Cure Fortune

**Iona Hikawa** is one of the characters in *Happiness Charge PreCure!*.

Her alter ego is **Cure Fortune** and her form changes are **Pine Arabian** and **Anmitsu Komachi**.

## Appearance

Iona has dark purple eyes and long hair worn loose with tented bangs. Some of the time she pulls her hair back. She normally wears a light purple and pink top with light blue pockets, a white layered skirt, and purple boots. During winter she wears a purple jacket with lighter purple shirt, grey shorts, and white boots. During the film she wore a purple jacket with a white and lavender top, lilac skirt, and white boots.

As **Cure Fortune**, her eyes and hair become bright lavender, and her longer hair thickens, worn up in a ponytail with thin forelocks. She gains a pale lilac bow with a violet heart clip, and gold star earrings. She wears a white top with ruffled sleeves beneath a dark navy vest with gold detail. The lapel is pale lilac and the vest is trim with white ruffles, on the back is a pale lilac ribbon-shaped pair of wings. On the chest is a pastel indigo and white ribbon with a gold heart and ribbon brooch. Her ruffled, pale lilac skirt has a longer back. She also gains white sleeves with a gold strap, and white thigh boots with a gold heart on a lavender bow. She gains a ring on her finger allowing her to summon the Fortune Tambourine.

In **Pine Arabian** form, her ponytail is held up by a portion of hair twisted into a cone shape, decorated with an emerald and gold piece with white ribbon on each side. She gains gold crescent earrings to match her bracelets, anklets, and choker. Her outfit consists of a mint top with ruffled, pale mint sleeves and an emerald cropped blouse over it, with white frill trim and gold lining, a gold heart at the middle with a green gemstone. Her puffy emerald pants have a ruffled, pale mint peplum and gold dangles hanging from the waistband. Her heels are gold and emerald.

In **Anmistu Komachi** form, her curled ponytail hangs from a large bow made of hair, held by a mauve ribbon. She gains mauve petal earrings. Her outfit consists of a pearl blue kimono trim with pearl pink ruffles and mauve lining to match the large ribbon obi. This is accent by pastel purple, and a purple strap holding a gold and pink heart with a sakura flower. Her long sleeves match her kimono, with a large sakura drawn on each, and she also gains pearl blue stockings with mauve and dark blue platform geta.

## Personality

Iona helps the weak and has a strong sense of justice and gentleness when she consoles people. With her sense of duty as a Cure and her excellent fighting skills, Iona goes on her own to bring down the Saiarks one by one. She is cool, serious, obtaining excellent grades, and a capable girl. Strict both with herself and with others, she can be a bit careless in her perfection as she thinks that she can do anything by herself and won’t rely on others. She also has a stubborn streak and hates to lose, and she isn't shown laughing much.

However, she has an aura which makes it difficult to approach her, thus she has few friends. She doesn't laugh because she is tense, and wants to change her cool and stiff character. In fact, she loves to laugh, to the point of spitting out her drink after hearing a random gag. It's also worth noting that she strongly believes in the power of love, even if she isn't able to really express that.

Initially, Iona was fine being on her own. But over time as she began to assist the other Cures and by agreeing to join up with them, she began to learn how to express herself more openly and fight as a team.

## Relationships

* **Glasan**: Glasan is Iona's fairy partner. Like most of the other mascots, she is very helpful and supportive, but can be a little rough. Before Iona became Cure Fortune, she was Cure Tender's partner.
* **Megumi Aino**: She first reveals herself as Fortune to Lovely in episode 8 to tell Lovely that she shouldn't trust Princess. In episode 13, Lovely encourages Fortune to work together so they can fight Phantom, and she accepts. She later softens thanks to Lovely's kindness and becomes friends with Megumi.
* **Hime Shirayuki**: Iona learned that Hime was lured into opening Axia and regrets blaming Hime. They now have a sisterly relationship with Iona playing the older sister role.
* **Seiji Sagara**: They both attend the same karate dojo, and are normally in good terms.
* **Yuko Omori**: They are in different classes. They met in episode 18 in their Cure forms. At the end of episode 19, she asked her and Megumi to team up with her.
