* **Hizuru Ushio** (潮 緋鶴, *Ushio Hizuru*?)

Voiced by: Fuyuka Ono

Having been living in a rich household, with everything that can be solved with money, she has developed a superiority complex, considering herself above people, and looks down on others. She might be pushy and haughty at first glance, but actually she has no friends, and is struggling because of it. Her alter ego is **Cure Cruiser** (キュア・クルーザー, *Kyua Kurūzā*?), Pretty Cure of Bonds.

* **Nenemu Funabashi** (船橋 寧々夢, *Funabashi Nenemu*?)

Voiced by: Kanae Shirosawa

The daughter of the Mayor and the Student Council President of Funabashi Municipal School. Cultured, polite and graceful, everyone at school looks on and respects her. However, she has a habit of bottling up her emotions and conceals her hobbies, almost to the point of losing her own standpoint. Her alter ego is **Cure Submersible** (キュア・サブマーシブル, *Kyua Sabumāshiburu*?), Pretty Cure of Affection.

### Allies

* **Gannet** (ガネット, *Ganetto*?)

Voiced by: Megumi Ogata

A seagull saved by Seika after the incident. Downright and ingenuous, he always helps the Cures in need. Sometimes, he still finds troubles understanding humans, often oblivious to their terminologies or slangs.

### Antagonists

* **Iceberg** (アイスバーグ, *Aisubāgu*?)

Voiced by: Mugihito

The main villain of the series, but seldom does he appear in front of the others and only communicates through telepathy or via his subordinate Molly. He is said to be the one behind the incident in Funabashi.

* **Zagrya** (ザグリア, *Zaguria*?)

The "monster of the week" of the series, created by pouring Kerosene to an object. After being purified, the object turns into a more eco-friendly version of it. The more Kerosene is poured into the object, and the more contaminated the object is, the stronger it becomes.

* **Molly** (モリー, *Morī*?)

Voiced by: Akari Kitou

An eccentric and unpredictable maiden who has been working under Iceberg before Propellian. Almost emotionless in most situations, she is more than a listener and an observer than attending battle with the others. She is the strategist of the crew, and others call her "Milady".

* **Hellion** (ヘリオン, *Herion*?)

Voiced by: Takuma Nagatsuka

The first antagonist to appear in the series. Reckless, mischievous and inconsiderate, he does things on his own whim, and is noticeably childish among others. To him, the contaminated, polluted scenery is considered art. He is shown to have artistic skill as well.

* **Propellian** (プロペリアン, *Puroperian*?)

Voiced by: Rikiya Koyama

The second antagonist to appear in the series. He is one of the most scant people who has been working under Iceberg before the other villains were recruited. Calm and collected, he also likes to provoke others to analyse their personality and weaknesses.

### Supporting characters

* **Furumi Tange** (丹下 古海, *Tange Furumi*?)

Seika's mother. A standard, typical type of housewife. However, she is sometimes too overprotective towards her daughter, making Seika occasionally uncomfortable.

* **Wataru Ushio** (潮 航流, *Ushio Wataru*?)

Hizuru's father, working as a successful detective in his own private investigation department. Having solved countless cases impeccably, his annual earnings each month is extremely luxuriant. He transfers to Funabashi Town with Hizuru on a business trip as the Chief, solving the anomalies surrounding the area. Hizuru affectionately calls him "Papa" (パパ, *"Papa"*?).

* **Ayumu Funabashi** (船橋 歩夢, *Funabashi Ayumu*?)

The Mayor and Nenemu's father. As the incident happened in Funabashi Town, he chose to keep silent about the whole thing. Both residents and outsiders see him as a cowardly, irresponsible man.

* **Shizumu Funabashi** (船橋 静夢, *Funabashi Shizumu*?)

Ayumu's wife, who also is Nenemu's mother. As the incident happened in Funabashi Town, she chose to keep silent about the whole thing along with her husband. While supposedly being married to her now-spouse because her family was in debt, she genuinely cares for her husband and daughter. However, her stubbornness and judgemental personality prevents her from seeing the good side in people she deems as "improper".

* **Aito Hokaze** (帆風 藍兎, *Hokaze Aito*?)

Voiced by: Maaya Uchida

Mio's younger brother, who is also a classmate of Hizuru. A carefree young man with an ambition to be a photographer.

## Items

* **Navigation Gyrocompass** (ナビゲーション・ジャイロコンパス, *Nabigēshon Gairokonpasu*?)

The Cures' transformation device. They are gold (silver for Cure Submersible), resembling a compass, with a chain and decorated with unique designs for each Cure. Inside the cover are numerical signs and a firneedle, under it is a map of Funabashi town. To transform, they need to say the phrase ***"Pretty Cure Navigation, Launch!"*** (プリキュア・ナビゲーション、ローンチ！, *Purikyua Nabigēshon, Rōnchi!*?). After transforming, they rest on the Cures' waist like a purse, storing energy for them to perform purification attacks. Normally, they function as normal compasses.

* **Kerosene** (ケロセネ, *Kerosene*?)

A black, oil-like substance that used to be the cause of the incident in Chapter 1, also used to summon Zagrya. It is usually contained in a small bottle brought by the antagonists.
