Yukimura Shion

**Shion Yukimura** (幸村紫苑) is one of the main four characters in Mystic Tale! Pretty Cure. A kind, helpful, yet grumpy girl, she bears the key of the swan as Cure Odette (キュアオデット). She is Tsubasa's successor.

## Personality

Shion, usually, holds a helpful, kind demeanor. She tends to be a selfless person: putting others needs before hers. Because of this, she is well known throughout her high school as a person who will offer a shoulder or guidance to anyone she meets.

However, she can also be a bit grumpy, especially with Youko. It would be best to leave her be when she is in a bad mood...

As helpful and kind as she kind be, Shion purposefully shapes and mends her personality to appeal to different people. In result, she has a hard time figuring out who she truly is.

## Cure Odette

**"From an everlasting radiance, Cure Odette!"**
永遠の輝きから、キュアオデット！
*Eien no kagayaki kara, Kyua Odetto!*

**Cure Odette** (キュアオデット*)* is Shion's alter ego, representing the Tundra Swan. She twists her mystic key into her mystic lock in order to transform. The former holder of the key and lock was Tsubasa. She is a offensive fighter who tends to fight at a distance.

### **Attacks**

* **Swan Lake** (白鳥の湖; *Hakuchō no mizūmi*): Odette's finisher. She uses her staff to summon ice that blasts at the Corrupted Tale and purifies it, engulfing it in a blue light.
* **Icy Axel** (あいしアクセル): A defensive attack. Odette's shoes transform into skates as she does a double axel jump that can flick ice shards to her opponents. Severity of damage depends on how hard she lands.
* **Freezing Lutz** (ふりぢぐルッツ): An attack where Odette will tap her toepick down on the ground, which creates a sliver of ice for her to skate on when her shoes switch to ice skates. It can also grow onto Corrupted Tales and opponents depending on her energy.

### **Takeover**

In takeover (when Tsubasa gains control of Cure Odettes's body), she fights in a more elegant manner. A harsh snow blizzard will begin to emerge and it will get stronger the more damage is made. She will move with ballet stances and moves, though is visually murderous in her execution. She relies more on her staff during takeover. Out of the four, Odette's Takeover is the 2nd most unstable, mostly due to Tsubasa's fighting tendencies.
