Fujimoto Shizuka

**Shizuka Fujimoto** (藤本静花) is one of the main four characters in Mystic Tale! Pretty Cure. A cowardly, introverted girl, she bears the key of the shark as **Cure Snap** (キュアスナップ). She is Kago's successor.

## Personality

Called the "tragic beauty", Shizuka is a beautiful girl who has the personality of a cowardly cat. She is not very pleasant to talk to at first; she holds a negative view of the world and has a small amount of trust towards people. She is very timid and tends to stutter over her words.

However, getting to know her, you can find an intelligent girl who is passionate for knowledge. Ask her about any topic and she will most likely ramble for hours on end. She loves to bake and tend to flowers, so expect a lot of small gifts if she's comfortable with you. She is also a very handy person- she can easily repair and fix things with a mere look at the instructions.

As Cure Snap, she becomes the complete opposite of what she usually is...

## Cure Snap

**"A piercing power, Cure Snap!"**
あるけたたましい力、キュアスナップ！
*Aru ketatamashī chikara, Kyua Sunappu!*

**Cure Snap** (キュアオデット*)* is Shizuka's alter ego, representing the Tiger Shark. She twists her mystic key into her mystic lock in order to transform. The former holder of the key and lock was Kago. She tends to take an offensive stance in battle, not shy to get up-front and close to her opponents. She is able to summon large waves or tsunamis to do her bidding.

Spoilers for Episode 6.

It is revealed in episode 6 that Kago is in a half corrupted state, making her able to control Cure Snap at any time regardless of Shizuka's wishes.

### **Attacks**

* **Rise of The Waves** (波の上昇; *Nami no Jōshō*): Snap's main finisher. She summons a tsunami that she directs with her spiked mace. It washes away and purifies the Corrupted Tale, engulfing it in a black light.
* **Jawbreaker** (ジョーブレイカー): A defensive attack. She uses her sharp teeth to cut or slash away at blocked areas. Useful for obstacles Odette or Heartache are unable to destroy. She can also use it on her enemies, which can cause serious damage.
* **Bite** (バイト): As the name implies, she bites enemies. Compared to Jawbreaker, bite can inflict poison in the opponent when her teeth sink into their body. She can bypass the oil because her bite can make it shrink away.

### **Takeover**

In takeover (when Kago gains control of Cure Snap's body), Snap is far more destructive and pays no mind to allies and opponents alike. Water will engulf the area and become a violent tide. She is unaware of her surroundings and will merely go without caution or thought, with her only goal in mind to destroy. Out of all of the cures, her takeover is the most unstable.
