### Etymology

**Aono (蒼乃):** *Ao* (蒼) means *blue*, an obvious reference to her color scheme. *No* (乃) indicates the possessive form, but in this case, is probably only included as a common component in Japanese surnames rather than having any special meaning having to do with Miki's powers or personality.

**Miki (美希):** *Mi* (美) translates to *beauty*, and *ki* (希) translates to *hope*, a reference to her title as the Cure or Symbol of Hope. The *ki* in her brother Kazuki's name is the same kanji.

Her name means: "The blue beautiful hope."

## Cure Berry

**"The blue heart is the emblem of hope. Freshly-gathered, Cure Berry!"**ブルーのハートは希望の印。つみたてフレッシュ、キュアベリー！
*Buruu no hāto wa kibō no shirushi. Tsumitate furesshu, Kyua Berī!*

**Cure Berry** (キュアベリー *Kyua Berī*) is the Pretty Cure alter ego of Miki. In order to transform, she needs her Pickrun Burun and Linkrun. Berry's suit symbol is the spade.
