**Inori Yamabuki**, also called **Buki** by her friends,  is one of the four main Cures in *Fresh PreCure!*. She is a student at Christian Private White Clover Academy.

Inori’s alter ego is **Cure Pine**, the Pretty Cure of Faith.

## Bio

### Appearance

Inori is shorter than the other girls, with goldenrod eyes and shoulder-length auburn hair partially worn in a side-tail with a ribbon.

Besides her uniform, she casually wears a pale yellow long-sleeve shirt beneath a light orange and hunter green camisole, a light blue skirt, navy knee-socks, and brown slip-on shoes. For summer, she wears a white blouse with orange ribbon beneath a cream sleeveless shirt, knee-length pastel yellow leggings and white flats. She swaps her hair accessory for a hair tie with two hunter green spheres. For dance, she wears a yellow sweatsuit with a white top, the bottoms being a skirt with black bike shorts, white leg warmers, and sneakers of orange and white.

As **Cure Pine**, her eyes and hair become golden, and the wavier hair grows out while keeping the same style as normal. She wears an orange ribbon with a yellow heart and gains a pair of upside-down goldenrod heart earrings and choker. She wears a pastel yellow ruffled mini-dress with goldenrod lining, ribbon, and ribbon stitching. The chest, sleeves, and middle of the torso are off-white, with her sleeves shaped like wings. Her skirt has a fluffy, off-white layered petticoat, and her Linkrun is worn around the waist. She also gets puffed yellow and goldenrod wrist pieces, burgundy tube socks, and a pair of goldenrod boots with white and pale yellow detail.

### Personality

Inori is the calm, delicate, and passive member of the Fresh group. Her quietness makes her stand out from the energetic Love, social Miki, and stoic Setsuna. She is very protective of those she cares for but is somewhat reserved; she would rather avoid disputes if possible. While she normally goes with the flow, she can also be quick-witted and nimble when called for. She adores animals, and while she may easily worry or feel embarrassed about how she looks in front of others, she would always come to their aid regardless of the situation.

Inori also has a low self-esteem. She strongly seeks improvement though and would like to become less-reserved. As the season goes on she begins growing more confident.
