==Bio==
Candy is a sheep-like baby fairy, one of two main mascots in Smile Pretty Cure!. She, alongside Pop, came to Earth in search of Pretty Cure to help them in collecting the Cure Decor, in order to defend the peace in Märchenland. She loves fashion. Candy ends her sentences with "~kuru" and usually refers to herself in third-person, which is omitted from the English dub. In the English Dub Glitter Force, Candy keeps her name but is known as a "pixie" instead of a "fairy." She also helps the Cures with the final battle in episode 47 and 48.
==Powers/Abilities==
===Cure Candy===
During Episode 8, Miyuki and Candy accidentally switched bodies due to Majorina's rings. Because of this, Candy (in Miyuki's body) could not transform into Cure Happy because she was not the actual Cure. However, Miyuki (in Candy's body) was able to transform, not into Cure Happy, but into a parody named Cure Candy.
Cure Candy's outfit looks exactly like Happy's, and they share a similar transformation sequence. However, Cure Candy has her own introductory phrase and alter ego name. Also, Cure Candy carries the Smile Pact on her back, much like a backpack, instead of having it attached at her right hip.
Like Happy, Cure Candy is able to perform purification attack Happy Shower, though she uses her ears to draw the heart instead of her hands.
==Trivia==
*Candy ends her sentences with "kuru~", which means "curly", and this is probably a pun on her curly ears and tail.
*Candy's ears resemble lollipops. This is a possible reason for why she is named Candy. Candy is also the only mascot whose appearance changes nearly every episode.
*Candy's design bears similarities to many of the mascots from previous seasons. Her sheep-like appearance mirrors to the sheep that appeared in the Aesop The Wolf and the Sheep.
*Candy and Pop are the second mascot sibling pair in the series, the first two being Pollun and Lulun.
*Candy's voice actress, Ikue Ōtani, is famous for voicing Pikachu from Pokemon and Chopper from One Piece. She has also voiced Olivier from the Heartcatch Pretty Cure! movie, and Hana-chan from Ojamajo DoReMi, another Toei series.
**A Running-Gag in Candy's role is when she is paired with Miyuki Hoshizora, who is voiced by Misato Fukuen. In the Pokemon series, Fukuen voiced Oshawott while Ōtani voiced Pikachu.
*A running gag in the first few episodes is that Candy keeps getting mistaken for a different kind of animal doll much to Candy's dismay. These include a sheep, a tanuki (raccoon dog), a piglet etc.
*Candy, in her Parody Cure Form, is a tribute to Love Momozono's alter Cure ego, Cure Peach from Fresh Pretty Cure!
*Candy is also the second mascot to switch bodies with a cure. The first being Tart switching bodies with Inori Yamabuki.
**She is also the second mascot to transform into a cure, Cure Happy. The first being Tart transforming into Cure Pine. (Not including Milk because she is not counted as a cure when transform into Milky Rose).
*The brooch that Royale Candy is wearing is the same clover brooch used in Fresh Pretty Cure! just with different colors and one more leaf.
*Candy is the seventh mascot to turn into a human. Others Being Coco, Nuts, Milk, Syrup, Siren (though she didn't really count as a mascot), and Pop.
*In the Japanese version, she has the same voice actor as Hana Makihatayama and Pikachu.
*In the English version, she has the same voice actor as Jimmy Neutron, Coco Bandicoot and Mana Aida (English version).
