### Personality

Otoha is a fourteen year old girl who dreams of becoming an idol so she can one day sing underneath a spotlight. However, she has just joined the idol industry and she needs to work hard to even catch her dream. She is rather smug and because of her attitude, she gets into a lot of fights with Noriko. She is really bad at explaining things to others but she won't give up until the person understands. She worries a lot about things and loves a good laugh.

### Relationships

* **Ozora Miwa** - Otoha dislikes being paired up with Miwa, a lot like Miwa herself. When she transforms into a Pretty Cure with Miwa, she starts to wonder if it is their fate to always be together. Throughout her battles, she begins to worry about Miwa a lot, even allowing Miwa to help her out.

### Etymology

**Misora** (美空, ***Misora***?): *Mi* (美, **Mi**?) means 'beautiful' while *Sora* (空, **Sora**?) means 'sky'. When put together, her surname means 'beautiful sky' , which alludes to the series theme - the sky.

**Otoha** (音羽, ***Otoha***?): *Oto* (音, **Oto**?) means 'sound' , which alludes to her passion for music. *Ha* (羽, **Ha**?) means 'feathers' , which alludes to her Cure name, as feathers often make up wings. When put together, her first name means 'feather of sounds' .

*Cure Wings* means 'either of the two forelimbs of most birds and of bats, corresponding to the human arms, that are specialized for flight.'
