Live! Pretty Cure!

‘’’Live! Pretty Cure’’’ is a performing-arts-themed series featuring four girls who have never done anything together, but are in a team nonetheless.

## **Plot**

Local loner Mitsuko thought her clingy friend Ayane was the loudest personality in her life. This title was soon triumphantly claimed by Cinnamon, an ambassador from the magical world of Vividus. She and her three friends seek a team of Pretty Cure to help them liberate both Vividus and Earth, and Mitsuko steps center stage as Cure Video, while Ayane soon picks up her role as Cure Radio. To help them are another duo (there’s four fairies, Cinnamon would like to know exactly what you expected), top student Natsuki who enters from the wings as Cure Theatre, and timid Etsuko, who makes a grand entrance as Cure Puppet. In order to form cohesive strategies and—maybe? just maybe?—become the best of friends, the girls need to learn everything about each other that they can.

## Characters

**Name**

Ishikawa Mitsuko/Cure Video

**Intro:**

”The eternal performance, forever replayed!”

**Attacks:**

Film Spotlight

**Theme Colors:**

Pink, white

The calm and inquisitive lead Cure. Mitsuko’s hobby is keeping notes on everyone she knows, and she always carries her notebook. As Cure Video, her light-based attacks let her be more open about her position while staying safe.

**Name**

Akiyama Ayane/Cure Radio

**Intro:**

”The voice calling light into the darkness!”

**Attacks:**

Sonic Maelstrom

**Theme Colors:**

Blue, black

The overly-hyper second-in-command. Ayane is Mitsuko’s best friend, and loves her with a fervor greater even than her normal state of excitement. She likes to make jokes, and has very good handwriting. As Cure Radio, she is the fastest among the team, and her sound-based attacks span a wide area.

**Name**

Kurosawa Natsuki/Cure Theatre

**Intro:**

“Living and breathing, all around you!”

**Attacks:**

Center Stage Solo

**Theme Colors:**

Yellow, black

The calm and cryptic strategist. Natsuki is the top of her class, but doesn’t talk much to anyone. She has a lot of self-confidence, but simply would prefer to be pondering something over talking to someone. No one can ever tell what she’s thinking. Cure Theatre mostly comes up with plans, but her illusion-based attacks pack a punch.

**Name**

Fujita Etsuko/Cure Puppet

**Intro:**

“Coming to life before your very eyes!”

**Attacks:**

Rising Apparition

**Theme Colors:**

Purple, white

The quiet lead attacker. Etsuko is very quiet and has little self-confidence. She has the ability to pop up in strange places, usually following her idol, Natsuki, around. Cure Puppet is the most proficient with hand-to-hand combat, due to her extraordinary flexibility. Her attacks levitate her on strings, allowing her access to even more areas to strike from.

**Name**

Cinnamon

**Theme Colors:**

White, pink

Video’s fairy. Rather loud, and everyone who hears her gets the feeling that they should listen…or else.

**Name**

Jasmine

**Theme Colors:**

Black, blue

Radio’s fairy. Rather elegant and polite, and prefers things to move at a slower pace.

**Name**

Clove

**Theme Colors:**

Black, yellow

Theatre’s fairy. Quiet and timid, prefers dark and sad things, and is usually afraid to speak her mind.

**Name**

Oregano

**Theme Colors:**

White, purple

Puppet’s fairy. Very loud and excitable. Cinnamon calls him a tyrant, but he denies it. Doesn’t care much for secrecy.

**Name**

Fiasco

**Summon Phrase:**

**“Marble, draw on the power of sadness!”**

**Theme Colors:**

Red

A young boy who usually carries a large club. He loves the concept of destruction, and is happiest when a Marble is breaking things. Prefers to be called “General”, although this is not his official title. Talks surprisingly eloquently. Member of Nomonus.

**Name**

Static

**Summon Phrase:**

**“Marble, draw on the power of rage!”**

**Theme Colors:**

Green

A tall man who would rather be somewhere else. He carries what looks like a magic wand, and never takes off his hood. He doesn’t pay attention to most things, and speaks in short sentences. Member of Nomonus.

**Name**

Reveal

**Summon Phrase:**

**“Marble, draw on the power of fear!”**

**Theme Colors:**

Blue

A tense woman who has the power to shoot energy bolts from a device she carries. Her only goal is to defeat the Pretty Cure and assist Granite, who she has the utmost respect for. Member of Nomonus, and proud of it.

**Name**

Freeze-Frame

**Theme Colors:**

Orange

A man with wings and pure-white skin, he is in charge of Fiasco, Static, and Reveal. To them, he is quite cold and demanding, but with his boss Granite he becomes very timid. Second-in-command of Nomonus.

**Name**

Granite

**Theme Colors:**

Grey

A magical talking obelisk and Freeze-Frame’s boss. Leader of Nomonus.

## **Items**

Cure Crystals-inserted into the Cure Necklaces to transform, with the phrase “Cure Crystal Change!” Each one is its respective Cure’s theme color, and has the Cure’s logo engraved on it.

Cure Necklaces-used to transform. Each one has eight beads and a plate in the center, where the Cure Crystals go. It has parts of the other Cures’ logos on each bead, and the plate’s engraving matches the Crystal.

Vividan Essences-Earned by whoever pulls off a finishing attack. Small stones with their owners’ theme colors.

Marble Stones-True name unknown. When broken against certain objects, a Marble can be summoned.

## **Locations**

Earth—….it’s Earth. The team goes to school here, and spend their free time during the day on the school’s courtyard or in the nearby woods.

Vividus—Homeland of the ambassadors. The populace has been entirely frozen over by Nomonus, and Earth is set to share its fate.

## **Trivia**

* The blue fairy was originally named Oregano, the yellow Jasmine, and the purple Clove.

* The names of the fairies reference common names from popular media: Cinna, Regan, Jasmine, and Clovis.

* Of the four Cures, Mitsuko/Cure Video changed the most from her original conception, and her personality was the most difficult to figure out.
