## Characters

### Pretty Cure

**Riley Holt** (ライリー・ホルト) / **Cure Aurora** (キュアオーロラ)
CV: Machico

* “Embrace your imagination! Guarding your dreams, Cure Aurora!” (想像力をかきたてよう！夢を見守り、キュアオーロラ！)

The main protagonist with a strong belief in miracles. A daydreamer at heart, Riley can end up coming to inventive yet unreasonable conclusions about situations, but she tries her best to make sure that justice is realized. She wants to become more responsible but is prone to shying away from intense situations. Nevertheless, her heroic direction shines through when fighting against nightmares, wanting to give everyone good dreams.
Her theme color is pink, with purple as a secondary color.

**Tokumiya Kanata** (特宮かなた) / **Cure Vision** (キュアヴィジョン)
CV: Takatsuki Kanako

* “View your world from near and far! Guarding your dreams, Cure Vision!” (近くと遠くから世界を眺めよう！夢を見守り、キュアヴィジョン！)

A lightheaded student who excels in the arts. Kanata aspires to be a television animator, but her concentration problems lead to physical imbalance, something she believes is part of herself and is disheartened by. Although easily embarrassed by these flaws, she continues to pursue her path so she can create something that will make others smile, and she is not afraid to discuss what passes through her mind.
Her theme color is yellow, with cyan as a secondary color.

**Hayley Starr** (ヘイリー・スター) / **Cure Wish** (キュアウィッシュ)
CV: Kobayashi Aika

* "Let your inner light shine! Guarding your dreams, Cure Wish!" (内なる光を輝かせましょう！夢を見守り、キュアウィッシュ！)

A motivated student who is eager to follow a nursing path as she gets older. Hayley’s heavy focus on science and mathematics is inspiring to her fellow classmates, but she is close-minded regarding mythical creatures and other fantasies. She can be quite outgoing about her interests and almost lost when introduced to the foreign-like interests of others, but she is willing to learn and broaden her horizons to new ideas.
Her theme color is blue, with silver as a secondary color.

**Estirgon Blize’at** (エスチアガン・ブライジャ) / **Cure Glory** (キュアグローリー)
CV: Arai Satomi

* "Open your heart and smile! Guarding your dreams, Cure Glory!" (心を開いて、笑顔で！夢を見守り、キュアグローリー！)

An alien from the planet Galor, but her dreams are just as powerful. Emotionally sensitive, longing to physically meet the other Cures, Estirgon releases her negativity by taking up gymnastics as both a hobby and future career. She is friendly by nature, but can be quick to figure out others’ motives, and has become weary of people with authority. She is known to wink upon greeting people, a custom of her culture.
Her theme color is green, with gold as a secondary color.

### Dreamscape

**Oguma** (おぐま)
CV: Hikida Yukari
The guardian of Dreamscape, currently existing as a heavenly voice after the attack.

**Ursamin** (ウルサミン)
A cub-like fairy who resides in Dreamscape.

**Ace** (エース)
A sheep-like fairy who resides in Dreamscape.
**Spoilers below!**

Ace, in reality a white wolf, is the true leader of the Night Knights and main antagonist.

### Night Knights

**Nyx** (ニックス)
The goddess of night that has been described in legend. Believed to have fallen asleep after using all of her energy to invade Dreamscape, Nyx is said to wield the power of casting eternal night onto the universe. To reawaken her, the Night Knights gather energy from the nightmares of others, as they believe panic will provide more energy than the blissful energy of good dreams.
**Spoilers below!**

She is not a goddess, nor can she interfere with the day and night cycle. Nyx was the original guardian of dreams, assisting in the protection of Dreamscape. Her instincts helped her realize that danger was soon to come, and she asked Oguma for help; this led to the awakening of Nyx as the first Pretty Cure, **Cure Reverie** (キュアレヴェリー). After a long battle with the mysterious wolf, she was defeated and sent into a deep sleep, and Oguma was sealed in the skies.
Her theme color was purple, with yellow as a secondary color.

**"Mysterious Wolf"** (謎の狼)
A shadowed entity that resembles a wolf and the leader of the Night Knights. He does not physically interact with the others, instead projecting through a hologram to reach them.
**Spoilers below!**

The true main antagonist, his name is **Ace**, the very "sheep" that was also assisting the Pretty Cure; Ace takes the form of a white wolf. Tired of being unable to leave Dreamscape, and to gain enough power needed to become a real being, he broke apart the Lullaby Box and defeated both Cure Reverie and Oguma. He used Nyx's namesake to make up a story about her taking over Dreamscape and having the ability to cast the universe into eternal night to respectively motivate the Pretty Cure and the Night Knights into fighting one another, therefore using more energy that could be used for his personal goal. After the reveal, the Pretty Cure and Night Knights fight together.

**Mother** (マザー)
A dark-clad woman who acts as the stand-in leader of the Night Knights. Despite her somewhat off-putting looks, Mother lives up to her name, acting as the caretaker of the others and giving them motivation to carry out missions requested by the mysterious wolf. She is not without fault, as she tends to be too laidback; she is almost always seen wearing pajamas or loose clothing under her dark clothing and tires fairly easily due to her caring duties. Her primary motivation for reawakening Nyx, likewise, seems to be so that she can finally get the sleep she believes to have deserved.

**Daifun** (ダイフン)
An introverted man obsessed with swimming. More often than not, Daifun finds himself preoccupied with pool activities, giving minimal attention to the other Night Knights unless the mysterious wolf requests for him. When put into a fight, he hides behind his monsters in an attempt to shield himself from everyone; if he were to be hurt, he fears that he will be unable to return to doing what he loves. His friendships may be strained due to his severe introversion, but he will do whatever he can to please the rest of the group. He seems to be more interested in improving his self-appeal than reawakening Nyx.

**CHyNO** (チノ)
A robot also known to its allies as **Melo** (メロ).
