### Transformation sequence

“Pretty Cure! Zodiac Engage!” is Cure Aries’ main transformation phase in Starlight Pretty Cure. She transforms using the Cure Compact and her Cure Zodiac Gem.

First, Lauren holds her Cure Compact above her head and shouts “Pretty Cure!” as she inserts her Cure Zodiac Gem into the compact when it starts glowing and she draws an Aries sign around her body as it is covered by a red light. She then shouts “Zodiac Engage!” as she holds the compact to the Aries Zodiac sign, which gets tied inside the Compact and the transformation begins. Then, her hair becomes red, grows longer, becomes tied into a pair of twintails and her eyes also change colour. After that her gloves appear before her boots appear. Then, her dress appears and her Cure Compact is inserted to her belt. Finally, Cure Aries introduces herself before striking her finishing pose.
