## Characters

### Pretty Cure Hopeful Stars

**Yumehara Nozomi/Cure Dream (Nicole Olivera in the English Dub; Noelle Young/Glitter Hope in the Glitter Force Version)**

Nozomi is the 16-year-old main protagonist who is a second-year student at her school, L'Ecole des Cinq Lumieres. She is struggling to become a teacher when she grows up. She is hopeful, dreamy, kind-hearted and very caring, but sometimes she can be childish, loud and clumsy, as well as being an academic underachiever. Although she is not very smart and is constantly getting into trouble with her goofy attitude, she has a strong and kind heart that eventually makes her the leader of the group. She is a bit selfish and can be overly dramatic. She is also shown to be easily jealous of her friends. However, it is shown that she cares very deeply for her friends and family. She is very trusting and believes that everyone has a better nature. This could be seen as both a character strength and a character flaw at times. She does not believe in killing innocent humans, even when they had been transformed into vicious monsters, and always seeks ways to heal them instead. Over the course of the series, Nozomi matures a great deal although she was still prone to some childish behavior and bouts of silliness; she becomes a capable young woman. Later in the mid-series, she sets her new hobbies of gymnastics and studies, and becomes less clumsy, thus becoming the student council vice president. Eventually it was revealed she is the reincarnation of Princess Espoir Dream. Her alter ego is **Cure Dream**, the Pretty Cure Guardian of Hope and Dreams whose theme color is pink and she has powers related to starlight and butterflies.

**Natsuki Rin/Cure Rouge (Rena Naderson in the English Dub; Ruby Nanders/Glitter Flare in the Glitter Force Version)**

Rin is a 16-year-old girl who is Nozomi's childhood best friend. Unlike Nozomi, Rin is straightforward, down-to-earth, loyal and passionate. Being proficient in all kinds of sports and also a responsible older sister to her younger twin siblings, she is often the one to reason with Nozomi when she comes up with unreasonable ideas or is acting too childish. She is a fiery, boy-crazy, athletic yet feminine, hot-headed, strong-willed, and somewhat bossy yet well-meaning girl with ambitions to become a famous athlete, fashionista, model and voice actress, and eventually settling down into marriage. Her relationship with Nozomi is turbulent and the two often argue with each other. Rin even admits at one point, she feels like Nozomi is not a fit leader. Regardless, she is extremely loyal to her. She seems to show her affection to the people she cares the most about in odd ways, such as her teasing Nozomi, which often hurts her feelings, or joking with Lilac. Though Rin sometimes bickered with Nozomi, she clearly cares deeply about her and valued her friendship very much, and often seemed closer to her than the other Cures. Although she doesn't want to be a part of Pretty Cure at first, Rin accepts her CureMo and Espoir Catch when she wants to protect Nozomi from danger. Eventually it was revealed she is the reincarnation of Princess Vulcan Rouge. Her alter ego is **Cure Rouge**, the Pretty Cure Guardian of Passion and Loyalty whose theme color is red and she has powers related to fire.

**Kasugano Urara/Cure Lemonade (Melody Love in the English Dub; Ursula Dubois/Glitter Lemon in the Glitter Force Version)**

Urara is a 15-year-old girl who is in her first year at L'Ecole des Cinq Lumieres. She is an exchange student who aspires to be an actress and idol. She is half Japanese from her decreased mother's side and half French from her father's side. Because of this, she sometimes speaks French accidentally. She is athletic, hyperactive, energetic, bubbly, sometimes shy and cheerful. Before becoming Pretty Cure, she did not have any friends and could not be herself in front of others. She is a very silly character at times, but she could be more serious other times. She is also infamous for using mixed up proverbs and officially referred to herself as "The Goddess of Effervescence and Love", a title which she uses to try to solve others' love woes with effervescence. She regularly states idioms incorrectly and spends her time finding new idols to chase, and new "first loves" to gush over. This lack of commitment extends to most of her life. She is much more athletic than Nozomi, especially when it comes to volleyball. Similar to Nozomi, she is an academic underachiever, and would refer to her at times as her "make-up tests partner." Urara is caring towards others and yet, like Nozomi, pretty clumsy at times. Other than that, she is a very nice, helpful, caring, courageous and romantic person, and can be vigilant and strong. Eventually it was revealed she is the reincarnation of Princess Frais Lemonade. Her alter ego is **Cure Lemonade**, the Pretty Cure Guardian of Effervescence and Love whose theme color is yellow and she has powers related to air/wind and creation.

**Akimoto Komachi/Cure Mint (Claire Aubrey in the English Dub; Chrissy Flores/Glitter Evergreen in the Glitter Force Version)**

Komachi is a 17-year-old girl who is in her third year at L'Ecole des Cinq Lumieres. She is a tomboyish teenage girl who is an aspiring author, and is already halfway through her first book thanks to Natts's help. She is kind, gentle and shy, but when she is angered enough, she will snap and release her hidden temper. She is tough and tomboyish, as she enjoys sports and athletics like Rin. She also practices karate. Despite her tomboyish exterior, Komachi is a kind person who enjoys cooking, gardening, flower arranging, handicrafts and dreams to have a happy marriage and own a flower and bakery shop. She is strong, protective and independent, and the most determined out of the Pretty Cure Guardians. Like the rest of the Cures, her loyalty towards Nozomi never falters. However, her tough side does kick in when she deems it's needed, like when seeing a friend being bullied by peers. She took down a group of boys who harassed Karen because of a rumor that her grades are a result of cheating. Her family owns a traditional Japanese sweets shop where she gets Coco and Natts' food from. Along with her best friend and partner Karen, she is one of the popular seniors at the school. Later in the season, she gets more outgoing and less shy. Eventually it was revealed she is the reincarnation of Princess Terre Mint. Her alter ego is **Cure Mint**, the Pretty Cure Guardian of Tranquility and Courage whose theme color is green and she has powers related to plants and earth.

**Minazuki Karen/Cure Aqua (Karen Simone in the English Dub; Sierra Streamer/Glitter Flow in the Glitter Force Version)**

Karen is a 17-year-old girl who is the oldest member of the team and comes from a very affluent family. She is the president of the student council at L'Ecole des Cinq Lumieres, and is the first one to transform prior to the series as **Cure A (Glitter F in the Glitter Force Version)**. Despite her popularity and her strong outward personality, Karen is very lonely at home and used to only have her butler and her pet calico cat River for company, and because of her awkward relationship with her parents, she has problems properly showing her real feelings. Before becoming friends with Nozomi and the other Pretty Cures, Karen was a shy and reserved girl who did not make friends easily. She preferred to spend time alone studying and reading books. In return, many of her classmates believed her to be snobby and arrogant because of her intelligence; even being superhuman as she always finished at the top of national exams. However, once Karen and Nozomi became friends, the opinions began to change. She is depicted to be a sweet, kind, gentle, smart, supportive and loyal girl who is slightly insecure. In the beginning, she relies on the opinions of her parents, classmates and teachers. As the series progresses, she becomes stronger and more confident. She is the most sensible out of the Pretty Cure Guardians and she dislikes conflict; especially the fights between Nozomi and Rin. Her favorite subjects are math and science. She also has a secret love of romance novels and pop culture, but is embarrassed to say it. Komachi is her best friend and a fellow student council member and also the only one she could tell her real feelings to before she met Nozomi. Eventually it was revealed she is the reincarnation of Princess Courant Aqua. Her alter ego is **Cure Aqua**, the Pretty Cure Guardian of Intelligence and Perseverance whose theme color is blue and she has powers related to water.

**Mimino Kurumi/Cure Lavender (Kimberly Rosewood in the English Dub; Lori Melona/Glitter Rosette in the Glitter Force Version)**

Kurumi is a 15-year-old girl who is a mysterious girl that appeared in the mid-series. She is very mature, calm, stoic, focused, strict and serious, scolds Nozomi for her childishness, and is also very selfless and faithful. But at times she could be swept up in what the girls were doing. She is a mix of all five Cures; hopeful like Nozomi, passionate like Rin, effervescent like Urara, tranquil like Komachi, and intelligent like Karen. Kurumi sometimes argues with Nozomi, though it was unknown if she does it to bother Nozomi. She also heavily criticizes Nozomi like Rin, calling her a crybaby and clumsy. She is usually very quiet and calm, as well as smart and observant, but she also has a good sense of humor and can be upbeat, extroverted and outgoing at times. She does actually cares about Nozomi, she just doesn't show it much. She doesn't like Nozomi being nosy about her business. Despite her seriousness, she is extremely loyal to Nozomi and her fellow Pretty Cure Guardians, and cares a lot about the ones who are close to her. She is described as being a beautiful, smart and reserved woman, and does not get too involved with men. She is somewhat a loner, Kurumi has a difficult time placing her trust in others, and she often depends on herself. She eventually warmed up to the other girls and had a strong bond with Karen. Though she starts socially awkward, she quickly becomes popular with her classmates. She is later revealed to be the crown princess of the Palmier Kingdom under the name "Princess Gumdrop", and is a reincarnation of a protector, Milk. She appears to be a very talented singer like Urara, whom she appeared to have a excellent friendship with. Later in the series, she gets less strict and more friendly, and she and Karen also start becoming more than "just friends". Her alter ego is **Cure Lavender**, the Pretty Cure Guardian of Prayers and Trust whose theme color is purple and she has powers related to flowers and metal.

### Mascots

* **Coco (Cocoa in the Glitter Force Version):** One of the knights of the Palmier Kingdom. His human alias is **Kokoka Koji (Chris Cromwell in the English Dub; Cody Schwartz in the Glitter Force Version)**. He is one of the mascots of the team that was sent to Earth. Coco is a yellow-furred tanuki-like creature who is searching for the Dream Collet when he meets Nozomi. He is always a kind, caring, understanding (especially to Nozomi) and very energetic mascot who trusts people rather easily, and is ready to save innocent people. He can transform into a human and later becomes a teacher's assistant at Nozomi's school to keep watch over her. He is normally calm, wise and nice as a human, but he can get sometimes mad and is strict towards someone who does something wrong or drastic. Later in the season, he starts to love Nozomi in a romantic way. When he talks in mascot form, he ends his sentences with "-coco" in the Japanese version.
* **Natts (Nutty in the English Dub; Acorn in the Glitter Force Version):** One of the knights of the Palmier Kingdom. His human alias is **Natsu Neji (Neil Ferguson in the English Dub; Adrien Diamond in the Glitter Force Version)**. He resembles a brown squirrel that ends his sentences with "-natts" in the Japanese version. He is one of the mascots of the team who accidentally caused the invasion of the Moth Fighters. In the beginning of the series, he is sealed within the Dream Collet. After he was recovered by the first five Cures' personas, he starts off as an aloof, cold, serious and distrustful mascot, almost the complete opposite of his best friend Coco. Because of his traumatic past, he uses time to get close to people, and he has difficulty trusting Pretty Cure as well as Coco's judgment. He is extremely stubborn, sharp-tongued and very too honest. And because of that, he may hurt the feelings of the person he's being truthful, though he does feel remorseful about it. However, he eventually warms up to his team and others, especially Komachi, who has a great bond with him and shares his fondness of books. Like Coco, Natts can transform into an extremely handsome human, acting as the clerk of a jewelry shop called Natts House.
* **Lilac:** A lop bunny-like fairy who is the royal speaker and chancellor-to-be of the Palmier Kingdom. Lilac is very friendly, curious, outgoing and helpful. She is always there for both Nozomi and Kurumi when it's convenient for her. Her personality was considerably lighter than that of the other five main mascots. She was much more childlike in her attitude, with a slight prankster edge to her character, and there were brief moments when she was not thinking about his mission. She had a cheerful disposition and was much more easygoing. She (alongside Coco) was also more willing to become close to Nozomi and her friends, while the other fairies mainly kept to themselves. She appears to have a secret crush on Rin, and has a special sisterly bond with Kurumi. Her human alias is **Masuko Mika (Mika Martinson in the English Dub; Melissa Melona in the Glitter Force Version)**, who acts as her cousin, and the chief editor of the Cinq Lumieres Newspaper. Whenever introducing herself, she wants people to call her "Masukomi-ka", in which "masukomi" means "mass media".
* **Syrup:** A bird-like fairy who is Coco's close friend. He is one of the mascots of the team who is originally from the Cure Rose Garden being raised by Flora. At first, unintentionally, he starts as distrusting, hostile and formally had a grudge against Coco and Pookie. Syrup is more withdrawn and aloof, preferring to spend time reading alone and focusing on completing the mission he, Coco and Pookie came to Earth to accomplish. He expresses disinterest in the people of Earth, frustrated by how they claim to love him without actually knowing him. Syrup takes his responsibility as a protector very seriously, so seriously, that he chastised Urara when she appeared to be placing more importance on being in an idol competition than her responsibilities as one of Earth's guardians. Despite this, he spends times with the group although has caused tension with them. He is also very straightforward and hard-working, but loves eating pancakes and wants to eat as much as he can, hence why he starts working in the lunch cafe in the school. Syrup has a special bond with Urara (whom he later has a crush on), similar to that of Nozomi and Coco, Rin and Pookie, Komachi and Natts, Karen and Everest, and Kurumi and Lilac. Besides his mascot form, he has two other forms; a giant bird resembling his mascot form that can be used as aerial transportation, and a teenage boy. His human alias is **Shiloh Amai (Simon Adams in the English Dub; Samuel Warren in the Glitter Force Version)**. When in mascot form, he ends his sentences with "-rup" in the Japanese version.
* **Pookie (Perky in the English Dub; Patti in the Glitter Force Version)**: A talking fennec fox that was sent to find the Pretty Cure Guardians with Coco and Syrup, and is Coco's twin sister. She's caring, heartful and can be concerned about the Guardians as her role of being their advisor. Pookie can be annoyed by River's flirting and if the Guardians are not listening to her good ideas when in battle. Rin has a very special sisterly bond with her, and she understands Pookie's secret crush on River as much as Pookie understands Rin's secret crush on Lilac/Mika.
* **River**: Karen's pet calico cat-like fairy partner that gains sentences when Karen became Cure A. River is portrayed as a slightly lazy and lovesick father figure to Karen. He often gets into trouble with Pookie and at one point is banished from her presence for looking at a nun; although he was actually looking at the church and 'hoping to one day get married there'. River still does his best to help Karen realize and chase her dreams; sometimes pulling notebooks and audition papers out of her desk and submitting them in her place. River is also shown to be the most intelligent of the six main mascots, similar to Karen and was fond of poetry. He is very morbid with keen perception. He is the most artistic among the group. He likes photography, but he can also be rather playful at times. River dreamed of being a designer and artist one day. He was good friends with Syrup and was also very close to Kurumi.
