### Past

When she was a child, Shizuku was active as an idol until she had a seizure during one of her performances, causing her to quit her dream.

## Cure Pluie

 **"Dripping Softly! Gentle Droplets Shining With Hope! Resonate, Cure Pluie!"**
ふわり、滴る！ 希望に輝く優しい雫！響け、キュアプルイ！
 *Fuwari, Shitataru! Kibou ni Kagayaku Yasashī Shizuku! Hibike, Kyua Purui!*
**Cure Pluie** (キュアプルイ, ***Cure Pluie***?) is Shizuku's *Pretty Cure* alias. She transforms using the **Melody PreTap** and her **Melody PreCharm Shower**, and by saying the phrase *Pretty Cure, Shine My Melody!*. As a Cure, she represents the droplets of hope and rainy weather, and her theme color is blue.

### Transformation

Shizuku closes her eyes as her Melody PreTap glows in front of her. The PreTap flies upwards, as Shizuku jumps to catch it. She then grabs it and puts it close to her heart, yelling out the transformation phrase. She throws her PreTap up in the air before catching it again, saying "Catch this!". Her transformation PreCharm flies up into the air as Shizuku is thrown upwards by a gust of wind. She catches the item, saying "Catch that!". She puts the PreTap on her wrist, putting her arm out and inserting the PreCharm into the opening, rotating it around before it clicks in the center. Then she takes off her glasses before starting to sing. As Shizuku sings, she taps her foot twice as water surrounds her, forming her shoes and dress. She blows a kiss forming bubbles creating the ribbon on the back of her dress. She steps in rhythm with the song, creating rings of water circling around her that create the sleeves of her outfit. Shizuku then calmly closes her eyes as she puts her hands at her waist, before opening them and lightly swiping her hand over where her ribbon and brooch appear afterwards. She taps her shoulders twice, creating the details on her sleeves. A stream of water lifts Shizuku’s hair in the air, changing its length and color. Water droplets fall across the screen, changing her eye color and forming a new pair of glasses. A platform rises up underneath her as water stairs are created. She runs down the stairs, skipping around in a rhythm before reaching the platform. A droplet forms from Pluie’s fingertips, as she brings the droplet upwards, guiding it with her hands to create her hair accessories. She then runs down another flight of water stairs, landing on another platform lower than the one she was on previously. The screen on her PreTap glows various colors and she swipes her hand over where a pouch for her PreMic would be, creating a droplet before the pouch appears in a burst of smaller droplets. She twirls around with both hands held together like she’s saying a prayer, reaching her arms to the sky as she sings the final parts of the song before running down the final flight of water stairs and landing on the final platform. Droplets burst around her, some in the shape of music notes as Pluie introduces herself. Closeups of her outfit show for a quick few seconds, as she strikes a final pose, finishing her introduction.
