening is any proof.
- Sixth Ranger: Generally if he's there when the Precure get into a fight, he'll be out helping.
- Tears of Joy: When both king and queen regain their consciousness in episode 50. And he doesn't even hide them from nearby Flora.
- White Stallion: In episode 19, he is seen riding a white horse named Wish.
Miss Siamour
Voiced by: Mayumi Shintani
- The Ace: We have yet to see something she cannot do.
- But Now I Must Go: Has to return to the Hope Kingdom for good at the end of the final episode, with no real way to come back to the real world.
- Cats Are Magic: Explicitly compared to a cat.
- Dance Battler: When she squares off against Shut in Episode 33, she moves with grace, similar to a ballet dancer.
- A Day in the Limelight: Episode 33 revolves around her especially.
- Elegant Classical Musician: Well, she was the one who taught Kanata and Towa.
- Gratuitous English: Oh boy. Nearly every sentence she says is peppered with English words. Thing is, she uses them in place of Japanese words, so it's hilariously grammatically incorrect.
- Meaningful Name:
- Think "siamese cat."
- It also sounds like "Chamois" leather, fitting with the mascots' fashion naming theme.
- Spell My Name with an S: Initially translated as Shamour.
Kuroro
Voiced by: Yuki Kaida
A calico cat mascot.- Brainwashed: Episode 31 shows that he was a fairy who had been transformed to do Dyspear's bidding. Later on it's revealed the real Lock was actually the costume.
- Cute Kitten: He resembles a light yellow one.
- Heel–Face Turn: After being released from Lock's control, Haruka and the others take him back to Noble Academy.
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: Episode 33 states that he doesn't remember about his time as Lock.
- Shrinking Violet: He's rather shy.
Yui Nanase
Voiced by: Haruka Yoshimura
Haruka's roommate and fellow classmate who dreams of becoming a children's book author.- Acquired Poison Immunity: She got drained so often that when she got her dream stolen for the last time, she actually breaks her despair cage on her own and proceeds to give Rousing Speech to others so they can break out themselves.
- Badass Normal: By the end of the series, Yui has been attacked for her dreams five times, but in the lead-up to the finale, she breaks out of her cage by herself and proceeds to help the rest of the Noble Academy students break out of theirs as well.
- A Day in the Limelight: Episode 41 is entirely centered around her. Prior to this, she gets some spotlight in the episodes where a Zetsuborg is created from her dreams and in Episodes 10 and 11 where she learns of the Cures' identities.
- Designated Victim: The poor girl was attacked five times during the season.
- Friend to All Children: Implied, given that her dream is to become a children's book author.
- Girlish Pigtails: Long, braided ones.
- Heroic Willpower: She almost breaks out of the despair cage through sheer willpower! In Episode 48, she successfully breaks out of her own despair cage before freeing the rest of the trapped students.
- Muggle Best Friend: For Haruka and the other Cures.
- Nice Girl: Very friendly and soft-spoken.
- Secret-Keeper: Learns about the Pretty Cure in episode 10 and keeps their magical identities secret. In episode 48, she is forced to explain the whole situation after Dyspear attacks Noble Academy.
- Took a Level in Badass: With each time a Zetsuborg is created from her dreams, she is able to resist the urge to give in and let the villains use her dream, though her resistance proved futile in the end. However, in Episode 41, she manages to weaken her Zetsuborg from the inside enough for the girls to quickly finish it off. In episode 48, not only does she manage to break out of her own despair cage, she helps free all other students who were trapped as well. Even Close is stunned by that.
