Inori Yamabuki

Inori Yamabuki is also a Precure from the GU2 dimension. Oddly enough, they appeared at the same time as the Yin-Yang duo, although they usually appear as one unit in the same dimension. Most likely, they were created not only to fight the Incarnation of Darkness, but also to protect Beastmen.

## Appearance

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

When not wearing 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.

As **Cure Angel Pine**, her hair becomes thicker and slightly longer, while various outfit details become enlarged. Her dress is pale yellow and she gains a fluffy pair of wings.

**Cure Rainbow Pine** resembles Angel Pine, but with smaller gold wings.

## Personality

Inori is calm, gentle, quiet, and shy, making her stand out somewhat from the other three relatively rambunctious *Fresh!* Cures. She tends to worry about what others think of her, and gets embarrassed easily. She is very protective of those she cares for, though she usually prefers to avoid disputes whenever possible. While she normally goes with the flow, she can also be quick-witted and nimble when the situation calls for it. She adores animals, and aspires to become a veterinarian like her parents when she is older.

When she is first introduced, Inori is a reserved girl with low self-confidence; she seeks to improve on this aspect of herself, however, and over the course of the series is shown to grow more confident.

## Story

When Inori runs into Love on the way, Love asks her if she would like to form a dance group with her and Miki, but Inori backs down first. Later at the location where the dance lesson is, she sees Love and Miki dancing and it turns out that she wants to dance in reality.

A few days ago after school, she goes to Kaoru-chan's Doughnuts Café and asks him for advice. After Kaoru-chan cheered her up, Takeshi arrives with Lucky to pick her up. When they play at the river, Eas appears and turns Lucky to a Nakewameke. When Inori try to cry out for help, there was no one to help so she decides to do something by herself. When Inori returns to the location, she sees Peach and Berry fighting Lucky, and begs them to stop. Inori tries to reach Lucky, but she doesn't listen at first, but Inori did it with some coaxing until Lucky got pushed by Eas. This gets Inori into danger, but then Kirun flies to her cellphone, turning it to a Linkrun, and Inori obtains the ability to transform into Cure Pine. Then Pine fights Nakewameke Lucky with Peach and Berry and purifies her with the attack Healing Prayer. Later at Love's home, Inori tells Love and Miki she wants to join the dance group and the both welcome her.
