## Abilities[1]

Ha-chan is shown to have abilities to use with the Linkle Smartbook and is able to use abilities and learn from Mirai and Riko’s favorite things.

As Kotoha, Ha-chan can play piano, cook and sing.

## Appearance[2]

As a baby, Ha-chan has short pink hair with a little light pink flower and leaf on top of her head. Her eye color is turquoise with pink flower accents. She wears a light turquoise baby outfit with a dark pink brooch in the center that has four green leaves coming from it. The turquoise outfit has a little green gem attached to it from the back.

As a toddler, Ha-chan gains a small ponytail on top of her head, held with two light pink flowers. Her outfit is now a dress with a pair of shoes. Small wings form on her back.

As a young girl, Ha-chan wears her hair in knotted buns covering her ears with a small amount of hair worn loose, each tucked with a pale pink flower to match those on top of her head. She gains two more strands of hair before her forehead and her wings resemble that of a butterfly. She wears a turquoise top beneath a pale blue blouse lined in white, adorned with three pink flowers. Her skirt resembles a white flower and her shoes gain a single flower and leaf.

As an older girl, Ha-chan grows to about the tallest as Mirai and Riko. Her hair grows to her shoulders and curls on the ends, with two thick bangs curling outward. She now wears a light green headband with a pale pink flower on each side of her head. She now wears a white dress shaped like a flower with pale turqouise material on her chest, accented with white ruffles, three dark pink flowers and a small red bow beneath them. Wrapped around her waist is a light green band with tails sticking down with a dark pink flower on end. On each point of the skirt is a peach heart. She also gains flower bracelets and pale turqouise boots with a vine design and a single flower. Her wings are much larger in this form.

As a civilian, she wears a dress consisting of a white and light green frilly top with elbow-length sleeves and a light turquoise skirt with yellow butterflies on it and a light yellow ruffle lining it. She also wears turquoise shoes with tiny wing-like designs on the top and frilly light yellow socks. Her eyes are also completely turquoise without her usual flower-shaped irises.

In winter, she wears a cream turtleneck with a pink flower button, a green skirt, moss green tights, and sand boots, and a green jacket.

In the movie, she wears a white lacy top with a brown shawl over it with a green skirt, brown shoes and white socks with ribbons. For the festival, she has a braid in her hair with a flower and she wears a green dress with flowers and ribbons on it along with yellow stockings, pink bands with flowers, and white and red shoes.

## Personality[3]

As Ha-chan is just a young fairy, she acts a lot like a normal toddler - always wanting to play and getting rather moody when things don't go her way. She gets rather sleepy after eating or drinking something and goes back into the Linkle Smartbook rest. Due to Mirai being full of curiosity and Riko being a hard worker, Kotoha gained a habit of doing both these things. She is very good at using magic but even she has no idea why or how she is good at it. Despite Riko and Mirai being her favourite, she still loves being around Mofurun.

As Ha-chan grows older, she acts quite mature and yet still cheerful and sweet.

## History[4]

Ha-chan was just born after the Pretty Cure's battle with Gamettsu in episode 4. Ha-chan was born out of a flower into Mirai's hands. Over time, she had grown thanks to the care Mirai and Riko had provided for her. In episode 21, she grew into her final stage and used her powers to quell Dokurokushe's dark power, but she evidently loses some of her powers and becomes a regular human. In episode 22, using the power of the Linkle Stone Emerald, she transforms into a witch for the first time, saving the other Mirai and Riko from Yamoh's super-powered Yokubaru. After the battle, she reveals herself to be Ha-chan and adopts the name "Hanami Kotoha" soon after. Throughout the next few episodes, she is shown to have great magic power at her disposal, but she tries to come to terms with it, thus becoming a prime target for Yamoh. Because of this, she thought that she was putting Mirai and Riko's lives in danger. In episode 26, she even becomes captured by him, but thanks to the other two Cures' desire to stay with her and the power of the Pink Tourmaline Linkle Stone, she is freed and purifies Yamoh.

## Relationships[5]

**Asahina Mirai and Izayoi Riko** - Ha-chan loves Mirai and Riko a lot. She usually depends on them to feed her but in episode 15, she decided to feed herself due to the two girls and Mofurun not doing it for her, which is a step for her to do things herself instead of depending on the two girls all the time.

**[6]** - Ha-chan has always been somewhat close with Mofurun since she has helped with taking care of her. Mofurun has been seen at Ha-chan's side even during her rough times like when she was discouraged about the cookies.[7]

## Etymology[9]

**Hanami** (花海?): *Hana* (花?) means 'flower' which is probably a reference to the flower like theme she has going on. *Mi*(海?) means 'sea'.

**Kotoha** (ことは?) means 'word' or 'spell' which is probably a reference to how witches use spells to cast magic.

In episode 23, Kotoha chooses her first name because she says that her heart is full of words from others, while Riko comes up with the family name "Hanami" when Mirai's mother asks her what it is.

"*Ha*" means "leaf" while "*-chan*" is a suffix used commonly for females.

*Cure Felice*, taken from Italian language, means happy.

Kotoha's voice actress, **Saori Hayami**, has participated in several image songs for the character she voices. Many of them include group songs with **Rie Takahashi**, who voices Mirai, **Yui Horie**, who voices Riko, and **Ayaka Saitou**, who voices Mofurun.
