Maribel Boushizuku

**Maribel Boushizuku** is one of the four main characters of *Kokoro♡Clock Precure*. She is a second-year student at Merveilleuse Academy. Maribels's alter ego is **Cure Dentelle** and her catchphrase is "**It's super-hyper cute!**" (めっちゃくちゃカワイイ！"*Mecchakuccha kawaii!*").

## Appearance

### Civilian form

Maribel has dark pink hair tied in two buns and cruly bangs, wtih a small antenna at the top of her head. Being short-sighted, she wears glasses all the time.

She is particularly fond of girly clothes and often wears cute boots and baggy shorts. Her favorite item is a pink blouse with white polka dots and a Claudine collar.

### Cure form

As Cure Dentelle, her hair is bright pink and she wears long ponytails. She has braided buns at the base of her ponytails. Her glasses are golden with two tiny gears. She has a small top hat with a teal rose, a piece of lace and a large feather.

She wears a magenta ribbon around the neck, where a teal teardrop gem is hanging. Her shirt has puff sleeves, and her skirt has three layers that create the image of a theatre curtain, referring to Maribel's attraction for clothing and costumes, tied in the back by a big magenta ribbon. She wears a white fluffy petticoat and a leather corset with cream-colored stripes. On her feets are leather shoes and white socks. If you are wondering, all the Cures's costumes leather is magical leather and not actual animal leather! No animal was harmed during the writing of this fanserie.

## Personality

Genuinely kind but unsure of herself, she expresses herself through sewing. Passionate about lolita fashion, she likes everything that is elegant and antique. She loves animals and collects stuffed animals, but usually dosen't openly share her tastes. Likewise, she has the habit of customizing all her stuff with frills and cute decorations, but becomes extremely embarrassed if someone gives her a compliment.

One of her main personality trait is that she cries a lot in any emotional situation. She has a strong empathy with the people around her and easily attaches herself. Although she rarely dares to take the first step, she is always happy to make new friends.

She dreams of becoming a hat maker, like her grandfather, but is unable to confess this dream to her parents, who consider this job as frivolous and useless.

## Cure Dentelle

As Cure Dentelle, her color scheme is pink and her powers are sewing-based. She can transform by unlocking the pink **Cure Pendula** with her **Heart Key** and saying: "*Stop the time! Cure Pendula! Heart Clock... Wonder!*"
