## Bio

Fleur is the daughter of Linda Hartley. She was born in Brighton, ON, and moved to Halifax in her 20s.

Since their mothers were best friends (and partners-in-anti-crime), Fleur spent a lot of time with Poppy and Lavender Gardenia growing up, and they have been very close friends themselves their entire lives. As a child and teen, Fleur was frequently bullied for a variety of reasons, and when she left Ontario she spent much time reinventing herself into a stronger, more confident person. Fleur has always had a passion for the arts, so in her mid 30s, she began to work on opening an arts-based secondary school, which became Hartley's Academy for the Arts.

It is unknown exactly when and how Fleur became Cure Marvelous, outside of it taking place between the time she moved to Halifax and the beginning of Masterpiece Pretty Cure. She is very ambiguous about these details, but has implied that she has been in battle with Illusia (the force behind the enemies of Palette, Waltz and Drama) for a long time.

## Cure Marvelous

As Cure Marvelous, Fleur gains very omnipotent magic abilities, though they are rooted in the arts (she is Cure of all arts at once, and simultaneously none), as she becomes the Pretty Cure of Creation. She does not appear to need to use any transformation device, instead possessing the ability to transform at will. While transformed as Cure Marvelous, Fleur has heightened physical abilities, able to withstand great force, as well as launch herself through the air at great heights and speeds.

It is unknown what Marvelous' primary attack is, as she is capable of manifesting many attacks, similar in nature to the other Cures at Hartley's.

## Relationships

**Linda Hartley and Mary St. Amour -** Fleur has a deep love and respect for her mothers, and credits Linda and Mary with her own ability to have been as successful in life as she has been.

**Poppy Gardenia -** A childhood friend of Fleur's. Though they live a province apart in their adult lives, they frequently make time to visit one another and keep in touch.

**Lavender Gardenia -** Her other childhood best friend. She has remained very close with Lavender, especially since they both moved to Halifax.

**Maria Wyrzykowski -** Fleur is Maria's principal, but informally she views the girl more like a niece, considering she was basically always around and watched her grow up. She loves Maria very dearly and considers her the closest thing to her own child.

**Elise Bellerose -** Fleur thinks very highly of Elise, as she is a kind hearted, respectful and talented student.

**Ana Bauer -** Ana has proven to be a test to Fleur's patience since she has been in attendance at Hartley's, yet she sympathizes with the girl for the struggles she has had in her artistic journey. She wishes to help steer her in a more positive direction, and admires her dedication to her craft.

**Violet Gardenia -** Fleur views Violet as another mother, due to their closeness during her childhood.

**Lily Gardenia -** Like with Maria, Fleur sees Lily like a niece, and adores her, though they aren't quite as close due to the distance.

**Betty Hanna -** Fleur loves her 'Aunt' Betty, even though they do not see each other as much as they did when she was a child.
