**Anji Fukuizumi** (福泉杏紫, ***Anji Fukuizumi***?) is one of the six main characters of *PikaPika Tropica Pretty Cure!*She begins as a villain named **Nimbus Dame** (ニンバス・デーム, ***Nimbus Dame***?) working under Subzero, and by association, Havoc Dystopia. Halfway through the season, Anji switches to the side of the cures, and becomes one herself. Anji's cure alter ego is **Cure Storm** (キュアストー ム, ***Cure Storm***?), and she is otherwise known as the Elysian Warrior of thunder and lightning. Her catchphrase is **"What a shame."** (「残念だ。」, *"Zan'nenda."*?).

Anji is also notably a popular idol in Japan under the name **Angé** (アンジェー, ***Angé***?).

## Bio

### Appearance

In civilian form, Anji has very long blonde hair that is curled at the ends to form ringlets. She has a perfectly straight fringe, and wears a thin black headband. Her eyes are a dark purple, and she is quite lean compared to her twin.

### Etymology

**Fukuizumi** (福泉, ***Fukuizumi***?) - *Fuku* (福, **Fuku**?) means "luck" or "good fortune" while *Izumi* (泉, **Izumi**?) means "spring" or "fountain."

**Anji** (杏紫, ***Anji***?) - *An* (杏, **An**?) means apricot, while *Ji* (紫, **Ji**?) means "purple" or "violet."

**Cure Storm** - From the english vocabulary word *storm,* meaning "a violent disturbance of the atmosphere with strong winds and usually rain, thunder, or lightning."

**Nimbus Dame** - *Nimbus* is an anachronistic term for the nimbostratus cloud, as well as an english word meaning "a luminous cloud or a halo surrounding a supernatural being or saint," fitting into Anji's secondary angelic theming. *Dame* denotes a female ruler of something, or is simply used as a synonym for "woman."

**Angé** - From the french word *ange* meaning "angel," and possibly the greek name *Angie* (also meaning "angel"); which her regular civilian name is inspired by as well.

## Nimbus Dame

**Nimbus Dame** (ニンバス・デーム, ***Nimbus Dame***?) is Anji's identity as a villain, given cure-like powers by Gehenna's Black Bell.

### Abilities

Nimbus Dame has strong lightning abilities, and seems to be able to bring storms wherever she goes. She has shown to be very adept at controlling her electricity, as she can wildly discharge it all at once, *or* focus it on a single point.

She can control the upgraded form of the Kulo'he; Helo'he, and is the only commander of Havoc Dystopia who has been shown controlling more than two of them at once (PPTPC21).

## Cure Storm

**Cure Storm** (キュアストー ム, ***Cure Storm***?) is Anji's Pretty Cure alter ego. She transforms using the Shiny Bell and Uila Shiny Paradite. She is the current wielder of the storms of Elysium, preceded by Belhalla.

Cure Storm makes her debut in PPTPC32.

### Attacks

* **Storm Rolling** (ストーム・ローリング, ***Storm Rolling***?) is Cure Storm's main attack, used primarily to purify enemies. She first used it in episode 32.
* **Storm Strike** (ストーム・ストライク, ***Storm Strike***?) is Cure Storm's main attack while wielding the Lamparadis Arc. She first used it in episode 34.
* **Aloha, Paradise!**

### Shiny Paradites/Bond Paradites

* **Uila Shiny Paradite** is the Shiny Paradite that allows Anji to become Cure Storm.
* **Tibouchina Paradite** is a Bond Paradite bearing a gem shaped like a Tibouchina, as the name suggests. It allows Cure Storm to use Storm Strike.

## Trivia
