Coco Tsukiyami

*“Heaven? Demons? Are you sure you aren’t joking? My mother said there isn’t such thing as heaven or hell, haha..”*

**Coco Tsukiyami** (月夜ココ *Tsukiyami Koko*) is a main character in Glorious Dreamland ☆ Pretty Cure.

Her alter ego as a Pretty Cure is **Cure Celestia**, and her theme colors are purple, white, and gold.

## Appearance

Coco is a young girl with dark skin and deep violet eyes. She has slightly short and fluffy black hair that reaches her lower shoulders and flares to the sides. She wears a white collared shirt under a pastel purple cardigan. Coco also wears jean shorts over black stockings, and peach red boots with a tan sole.

As **Cure Celestia**, her hair becomes light purple and much more voluminous. Some of it is tied into two ponytails, secured by two white Angel hair clips. Her outfit consists of a light purple shirt with violet trim, yellow sleeves, and a matching pleated skirt. She wears a purple bow brooch with a gold rose in the middle. On her back are two white crescent moons with stars hanging from them. Celestia wears white thigh-high socks and purple boots with a dark violet sole and yellow bows in the front. Her eyes are now a pastel purple.

## Personality

Coco is a quiet yet reliable individual, and one of the more reserved ones of the group due to her being older. She is shy, but enjoys goofing around with her friends and family. Coco acts like the mom-friend of the group, being noticeable more affectionate than the rest of the girls.

Coco also gets sleepy a lot. This trait of hers is often treated as a running gag in the series, but it seems that Coco genuinely gets embarrassed when awoken. She tried to combat this as Cure Celestia, but to no avail. Fortunately, Celestia is able to create sleep-based attacks that both knock out and purify demons.

## History

### Backstory

Coco was born to Selena Tsukiyami. Her father died before she was born. Coco is the older sister of Jonah Tsukiyami.

### Meeting Kasumi and Hanai

Coco meets Hanai Yuri and Kasumi Tenko at locker period. She sees them holding Floofy and Fluffy, and mistakes them for dolls. She compliments the toys Hanai and Kasumi have, but Hanai tells them they are living.

At lunch, Coco bumps into Kasumi, who explains to her more about the “toys” she and Hanai were speaking to. They lend the both of them magical powers, and could lend some to Coco.

Hanai sets up a date at the park to further talk about Floofy and Fluffy.

### Becoming Cure Celestia

Floofy and Fluffy finally get the chance to introduce themselves to Coco while at the park. They explain that they were sent from heaven in search for legendary warriors to protect them from demons. Coco is in doubt, saying that she does not believe in such things. Floofy and Fluffy proceed to tell her that if she helps them, Hanai, and Kasumi in purifying demons, she can become a magical girl.

This slightly coaxes Coco, but Hanai chimes in saying she can always decline the offer just as she had in the first episode. Coco reluctantly agrees, and she is given a Glorious Staff. Immediately after this happens, Slush appears in the park along with a demon. Coco freaks out, but Floofy and Fluffy tell her to activate her Glorious Staff to transform. She does so, and becomes Cure Celestia.

### Meeting Hoshiko

Hoshiko, after Hanai went to talk to Kasumi, confronts Coco next. She asks if Coco was associated with the entire Pretty Cure thing, to which she repsonds that she doesn’t know what she’s talking about. The two later talk in episode 4, in where Hoshiko becomes Cure Stella.

## Cure Celestia

”**May evil succumb to everlasting rest! I’m Cure Celestia!**”

**Cure Celestia** is Coco’s Pretty Cure alter ego. In order to transform, she needs her Glorious Staff and customized Dreamland Jewel.

### Transformation

Coco’s Glorious Staff glows a pastel purple light. Her clothes are replaced with a glowing purple dress and is transported to a glittery dimension. Coco waves her staff and says “Pretty Cure, send me to Heaven!” This creates her Dreamland Jewel, which she places in the center of her staff for the transformation to commence.

The staff shrinks and forms multiple balls of purple light, which surround Coco and start to form the mold of her dress. The bow brooch is then formed, and her socks are then made. Her shoes are formed, and two balls of light create her crescent wings. Two final purple lights are created to form her Angel wing clips, which she places in her hair to turn it purple and lengthen. Cure Celestia floats in the air, revealing her new eye color. She gracefully lands, rubs her eyes, and introduces herself.

### Attacks

* **Celestia’s Holy Slumber** - Cure Celestia summons her Glorious Staff and Purple Heart Dreamland Jewel, which she places in the middle of the staff.
