She is known for her excellent bravery and leadership.

## Etymology

**Hoshihara:** *Hoshi* (*星*, *'**Hoshi'***?)means "star" referring to her alter ego of Cure Comet, and *hara* (原, '**hara'**?) translates to "field", a part which was probably only added to make Hoshihara sound like an actual surname, even though it is not one, since "hara" is a commonly used component in Japanese family names.

**Hotaru:**The kanji of "Hotaru" (蛍) means "firefly."

Her Full Name means "Firefly Star Field"
