Jacqueline is the main protagonist who is an 11-year-old French-Japanese girl in her first year at Amour Academy. She is cheerful, patient, and graceful, with dreamy eyes and a soft voice. She is dreamy and ethereal, but focuses and works hard. She knows exactly what she wants from life, and never gives up on her goals.

After meeting Aurore, Jacqueline becomes Cure Angel, the Ballerina of Angels whose theme color is pink.

She tends to stay on the sidelines, observing and waiting for a moment to strike.

When she does speak, she tries to make her statements as clear as possible so there's no misunderstanding. She usually decides based on logic because she knows her feelings have caused enough trouble for herself and other people in the past.
