## Bio

### Appearance

As a mermaid, Coral has long bright Lavender hair that reaches her waist, and has blue eyes. On her bangs, she has pearl clips, and her ears are cyan otoliths. Her top is cyan and white with Lavender pearls on the front. On her elbows are cyan fins, and she wears gold bracelets on her wrists. Her tail is blue with a pale Lavender and yellow fin. Around her tail is a Lavender ribbon tied by a yellow star with pearls. When she starts studying to become the next queen, she now wears a blue tiara with a teal gem and white embroideries on her head.

As a human, she gains legs in place of her tail and her otoliths become human ears. Her hair remains the same but she wears a sky blue headband. Her outfit bears a slight resemblance to her mermaid form. The top is white and light blue with a cerulean stripe on top and a matching collar with Lavender pearls on it. The skirt is light blue with cerulean and white petal-shaped layers at the bottom and a thin Lavender belt with a yellow star on the left. Her sandals are light blue with some Lavender pearls and light blue ruffles on top. She wears gold seashell-shaped earrings.

As **Cure Hasho**, her eyes turn Lavender with blue heart-shaped flecks, and she gains small pearls on her eyelashes. She also gains cyan nail polish on her fingernails, and hot Lavender polish on her toes. Her hair grows thicker and longer and becomes sky-blue with a Lavender ombré at the head and ends. Two pearls lay on the sides of her head, coated in hair, and she also has a small headdress on her bangs and Lavender pearls around her hair. She wears a light blue off-the-shoulder top with Lavender and golden accents with long puffy sleeves that have fitted wristbands. A blue crystal shell lays on her chest with a Lavender bow and golden orb just below it. She also gains a short skirt with layers of purple, violet and cyan, and long white pants. She also gains white platform open-toed sandals with Lavender pearls and blue soles. Her accessories include a blue and white choker, pale blue pearl earrings, and a pale-Lavender train resembling a mermaid tail hanging from her skirt.

### Personality

Hasho is very self confident, and is the type of person who will honestly say whatever is on her mind. She wants to become the next queen of Sleepy Ocean. She also loves to sing. She tends to have a short temper, usually when things don't go her way or someone claims mermaids don't exist. Before becoming a human, she would feel left out when the rest of the Tropical Club did their activities. She can't keep secrets.

### Relationships

* **Natsuumi Manori:** Coral originally treated Manori with contempt, and only saw her as a stepping stone to her goal, but gradually warms up to Manori after she saves her. It was later revealed that she met Manori when they were both children, but she forgot about Manori after having her own memories erased.

### Etymology

**Coral**: The name Coral is the feminized form of *laurus*, Latin for "bay laurel plant", which in the Greco-Roman era was used as a symbol of victory, honor or fame. The name represents the embodiment of victory and strength. The name *Sleepy Girl*, derived from Ancient Greek, carries the same meaning.

**Apollodoros** means "gift of Apollo" from the name of the god Apollo combined with Greek δῶρον (doron) meaning "gift".

**Hyginus**: This name derives from the Ancient Greek “ygieinós (υγιεινός)”, from “ygeía (υγεία)” meaning “healthy, hygienic, healthful, sanitary”. In turn the name means “prosperous, healthy, auspicious one”.

**La Mer** means "the sea" in French.

## History

### Becoming Cure Hasho

thus gaining her Heart Kuri Ring and the pact becomes her Mermaid Sleepy Pact, which allows her to transform into Cure Hasho for the first time.

## Cure Hasho

   **A shimmering ocean! Cure Hasho!**
きらめく海！ キュアハショー！

*Kirameku umi! Kyuahashō!*

**Cure Hasho** (キュアハショ?) is Coral's Pretty Cure alias. In order to transform, she needs her Mermaid Sleepy Pact and Heart Kuri Ring.

### Transformation

The transformation begins with Coral's Mermaid Sleepy Pact appearing. She then holds the pact while removing her Heart Kuri Ring, inserting it into the lock and turning it. The pact's lid then splits open. She then holds her pen, shouting "Let's make up! Bling!", as she draws circles on the center part, causing it to glow and a cyclone of water to shoot out of it. She shouts "Face!" as the cyclone turns into several different-colored orbs. A couple of them first hit her cheeks, making them rosy, and then her eyes, which cause pearls to appear on the tips of her eyelashes and her eyes to turn Lavender with blue heart flecks. Then another hits her hair, causing it to grow and change color and style as her hair accessories appear, and the last one hits her lips, causing lip gloss to appear. She then spins the center of the pact again and shouts "Nails!" as she waves her pen over her fingernails, turning them blue, and her toenails, turning them magenta. She spins the center once more and shouts "Dress!" as she draws a purple star, which then encircles her and turns into two stars. The first star moves up her body, causing her top to appear, while the second one moves downward, creating her skirt, bow, pants, and shoes. Finally, a pouch for her Mermaid Sleepy Pact appears as the pact itself falls into it. With the transformation complete, Hasho quickly swims in the ocean before emerging to the surface, introducing herself before striking her final pose.

## Trivia

* Hasho's birthday is on June 30th, making her Zodiac sign Cancer.
