## Cure Knight

```
The Protective hero of my fairytale! Cure Knight (私のおとぎなし保護者ヒーロー！キュアナイト！Watashi no otogibanashi no hogo hīrō! Kyua Naito!)

```

Cure Knight (キュアナイト) is Mayu’s Pretty Cure alter ego. In order to transform, she needs to say ”Pretty Cure! Shining Activation!”. In this form, she can be able to jump in slow motion.

### Transformation sequence

The sequence begins with Mayu’s PrePhone opening up and her reflection is shown in the mirror. She is now wearing a green translucent dress and she then shouts “Pretty Cure! Shining Activation!” as the buns of her hair dissapear, and her hair becomes down. Her Cure Charm appears and she then shouts “Heart!” as she grabs it and inserts it into the phone. Then a small light pink stylus-like pen appears, which she takes and presses the light pink stars, saying “heroic” when pressing the first one and “stars” after pressing the second one. Beams of dark green and white-coloured light respectively shine from the small button-like part of the phone after she presses them. She then shouts “Straight Heart!” as she uses the stylus to mix the two lights together, which spin around and coalesce into a string-like substance. Part of it becomes a trampoline for Mayu to stand on top of as vines swirl above her.

She then jumps up into the air and then her hair turns into a green colour with her eyes brightening to green. She is wearing a a mechanised spacesuit. Her hair is styled into a ponytail. The energy covers Mayu’s arms, forming her gloves. She causes her mouth extensions to appear by making the energy on her mouth. Her helmet appears along with her boots. She then introduces herself before striking her finishing pose.
