## Cure Fiore

**"Happiness! The Vibrant Color of Flowers! Cure Fiore!"**
幸せ！花の鮮やかな色！キュアフィオーレ！
*Shiawase! Hana no azayakana iro! Kyuafiōre!*

**Cure Fiore** (キュアフィオーレ, ***Cure Fiore***?) is the Pretty Cure alter ego of Yuriko who represents happiness while controlling the power of flowers and her theme color being pink. To transform, she needs to have her Color Commune and needs to shout the phrase "*Pretty Cure, Polychrome Mirage!*" as well as needing her Niji Heart inserted into her Commune. Her main attack is **Feliz Blossom**.

### Transformation

The transformation begins with Yuriko holding out her Color Commune in front of her and when she inserts her Niji Heart, her clothes get replaced by a shining rose dress and, while her braided bangs are being undone, Yuriko shouts "*Pretty Cure*". She then gently kisses the Niji Heart and, once she does so, she shouts "*Polychrome Mirage!*" and a bright pink light emits from the Niji Heart. When this happens, Fiore's midriff baring top appears, followed by her skirt and her boots then appear. Her flower-like bracelets then appear and the flower brooch on her waist then appears, causing the pouch for the Color Commune to appear. She then slots her Commune into it's pouch and she strokes the bottom of her hair, causing it to grow longer, wavier and shift from blonde to cherry blossom pink. She then lands on a large flower platform, recites her introduction speech and finishes the transformation with her final pose.

### Attacks

* **Feliz Blossom** (フェリスブロッサム, ***Feliz Blossom***?) - Cure Fiore's main purification attack.

## Etymology

**Harumoto** (春本, ***Harumoto***?) means "spring book" with **春** (haru, ***春***?) meaning "spring" and **本** (hon, ***本***?) meaning "book".

**Yuriko** (百合子, ***Yuriko***?) is a common Japanese female name with many meanings dependent on the Kanji used, with the most common meaning being "lily child". This could be a reference to Cure Fiore's power over flowers.

Therefore, her name means "Spring Book Lily Child".

*Cure Fiore* is Italian for "flower".
