## Bio

### Appearance

Milk is a pale pink lop-ear rabbit with slightly darker pink hair and ear tips. Her eyes are mauve and she wears red ribbons on her head and neck, the neck one being held by a gold medallion.

As **Kurumi**, Milk's eyes are slightly lighter and she gains shoulder length, wavy purple hair with the bangs entirely pulled back and held with a rose ribbon. Normally, she wears a pale pink and white dress with a large blue rose and green leaves painted in the lower left corner. She also wears violet leggings and shiny red slip-on shoes. For summer, she switches to a lavender blouse with white detail, skirt with rose design, and a pair of pink flats.

As **Milky Rose**, her eyes and hair brighten in color, and it now reaches her waist with a portion held up in a pair of tails. She wears a vine-like headdress decorated with a blue rose and petal-like ribbon, and gold pearls to accent her droplet earrings. She wears a white outfit composed of a corset that has purple detail and layered, scalloped sleeves, and ruffled skirt with a ruffled purple trim around the waist. Her gloves are colored to match and have a blue rose on the hand to match that on the chest, resting over a pale blue leaf-like bow. She also gains dark purple shorts and a pair of lilac and purple boots with ruffled top and ribbon on the back.

### Personality

Milk is a strict, no-nonsense type of person when it comes to Coco and Nuts. She tries her best to watch over them so they don't make any foolish decisions, and if she's unable to be with them then she starts to feel useless and worries a lot. She is unable to tolerate anyone who shows rudeness to either of the two, and initially would only show coldness towards anyone who was not them. She was also selfish and greedy, but as she began to trust the Cures and befriend them, she began to act less disrespectfully and learned to be kinder to others.

However, Milk is also a lot like Nozomi. She can be childish most of the time and only causes problems for others, even if it isn't her intention. As a human, she displays a much more mature side though and appears to be very selfless. But at times she could be swept up in what the girls are doing at the time.
