Demonology, the Seven Deadly Sins, and redemption

**Caring✧Cardinal Precure!** is a Precure fanseries created by Butterflyunicorn. Its motifs are the Seven Deadly Sins, demonology, and redemption.

Caring✧Cardinal Precure is a "semi-joke series", in the sense that while the premise isn't supposed to be taken seriously, the characters themselves are intended as genuinely interesting OCs.

## Characters

### Pretty Cure

#### Aiko

Aiko is your average pink Precure protagonist; while she may be a klutz and rather thickheaded, she's cheerful, always optimistic, and has a big heart. She believes that few people are beyond redemption, and tries to bring out the best in people. However, she is a hopeless romantic and astoundingly lovesick, constantly on the search for her "one-and-only." She loves romance novels and "Character x Reader" fanfics. Her catchphrase is "**Cardinaloving~**" With Lili's power, she can transform into **Cure Blush**, whose theme color is pink.

#### Yuu

Yuu is a kindhearted, but somewhat shy and socially awkward girl who serves as the team's voice of reason. She was raised with a traditionalist upbringing, so as a result she's very polite and formal, often to the point of seeming stilted, and is often paranoid about accidentally committing a social faux pas. However, she breaks out of her shell as the series progresses. Despite her formal personality, she possesses a ravenous appetite and is almost always hungry. With Bub's power, she can transform into **Cure Morpho**, whose theme color is blue.

#### Kin

Kin is a girl with an exuberant and distinctively colorful personality. She's incredibly chaotic, rather excitable, and can a bit immature, but she's surprisingly charismatic and is prone to using trickery to get what she wants. She's also rather frugal. Being the oldest of several younger siblings in a somewhat impoverished family, Kin's main goal is to provide for her family, so she has an unfortunate tendency to drag the team into zany schemes for cash. With Mam's power, she can transform into **Cure Golden**, whose theme color is yellow.

#### Yasu

Yasu is a calm, mature girl who is the oldest member of the team. She's carefree and lackadaisical and tackles the world's problems at her own pace. However, this leads to her being rather lazy and prone to procrastinating on important work. Despite this, Yasu serves as a "mom friend" to the rest of the group, looking out for her fellow Precure and even the fairies and making sure they're feeling okay. She likes taking naps whenever appropiate. With Belphy's power, she can transform into **Cure Sleep**, whose theme color is purple.

#### Homura

Homura is an athletic, tomboyish girl with a seemingly unending amount of energy in her body. She's a cheerful girl thrumming with hot blood and competitive spirit who cares deeply for her friends, although she's a massive dolt. She puts incredible passion into everything she does, and "phoning it in" is a foreign concept to her. However, she has a fiery temper and can easily be sent into a burning rage, especially when her friends are hurt. With Devi's power, she can transform into **Cure Justice**, whose theme color is red.

#### Kagami

Kagami is a cute but very childish girl whose greatest desire in life is to have lots and lots of friends. She possesses a cheerful, egotistical, and rather chaotic persona, and has a notable tendency to try and imitate the quirks and even personality traits of people she considers popular. Despite her seemingly prideful personality, she's actually very insecure and constantly afraid that people will hate her. However, she becomes more genuinely confident as the story progresses. With Levi's power, she can transform into **Cure Mirror**, whose theme color is green.

#### Lucy

Lucy is a boastful girl who acts in an overdramatic, theatrical manner. Feigning to be a foreign transfer student, Lucy is actually Luci, a peacock fairy and the princess of the fairy kingdom of Akumagical. Do to not being an actual human, Lucy possesses a poor grasp on humanity and is prone to acting in bizarre ways, resulting in the other Precure having to cover for her. While she genuinely does care deeply for her friends and the other fairies, she possesses quite the ego, although she's trying to become more humble. With her own power, she can transform into Cure Shining, whose theme color is white. As a fairy, she ends her sentences with "~luci!"

### Fairies

#### Lili

Lili is Aiko's fairy partner, and a female goat fairy. Lili is similar to her partner, being cheerful and warmhearted as well, but she's less of a ditz and isn't lovesick at all. She tries to support Aiko as best she can, helping her write Character x Reader fanfics and even trying to help her find her special someone, but she'll also reign Aiko in when she gets too weird. She ends her sentences with "~lili!"

#### Bub

Bub is Yuu's fairy partner, and a male pig fairy. He's much more cheerful and outgoing then his partner, and often encourages her to come out of her shell and not feel the need to repress her feelings. However, he can also be prone to acts of pointless rebellion. Bub has an even bigger appetite then Yuu, and will down plates of food bigger then his own body. He ends his sentences with "~bub!"

#### Mam

Mam is Kin's fairy partner, and a male toad fairy. Mam is a calm, reasonable, and kind fairy who cares deeply for his fellow fairies and the Precure, especially Kin, and often serves as a voice of reason. However, he gets angry when he is mistaken for a frog. Oddly, despite his calm personality, he has the speaking mannerisms of a stereotypical scummy boss. He ends his sentences with "~mam!"

#### Belphy

Belphy is Yasu's fairy partner, and a male snail fairy. Belphy is a relaxed, carefree, and lazy fairy whose the youngest of the Caring✧Cardinal Precure fairies, possessing a very childish personality and spending most of his time awake either playing with toys or the other fairies. However, he's incredibly lethargic, and is usually either sleepy or asleep. He ends his sentences with "~belphy."

#### Devi

Devi is Homura's partner, and a male lion fairy. While he's hotblooded, competitive, and passionate like his partner, it manifests very differently in him. Devi speaks in a manner akin to an overdramatic medieval knight, who wants to bring justice to all and fight battles against worthy opponents. These "battles" are usually things like eating contexts or casual gaming sessions. He ends his sentences with "~devi!"

#### Levi

Levi is Kagami's partner, and a female snake fairy. Levi is a gentle and kindhearted fairy whose very supportive and encouraging of her friends. She's a good influence on her friends, especially Kagami, who she encourages to be herself. She's very fond of sea creatures and loves to ramble about them. She ends her sentences with "~levi!"

## Trivia

### About the Team

* The concept of Caring✧Cardinal Precure spawned from a weird conversation I had with my mom, where we joked about a Precure season with the Seven Deadly Sins as its motif. I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I turned it into actual characters.
* Caring✧Cardinal Precure has existed since around July, with the intent of introducing it to this wiki, but decided to wait until October so they could be a "Halloween special."
* The name Caring✧Cardinal Precure is a reference to the "cardinal sins", another name for the Seven Deadly Sins.
* Despite its demonic motifs, Caring✧Cardinal Precure for the most part has the same cute aesthetic and tone as a regular Precure season. This is mostly because I thought this would be funnier then the alternative.
* Some of the characters may have their names abruptly changed.
* Unfortunately, there will probably not be a Caring✧Cardinal Precure fanfic.

### About the Precure

* Each of the Precure are themed after one of the Seven Deadly Sins.
* The reason why none of the Precure have last names is because I'm having trouble coming up with last names that both fit the characters and are actual Japanese last names.
* Some of the Caring✧Cardinal Precure are deliberately meant to fit into common Precure tropes; in particular, Aiko is your stereotypical pink cure, Yuu is the calm, blue deuteragonist, Kin is the yellow comic relief, and Lucy is the mid-season cure.
* Many of the Cures theme colors relate to their associated sin; Kin's theme color is yellow, which is similar to gold, a material associated with greed. Homura is red, since her sin is wrath and she's "red with anger." Similarly, Kagami is green because she's "green with envy."
* Originally, Yasu was planned to be a pink cure and the lead of the team; however, she was eventually changed to a purple cure and her role was given to Aiko when I realized it made more sense.
* Lucy can transform without a fairy partner because she's a fairy herself.
* My handwave justification for why Lucy's fairy form resembles a peacock even though she's a girl is that she's just transgender.

### About the Fairies

* Each the fairies (including Luci/Lucy) are named after demons.
* In addition, each of the fairy's species (once again, including Luci/Lucy) come from an allegorical image of the human heart, that represented each of the Seven Deadly Sins with an animal. For instance, Bub is a pig, because the image represents the sin of gluttony with a pig.
* The fairies were all written with the intention of being good friends to their respective Precure partners.
* Some of the fairies may eventually have their genders retconned, so there's less of an extreme ratio of male fairies to female fairies.
