## Story

Eight years ago, a young girl named Haruka Haruno dreamed of becoming a Princess like the ones in fairy tales and picture books, but was bullied by her classmates in kindergarten because of it. She later met a boy named Kanata, who gave her a strange charm while having her promise to never give up on her dreams.
Eight years later, now 13 years old, Haruka attends the Noble Academy boarding school while still cherishing her dreams of becoming a princess. One day, she encounters two fairies from the Hope Kingdom: Pafu and Aroma, who are being pursued by a strange man named Close. The fairies tell her that he works for Dys Dark, an organization led by a witch named Dyspear who seeks to bring despair to the world by locking dreams away in the Gate of Despair.
The charm she had turns out to be a Dress Up Key, which along with the Princess Perfume the fairies give her, allows her to become one of Hope Kingdom's chosen warriors: Cure Flora, a Pretty Cure to oppose Dys Dark. Later joined by Minami Kaido, Kirara Amanogawa and Towa Akagi as Cure Mermaid, Cure Twinkle, and Cure Scarlet, Haruka forms the Princess Pretty Cure Team to collect the Dress Up Keys needed to open the Gate of Dreams while protecting people's dreams from Dys Dark's forces.

## Main characters
### Princess Pretty Cures

The Princess Pretty Cures, who represent the Hope Kingdom, are composed of four warriors: Cure Flora, Cure Mermaid, Cure Twinkle and Cure Scarlet. Chosen by their Dress Up Keys (ドレスアップキー, Doresuappukī), their mission is to find the remaining Keys while protecting the Gate of Dreams from Dys Dark. All four of them use a magical transformation item called a Princess Perfume (プリンセスパフューム, Purinsesu Pafuyūmu) which they activate with a Dress Up Key by saying "Pretty Cure Princess Engage!" (プリキュア・プリンセスエンゲージ!, PuriKyua Purinsesu Engēji!). Each also has alternate forms called Mode Elegant (モードエレガント, Mōdo Ereganto), in which they use their main attacks. They later use the "Crystal Princess Rod" (クリスタルプリンセスロッド, Kurisutaru Purinsesu Roddo) to perform more powerful attacks and enter a new Mode Elegant form using the Elegant Keys and Miracle Keys. Unlike the other Cures, Cure Scarlet instead uses the Scarlet Violin (スカーレットバイオリン, Sukāretto Baiorin) as her main weapon to perform attacks. They later gain more powerful attacks by using the Princess Palace (プリンセスパレス, Purinsesu Paresu) along with the Premium Dress Up Keys and Royal Dress Up Keys to access new Mode Elegant forms.
They introduce themselves as "Strongly! Gently! Beautifully! Go! Princess Pretty Cure!" (つよく! やさしく! 美しく! Go！プリンセスプリキュア!, Tsuyoku! Yasashiku! Utsukushiku! Go!

She erased Towa's memories and manipulated her into becoming Twilight, Dys Dark's princess who was believed to be her daughter. After her battle with Towa, she returns to the Forest of Despair to recover and gives Lock a gauge to fill up with energy from despair so she can return upon regaining her full strength. Close uses the gauge that Lock collected to revive her and allow her to resume her leadership. After Hope Kingdom is restored, she invades Earth and attacks Noble Academy. After Lock's defeat, Dyspear absorbs Close to assume her true form and easily overpowers the Cures, but they achieve Grand Princess form to purify and defeat her.

#### Generals

Close, Shut and Lock serve as Dyspear's elite subordinates and form a group called the Three Musketeers (三銃士, Sanjūshi). The generals' names are derived from words meaning to lock away (Close, Shut, and Lock) and from words meaning to halt something (Stop & Freeze). They have the power to trap people's dreams in the Gate of Despair to create Zetsuborgs, whose appearance varies depending on which general summoned them. Twilight can use her Dress Up Keys on them to increase their power and allow them to summon more powerful Zetsuborgs. They can also assume a monstrous form when battling the Cures in the series' latter half.

After failing one time too many, Close is given a final chance by Dyspear to eliminate the Pretty Cures. He takes them and Yui to his Cage of Despair dimension and assumes a monstrous crow-like form to fight them, overwhelming them to the brink of despair. But with Yui giving the Cures hope, they defeat Close using Trinity Lumiere. However, Close survived, returning to gather despair energy from the defeated Lock and use it to revive Dyspear and create a new palace for their group. During the final battle, he allows Dyspear to absorb him to give her the power to battle the Cures. He survives his leader's death and assumes a new form through her residual powers to fight Cure Flora. However, he is defeated and takes his leave while starting to understand that dreams and despair coexist.

(シャット・ユア・ドリーム！, Shatto Yua Dorīmu!). He ends his sentences with "nomi". In episode 46, he battles the Cures one last time after their previous battle, assuming a monstrous lynx-like form to battle then before being defeated.

During the final battle, he assists the Cures in battling Close and Lock and confronts Lock about his true self, allowing the Cures to purify him.

As Lock, he is cool, calm and intelligent, and wears a hooded jacket with a demon's face and wings that cover his eyes. Despite being laid-back and playing video games in his spare time, Lock becomes the top member of Dys Dark's Three Musketeers. He traps peoples' dreams by saying, "Lock Your Dream!" (ロック・ユア・ドリーム!, Rokku Yua Dorīmu!). Later, a weakened Dyspear retreats into the Forest of Despair to recover from her fight against Cure Scarlet and leaves Lock in charge of Dys Dark, tasking him with gathering despair energy to heal her. But Lock uses some of the acquired energy to assume an adult-like form before stealing the Cures' Dress Up Keys and revealing his intention to take over Dys Dark. He uses the gathered despair energy to turn Hope Kingdom's palace into a giant Zetsuborg. The Cures retrieve their keys and battle against him, but he transforms into a giant toad-like dragon form to attack them. Despite this, they manage to purify him with Eclat Espoir, and he reverts to Kuroro while ending up in a coma. Upon awakening later, he resolves to help the Cures so he can return to his homeland. During the final battle, Close revives Lock and overpowers the Cures with the despair from Noble Academy's students. After they are released from the Cage of Despair, he is weakened and suffering under Dyspear's control, causing Shut to persuade him to remember his old self before the Cures purify him. Kuroro becomes Lock again and aids the Cures against Dyspear. Following Close's departure, he becomes a fairy teacher while Lock and Shut start a new life in Yumegahama.

Twilight can use the generals' locks to increase the power of the Zetsuborgs; this version has a red lock and a light purple eye. After Lock and Shut power up, they summon Zetsuborgs which have a lock with red horns on it, a glowing yellow eye, and red horns. Using a horn-like lock, the generals create more powerful Zetsuborgs to gather despair energy and restore Dyspear's strength.
