She has red boots with a pink bow on the right and a purple one on the left with gold bears. Her socks are red and white with matching ribbons with pink and purple bear heads. Her gloves are wrist-length with red and wrist wristbands under them.

In **Sapphire Style**, Mofurun's hair becomes a thick bubbly ponytail with different colored beads in it. Her hat has wings and green bear beads.

On the back is a burnt orange bow, with the tails tied and a large pink or purple bear head on each side. Her shorts are brown and covered in green, pale pink, and sky blue sprinkles. She wears her normal gloves but are evenly long with a donut around the wrist, along with yellow tights and a pink or purple swirled candy on each ankle. Her shoes are light red and are shaped like bear heads.

### Personality

Mofurun is a warm-hearted, soft spoken companion. She can be curious, gluttonous, and simple-minded, and gets sad and worried during serious moments. She also has a responsible side, worrying about Mirai's well-being, looking after Ha-chan, and helping out Mirai and Riko during their magic classes.

### Relationships

**Mirai Asahina** : Mofurun is Mirai's teddy bear, given to her by her grandmother on her first birthday.

## Abilities

Before the show began, Mofurun had no known abilities due to being a stuffed bear but when gaining the ability to talk, a good sense for magic is gained as well. Mofurun is somehow able to sense the presence of Linkle Stones, commenting on a 'sweet smell' when detecting them, which in turn alerts the girls. Mofurun also helps transform the girls when the Linkle Stones are inserted into her pink brooch that is on her bow. For that, one needs to hold Mofurun's paws.

## Cure Mofurun

**"Fluffy Mofurun! Cure Mofurun!"**
モフモフモフルン！キュアモフルン！
*Mofumofu Mofurun! Kyua Mofurun!*

**Cure Mofurun** is the Pretty Cure alter ego of Mofurun. Mofurun becomes a Pretty Cure in the movie when the Wishing Stone sparkles brightly because of her wish to be with Mirai and the others, transforming into the Linkle Stone Mofurun, which allows her to fight alongside the other Cures. Her default form is the **Mofurun Style**.

## Trivia

* Even transformed into her human form, her insides are made out of cotton, which means she is essentially a large doll.
* According to an interview with movie director Tanaka Yuta, most of the staff of *Mahou Tsukai PreCure!* originally thought of Mofurun as genderless. She became a girl through the development of the series and the characters - as a fact file states, they even wanted to include a line about Mofurun saying that she is “a girl, mofu!”, but did not get the chance to.
	+ The fact file includes description of original plans for Mirai to have thought of Mofurun as a boy in her childhood, but Mofurun deciding otherwise after she became alive and telling her so in the above line.
* A rough sketch by Miyamoto Emiko reveals that Mofurun was originally going to wear an overall-like garment.
* While in previous seasons, the mascots had to transform into devices to allow their partners to transform, Mofurun is not required to do anything like that. Instead, Mirai and Riko simply have to hold one of Mofurun's paws when transforming.
	+ Therefore, Mofurun is the first mascot in the franchise who functions as a transformation device without needing to change herself into another form.
* Mofurun shares her voice actress with Hyuuga Minori from *Futari wa PreCure Splash Star*.
* Cure Mofurun is the first Pretty Cure to wear shorts instead of a skirt. She is followed by Cure Milky from *Star☆Twinkle PreCure*.
* Mofurun's merchandises were one of the highest selling in the history of the franchise itself.
* Ever since *Mahou Tsukai* aired, Mofurun's voice actor, Saitou Ayaka, has wished Mirai a happy birthday every single year on June 12th on Twitter.
