Reika Aoki

Reika Aoki is the fifth of the Pretty Cures. She is Cure Beauty.

## Appearance

Reika has dark blue eyes and chest-length hair worn in the *hime* style; straightened hair with the forelocks sometimes bound. At times she will pull her hair up. Casually, she wears a pale blue dress with navy detail and bodice, a pale indigo jacket worn over it with matching boots. For summer, she wears a light blue and white dress with puffy sleeves, a wide sailor collar and white ribbon on the back, along with light blue Mary-Janes.

As **Cure Beauty**, her eyes and hair turn vibrant blue and her hair grows to knee-length, worn with a short straightened segment and four long strands. Her bangs remain the same while her slightly curled forelocks gain gold ornaments. She wears white crown with a blue gem, and a pair of white wings in her hair to match her earrings, along with a dark blue choker. Her short light blue dress has blue and white detail feathered wings decorated with two blue spheres, layered over pale blue ruffles. On the chest is a light blue bow with a gold brooch, and hanging from the back of the skirt is a pair of dark and pale blue coat-tails. She also gains dark blue shorts, white and pale blue toes with a dark blue ribbon, matching her wrist pieces.

In **Tiara mode**, her tiara turns into a gold crown with gold wings and a blue diamond on it. Her earrings are replaced by gold ribbon-shaped earrings with blue hearts in the center.

As **Princess Beauty**, her hair grows longer and gains more of a curl, while the straightened part becomes wildly spiked and her forelocks straighten. She gains the accessories from Tiara Mode, the wings in her hair turn gold and she gains a halo. Over her outfit is a ruffled pearl blue dress with a ribbon on the back, and a baby blue and white striped ribbon on the chest, where her brooch resides. Her wrist pieces and boots are slightly altered.

As **Ultra Cure Beauty**, Her hair style remains the same as Princess but with more volume. Her gold crown changes in design, gaining two blue diamond gems to accent her new white choker. Her dress colors lighten, and a feathery pearl blue piece covers the chest and hangs down the back, reminiscent of a feathered cape, her brooch resting on a pair of pale blue wings. Her feathered wrist pieces gain a blue gem and ring, while her boots gain a wing-like cuff, with one at knee-length, the other reaching mid-lower leg. She obtains white wings.

## Personality

When first introduced, Reika is elegant and quiet, but also quite understanding. She is modest and hates to put anyone through trouble, going so far as to initially refuse any help. Reika is also shown to be quite calm and patient, not even appearing phased as the others told her about Pretty Cure, and she tried to politely spare their feelings when refusing their request. She is very responsible and hard working on her studies, clubs, and as a Pretty Cure. She manages to keep her fear in control and remain at ease, even if a little surprised.

In comparison to the other girls, she appeared to be the most accepting as her role as a Pretty Cure, not being surprised in the slightest. In battle, she is usually calm and focused, barely breaking a sweat when defeating her first Akanbe. She also, occasionally, displays an obsession with finding her "path" in life and appears to take her Pretty Cure duties quite seriously. She tends to trying determinedly to find an answer, or what to do to (achieve something).

## Story

She befriended Nao when they were little. She had been there around the time Nao first became an older sister, and remembers this memory fondly.

Reika first met Miyuki at Miyuki's class presentation, where Akane introduced Miyuki to her as "*Miss Popular*". A few days later, Miyuki saw Reika watering the flowers, where Miyuki was in awe of her kindness and selflessness, describing her as a "*water fairy*". She, along with Akane, Yayoi, and Nao, asked her to become a Pretty Cure with them. However, Reika kindly refused. Miyuki followed Reika and found out that, as Vice President, she was supposed to do a read aloud for the children at the Primary School. Miyuki and the other Cures offered their abilities to help make the presentation.

While reading, Joker showed up and ruined everything, turning everything into a bad ending. Only now, during his reign, Baron Ashura also appeared along with Dr. Hell's army. While the fight was unfolding between them, the Joker still had time to fight with the rest of the enemies, until Tetsuya arrived to help, who, as it turned out, was previously under the control of Dr. Hell. At that moment, Reika was also able to accept the pact and turn into Cure Beauty. After defeating both of them, they both joined, thus collecting all 5 Cures.

## Trivia

In the English version, her name is Chloe

Thanks to Tetsuya, she learned an allied attack along with Koji, thereby making the attack both hot and cold at the same time, which is fatal to the enemy.
