Her boots are orange with a fluffy trim, where her left leg has a knee length striped yellow and pale yellow sock with a pink bear head on the fluffy cloth, and her left leg has an ankle-length sock with a purple bear head on her knee.

## Personality[3]

Before gaining the ability to speak, Mofurun was a normal teddy bear of great importance to Mirai. Yet Mirai longed to communicate with her dear bear, and when questioned about her sudden ability to talk, Mofurun simply states she had the desire to talk to Mirai as well. Mofurun is a warm-hearted, soft spoken companion who worries about Mirai's well-being. Mofurun has shown to be both curious, wandering off on her own to explore in one episode, and responsible, looking after Ha-chan and helping out Asahina Mirai and Riko during their magic classes. While generally in a good mood, Mofurun is also shown to be sad or worried in dire moments.

## History[4]

### Coming to life [5]

Mofurun was given to Mirai by her grandmother when she was born before the series began. She is just a plush toy bear but gains the ability to move on her own and talk after helping Mirai and Riko transform into Pretty Cure. She mentions that she is excited to be able to speak to Mirai for the first time.

### Arriving at the Magic School [6]

Mofurun travels to the Magic World with Mirai and Riko on a magic train. Riko suddenly wonders how Mofurun is now able to speak and asks how she is able to do so. Mofurun says she just really wanted to talk with Mirai and Riko guesses that that must be connected to them becoming Pretty Cure. Riko then treats Mirai and Mofurun to a frozen orange and decides to show them more of her magic by thawing it out but only manages to do so halfway as Mirai and Mofurun mention it's still cold and hard, yet tasty.

After finally reaching the Magic School, Kyoto then appears and scolds Riko for leaving the Magic World and bringing a human with her without permission. Riko quickly tells her that she and Mirai became Pretty Cure but she does not believe her and tells her she will be discussing her punishment with the Kouchou. Mirai feels that it's her fault but Riko tells her it's not and admits she is not good at magic and decided to travel to the No Magic World to find the Linkle Stone Emerald to impress her teachers. After reviving confidence from Mofurun and her glowing Linkle Stone Diamond pendant, Mirai decides to talk to the Kouchou herself and tells Riko to stay in the classroom.

While Mirai is walking around holding Mofurun, she becomes lost soon finds herself standing in front of a giant tree. They are then startled by a man who asks her what she thinks of it. She tells her that is the tree which magic wands blossom from and given to a child at birth. However,he mentions that the tree has not given any wands in a hundred years. He then asks Mirai what brings her to the Magic World and she tells him she is looking for the principal to help out Riko in any way she can in return for her saving Mofurun multiple times. Suddenly, Mofurun notices that the tree begins to glow and it sprouts a magic wand for Mirai.

Soon, Batty appears once again with the Yokubaru and begins to attack the school. Mirai runs to find Riko but is stopped by Batty who tells her he will take her with him by force. Riko then flies at him at full speed on her broom, knocking him over. Mirai thanks Riko for saving her and Mofurun helps them transform into Pretty Cure. After the Wand Tree shines its light into Mofurun's bow-tie, the girls' wands are turned into Linkle Sticks that they use to defeat the Yokubaruwith Diamond Eternal. After this, the Kouchou enrolls Mirai into the Magic School.
