Manatsu

Cure Summer

**Manatsu Natsuumi** is one of the characters in *Tropical-Rouge! PreCure*. She is also the group leader.

Her catchphrase is **"Tropica-Shine!"**

Manatsu's alter ego is **Cure Summer**, and her charm point is her lips.

## Appearance

Manatsu has medium-length auburn hair worn in a ponytail with a yellow bow, and her bangs are composed of several loose strands at her forehead and on each side. She has big green eyes. She wears a white top with a hot pink neck strap and ruffled trim in white and pink around the top, along with light teal frilly shorts that have a gold belt, white sandals, and a necklace including a light blue shell. She also wears the Tropical Pact on the left hip and the white-pink Heart Kuru Ring on her left middle finger.

As **Cure Summer**, her eyes gain pink heart-shaped flecks and she also gains pink lipstick. Her hair grows very long and turns blonde with a hot pink ombre on top. There are also three pink and blue strands, with two pairs on each side of her bangs and another pair near the top. Her ponytail is decorated with a large pink hibiscus with white and green ribbons on the top and bottom. Her top is white with a pink scalloped sailor-like collar with blue and white stripes and clear sleeves. At the center is a magenta shell with light blue ribbons hanging from it. Her skirt is also white with magenta bows and sky blue ruffles on each side of the top along with her Tropical Pact. The bottom of the skirt has blue and magenta stripes at the bottom and pale yellow pleats along with a mint green scalloped layer. She also wears white Mary Janes with ribbons laced around the feet and ankles and blue and pink heels. Her accessories include white opera-length fingerless gloves with heart-shaped cutouts on top and pink ribbons around the wrists, a white v-shaped choker, and pink triangular earrings.

## Personality

Manatsu is an extremely energetic and motivated 1st year middle school student who moved from Minamino Island to Aozora City. She always acts before she thinks, and in any situation Manatsu says "I'll do what's important, right now!", but occasionally this recklessness tends to backfire on her. Although mostly enthusiastic and motivated, she doesn't like to study.

## Relationships

*Feel free to add any other relationships here!*

* **Laura:** Manatsu instantly starts a friendship with Laura upon realizing Laura is a mermaid. Laura initially treats her with contempt, but after Manatsu rescues her, she begins to regard her as a friend. The two have met each other in the past, but Manatsu didn't know at the time that Laura was a mermaid.
* **Sango Suzumura:** Manatsu is classmates with Sango, and they quickly become friends after they recognize each other on their first day of school.
* **Minori Ichinose:** Upon meeting Minori, Manatsu quickly becomes fascinated by her story and decides to befriend her. Minori is originally a bit shy to accept her friendship, but eventually becomes friends with her.
* **Asuka Takizawa:** Manatsu comes to admire Asuka after Asuka defends her and Laura from some thugs. Asuka isn't too keen about becoming her teammate at first, but after seeing how friendly and kind Manatsu is, she starts to accept Manatsu as her friend.
* **Momoka Aoki** - The two, although Momoka stated that she and Manatsu were not friends, are in good terms. But since both of them are now underused in *Anyone Want to Roleplay*, they are hanging out sometimes off-screen.
