## **Plot**

On a small island known as Wyvern Glen, the last, tired few Dragons live peacefully away from Humans. Humans have forgotten them, reduced only to myths and stories. The Dragons are only remembered by the Paladins, ghostly remnants of the past bent on making sure that all of the Dragons are slain. To save his people, the King of the Dragons flees to the mainland and reveals their existence to find the Gilded Scales, which holds the spirits of the Elder Ones, the five most powerful Dragons in history.

Tarragon, the King of the Dragons, must find the Gilded Scales and whoever wields them before it's too late for his people, as prophecy says the humans who wield them will fight for the Dragons - and they will become the legendary warriors Pretty Cure, reincarnations of the Elder Ones and champions of the Dragons. But will he be able to find them? And who could these warriors be?

She tried to fill her life with extracurricular activities, but nothing seemed to make her happy. She is the first person to discover the Dragons, and is shocked to discover she is actually the reincarnation of the ancient Elder one, the Dragon Ouroboros. Upon taking a sacred Oath and becoming a Pretty Cure, she finally feels like she has a place and begins to feel welcome. She cares deeply for what she believes in and those she cares about.

She grew up the spoiled child of a rich family, using her status and influence to manipulate others and bully them. She learned how deeply she affected others when everybody began to hate her and she became incredibly lonely. In response, she hated herself for doing so and shut herself off. After becoming a recluse and having little to no social contact outside of her family, she became socially awkward, anxious, and very blunt. In her Junior year of high school, she meets Fayre. When Fayre awakens as Cure Alchemy, it awakens Quetzalcoatl in her necklace, and is overwhelmed to learn that she is a Cure. After seeing her first real friend in danger, however, Yaretzi takes her Oath and becomes Cure Feather. She admires and looks up to both Fayre and Tarragon a lot.

They can often come off as wise, however they don't have a lot of book smarts. They are a boxer, and live with their grandparents. Originally, they are uncaring and distant, even after learning that they are the reincarnation of the Elder One, Zhulong. They realize, however, that this attitude is holding them back, especially since they used to be caring and protective when they were younger. They vow to bring more good into the world, bring back their passion for helping others, and take a step in the right direction by helping the Dragons. They take their Oath and they become Cure Torch. As Cure Torch, they become a level-headed, quick thinker who is good in tactical situations.

For most of her childhood, she was repressed by her parents, and barely allowed out to see other children. Zhilan was her only friend, and she had to sneak out just to see them. She was bullied by others as a child for being "weird," as her parents way of life and the way they micro-managed her caused her to be ostracized. As a result, she grew up as a nervous wreck, not believing she was worth much. She bottles up her emotions, and because of this has a problem with being open and honest. She is the reincarnation of the Elder One Leviathan. When she reunites with Zhilan and discovers that she is a reincarnation, she is so relieved that she can be useful that she immediately accepts the Oath and becomes Cure Swell.

She moved from Britain as a child with her family, and wishes to make them proud. She grew up with a warm and loving family, and wondered why other people were so surprised at her good relationship with her parents, even through her teen years. She wished to impart this feeling of familial love onto others, so she decided to become a pediatrician, with the dream of setting up a clinic to help impoverished children. She has a temper, however, and has trouble controlling it when it comes to people of things she cares about. She wants to change this aspect of herself, but has a hard time doing so, and criticizes herself for wanting to impart love but having what she considers "a horrible defect." When she discovers she is the reincarnation of the Elder One Naga, she is almost immediately taken to the cause, smitten with the idea of helping the Dragons as her first "mission of love." She takes her Oath and becomes Cure Snake. As Cure Snake, she has poison-related powers, much to her dismay as a future doctor.

### Dragons

**King** **Tarragon Alabaster Drake**

**Voiced by:** Travis Willingham

**Theme Colors:** Black, ivory/white & gold

 Tarragon Alabaster Drake, or King Drake to his people, is the King of the Dragons. His true form is that of a giant, magnificent brown and white dragon, however he most often is seen in his "human" form, a handsome young man in regal clothing. He is only 18, and was made King at age 12 when his parents were killed. His twin sister, Terma, was tasked with ruling the military. He is passionate about his people, but embittered and angry at the history of violence with the Paladins. He is idealistic and hopeful for the future, however, regarding the Gilded Scales - and when they are revealed to be real, he finally feels like he has earned the title of King and can truly begin leading his people home. He takes his job seriously and has nothing but respect for all of his people, seeing them all as his equals instead of his subjects. He wishes nothing more than for the war with the Paladins to end once and for all, so his people can rest and have a home. He is willing to do anything to get his people a home, including leaving his sister behind at her request to get to the mainland. He thinks highly of the Cures, and is shocked to learn they consider him a friend. He loves them all with his while heart, and comes to view them all as part of his family.

**Scout**

**Voiced by:** Tara Strong

 Scout is a tiny Dragon, in both size and age. He is only 11, and his dragon form fits in Fayre's palm. He is angry and tired of the war, and hides his emotions to look strong for his King. He is drafted as Tarragon's right hand and takes his position seriously. He views the Cures as big siblings, especially Yaretzi, who reminds him of his sister. He takes it upon himself to be the relay between Tarragon and the Cures, and makes it a personal mission to learn as much of the human world as possible in order to help the King.

**Champion** **Terma Chalcedony Drake**

**Voiced by:** Keke Palmer

 Terma Chalcedony Drake is Tarragon's twin sister, and the head of the Dragons' royal army. She is the strongest warrior of all their people, and immediately takes off to battle when the Paladins are around. She feels a sense of duty and responsibility for her people, even if it means putting herself in harm's way. She gives up her freedom in Episode 1 to let Tarragon and the other Dragons escape to the mainland. She is a fit, strong-looking young woman, with a curly afro and three long scars down her left eye.

### Paladins

**Lady Viviane of the Lake**

**Voiced by:** Mary Elizabeth McGlynn

**Theme Colors:** White, gold and red (introduced later)

 Lady Viviane, or the Lady of the Lake, is a demonic spirit bound to the earth by King Arthur many years ago. She feels nothing but blood lust and rage at the sight or even thought of Dragons, and seeks nothing more than to kill all of them. She is the leader of the Knight Paladins, the possessed remnants of the Knights of the Round Table. She wields the blade Excalibur, known as the "Killer of Dragons." It is the only sword in existence capable of killing an Elder One, and she is the only one able to wield it. She is ghostly and ethereal, and has powers beyond what either humans or Dragons are capable of. She cannot possess a mortal body, however, like the other Paladins, and nobody is sure why.

**Panoply (MOTW)**

 A Panoply is the Monster of the Week, created when a Knight Paladin forces an evil spirit into an unwilling host. They always appear as giant suits of armor, though the design, color, theme and composition of the armor changes. The Cures are the only ones capable of purifying these monsters.

**Percival**

 A Knight Paladin, one of Lady Viviane's inner circle, and one of the last remaining Knights of the Round Table. After King Arthur was killed, he agreed to bind himself to a demonic spirit to turn himself into a Paladin. He became a Knight Paladin, capable of creating Panoplies. As a person, he is snarky, narcissistic, and only indulges in the finer things in life. He is, however, terrified of Lady Viviane and is her most compliant soldier. Anything she orders, he does without a second thought.

**Yvain**

 Another Knight Paladin, the second one to be sent after the Cures. A calm, eerie man who is accompanied at all times by a massive lion. He uses this lion to turn into a Panoply, much stronger than a regular Panoply. He was fiercely loyal to both King Arthur and his mentor, Lancelot. After they were defeated, he became a seething, short-tempered man underneath his calm exterior. Many years ago, during the fight that killed Tarragon's parents, he gave Terma her scar.

**Bors**

 Bors is a small, tomboyish young girl who took her father's place at Lady Viviane's side. Her father, also named Bors, was a distinguished Knight Paladin. When he was defeated many years ago, she took on his name, abandoning her old one and threw herself into training to become a Knight Paladin in order to get revenge. She is bratty and impatient, and always desires to get her way. She also has anger issues and no filter, saying the first thing that pops into her head at any time, which often gets her into trouble with Lady Viviane. Despite this, she is more loyal to Lady Viviane than any other Knight Paladin.

**Gawain**

 A handsome Knight Paladin who regrets his decision to become one. He doesn't like the Dragons very much, but feels as though that after so long, there isn't any point to their war. He wishes to end the war and eventually ends up abandoning his post. He was one of the original Knights of the Round Table, though he was never particularly indebted to King Arthur. He hated Lancelot with a passion, and his anger towards him eventually led to his dissatisfaction with the war.

**Galahad**

 The strongest Knight Paladin of them all. Nobody knows much about him, and he terrifies all of the Paladins. He answers only to Lady Viviane herself, and is always seen in a full suit of armor. None of the other Knight Paladins have seen his face.

**Lancelot**

 Lancelot was the strongest Knight Paladin many years ago, before the Elder Ones were killed. He was in love with Lady Viviane, and did everything he could to please her. He was killed in a battle with the Elder Ones, and this sparked many of the current Knight Paladin's rages.

**King Arthur Pendragon**

 King Arthur was the founder of the Knights of the Round Table, and the one to originally start the war against the Dragons. Nobody remembers how it started, only that it was many years ago. He found himself unable to defeat the Dragons because of the Elder Ones, not even able to make a dent in their defenses. To counter them, he sacrificed his advisors, Merlin and Morgan le Fay, to forge Excalibur. This sword is the only one capable of killing an Elder One. He was unable to wield it, however, so he sacrificed himself to summon the Lady of the Lake and bound her to the earth until the Dragons were defeated. Nobody remembers the exact deal they made, and Tarragon presumes whatever deal Arthur struck with her is the reason she hasn't assumed a mortal form.

### Family & Civilians

**Mordecai Draig**

**Voiced by:** Jerry Jewell

 Mordecai Draig is Fayre's childhood friend. He was in high school when she was in the 4th grade, and he protected her from bullies on the bus home. When he left for college, she wrote him letters. He happened to move to the same town as Fayre at the start of the story, and becomes a student-teacher at Fayre's school. He aims to be a math teacher, and was inspired by Fayre to become the sort of teacher that looks out for his students' welfare. He is always there for Fayre or any other student, ready to give advice or support. Despite being such a friendly ad heartwarming guy, he has an intimidating appearance, covered in piercings, tattoos, and hair dyed red and shaved into a mohawk.

**Eloisa "Abuela" Vasquez**

**Voiced by:** Shohreh Aghdashloo

 Yaretzi's grandmother on her mother's side. She owns the deed to the land that the entire town of Freedom's grove is on, as well as much of the land around it. The government contacts her for permission to house the dragons on her land. She is perceptive and knows everything that goes on in the town, including the fact that Fayre and her granddaughter first became Cures. She is supportive of her granddaughter, though, and encourages her to help the dragons. She insists everyone, even strangers, calls her Abuela. She plans on passing the deed to the town down to Yaretzi one day.

**Damon McCoy**

 Fayre's father, and the first person to be turned into a Panoply. He sees his daughter transform into Cure Alchemy. He is scared for her, and at first adamantly refuses to let her work as a Cure. He also knows it's the right thing to do, and eventually relents and lets her help the Dragons. He considers Fayre his "miracle baby" as doctors originally told his wife she could never have children, but somehow Fayre was born. He is extremely protective of her. He works as an author and editor, and is the one to get Tarragon his first interview with a human.

**Angel McCoy**

 Fayre's mother. She's the head ER doctor at the local hospital. She is rarely home, and as a result Fayre doesn't have a particularly strong relationship with her. They get along alright, and they love each other, but they aren't particularly close. She worries about Fayre, however, and is constantly pushing her to be better. Their relationship becomes strained later on in the series, and Fayre struggles to get along with her.

**Ixchel Vasquez**

 Yaretzi's mom, and Eloisa's daughter. She is the picture of beauty, and does part-time work as a model, but mostly stays home to take care of her children. She loves her family very much, and is an overprotective mother. She can be overly emotional and expressive, often crying at the drop of a hat, but she always means well. When she learns Yaretzi finally has friends, she cries in joy.

**Esteban Vasquez**

 Yaretzi's father. He is a tall, plain-looking man with a gentle voice. Yaretzi gets her soft-spoken demeanor from him. He is endlessly supportive of his wife and kids, and loves them with all of his heart. He took his wife's last name in order to keep the Vasquez family name going.

**Citlali, Mateo & Nochehuatl**

 Yaretzi's three younger siblings. Citlali, the little sister at age 6, Mateo, the middle brother at age 8, and Nochehuatl (who just goes by Noche), the older brother of the three at age 13.

**Lihua & Guozhi Ouyang**

 Zhilan's grandmother and grandfather. They run the Ouyang Family Clinic. Zhilan lives with them, and they are as loving as they can be. Zhilan doesn't speak about their biological parents very much, and as far as they are concerned, their grandparents are their parents.

**Faith & John Howell**

 Charity's parents. They are strict, controlling, and manipulative. They treat their daughter like an object, micro-managing her down to the last detail, including what she wears, how she dresses, how and when she speaks, etc. They stifle her and prevent her from doing most of what she enjoys. Charity doesn't get along with them, and her fellow Cures worry about how they treat her.

**Abiradhi & Kunwar Laghari**

 Josie's parents. They are incredibly loving, and are not afraid to show affection for their daughters. They are warm and welcoming, and very friendly. They love having guests over, and make a show out of everything they do. Abiradhi, Josie's mother, works from home, and Kunwar, Josie's dad, works an office job. Despite work, they make as much time for their children as possible.

**Willow Laghari**

 Josephine's older sister, a famous TV personality. She constantly dotes on her sister when they get to see each other. She takes after her parents.

## **Items**

* **Gilded Scales**: Scales that the Elder Ones gave up as they were dying, sealing away the last of their power and their spirits inside. The Elder Ones gave a prophecy just before passing away: “We give our souls to those willing to die for our cause. One day Humans and Dragons will live together again. These scales may be lost, but when our final hour comes, they will be found by the legendary warriors, Pretty Cure.” They were indeed lost as the Paladins eventually drove the dragons out of the mainland, but found their way into the hands of several different families. They were passed down from generation to generation, until they ended up in the hands of the cures. These allow the Precure to tap into their powers and give them their Cure weapons.
* **Elder Spirits**: The spirits of the Elder Ones, ancient dragons that existed long before the Cures did. The spirits are housed in the Gilded Scales, and when the Cures finally accept the spirits, they are partially reincarnated and are closer to accepting their true selves. This also allows them to have their powered-up forms, however at the cost of no longer being able to talk to the Elder Ones as they have become those dragons.
* **Elder Teeth**: Teeth of the Elder Ones, hidden away as the last source of Numen aside from the Gilded Scales and the Isla Mist. They are hidden in a secret chamber on Wyvern Glen, unlockable only by the Gilded Scales. If one of these teeth are used on a normal dragon, they become a monstrous creature that acts solely on instinct, and while they obtain unmatchable power, they also are unable to return to their former selves and will eventually die due to being overwhelmed by the power.
* **Numen**: Equivalent to magic or mana, a source of supernatural energy that allows certain people access to mystical powers they didn’t have before.
* **Isla Mist**: A mystic shroud that covers the island of Wyvern Glen from the eyes of anybody but the dragons. It also has mind-bending properties, physically willing people to move away from whatever it protects without them realizing. It is made to protect what it shrouds from Lady Viviane’s omnipotence.

## **Locations**

**Freedom's Grove:** The city in which the Cures live, and where the majority of the story takes place. It is located in the USA, in the state of Texas. It is a somewhat urban town, located deep in the Texas hill country. It is surrounded by thick forests and hills on all sides, and there is only one road leading in and out of town. People here are generally friendly, and the town has a happy, small-town vibe despite being on the larger side. There are several places of note within or around Freedom's Grove:

* **Freedom's Grove High School**: The local public school which all of the Cures go to.
* **Cafe Peredur**: A fake restaurant started by an undercover Paladin named Percival. Later taken over and revamped into an actual restaurant.
* **Circle Path & Circle Clearing**: The path where Fayre likes to go jogging in the mornings, leading to where the Dragons are currently staying. Both are currently under the watchful eyes of the government.
* **Coach Evan's Boxing Gym**: An old, worn-down boxing gym run by Robert Evan, a former championship boxer. This is where Zhilan takes their lessons.
* **Bluebell Farm**: A small plot of farmland outside the town. Run by the Bluebell family.
* **Ouyang Family Clinic**: The clinic run by Zhilan's grandparents. This is the only other doctor's office in town besides the small local hospital.
* **Freedom General Hospital**: The town hospital, where Fayre's mother works.

**Wyvern Glen**: The home island of the dragons. It's not very big, with only enough space to hold the last few hundred dragons left. It has only one major landmark, a giant, stone castle on a bluff near the ocean. This is King Drake's castle, taken over by the Paladins in episode 1. This becomes the base of operations for the Paladins, and Lady Viviane takes over the throne room.

## **Trivia**

* Originally, King Arthur was going to be the main villain, however I couldn't figure out a reasonable explanation for him still being alive even *with* magic, so I changed it to the Lady of the Lake.
* Scout was planned at first to be the mascot for the series, but I decided he didn't really suit the fairy or mascot role, so he was designated a helper instead!
* Each Cure represents an element: time, air, fire, water and earth.
