Laura

Cure La Mer

**Laura** is one of the characters in *Tropical-Rouge! PreCure*. Her full name is **Laura Apollodoros Hyginus La Mer**, and also known as **Laura La Mer** in school.

Laura's alter ego is **Cure La Mer**, and her charm point is her nails.

## Appearance

As a mermaid, Laura has long bright pink hair that reaches her waist, and has blue eyes. On her bangs, she has pearl clips, and her ears are cyan otoliths. Her top is cyan and white with pink pearls on the front. On her elbows are cyan fins, and she wears gold bracelets on her wrists. Her tail is blue with a pale pink and yellow fin. Around her tail is a pink ribbon tied by a yellow star with pearls. When she starts studying to become the next queen, she now wears a blue tiara with a teal gem and white embroideries on her head.

As a human, she gains legs in place of her tail and her otoliths become human ears. Her hair remains the same but she wears a sky blue headband. Her outfit bears a slight resemblance to her mermaid form. The top is white and light blue with a cerulean stripe on top and a matching collar with pink pearls on it. The skirt is light blue with cerulean and white petal-shaped layers at the bottom and a thin pink belt with a yellow star on the left. Her sandals are light blue with some pink pearls and light blue ruffles on top. She wears gold seashell-shaped earrings.

As **Cure La Mer**, her eyes turn pink with blue heart-shaped flecks, and she gains small pearls on her eyelashes. She also gains cyan nail polish on her fingernails, and hot pink polish on her toes. Her hair grows thicker and longer and becomes sky-blue with a pink ombré at the head and ends. Two pearls lay on the sides of her head, coated in hair, and she also has a small headdress on her bangs and pink pearls around her hair. She wears a light blue off-the-shoulder top with pink and golden accents and a white gem with long puffy sleeves that have fitted wristbands. A blue crystal shell lays on her chest with a pink bow and golden orb just below it. She also gains a short skirt with layers of purple, violet and cyan, and long white pants. She also gains white platform open-toed sandals with pink pearls and blue soles. Her accessories include a blue and white choker, pale blue pearl earrings, and a pale-pink train resembling a mermaid tail hanging from her skirt.

## Personality

Laura is very self confident, and is the type of person who will honestly say whatever is on her mind. She wants to become the next queen of Grand Ocean. She also loves to sing. She tends to have a short temper, usually when things don't go her way or someone claims mermaids don't exist. Before becoming a human, she would feel left out when the rest of the Tropical Club did their activities. She can't keep secrets.

## Relationships
