Tsubomi Hanasaki/Cure Blossom

Voiced by: Nana Mizuki

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tsubomi_28cure_blossom.jpg
"Watashi, kan'ninbukuro no cho ga kiremashita!"English 

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


  • Actor Allusion: Well, more Artist Allusion to Umakoshi Yoshihiko, who also designed the characters for Ojamajo Doremi. 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.
  • Ass Kicks You: Blossom Butt Punch, to the point of reaching memetic status.
  • Badass Adorable: 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.
  • Breakout Character: Until they were replaced by a new movie series with a more compact cast, every Pretty Cure All Stars 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 Role Reprise for everyone but a select few.
  • Breast Attack: 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 
  • Character Development: 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.
  • Cherry Blossom Girl: 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.
  • Contrasting Sequel Main Character: Towards past pink colored Pretty Cures. Lead Cures are often outgoing or passionate Genki Girls, while Tsubomi is shy and introverted.
  • Curtains Match the Window: Her pink eyes match her hair when in and outside of Precure form.
  • Ditzy Genius: 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.
  • Fill It with Flowers: In the Grand Finale, she dreams of doing this for other planets! The Heartcatch novel reveals she's actually going through with it, studying English so she can attempt to join NASA.
    Tsubomi: If I can… If I can… I want to make flowers bloom in the desolate wastes of space
  • Girlish Pigtails: In civilian form, her hair are shaped in the form of pigtails.
  • The Glasses Gotta Go: If Erika is anything to go by, though Tsubomi still wears them from time to time.
  • The Heart: While she is the primary protagonist, Tsubomi is more kind and reclusive, along with the peacekeeper of the Cures.
  • Heroic Lineage: Her grandmother Kaoruko was Cure Flower in her youth and the only Cure to have defeated Dune alone.
  • The Heroine: Tsubomi is the primary protagonist of the season despite not feeling that way in the beginning of the series.
  • Implied Love Interest: She finds one in the movie, in the person of Olivier.
  • Informed Flaw: 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 even before Yuri regained her Pretty Cure powers in Episode 34 and Tsubomi gained the Super Silhouette Power-Up in Episode 38!
  • Innocent Flower Girl: She is the first ever shy Pretty Cure main character.
  • Large Ham: Whenever she says "Ichirin no Hana", calls her attacks or just shouts when attacking with Heartcatch Orchestra.
  • Meaningful Name: 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 Line-of-Sight Name.
  • Megaton Punch: 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.
  • Nice Girl: 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.
  • Opaque Lenses: 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.
  • Petal Power: While her attacks seem like they're Light 'em Up, her energy and her fighting abilities are physically harnessed from the power of the flowers and the Heart Tree
  • Pink Means Feminine: She wears pink and generally acts feminine: shy, weak, and reclusive, though through Character Development, she accepts that part of her as long as she gets stronger in her heart.
  • Raised by Grandparents: 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.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The shy and reclusive blue to Erika's energetic and loud red, contrary to their color schemes.
  • Rose-Haired Sweetie: She definitely fits the trope, except she's shy, but gradually grows more confident later on.
  • Shrinking Violet: 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 Girls.
  • Slipknot Ponytail: A first for the franchise. In The Movie, she takes a hit meant for Olivier, the blast removing her hairbow. Her loose hair helps pull Olivier out of his Superpowered Evil Side.
  • Stepford Smiler: 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.
  • Translation Convention: 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!".
  • Thinks Like a Romance Novel: She considers love to be Serious Business and tends to be quite Genre Savvy 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 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!"
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: 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. In the 2015 novel, it's revealed she wants to join NASA to help with her phobia so she can go into space.

    Erika Kurumi/Cure Marine 

Erika Kurumi/Cure Marine

Voiced by: Fumie Mizusawa

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kurumierika_3.jpg
"Umi yori hiroi atashi no kokoro mo, kokora ga gaman no genkai yo!"English 

"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.


  • Action Girl: Combined with her Genki Girl 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!
  • Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance: 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 wavy blue hair in both her civilian form and as a Cure.
  • Ass Kicks You: She would sometimes use Blossom's Butt Punch in tandem with her.
  • Badass Adorable: 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.
  • Breakout Character: 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 the original duo of Nagisa and Honoka. Tellingly, like Tsubomi, every Pretty Cure All Stars film gave her a speaking role, when most secondary Cure's ended up rendered The Voiceless.
  • Breast Attack: Inverted with Double Body Punch, an attack in which she and Cure Blossom slam chest-first into the opponent.
  • 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 Monster of the Week 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!"
  • Character Development: 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.
  • Curtains Match the Window: In both civilian and Cure forms, she has bright blue hair and matching eyes.
  • The Fashionista: As the leader of the Fashion Club and the creator of many outfits for the other clubs projects, this was a given.
  • Forehead of Doom: 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 Ass Kicks You move.
  • Hot-Blooded: Yes, the water-elemental character is this.
  • Genki Girl: Very much so. She is arguably the most energetic Precure in the series, and it shows.
  • Genre Savvy: 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.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Her jealousy of Momoka's success as a model earns her Victim of the Week status in the first episode. Later, in episode 8, Momoka herself turns out to be jealous of the normal life Erika leads.
  • Inferiority Superiority Complex: 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.
  • Innocently Insensitive: 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.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: More than often than not she acts like a Bratty Half-Pint, but is always there for her friends.
  • The Lancer: 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.
  • Large Ham: Erika is very overactive and loves hamming it up.
  • Making a Splash: Many of her sub-attacks are based on water.
  • No Indoor Voice: In one episode she gets shushed 3 separate times for yelling in a library.
  • No Sense of Personal Space: 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.
  • Plucky Girl: When you're not the Dai-Gurren-dan, the proper reaction to seeing a giant Eldritch Abomination from outer space pummeling your planet with impunity is to tremble in despair. However, Erika instead decides that the Cures must fight it, what with being "14-year old beautiful superheroines".
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red to Tsubomi's blue.
  • Use Your Head: Her Pretty Cure Forehead Punch is actually a headbutt.
  • Water Is Blue: As Cure Marine, she has a lot of water attacks and like her outfit come out as blue streams.
  • Water Is Womanly: Of the more temperamental ones, but she is Cure Marine and a sincere, girly fashionista.

    Itsuki Myoudouin/Cure Sunshine 

Itsuki Myoudouin/Cure Sunshine

Voiced by: Houko Kuwashima

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/CureSunshine_7714.jpg
"Sono kokoro no yami, watashi no hikari de terashite miseru!"English 

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

The androgynous Student Council President 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.


  • Badass Normal: She's quite the accomplished martial artist and even fought back against Cobraja and Kumojacky respectively in two episodes.
  • Barrier Warrior: 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.
  • The Big Girl: 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.
  • Bishie Sparkle: In episode 7 from Tsubomi's perspective, complete with Love Bubbles and a flowery background at one point.
  • Bokukko: She switches to "watashi" briefly whenever flustered; she uses it exclusively as Cure Sunshine.
  • Catchphrase: "I will heal the darkness in your heart with my light!" And to a lesser extent, "How cute!"
  • Custom Uniform: Her school uniform is different from the other boys, mostly due to her status as granddaughter of the principal.
  • Cuteness Proximity: 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.
  • Empowered Badass Normal: Spends a while as a Badass Normal before becoming a Cure.
  • Even the Girls Want Her: 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.
  • Expository Hairstyle Change: After the brief Time Skip in episode 49, she grows her hair out somewhat and starts wearing the female uniform.
  • Girliness Upgrade: As the series goes on, she becomes more open about her love of cute things, dolls up for the school fashion show and 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.
  • Girls Love Stuffed Animals: Episode 15 reveals that she has a pretty good-sized collection of them, which she keeps hidden away.
  • Gold Makes Everything Shiny: Her Pretty Cure costume includes a gold lamé chest ribbon.
  • Heir to the Dojo: 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.
  • Late-Arrival Spoiler: Her gender and Cure identity.
  • Magic Missile Storm: Gold Forte Burst, her unique take on the Forte Wave
  • Power Makes Your Hair Grow: While this happens to almost all Cures, she takes it to the biggest extent, going from a very short bob haircut to waist-length Girlish Pigtails when transformed.
  • The Power of the Sun: 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.
  • Real Women Don't Wear Dresses: 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.
  • School Uniforms are the New Black: She's in her school uniform most of the time, even if she's out of school. That is, unless Erika forces her into the yellow tunic...
  • She Cleans Up Nicely: Seeing her girled-up makes that much of a difference.
  • Sixth Ranger: Suspected for a long while, confirmed in the most blatant way possible after episode 22.
  • Student Council President: 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.
  • Tomboy Angst: 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 Heir to the Dojo, but it's still a burden to her.
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: The tomboy to Tsubomi and Erika's girly girls.
  • Tomboy with a Girly Streak: Despite her appearance, she still has a lot of girly hobbies. Ultimately, she turns out to be more of a Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak, as most (but not all) of her masculine traits are an affectation.
  • Unsettling Gender-Reveal: 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.
  • Wholesome Crossdresser: That is, until the timeskip.

    Yuri Tsukikage/Cure Moonlight 

Yuri Tsukikage/Cure Moonlight

Voiced by: Aya Hisakawa

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/CureMoonlight_1568.jpg
"Watashi wa tatakau, min'na no kokoro no tame ni!"English 

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

The former Cure Moonlight, who was defeated and Brought Down to Normal 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.


  • Action Girl: Quite possibly the coolest Cure ever. Being unable to transform didn't stop her from jumping into danger, as seen in episode 13. Also shown in 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.
  • Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Has the darkest hair, tallest of the active Cures and is mostly serious and aloof.
  • Badass Bookworm: 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'.
  • Badass Creed: "Friendship... Love... A lot of emotions... Pain... Sadness... I will fight for them!!" When Yuri said this, she's ready to kick major ass. She said this quite frequently, but not enough to count as a Catchphrase.
  • Badass Longcoat: She's the first Cure to actually have a dress-like form.
  • Barrier Warrior: Less so than Sunshine, but shows some inclinations.
  • Broken Bird: She's a former magical girl who's introduced as somber, lonely, and cold. Over time, it's revealed 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.
  • Cain and Abel: Turns out to be the Abel to Dark Cure's Cain, after the revelation that Dark Cure was created by her father.
  • Cool Big Sis: 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 Pretty Cure franchise as a whole (behind 18 year old Cure Butterfly and 20 year old Cure Earth).
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: In Episode 34, after defeating Dark Precure, she takes all three Desert Apostle Generals down by her own.
  • Curtains Match the Window: Purple hair and purple eyes.
  • Dark Magical Girl: 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 Fate, Tsubomi is Nanoha. (No irony intended.)
  • Disappeared Dad: Her father has been missing ever since he began looking for the Heart Tree. She does find him again, but he turns out to be Sabaaku.
  • Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Subverted. Cologne calls her Cure Moonlight, even when she's just Yuri.
  • Fashionable Asymmetry: As Cure Moonlight, her outfit is asymmmetrical, but by no means does she have trouble wearing it.
  • Flower Motifs: Lilies, which are shown through her name and her Heart Flower.
  • Forehead of Doom: Yuri has quite a huge forehead.
  • Friend to All Children: 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).
  • Graceful Ladies Like Purple: She has purple hair in both forms and a violet-accented Cure outfit, and is a Lady of War admired by her teammates for her elegance.
  • Heroic BSoD: 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.
  • Hurting Hero: She is in constant emotional grief after her Fatal Flaw gets her powers removed, Cologne killed, and the Desertians with the advantage. While part of her Character Development revolves around her accepting Cologne's death, the pain still lingers in her heart especially when episodes 47 and 48 reveals what really happened to her father.
  • Ineffectual Loner: Her main character flaw, in the "I'll take on all the responsibility so no one else has to" sense. It indirectly leads to 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.
  • I Let Gwen Stacy Die: Her actions set into motion Cologne's death and that feeling
  • Lady of War: Keeps her cool and sense of gracefulness even when beating up enemies with Good Old Fisticuffs.
  • Lunacy: Her powers are associated and are strengthened from moonlight.
  • Meaningful Name: 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.
  • Peek-a-Bangs: Sometimes as Cure Moonlight her right eye is covered by her hair, fitting for her aloof and recluse nature.
  • Purple Is Powerful: 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.
  • The Smart Girl: 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.
  • Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Acted like an Emotionless Girl at first, but was later shown to be more guarded than anything. She defrosts a bit after joining the team.
  • When She Smiles: Seeing Yuri smile or laugh is very rare, but when she does, its is heartwarming.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: She thought she could get by being overly powerful and going solo. Unfortunately for her, in Pretty Cure series, you need to trust your friends a lot, thus she ended up utterly failing and losing her Fairy and ability to become Cure Moonlight, with the emotional baggage to go, at the beginning of the series.

Mugen Silhouette (some people translate her name as Infinity Silhouette) is the fusion of the four Pretty Cures and their three fairies. A giantess who looks like an older version of Tsubomi, having even her voice. She's the strongest Pretty Cure (at least in that verse) and makes her appearance during the Grand Finale. She's the Cure who ultimately defeats Dune in outer space. Thanks to this experience, Tsubomi is now inspired to become an astronaut.


  • Action Girl: She's called the "strongest Pretty Cure".
  • All-Loving Hero: She gives love to everyone.
  • Badass Adorable: She's an adorable Pretty Cure with enough strength to defeat Dune.
  • Badass Cape: Probably a Pretty Cure Mantle, since the three fairies are also part of the fusion.
  • Badass Creed: More so than other Cures' Transformation Name Announcement.
    The Grand Flower that blossoms throughout the Universe! Infinite Strength. Infinite Love. The Precure shining like the stars. Heartcatch Pretty Cure, Mugen Silhouette!
  • Barrier Warrior: Has an automatic, invisible barrier that even blocks Dune's attack.
  • Big Good: She's the most powerful of every single hero and heroine featured in the show, also being active in defeating Dune in his final form. Also really big in terms of size.
  • Calling Your Attack: Like many other Pretty Cures, Blossom has one of her own: Kobushi Punch.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: To Dune, of all people, and Dune was already in his humongous final form with enough power to destroy the entire universe.

Chypre and Coffret are two fairies that act as partners to Tsubomi and Erika, respectively. They safeguard and summon the Heart Seeds that the Pretty Cure use to transform, and (uh) "create" new Heart Seeds after a Desertarian is defeated.

  • Cuddle Bug: They're both very cuddly fairies, especially Coffret.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/HeartCatch_-_Cure_Flower_9329.jpg

"The flower that shines in the holy light, Cure Flower!"

Tsubomi's grandmother. In her youth, she was chosen by the Heart Tree to become Cure Flower, who single-handedly defeated the first invasion of the Desert Apostles. Having long retired her powers, she acts as a mentor to the current generation of Pretty Cure.


  • Action Girl: Was one as Cure Flower. And she was a karate champion.
  • Badass Longcoat: About as long as Cure Moonlight's.
  • Brought Down to Normal: She reveals that her last confrontation with Dune resulted in her losing her ability to transform into Cure Flower.
  • Cool Old Lady: A grandmother who's very wise and knows how to handle any given situation.

  • Day in the Limelight:
    • Episode 27 focuses on Karou in her younger years when she met and fell in love with Sora.
    • She regains her powers for one battle during the Christmas Episode, basically because it's Christmas.
  • Glamorous Single Mother: She lost her husband Sora when her son Yoichi was just a boy. Despite her loss, she still made a successful living as a floral researcher and her son harbors no negative feelings about how he was raised.
  • Her Heart Will Go On: While the sudden death of her husband still hurts her, Kaoruko keeps her head high and pushes forward in life knowing that Sora would want her to be happy. It also helps that her fairy partner Coppe takes the form of Sora as a way of easing her grief.
  • Kicking Ass in All Her Finery: One of the most elegant-looking Precures in the franchise (not counting the frilly upgrades ), along with Cure Moonlight.

A baby fairy who is born from the Heart Tree after enough Heart Seeds have been collected. He becomes the partner to Itsuki and enables her transformation into Cure Sunshine. Being a newborn, Potpourri is the most childish and self-centred of the fairies.

The fairy partner of Cure Moonlight. He is shown to be the most mature and level-headed of the fairies. When Yuri ignored his advice and fought Dark Pretty Cure and Sabaaku by herself, he was forced to sacrifice himself to save her life. He later returns as a Spirit Advisor after the Heart Tree regains enough strength, but can only manifest long enough to set Yuri's heart at ease.


    Coppe 

Coppe

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/HeartCatch_-_Coupe_2180.jpg

A senior fairy, and former partner to Cure Flower. Though silent, he is greatly respected by Chypre & Coffret as their role model. One of the powers of his advanced age is the ability to shapeshift. He often takes the form of Kaoruko's deceased husband, a blue-haired Bishōnen named Sora.


  • Beware the Nice Ones: He is an imtimitating fighter, as the Snackeys can confirm.
  • The Big Guy: This fairy is taller than average humans and stronger than the fairies and even the Precure at one point. Alongside Itsuki he specializes in brute force and additional muscle for the Precure or Cure Flower. Or as Sora.
  • Chick Magnet: Despite his appearance, he is very charismatic and the Cures, even Yuri, love to cuddle him or sleep on his belly. The young fairies have great respect for him, too. Tsubomi has even a crush on him, when he transforms as Kaoruko's husband Sora (who is actually Tsubomi's grandfather). Sasorina likes his human form, too.
  • Cuddle Bug: Doesn't seem to mind all the hugs and cuddles he gets.

The Tree of Hearts is a magical tree that connects to all Heart Flowers. If a Heart Flower wilts completely, it will weaken the Tree of Hearts. The only way to restore the Tree now, is to collect Heart Seeds into the Heart Pot until it is all filled up. The goal of the Desert Apostles is to kill the Tree, so they the Heart Flowers of all humans would wilt completely and the world would turn eventually into a desert.


  • Big Good: The Tree of Hearts plays a major part of the plot. During the story, it gives birth to Potpourri, and later it gives Yuri her Cure powers back.
  • Everything's Better with Rainbows: The flowers on the tree are in different colors, giving the Tree a rainbow-colored crown.
  • Living MacGuffin: A tree is a life being. The Desert Apostles wants to kill it, so they can turn the world into a desert.
  • Not Quite Dead: Dune is not able to kill it completely; it is still alive because the Pretty Cures and all the Victims of the Week they saved are still alive. The Tree of Hearts is eventually regrowing.
  • Suddenly Voiced: In episode 33 and 34, when it talks to Yuri with a female voice.
  • World Tree: It not only protects the world, it is connected with all Heart Flowers of all humans.
