Nagisa Misumi

* Pretty Cure
* Civilian

**Nagisa Misumi** (**美墨** なぎさ *Misumi Nagisa*) is one of the two main Cures in *Futari wa Pretty Cure* and *Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart*. and also one of the main Cures in *Pretty Cure: Wonder Prime* Series.

Nagisa's alter ego is **Cure Black** (キュアブラック *Kyua Burakku*). She has a habit of saying **"Unbelievable!"** (ありえな～い！！ *Ariena~i!*) when she is upset, and also **"Lucky!"** (ラッキー！ *Rakkī!*) whenever things go her way; otherwise, she might say **"Unlucky!"** (アンラッキー！ *Anrakkī!*).

## Bio

Nagisa has short, ginger hair and light brown eyes with slightly tanned skin. When playing lacrosse she wears some hair up with a pink heart clip. Her casual outfit consists of a white shirt with long black sleeves worn over a short-sleeved pink jacket, a red skirt, and black and white sneakers with light pink socks.

Nagisa's casual outfits consists of boyish and sporty outfits, mostly with colors black or pink. Due to her tomboy personality, she tends to wear shorts, t-shirts, and pants most of the time. Sometimes, she wears skirts.

As **Cure Black**, Nagisa's hair grows out and her bangs are slicked aside. Her eyes sharpen and she gains silver heart earrings. Her outfit is black, composed of a cropped top and a skirt with corner slit to reveal a pair of shorts. Pale pink ruffles line her sleeves and skirt, and mauve fabric covers the collarbone. On her chest is a pale pink ribbon, and she wears a pink belt with a heart buckle. Her boots are dark magenta, worn with black leg warmers lined in white with a pink heart on top, matching her gloves.

In *Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart*, Cure Black's outfit becomes a one piece and she gains a dark magenta vest. The ribbon on her chest gains a pink heart, and her skirt gains pink lining and an additional ruffle layer, the frame of the heart on her belt now gold to match her earrings. Her gloves and leg warmers gain additional pink lining and ruffled trim.

In Wonder Prime (and in Pretty Cure Mashup Group in general), Black uses her *Max Heart* form whether she uses her Card Commune or Heartful Commune.

### Etymology

**Misumi (美墨):** The *mi* (美) translates to *beauty*, and the *sumi* (墨) translates to *ink*, which may be referring to her alter ego as Cure Black in that ink is most commonly black in color.

**Nagisa (なぎさ):** A common girl's name in Japanese. While it can be partially translated into many different kanjis, the most common translation as a single kanji is "渚," which means *water's edges; beach; shore*.

Her name means "beautiful ink shore."

**Cure Black:** Nagisa's Cure name may be from the symbol "Yin" from the symbol Yin & Yang, in which "Yang" is white, just like Black's partner (from her own series), Cure White who she is almost exactly opposite from.

## Cure Black

**"Emissary of light, Cure Black!"**光の使者、キュアブラック！
*Hikari no shisha, Kyua Burakku!*

**Cure Black** (キュアブラック *Kyua Burakku*) is Nagisa's alter ego, and she addresses herself as the emissary of light. Being the strongest in the group, she is usually the one laying the most attacks. As a Cure, she becomes much more serious and reveals more of her views on justice.

### Attacks

* **Marble Screw** - Cure Black's first solo attack. She initiates the attack by summoning crackling black lightning from her hands. She declares the attack's accompanying catchphrase and name, and then she fire the lightning blast at the enemy.
* **Marble Screw Max** - Cure Black's second solo attack. A powered-up version of Marble Screw, with Cure Black charging her lightning energy and then shouting out "Max!," before bringing forth a powerful beam of black lightning.
* **Vast Fantasy** - Cure Black's third solo attack. She can only perform this attack if she only has a Saxophone granted to her by Abby.
