## Bio

### **Appearance**

Clara has dark orange eyes and light brown hair worn up in buns with a curled strand hanging from each side, her straight bangs frame her face. Her hair is decorated by tiny green clovers. Casually, she wears a white and pastel yellow frilly dress with a yellow cardigan that has orange ribbons and bows. She also wears black Mary-Jane's and dark yellow tights. During summer she wears a pale yellow dress, a short-sleeved jacket with a clover design on the chest, and a light orange choker.

As Glitter Clover, her eyes brighten and her hair turns orange, worn in curled twin-tails held by two loops of hair. On each side is a clover with gold heart in the center to accent the petals surrounding it. She gains a pointed, light green choker and clover earrings. She wears a yellow dress light green detail and a white stripe going down the center to match her puffe sleeves. At the navel is a light green ribbon to match the fabric beneath the gold heart on her chest. Her scalloped skirt is lined in pale yellow with a white pointed trim over her frilly petticoat. She gains white and yellow boots with a light green cuff and yellow bow, matching her wrist pieces.

### **Personality**

Clara is the mistress and heiress of Yotsuba Enterprises, an extremely successful business conglomerate. She is gentle and quiet, and has a somewhat bubbly manner and is always calm. Due to her upbringing, she is a girl of many talents, from music to martial arts to cooking. However, she sometimes says or does things which deviate from popular sentiment, shocking her friends, or just show it by going and introducing things and places owned by Yotsuba Industries, and consequently, owned by her.

Despite her quiet nature, her anger is something to be wary of. Though rare, she can have powerful releases of her rage, especially if someone makes fun of or hurts her friends' feelings, and is very capable of beating up the ones at fault. Once calm and in control, she later regrets hurting them.

### **Relationships**

* Maya Adia and Rachel Woods: Maya and Rachel are Clara's childhood friends and school classmates. She attended the same school with them, and she has a close bond with them and would always have monthly tea parties.
* Mackenzie Mack: Mackenzie is one of her Glitter Force teammates.
* Lance: Lance is Clara's transformation partner who helps her transform into Glitter Clover.
* Sebastian: The chief butler of Yotsuba Zaibatsu and Clara's loyal servant. She gives orders to him whenever she wants, but he's also the person she trusts the most.
* Itsusuboshi Reina: An acquaintance of Clara, and from Reina's perspective at least, her rival.
* Aguri Madoka: Met during a battle with Regina and encourages her to be strong.
* Yotsuba Seiji: Clara's father and president of Yotsuba clique.
* Nikaidou, Momota, and Yashima: They were classmates during school-time.

### **Etymology**

* Yotsuba (四葉) : Yotsuba (四葉) means "four leaves" or "four-leafed", referring to a clover, which is similar in shape to Cure Rosetta's designated card suit, the club.
* Arisu / Alice (ありす) : The canon spelling of her name is currently unknown. "Arisu" ("有栖") is a common Japanese girl name, which comes from "有栖川", a common surname for Japanese royalty. In English, "Alice" means "noble", and is probably a tribute to the main character "Alice" from Lewis Carroll's story, Through the Looking Glass. Carroll's Alice traveled to a card-themed land named the Kingdom of Hearts, which fits in with the theme of Doki Doki!.
* Cure Rosetta refers to "Little Rose" in Italian.
* Clara means "clear", "bright" or "famous."

## History

### **Pre-Series**

Maya and Rachel first met Clara when they were young. While Maya was trying to catch a butterfly, the two of them wandered into the yard of Clara's family mansion. They also attended the same elementary school. At one point, when Clara was bullied by older boys in the school, Maya stepped in and defended her.

## Glitter Clover

**"As Warm and Bright as the Sun! I'm Glitter Clover!"** (**"The Sunny warmth! Cure Rosetta!"**)

**Glitter Clover** is Clara's alter ego. In order to transform, she needs Lance, her Glitter Charm, and her Glitter Pad V. Dokidoki.

### **Transformation**

Lance cries out his name before Clara places her transformation Glitter Charm onto Lance's silver heart medallion object and shouts "Glitter Force Makeover!" She then spells "L-O-V-E" on her Glitter Pad V. Dokidoki and the transformation begins. Clara floats around with her body glowing yellow.  First, her hair glows yellow and grows into two long ponytails. Her hair then turns to a lighter orange and her hair accessories and clover shaped earrings start to appear, as well as her choker. Next, her arm warmers and dress appear as her Lovely Commune attaches itself to her dress. She taps her feet on the ground and her boots appear.  Then she taps her chest and her yellow heart-shaped brooch materializes. Finally, her dress ribbon appears and Glitter Clover poses saying her introduction speech in a flash of clovers.

### **Attacks**

* **Rosetta Wall** is Glitter Clover's main defense, with the incantation "Stiff and Strong, Rosetta Wall!" (カッチカチのロゼッタウォール！ "Kacchikachi no Rozetta Wōru!"). In the English dub, it is "Come on, Glitter Powers! Give me a Shield of Clover!" It is the first defensive attack in the Doki Doki! series.
* **Rosetta Reflection** is Glitter Clover's secondary individual attack with the incantation "Pretty Cure, Rosetta Reflection!" (プリキュア、ロゼッタリフレクション! "Purikyua, Rozetta Rifurekushon!") She needs the Love Heart Arrow, and her Cure Lovead. She makes a clover-shaped wall that then appears and she uses it for defense. Although Rosetta Reflection is a defensive attack, the attack can also be used for purifying.
* **Rosetta Balloon** is Glitter Clover's third individual attack performed with Magical Lovely Pad. She can summon ribbons of light or a giant Lance.

## Trivia
