## Appearance

Megumi has magenta eyes and short-medium length hair worn up in a ponytail with thick bangs and forelocks. Prior to meeting Hime, she wore a yellow top with white and light blue stripes with a green and white jacket, a royal blue skirt, dark green socks, and red sneakers. Afterwards, she started wearing a pale pink elbow-sleeve top with a heart and a yellow, purple, and fuchsia bubble vest, a fuchsia and navy-blue ruffled skirt with bow, black stockings with fuchsia cuffs, and a pair of fuchsia and white sneakers with a bow. For summer, she wears a shirt with a rainbow and a short sleeve light blue jacket, a pink layered skirt, cream stockings, and pink shoes.

As **Cure Lovely**, her hair and eyes turn hot pink and her hair extends down to her knee, worn with a magenta gem heart that has pieces of white fabric. Her bangs are slightly brushed to the side, and she gains pink heart earrings. She wears a white blouse with a dark navy vest, both with gold detail. The lapel is pink and the vest is trim with white ruffles, on the back is a small pair of pearl pink wings. On the chest is a hot pink and white ribbon with a gold heart and ribbon brooch. Her pink pleat-skirt has a frilly white petticoat. She also gains white and gold sleeves with matching thigh-high boots that have a hot pink bow on the ankle.

In her **Cherry Flamenco** form, her hair is entirely pulled back into a curly ponytail with a black ribbon and red rose. She gains makeup and rose earrings. Her red ruffled dress has pale pink lining and black fabric beneath it, a large red rose on the left hip. On the navel is a pink and gold heart with a red and magenta ribbon beneath it. Her shoes are black heels with a bow foot strap, and ruffled red sleeves with black cuff.

In her **Lollipop Hip Hop** form, her hair is worn in a pair of twin-tails with a large, chartreuse bow adorned by a gold star to match her earrings. She also gets a choker. Her outfit consists of a chartreuse top beneath a yellow and hot pink short-sleeved hoodie. Her ruffled, layered skirt comes in the same colors with an additional white layer and a hot pink and white belt. She also gains a pair of yellow heeled boots with hot pink cuff, one reaches the thigh while the other is ankle length with chartreuse striping. Both are worn with black stockings.

## Personality

Megumi has a big heart that is always looking for others well-beings. She loves to help out and when she finds someone troubled or feeling sad, she steps in to lend them a hand without hesitation. She's bold and brave, and keeps an upbeat positivity that helps lighten other's moods better. She can be clumsy at times though, and while she admires fashion, her own sense of it was initially considered to be rather numb.

Deep down Megumi has some insecurities, but she covers them up fairly well. She often worries that her tendency to help others may come off as selfish, thinking she only does it for compliments, even though her friends assure her that this is untrue. She can also come off as being pushy and irritate others, such as Hime, without meaning to. Her desire to help and get to know Blue also led her to becoming too attached to him, giving Red an opportunity to use her during a low moment.

## Relationships

**Seiji Sagara** - Megumi's neighbor and childhood friend. He knows both Megumi's strong and weak points and over the series, is shown to be secretly fond of her. He becomes jealous of Blue whenever he helps Megumi or dotes on her.

**Hime Shirayuki** - Megumi admires Hime and her sense of fashion, which helped them bond. However, Hime was more shy to strangers when they first met in the park, so it was hard to socialize with her for Megumi.

**Yuko Omori** - A childhood friend and fellow Pretty Cure. She admires and respects Yuko, who helps Megumi by giving her advice and encouragement. She was very happy after discovering she was Cure Honey.

**Iona Hikawa** - They are in different classes but Megumi recognizes her. She was very confused when Iona and Cure Fortune would lend her a hand while warning her to stay away from Hime/Cure Princess, and while Megumi was able to eventually befriend her, there was distance between them as Iona disliked her partner. After Iona was to overcome her issues with Hime/Princess, she became closer friends with Megumi.
