Ruru Amour

## Voices

**Ruru Amour** (ルールー アムール, *Rūrū Amūru*) is one of the five main Cures in *HUGtto! Pretty Cure*.

Ruru's alter ego is **Cure Amour** (キュアアムール, *****Cure Amour*****) and she is known as the Pretty Cure of Love & Dance. Her Pretty Cure partner is Cure Macherie.

## Appearance

Ruru is a beautiful young woman with downward-slanting violet eyes and lilac hair originally worn up in braids with a pair of conical buns with a black headband. When disguised as a human girl, her hair is worn in two low twin-tails held by scrunchies to match her headband, and her buns shift towards the back of her head to resemble a bow. She retains this hairstyle when she becomes good, but her black accessories turn yellow.

Ruru's full appearance.
As a villain, Ruru originally wore a shiny purple mini-dress with a black sleeveless coat over it. She also wore long black mitts and a grey and crimson cape. Her boots are black with silver protrusions on each side of the foot and purple garter straps. When reprogrammed, she wore a black vinyl bodysuit with metallic armor covering her torso and feet, and a gauntlet on her left arm that can become a laser cannon.

Casually, Ruru began wearing a dark grey frilly top beneath a white and purple off-shoulder shirt. This is paired with indigo shorts and a mauve belt, black stockings, and purple heels. She wears a black choker with a mauve diamond. When she became good, her top became pale purple with a red belt and white stockings.

As **Cure Amour**, her hair turns pale lavender and is worn loose with multiple curls on each side of her head beneath two bow-shaped buns. On the left side of her head is a purple bow with white ruffles at the bottom adorned by a gold diamond and light blue ruffles. Her eyes turn light purple and her eyelashes are curled, and she wears pink lipstick. She wears a light purple dress with white elbow-length sleeves with holes in the shoulders. In the front is a hot pink ribbon. She wears a dark purple sash with a magenta bow in the left with her PreHeart attached. In the back are purple, magenta, and pink ruffles. Her skirt has two purple layers with split sections and two white layers, with the second one slightly longer in the back. Her boots are purple with darker purple ribbons around them and reach over her knees with black and purple stockings underneath. Her accessories include white wrist-length gloves with bows on them and large white pom-pom earrings.

In her **Cheerful Style**, her hair grows even more voluminous curlier, with her hairpiece changing into a translucent veil held with a rainbow gradient ribbon with a heart in the middle and tiny gems hanging from it. Her sleeves are now puffy with the end resembling the bottom of her normal Cure form's. Her gloves now have purple ribbons around the wrist. The bow holding her PreHeart is now a ribbon with magenta and peach-colored ruffles at the end and her shoes are now lilac heels with purple ribbons. The top of her dress is now lilac with a pink bow and a cravat. Beneath it is a purple layer resembling her skirt followed by a ruffled white layer. The skirt is now long with several flares that end with purple diamonds along with an additional white layer.

In her **Mother Heart Style**, she gains a pair of giant translucent butterfly-like wings.

## Personality

Ruru was at first emotionless and followed instructions from Criasu faithfully. She then used her strong analyzing abilities to gather data on the Cures, but began developing emotions and free will during her investigations. She is also extremely analytical and calculable thanks to her programming, resulting in precise advice and the ability to remain calm in any situation. She also feels guilt for her past actions and her self-awareness, but slowly accepts her flaws later on.
