== Trivia ==
*Nora Cruz is the second character in the Pretty Cure franchise to dream of becoming a cheerleader, following Hana Nono of Hugtto Pretty Cure.
*In the unaired pilot and early concepts, Nora was originally envisioned as a brave and energetic character, similar to Mana Aida of Doki Doki Pretty Cure. She was initially planned to be the Blue Cure, Cure Miracle. However, this was changed to Cure Heartbeat to avoid confusion with an existing character named Cure Miracle. However, the concept of Cure Miracle reappears in the episode "Everyone is Different" which was created by UNICEF to promote embracing differences and combating discrimination and racism.
