## Cure Donut

**Cure Donut** (キュアドーナツ) is Pekorin's Pretty Cure alter ego, representing donuts and having pink as her signature color. In order to transform, Pekorin needs the Sweets Pact and her Kirakira Sweet, and to call the phrase, *Kira☆Kira~Lets La Maze Maze!*. As Cure Donut, her weapon is the Candy Rod.

### Transformation

Pekorin's Sweets Pact opens, she inserts her Kirakira Sweet and calls the phrase **"Kira☆Kira~Let's La MazeMaze!"**. She mixes the pink and yellow lights, they merge into a large donut decorated with cream and Pekorin floats backward and lands on the donut feet first, creating her boots before she performs a cartwheel, creating her gloves. Next, Pekorin has both hands above her head and twirls, cream spiraling around her body. The cream bursts, revealing her dress underneath. A donut floats past, Pekorin kisses the donut and it floats to the back of her waist, becoming a donut-shaped ribbon. Pekorin runs along the donut and jumps in the air, her hair shifting to hot pin, being styled and hair accessories taking form. Pekorin does a mixing motion with her hands, saying **"Happiness and Will-power! Mixed A La Up..."** and a splash of cream develops in her hands, forming into her Candy Rod, she grabs it and poses, **"Cure Donut!"**.
