Iori Shirogane

"*Sometimes I think the universe just waits for me to get cocky.*"— Iori
**Iori Shirogane** (白金 伊織, ***Iori Shirogane***?) is one of the main protagonists of *Chojo Gensho Pretty Cure!*. Her alter ego is **Cure Hexerei** (キュアルミエール, ***Cure Hexerei***?), and she is the Pretty Cure of alchemy.

## Bio

### Appearance

Iori usually has her short, blonde hair down with a white bow. Her crystal blue eyes are a standout from the rest of her face but are blocked by her black, circle glasses. She wears a beige cardigan over her blue vest and white collar shirt. On the bottom, she wears a black pleated skirt. Her outfit is completed with white, thigh-high socks and black high tops.

### Personality

Iori is the lead investigator for the Ghostbusters group. Academic wise, she is stupendous, but it is mostly because of her strict parents. She is usually super busy and has no time for any fun activities because of either homework, family work, or something to do with the ISA. She is the quietest of the girls and is really skeptical, usually agreeing with Kokoro about dangerous stuff.

### Relationships

* Konatsu Hidaka - She bugs Iori a lot with silly things, to which Iori stubbornly ignores.
* Rei Kaminari - Iori's best friend and science partner. They are childhood friends.
* Kokoro Akamine - Someone that Iori got to know throughout the years.
* Kimi Amami - A close friend of Iori, they both need to confess to each other.
* Slimer - He's like a pet and a lab rat to Iori.
* Sekichi Shirogane - Iori feels like her uncle has been treating her like a kid, and that he doesn't believe that what she does is sustainable.
* Chloe Shiroi - They dislike each other and feel uncomfortable around each other.

## Cure Hexerei

**"Spread the love or bite the dust! Cure Hexerei!"**
愛を広めるか、ほこりをかむ！キュアルミエール！
*Ai o hiromeru ka, hokori o kamu! Kyuā Hexerei!*

**Cure Hexerei** (キュアルミエール, ***Cure Hexerei***?) is the alter ego of Iori. She was originally given to **Etta** (エッタ, ***Etta***?) and she represents the love of this world. She has the ability to either transform separately or as a group with her teammates.

### Special Attacks

* **Lovely Prism** (ラブリープリズム, ***Lovely Prism***?) is Iori's basic special attack. The prism shoots out rainbow beams instead of proton beams because Iori replaces the top of her Ghoul Baton with a glass one and summons a light. Since it's solely a light attack, it's not really that useful.
* **Sky Blue Star** (スカイブルースター, ***Sky Blue Star***?) is the second attack of Cure Hexerei. She throws a star summoned by her baton. She wears Sky Blue Star-proof gloves, so she can throw them just fine.
* **Lure of Blue** (ルアーオブブルー, ***Lure of Blue***?) is Iori's first final attack.
* **Majiwaru Ethereal Crescent Proton Stream** (交わる・エセリアル・クレセント・プロトン・ストリーム, ***Majiwaru Ethereal Crescent Proton Stream***?): A group attack she performs with Cure Starlight, Cure Fantasma, and Cure Anima. She uses her Ghoul Baton in this attack.

### Weapons

* **Ghoul Baton** (グールバトン, ***Ghoul Baton***?) is the basic weapon for all of the Chojo Gensho Pretty Cure. They can shoot proton beams and turn into parachutes, but Cure Hexerei's baton allows her to summon light.

* **Hexenrevolver** (???) is a weapon used by both Etta and Iori, although Iori is not a frequent user of it.
* **Handgun Duo** (拳銃デュオ, ***Handgun Duo***?) is the name of the dual guns Spectral Iori uses. She only uses the weapons once in the series, and Etta and Iori are never seen with them.

## Trivia

* Iori is the anime counterpart of Dr. Egon Spengler.
* Iori is the first blue Pretty Cure with blonde hair.
* Iori is the fourth blue Pretty Cure who doesn't have blue hair, preceded by Miki Aono, Ellen Kurokawa, and Sayuri Mori.
* Her name used to be **Chie Nagai** (永井 千恵, ***Chie Nagai***?), and later on **Chie Nagai** (永井 智恵, ***Chie Nagai***?) but spelled differently, but the name was changed to sound more regal and not to confuse her name with the word "negai", meaning "wish" in Japanese.
* Her super form was originally called Mage Hexerei.
