Daruizen

* TerraByogen
* Civilian

**Daruizen** (ダルイゼン) is a former villain and current supporting character in *Healin' Good♥Pretty Cure ~ Idol Time*. He is one of the generals from the Byogen Kingdom, whom of which has reformed after being brought back to life by the Unfortunate Count. As of later, he gains a human form, and identifies himself as **Darius** (ダリウス).

## Appearance

He is a young, devilish boy who has pale blue skin with olive eyes, dark green hair, a pair of red horns, and a scorpion-like tail. His attire is gothic with a dark red coat, black buckle belt, and black boots with grey accents.

As Darius, his hair and eye colors remain the same, but his skin is pale, and he loses his scorpion tail and devil horns.

## Personality

In the original series, Daruizen comes off as rather calm yet emotionless. He also looks down upon the Healing Animals, getting rather cocky, thinking that there's no point trying to save the Earth anymore. Unlike his fellow generals, he is more laid-back when it comes to attacking Earth, but is more strategic, smarter and sadistic than them.

However, in the crossover, once he is revived along with Shindoine and Guaiwaru, the three team up and betray the Unfortunate Count before he could take action, and they all manage to gain the forgiveness of the Pretty Cure. He becomes more empathetic and caring towards the cures, as he is starting to get along with the other TerraByogens. This allows Daruizen to form a proper friendship with Nodoka, and he somehow wants to expand his friendship circle.

## Relationships

* **Nodoka Hanadera** – Cure Grace is his rival. Both of them have opposing perspectives on the environment. Despite the trauma he caused her in the past, and the fact that Grace has managed to defeat him in the original story, the two later reconcile and become good friends in the crossover.
* **Raki Kiseki** – Although he is still new to it, Daruizen seems to feel comfortable with Raki's presence, and helps her feel safe. He doesn't understand his emotions just yet, but it seems that he likes Raki's optimism, and her determination to do her best. After hearing about his past, she gets angry and doesn't want to speak to him anymore. However, once she learns how he was betrayed by the King, she ends up making up with him and the two become partners. As time passes, Darius (Daruizen's reformed form) eventually grows feelings for Raki.
* **Guaiwaru** and **Shindoine** – His fellow generals, at first he was uninterested towards the idea of cooperating with them. However, after the three realize the Unfortunate Count was controlling them, they all decide to cooperate. He does, however, sometimes get annoyed at them if they still taunt each other.
* **Unfortunate Count** – Daruizen's former boss, whom he hates.

## Trivia

* In episode 13, he asked at one point to become Nodoka's lover. However, Nodoka rightfully refused because she was aware of the pain he caused her.
	+ The fact that Daruizen has a close bond with Raki romantically debunks the Nodoka x Daruizen ship predictions, as Nodoka is already in love with Roosevelt.
* He is the first TerraByogen to start to experience other emotions besides fear and satisfaction.
