## History

### Becoming Cure Serenity

Grace is first seen in Episode 3 by walking into the dance room where Hoshizora Teruko and Hino Natsumi were practicing their dance, and Grace claimed that the dance was awesome. She then spoke in that rapid way of hers, but she suddenly pulled from her bag a third Smile Palette! Teruko and Natsumi, both shocked, ran out of the dance room, leaving Grace confused. Grace is next seen skipping to her house and humming a song, where she sees her father, Kise Eiji, about to enter their home. Grace asked if he had found out anything about the Night of the Five Stars, but Eiji said that he didn't, but he believed that he was onto something. Later, Grace is trying to mimic the dance that she saw Teruko and Natsumi do, when she heard a large crash. She ran downstairs whilst holding her Smile Palette, and was shocked to find that her father had fallen into despair. Grace then ran outside, and saw Cure Cheer and Cure Blaze fighting an Akanbe monster, and Grace then identified the two Cures as Teruko and Natsumi! Grace then shocked everyone by explaining what happened on the Night of the Five Stars, and by transforming for the first time into Cure Serenity!

## Cure Serenity

**"The power of peace, the light of happiness! Cure Serenity!"**
平和の力、幸せの光！キュアセレニティ！
*Heiwa no chikara, shiawase no hikari! Kyua Sereniti!*

**Cure Serenity** (キュアセレニティ *Kyua Sereniti*) is the Pretty Cure alter ego of Grace. She controls the power of thunder and transforms with the phrase "*Dress Up! Pretty Cure, Shining Dance!*". Her main attack is Topaz Bolt.

### Attacks

* **Topaz Bolt** (トパーズボルト *Topāzu Boruto*) is Cure Serenity's main attack. She requires the Prism Gem Topaz in order to perform this attack. It was first performed in Episode 3.

## Bad End Peace

Bad End Peace is the past self of Grace and the legendary warrior Cure Peace's dark counterpart. She also had crybaby tendencies, but she also liked to toy with other people's feelings by faking remorse. She firmly believed that world peace is impossible and that only little princesses would try getting something like that. When fighting Cure Peace, her dimension was a flower field consisting of giant flowers and a dark-cloud enshrouded sky.

## Etymology

**Kise** (黄瀬): *Ki* (黄) translates to "yellow", which is her theme colour, while *Se* (瀬) translates to "river rapids".

**Grace** (グレース): The name *Grace* is not a Japanese name, but is an English name. The meaning of Grace is "God's favour". This could be a reference to the Serenity Prayer, in which Cure Serenity was named after.

Therefore, Kise Grace means "yellow river rapids God's favour".

*Cure Serenity* means the state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled.
