## Bio

### Appearance

Her casual outfit was designed by Manori, consisting of a light Cyan mini-dress with fuchsia lining and sleeves to accent the ribbon design on the chest, a white long sleeved top, denim knee-length pants, and fuchsia flats. .

As **Cure Izumi**, Izumi's eyes and hair become bright Cyan and her hair grows longer, worn up in a ponytail with a hot Cyan ribbon adorned by a white and Cyan flower. She gains a hot Cyan choker and Cyan flower earrings. Her white mini-dress has bell flower sleeves and hot Cyan lining, a band of light Cyan going down each side of the chest to accent the petals of her skirt. On each hip is a pale Cyan flower, and on the chest is a hot Cyan ribbon with a silver and cyan heart brooch in the center. Her wrist accessories accent her skirt, and she gains white below the knee boots with light and hot Cyan detail and a flower on the side of the foot.

### Personality

Izumi is a shy and timid introvert who usually keeps to herself, hesitant to speak openly unless approached first. She often worries over small things and is easily worked up, especially when scared or trying to handle more energetic people like Manori. She strongly wants to shed this aspect of herself and over the series manages to become more easygoing and willing to speak her mind thanks to Manori's friendship and encouragement, until she became confident enough to accept her negative qualities.

Izumi is a kind girl as well, and would never say anything to hurt anyone or make them feel as though she depended on them if it could make them unhappy. She loves flowers and dreams of becoming a botanist to spread flowers and make people happy.

Due to her relationship and frequent visits with her grandmother, she has picked up her old-fashioned speech pattern.

### Relationships

* **Kurumi Manori:** In the beginning, Izumi was unable to handle Manori's energetic and forward personality, and often finds herself speechless before her. However, after she gets to know about Manori's problems while fighting a Desertrian, Izumi gives Manori another chance. While still feeling awkward, Tsubomi looks up to Manori for her strong personality and great athletic abilities, to the point that she, as Cure Izumi, feels that she is holding Manori back. As time goes on, she and Manori have become best friends, and Manori is usually the one Izumi confides in or invites to do activities.
	+ **Tsukikage Masy:** Izumi highly respects Masy and cares about her. When she finds out the truth about Masy's tragic past, she doesn't run up and hug her like Manori, but she does seem highly affected and really sad. She later gains Masy's respect and friendship, after Masy finally accepts Izumi as her friend. Izumi is also the one who motivates Masy to fight again after Sabaku dies in the hands of Dune.
* **Chara:** Izumi's mascot partner takes a big sister role to her. Chara initially considered her weak, but after getting Manori's Heart Flower back, she put her full trust in her. They get along great and care for each other.
	+ **Myoudouin Nakiko:** Izumi fell for Nakiko at first sight until discovering she was actually another girl, leaving her heartbroken. However, she strongly supports Nakiko's attempts to embrace a feminine side and is shown to still admire her. She convinced Nakiko to join the fashion club. Nakiko comforts Izumi whenever she feels afraid, and they quickly form a close friendship.

### Etymology

**Hanasaki (花咲?):** Hana (花) is "flower" while saki (咲) is "bloom". Together, Hanasaki stands for "blooming flower".

**Izumi (いずみ?):** Izumi stands for "Izumi", another reference to her love of flowers and flower-based powers, and also may refer to Izumi's inexperience and eventual growth as a Cure. As revealed in episode 43, her mother gave her this name because when she was born, she was thinking of a given name and laid her eyes outside the window, there were blooming buds.

**Cure Izumi** is short for Cherry Blossom and it is a name she gave herself, after laying eyes upon a blossoming tree. H7S01

## History

### New Life

Izumi summons the courage she needs and transforms into Cure Izumi.H7S01

## Cure Izumi

   **"A single flower blooming on the earth, Cure Izumi!"**大地に咲く一輪の花、キュアイズミ！
*Daichi ni saku ichirin no hana, kyuaizumi!*

**Cure Izumi** (キュアイズミ?) is Izumi's 7 S alter ego. Unlike the former 7 S-duos in the franchise, Izumi does not need to be together with her partner, Cure Manori, to transform. Izumi transforms by saying "7 S! Open My Heart!".

### Transformation

First, Izumi's Heart Perfume appears. Chara creates a Heart Seed for her and she shouts, "7 S! Open My Heart!" She puts it to her Heart Perfume and she sprays perfume on the top part of her body, creating her top and skirt. Then Cyan light creates her shoes. She sprays her perfume many times to her hands, and it creates her gloves. Her hair color changes from red to Cyan and she creates her hair ornaments and earrings with her perfume. She puts her perfume to her skirt and it changes into a little pink and white colored waist bag. Cure Blossom jumps down and recites her introductory speech.
