Yano Tooka

**Yano Tooka** is an OC for *Mahou Tsukai Pretty Cure!* created by Fujiwara Hibiki. Tooka is a 13 year old girl full of curiosity who gains the ability to transform into the lavender **Cure Crescent** (キュアクレッセント, *Kyua Kuressento*?).

## History

### Past

Tooka was born a witch, but due to her curiosity towards the No Magic World, her parents took her and Tsukika there for a little wander. Since then, she has been completely fascinated with the No Magic World and lives there with her mother. Due to living in the No Magic World, she is far behind in her magic skills and tries her best to catch up by getting her sister to show her the spells she has learned. Despite knowing how to perform the spells, she can make a lot of mistakes which she isn't sure how her mistakes are fixed up. She thinks maybe Kitsu-chan, the fox like toy she found, has something to do with it.

## Personality

Tooka is a magic user who is always brimming with curiosity. However, her curiosity is what brings others to get annoyed around her. Her curiosity for the No Magic World is what led her to stay there for a while with her mother. She worries a lot about what she says as she can come off rude at times. She is very clumsy and wishes she was more elegant like her twin sister and mother. She is said to have this shining aura about her that lures almost everyone towards her, which she personally thinks is a bad sign. She is oblivious to the fact that her magic is actually very powerful and often forgets that she has the power to conduct magic.

## Relationships

* **Fuwarun:** A fox like fairy Tooka found in the No Magic World when she was on her way to finish some deliveries. She nicknames him "Kitsu-chan", as he looks a lot like a fox. She was oblivious to the fact that he was a fairy until she transformed for the first time. She has a strong bond with Fuwarun which started from the day she picked him up and didn't realize that Fuwarun watched over her to make sure she didn't get hurt or used her magic incorrectly.
* **Tsukika:** Tooka's twin sister who she looks up to a lot. She was always the weakest magic user out of the two and gets jealous of her sister but happily accepts Tsukika's help when she begins to struggle. When in the No Magic World, Tooka tries a lot to keep in contact with Tsukika but often forgets due to how fascinated she is with the humans.

**Yano** (夜野, ***Yano***?): *Ya* (夜, **Ya**?) means 'night', which could relate to the fact that the moon comes out at night, which Cure Crescent represents. *No* (野, **No**?) means 'field'. As a syllabus, "no" can indicate a possessive. "Yano" as a phrase would also mean "Of Night" or "Night's".

**Tooka** (とおか, ***Tooka***?) simply means tenth day.

*Cure Crescent* means "a ​curved ​shape that has two ​narrow ​pointed ​ends, like the ​moon when it is less than ​half of a ​circle".
