Kasumi Tenko

*“Hanai, you really have to learn how to not care about what everyone thinks! You’ll be so much happier.”*

**Kasumi Tenko** (かすみ天子 *Tenko Kasumi*) is a main character in Glorious Dreamland ☆ Pretty Cure.

Kasumi’s Pretty Cure alias is **Cure Fantasy**, and her theme colors are blue, white, and gold.

## Appearance

Kasumi is a young girl with fair skin and deep blue eyes. She shares her hair color with her sister, Hoshiko, having the same long ginger hair. Her hair is tied into two curly ponytails, and is decorated with a yellow and a blue bow. She has a scrunchy on her right wrist. She wears a white shirt until blue overalls, white socks with pink bands, and black sneakers.

As **Cure Fantasy**, her hair turns light blue and lengthens. It is still tied into curly ponytails, and is held by both gold ribbons and white Angel wing hair clips. The sides of her hair are tied by yellow bows. Fantasy’s eyes have also changed color, now being light blue. Her outfit is much like the rest of the team’s; she wears a white top with blue trim, and a blue bow brooch with a golden rose in front of it. Her skirt is also a pastel blue, and on her feet are white socks and blue boots with fluffy trim and golden bows. Fantasy also wears white gloves, the cuffs decorated with blue and yellow lace.

## Personality

Kasumi is energetic and carefree. She is genuinely happy, and cares deeply for both her friends and sister. Despite being optimistic and wanting to do anything to keep someone happy, she secretly cashes in on gossip. Kasumi is considered to be the polar opposite of her twin, Hoshiko; Kasumi is more energetic and snappy, but Hoshiko is more intellect and reserved.

One of Kasumi’s most common traits is that she loves magical girl media. Ever since she was a small child, she has always wanted to be a magical girl. In fact, the main reason why Kasumi clicked with Hanai was because they had a shared passion for said genre and would start to work together as magical girls themselves.

## History

### Background

Kasumi was born to Nanami and Itsuki Tenko as the younger twin sister of Hoshiko.

### Meeting Hanai

Kasumi is in the same class as Hanai Yuri. The two finally talk at lunchtime, where Kasumi almost immediately befriends her due to their shared love of magical girl media. Kasumi shoots a dirty look at some students, who are weirded out by the girls’ interests. Hanai admits that she would never do such a thing, which makes Kasumi comment about how Hanai needs to become more carefree.

### Becoming Cure Fantasy

Kasumi walks in on Hanai (as Cure Cherub) along with Floofy and Fluffy arguing with Bolgia. As Cure Cherub was in the middle of an attack, Kasumi interrupts by babbling in awe and almost passing out, happy and shocked that she met a real magical girl. The next day, Kasumi meets Hanai at school, and asks if she saw that magical girl yesterday.

Floofy and Fluffy then accidentally fly out of Hanai’s bag, thinking no one else was in her bedroom. Kasumi almost faints again, but Floofy and Fluffy demanded she does not tell anyone of their existence in exchange for becoming a Pretty Cure. Shocked and overly happy about this information, Kasumi is given her Glorious Staff and a customized Dreamland Jewel. Later, when Judecca attacks, Kasumi tests out her Glorious Staff and unintentionally transforms into Cure Fantasy.

## Cure Fantasy

”**My rapturous joy will enlighten you! I’m Cure Fantasy!**

**Cure Fantasy** is Kasumi’s Pretty Cure Alter ego. To transform, Kasumi needs her Glorious Staff and customized Dreamland Jewel.

### Transformation

Kasumi’s Glorious Staff glows a light blue. Her clothes are replaced with a glowing blue dress and she is transported to a glittery dimension. Kasumi waves her staff and yells, “Pretty Cure, send me to Heaven!” This creates her Dreamland Jewel, which she places in the middle of her staff to activate the transformation.

Kasumi’s Glorious Staff shrinks and forms multiple balls of blue light, which surround her and create the mold of her dress. The bow brooch comes in next, and her socks are made. Two balls of light form her boots, and two others create her gloves. Two final blue lights make her Angel hair clips, that she places in her hair to turn it blue and longer. Cure Fantasy floats in the air, which reveals her new eye color. She finally lands on the ground and introduces herself.

### Attacks
