## History

### Becoming Cure Rose

Hanae was at her house, doing her homework with her best friend Myoudouin Hinata. However, despite how hard she tried, Hanae got all the questions wrong. Hinata decided to do it at lunchtime the next day, and the two girls decided to call it a night, and Hinata went home. Hanae packed up her things and placed them in her bag, when she went out on her balcony and stared at the stars. She prayed to them and wished to know what her purpose in life was. However, a shooting star appeared, only, it headed straight towards Hanae's house! It banged into Hanae, and it was revealed to be an injured creature. Hanae, feeling a sense of compassion, decided to nurture the creature back to health, but when she leaned down to touch the creature, her hand started to glow, and the creature was instantly healed. The creature got up and thanked Hanae for helping her. Hanae was shocked that the creature could speak, but the creature kept on going. She said that her name was Chypre, and she was from the Tree of Hearts, and she was trying to find her lost partner, Cure Blossom. When Hanae asked why her hand glowed, Chypre said that Hanae had an unknown connection with Cure Blossom. However, the two heard a noise outside, and they saw a little girl with brown hair and green eyes staring straight at them. Hanae asked the girl to leave immediately, and she did. The next day, Hanae was fretting because she didn't finish her homework, and told Hinata about it, when Akiyama-sensei snapped at her. At lunchtime, she sees the same girl from the night before. The introduced herself as Aranya, a Desert Emissary. She saw Hinata and saw that her Heart Flower was wilting due to her worries over her homework with (probable) incorrect questions. Aranya then turned Hinata into a Desertrian. Hanae is shocked, however, she hears a girl whisper in her head. The voice tells her to ask Chypre for the Heart Ring, and transform into a Pretty Cure. Hanae obeyed the voice, and asked Chypre for the ring. Chypre was shocked that Hanae asked this, but agreed. And so Hanae used the power of the Heart Ring and transformed into a soldier of Pretty Cure, Cure Rose!

### Hotaru's Purification

In HPCR32, Hotaru ran in front of the Cures and tried to protect them. She said that she knew where Cure Blossom was, and said that Cure Blossom was finally free from Lady Sabakuno Namida's control.

Lady Sabakuno Namida denied it, and summoned black flames to surround Hotaru. But as soon as the flames had formed a circle around Hotaru, the flames turned orange. She said that the flames surrounding her were flames filled with love. Hotaru said that she understood the true meaning of love, and thanked Cure Rose for teaching her.

She shouted that Cure Blossom is now free, and there was a sudden flash of light, and Hotaru absorbed all of the light. She opened her eyes, which had turned pink again. Her body began to glow, and Kaoruko said that Cure Blossom truly was free, because Hotaru recited her introduction, and introduced herself as Cure Blossom.

### The Final Battle and Transformation into Dreaming Rose

In HPCR48, it was Cure Rose vs Laverna, as they both battle for the fate of the world. However, Laverna manages to persuade Cure Rose that people who were once evil will always stay evil, and she was nothing but a mere test. Cure Rose then began to fall into despair, and so Laverna stole her Heart Flower. A trapped Cure Rose then began to fall deeper into despair, however, the other five Cures managed to reach Cure Rose, explaining what hope was. Cure Rose then summoned the power of flowers to break free from the crystal sphere, and she transformed into her final and most powerful form: Dreaming Rose.

In HPCR49, Dreaming Rose battled for the fate of the world against Laverna, and thus, a raging war began. Dreaming Rose proved to be more powerful than Laverna when she finally got the chance to perform her most powerful attack: Heartful Miracle. Laverna, Hajar and Marudeva were then given a second chance at life. The last few minutes of the episode showed the five main Cures walking together, when they met up with their twins to have lunch together. Hanae stayed behind, and asked the viewers what their story was.

## Cure Blossom Mirage

Cure Blossom Mirage is the past self of Hanae and the legendary warrior Cure Blossom's dark counterpart. She was unconfident that Tsubomi can change and become a more confident person, and thought that Tsubomi should give up or she will only get hurt.

## Etymology

**Hanasaki** (花咲): *Hana* (花) translates to "flower" while *Saki* (咲) translates to "bloom". Together, Hanasaki stands for "blooming flower". This name could be a pun due to Hanae's power over flowers.

**Hanae** (英恵): The name *Hanae* has two different meanings, which are "flower" and "blossom".

Therefore, Hanasaki Hanae means "blooming flower blossom". It could refer to the sakura.

*Cure Rose* means the flower that is an ancient symbol of love and beauty.

## Trivia

* Hanae shares the same voice actress as Touin Rina from *Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch*.
	+ Funnily enough, each girls both have a member of their respective team called Rina (however, in (Touin) Rina's case, she *is* named Rina).
* Hanae is the reincarnation of Cure Blossom Mirage.
* She is almost the polar opposite of Hanasaki Tsubomi/Cure Blossom.
* Hanae's birthday falls on November 14. This makes her a Scorpio.
* The group song that Hanae's voice actress sings with the other Cures' voice actresses, Pretty Cure ~Mirage~, may be a pun due the Cures being known as the *Mirage Pretty Cures* before they were reincarnated.
* In HPCR02, it is revealed that Hanae likes fashion.
* In HPCR29, it is revealed that Hanae is the first female to be born into the Hanasaki family in 12 generations.
* Due to being the older sister to Hanasaki Hikari, Hanae has to follow in her father's footsteps and become the next Hanasaki Florist. This may be why Hanae has a vast amount of knowledge about flowers.
	+ It is odd that Hanae knows a lot about flowers, but is bad at her studies.
* HPCR43 revealed that Hanae wanted to become a fashion designer when she grows up.
	+ It is likely that she won't become a fashion designer, because she is meant to become the Hanasaki Florist when she is older.
* HPCR48 revealed that Hanae's Heart Flower is the cherry blossom, which symbolises a beautiful heart.
