### Movie-only Characters

* **Kumata** (クマタ *Kumata*?) / **Dark Matter** (ダークマター *Dāku Matā*?)

He is a black bear who in the past acquired the ability to use magic. Because both people and other bears are afraid of him, he lives alone. His resentment of all magic leads him to the Wishing Stone, which he wants to use to remove all magicians from the world. When the Wishing Stone chooses Mofurun, he abducts her and tries to get her to grant his wish. First he tries to become her friend as Kumata, but when she refuses to grant his wish, he turns back into Dark Matter and tries to force her with her friends as hostages. When the Wishing Stone grants Mofurun's wish to protect her friends, Dark Matter attacks her furiously, only stopping when he destroys Mofurun's Linkle Stone. When Mofurun reverts to a lifeless teddybear, Dark Matter is surprised to find that he's crying for the loss of his only friend too. After he turns back into Kumata, his magic power becomes a giant shadow that starts attacking the whole Magic World. At the end of the movie, a now magic-less Kumata becomes friends with the bears of the forest.

* **Shadow Matter** (シャドウマター *Shadou Matā*?)

This is what Dark Matter/Kumata's magic power turns into when he realizes what he's done to Mofurun. The giant shadow creates magic circles everywhere in the Magic World from which lightning strikes that cancels magic and turns people into stone statues. When the girls, with the help of everyone's Miracle Light wishes, revive Mofurun and transform back into Cures, the giant shadow focuses on attacking them instead. With the help of the flare dragon, they break into the giant shadow and find an evil magic version of Dark Matter, Pure Shadow Matter inside. After a fierce battle using all their transformations, the Cures use Mofurun's new Heartful Linkle Stone to perform Heartful Rainbow. The giant shadow disappears with Pure Shadow Matter.

* **Shadows**

Dark Matter's magic helpers. He summons them when he attacks the Grand Magic Festival and again when Mofurun runs away from his lair. Some of them possessed the flare dragon and turned it into a shadow dragon. After Kumata loses his magic power, it turns into a giant version of these shadows.

* **Flare Dragon / Shadow Dragon**

A flare dragon performs tricks in the Grand Magic Festival's Circus Balloon. Kotoha is able to communicate with it and together they spew a fireball and turn it into fireworks. When Dark Matter disrupts the Festival and abducts both the Wishing Stone and Mofurun, he also turns the flare dragon into a shadow dragon and flies away on it. Later, when the girls are looking for Mofurun, the shadow dragon shows up again and attacks them. Being the only one left who can do so, Kotoha transforms into Cure Felice and distracts it while the others go ahead to Dark Matter's lair. When Cure Mofurun is fighting an enraged Dark Matter while Mirai frees Riko, Cure Felice returns together with the flare dragon. The others are surprised to see it, but Felice explains how she discovered that the shadow dragon was actually the flare dragon, possessed by Dark Matter's shadows. She used Pink Tourmaline to rid it of the shadows. After that the flare dragon helps the Cures fly out of Dark Matter's lair and later break into the giant shadow to battle it's core Pure Shadow Matter.

* **Bears**

They live in the forest. Mofurun meets them when she escapes from Dark Matter's lair, and quickly becomes good friends with them. When Kumata shows up, they all flee or hide because they're afraid of his magic power. Mofurun is the only one who isn't scared of magic.
