== Pretty Cure and Allies ==
==== Akiyama Youko ({{color|red|CCure Ruby}}) <small>Voice Actor: Nagasawa Miki (Japanese), Mona Marshall (English)</small> ====
 
{{quote| ''"So, are you real or are you me daydreaming about meeting an alien, becoming a henshin hero, and saving the world from giant monsters like AuraRed does?"''}}
 
Youko is one of two [[Toku]] fangirl leads in the ''Precure'' fanseries collective, the situational difference being that [[Shining Pretty Cure (Fanfic)|Luminous Town]] seems far more amiable to nerdiness than [[Futari wa Pretty Cure Blue Moon (Fanfic)|Kazahana City]] ever was. Her favourite show, ''Auraranger'', draws all sorts of strange parallels to her new life as Cure Ruby, which she tends to acknowledge here and there without ever really stopping to think about what it means for what will happen to her in the future. She starts out as Aina's good friend and gathers a [[Nakama]] in the first quarter of the series with her belief in never giving up, no matter what. After all, AuraRed had to face betrayal, a mysterious transfer student, monsters every other day, and eventually, the man who killed his parents -- anything less than living up to him is unacceptable.
 
* [[Ascended Fangirl]]: She was obsessed with henshin heroes, particularly ''[[Super Sentai|Ultra Sentai]]'', before becoming a Cure.
Line 16 ⟶ 17:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "I'm not giving up that easily!"
* [[Cool Sword]]: Ruby Saber
* [[Cross DresserCrossdresser]]: She makes a habit of cosplaying the (always-male) Red Ranger from each installment of ''Ultra Sentai'' at least once every year, so ...
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: In Cure form.
* [[Elemental Punch]]: Her specialty as Cure Ruby.
* [[Fiery Redhead|Fiery]] [[Redheaded Hero|Redheaded Heroine]]
* [[Foil]]:
** [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Red Oni to Shinju's Blue]]
** [[Tomboy and Girly Girl|Tomboy to Aina's Girly Girl]]
* [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]: Choleric.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: As a result of her Ascended Fangirl status. It helps...most of the time.
* [[Hot -Blooded]]
* [[The Heroine|The]] [[Idiot Hero|Idiot Heroine]]
* [[I Know Mortal Kombat]]/[[Taught Byby Television]]: Her love of video games and television has benefited her more than once.
* [[Jumped At the Call]]: And kept on running!
* [[Law of Chromatic Superiority]]: Not really played straight in-story, but she cites wearing red as one of the reasons she's team leader.
* [[Playing Withwith Fire]]
* [[Plucky Girl]]: Her catchphrase says all! It also makes her the glue that holds the team together.
* [[Poster Gallery Bedroom]]: All ''Ultra Sentai'', of course.
Line 39 ⟶ 40:
----
 
=== Kobayashi Aina ({{color|lime|CCure Peridot}}) <small>Voice Actor: Matsuoka Yuki (Japanese), Kira Vincent-Davis (English)</small> ===
 
{{quote| ''"This is...this is wonderful! [[Serious Business|Ito-han wants me at his birthday party!]] I will repay his kindness! I'll show him the inner feelings of my heart! Now's my chance!"''}}
 
Kobayashi Aina is a kind-hearted soul who just wants to make everyone happy, but she's no [[Fresh Pretty Cure|Love-knockoff]], before you think that. For one thing, this girl likes to think she's very perceptive of other people's feelings, leading her to avidly pair up everyone in sight. When it comes to her ''own'' love life, though, she's a blushing, stuttering mess. Notable for her Kansai accent, her kindness to everyone around her, and her strong friendship with Youko even before the other team members show up, Aina is a sweet girl who, like AuraGreen, follows her friend out of dedication to protecting everyone's smiles.
Line 49 ⟶ 50:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Nobody ruins others' "special days" on her watch.
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Her feelings for Soichi. She ends up going inarticulate every time she tries talking to or even ''about'' him.
* [[The Chick]]
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: In Cure form.
* [[The Ditz]]: Sometimes.
Line 55 ⟶ 56:
* [[Feminine Women Can Cook]]: The girliest one on the team is the best chef. Go figure.
* [[For Happiness]]: This is her rationale for wanting to pair everyone up. A good romance = instant happiness, right?
* [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]: Sanguine.
* [[Green Thumb]]/[[Petal Power]]
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Twin braids in her case.
Line 61 ⟶ 62:
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl|Girly Girl to Youko's Tomboy]]
* [[Kansai Regional Accent]]: Described as speaking in one.
* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]
* [[Skewed Priorities]]: Sometimes, she ends up putting things like matchmaking over her Cure duties. At least she notices she's doing it.
* [[Theme Naming]]: Her parents also have plant-based names.
Line 69 ⟶ 70:
----
 
==== Miwa Shinju ({{color|silver|CCure Pearl}}) <small>Voice Actor: Kugimiya Rie (Japanese), Monica Rial (English)</small> ====
 
{{quote| ''"I wanted to get away from all the other people. They keep staring."''}}
 
Miwa Shinju is the series' token [[Lonely Rich Kid]], but more than anything, she's alone by choice. Thanks to guilt from her past, she denies so much as wanting friends even to herself, and it takes a long time and a lot of struggling before she integrates herself into the team. What Shinju really wants is an exciting life with interesting people. Like the bereaved and standoffish AuraPink, being Cure Pearl represents a dream Shinju never allowed herself to have, which she comes to terms with as the story goes on.
Line 77 ⟶ 78:
* [[Barrier Warrior]]: Her main attack doubles as a limited shield.
* [[Big Fancy House]]: Miwa Manor is the largest and fanciest house in town, of course.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Blue Oni to Youko's Red]]
* [[Brutal Honesty]]
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: The only Cure to ''avert'' this.
* [[Eating Lunch Alone]]: Her first appearance saw her searching for a place to do this. Even after befriending the Cures, she prefers eating alone.
* [[Hair Decorations]]: Her headband, with its Alice bow.
* [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]: Melancholic.
* [[Little Miss Snarker]]
* [[Lonely Rich Kid]]: A straight example, complete with self-imposed [[Friendless Background|friendlessness]].
Line 90 ⟶ 91:
* [[Opera Gloves]]: Sports them as Cure Peridot.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Her mother left the family for unspecified reasons when she was younger, fueling her fears of getting attached to anyone else, while her father is usually overseas supervising his company.
* [[Parent Withwith New Paramour]]: Her father fell in love with someone in his company at some point, though she doesn't formally discover it until he returns to Luminous Town. She does ''not'' take it well.
* [[Perpetual Frowner]]: At first. A lot of her artwork depicts her with this expression as well. [[When She Smiles|But...]]
* [[Proper Tights Withwith a Skirt]]
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: In both forms, moreso as Cure Pearl.
* [[Rose -Haired Girl]]
* [[Shana Clone]]: She looks and sounds like one but is a lot more mellow in temperament and prefers snarking at others to using violence. This doesn't stop her from getting in at least one "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" during the series.
* [[Shorter Means Smarter]]: Very petite and established as doing well in school.
* [[The Smart Girl]]
* [[Tsundere]]: A platonic type A, ''especially'' towards Youko.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did It Have To Be Spiders?]]: They're the the one thing that can make her visibly freak out.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: With at least one of her casual outfits.
----
 
==== Takamura Akira ({{color|turquoise|CCure Turquoise}}) <small>Voice Actor: Shintani Ryoko (Japanese), Patricia Ja Lee (English)</small> ====
 
{{quote| ''"I'm fine, really. Your problems will always come first, remember?"''}}
 
Takamura Akira is the laid-back upperclassman who attracts fans from all over the school, and she's easy to befriend. This makes her the perfect target for Amazora, who she ends up hanging out with almost as much as she does with the other Precures. At first, it seems like nothing bothers Akira. On the contrary, she holds guilt from her parents blaming her for an accident that her sister was involved in when they were kids, and now Akira puts others first to the point that it's developed into an unhealthy complex.
Line 113 ⟶ 114:
* [[Big Sister Instinct]]: One of the things that led to her protective complex.
* [[Blow You Away]]: With a major in [[Razor Wind]].
* [[Cordon Bleugh Chef]]: [[One -Note Cook|Can make good curry]], but everything else she tries her hand at is pretty much inedible...unless you're Sora.
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: In Cure form.
* [[Dating Catwoman]]: With {{spoiler|Sora, eventually}}.
* [[Drama Club|Drama]] [[Club President]]
* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]
* [[First -Name Basis]]: Prefers to be on this with almost everyone she meets.
* [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]: Phlegmatic.
* [[Guilt Complex]]: At first. She's slowly getting better, although her first instinct is to [[ItsIt's All My Fault|assume all responsibility]] for anything that befalls her loved ones.
* [[Heroic Self -Deprecation]]
* [[Lipstick Lesbian]]: Low-key about this, although she doesn't hide it either. The only reason she didn't tell her teammates earlier is because they never asked.
* [[Lonely Piano Piece|Lonely Guitar Piece]]: Plays them when depressed.
* [[Loves My Alter Ego]]: Inverted. Amazora/Sora has a crush on Akira, but despises her Cure alter-ego. Then again, Sora knows that they're the same person.
* [[Nice Girl]]: Her reputation throughout the school and her usual demeanor...which helps obscure her self-esteem issues.
* [[Onee -Sama]]: The more affectionate type, somewhat for her teammates, but definitely for Sora.
* [[Parental Neglect]]: Her parents are both very busy with their jobs and hardly close to either of their daughters. The unfair standards they place on Akira's shoulders don't help.
* [[Proper Tights Withwith a Skirt]]▼
* [[Rings of Death]]: Turquoise Chakrams
* [[Theme Naming]]: Her parents and sister have sky or flight-based names.
▲* [[Tights With a Skirt]]
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]

==== {{color|silver|SSheeny}} <small>Voice Actor: Shin-ichiro Miki (Japanese)</small> ====
 
{{quote| ''"Youko, I'll try to believe in you and your teammates, no matter how bad this gets, shii."''}}
 
Sheeny, the first of the two mascots to appear and the more hard-nosed of the two, starts out very stubborn and set in his ways about how he's going to save his world. This seems to come from a sense of guilt about letting his home be destroyed and letting Lucey get lost. He eventually starts to lighten up when Lucey returns and Youko's "wishful thinking" starts being right more often than not.
 
* [[Pink Girl, Blue Boy|Blue Boy to Lucey's Pink Girl]]
* [[Mentor Mascot]]
* [[Verbal Tic]]: "~shii"
Line 146 ⟶ 147:
----
 
==== {{color|black|LLucey}} <small>Voice Actor: Goto Yuko (Japanese)</small> ====
 
{{quote| ''"Trouble has been following us everywhere since he and I landed too, so... we could just play it safe, lu? Please?"''}}
 
Lucey is the second mascot to appear. She is sweet, lovable and all-forgiving, and not quite as strict as Sheeny, but no less serious about reaching their goal. Lucey just believes more strongly in the power of kindness to solve the problems that others would write off as a lost cause.
 
* [[Mentor Mascot]]
* [[Pink Girl, Blue Boy|Pink Girl to Sheeny's Blue Boy]]
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Has shades of this.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: "~lu"
* [[Wonder Twin Powers]]: With Sheeny
----
 
== Castle Triste ==
==== {{color|black|SShade Queen}} <small>Voice Actor: Minaguchi Yuko (Japanese)</small> ====
 
{{quote| ''"Star Pieces...I need them, for the good of this kingdom. In order for the restoration of all that has been lost to take place, in order for the power of miracles to occur, all must be gathered."''}}
 
The Shade Queen seeks the restoration of her homeland and her dead servants and subjects, though it isn't clear what happened or what the Star Pieces have to do with this goal. Either way, no matter how noble her cause, the fact remains that she has no qualm with hurting or destroying hundreds, thousands or even billions of people as long as she gets what she wants. At this stage, she is annoyed with the Shade Quartet for consistently losing to Precure, and is rapidly losing faith in their abilities.
 
* [[Big Bad]]
* [[Eerie Pale -Skinned Brunette]]
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]] → [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Briefly, whenever she's put out about something
* [[God Save Us From the Queen]]
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]
----
 
==== {{color|dimgray|MMeran and Korii}} <small>Voice Actor: Mizuhashi Kaori (Japanese)</small> ====
 
{{quote| ''"You're not doing your job. And that's wrong."''}}
 
The Shade Queen's personal assistants, Meran and Korii, even intimidate the Shade Quartet. They are twins, but don't even seem to have separate consciousnesses, speaking and acting as one. Their own powers have yet to be revealed, and they rarely say much of anything, but when they do, it's always to back up the Queen's demands.
Line 182 ⟶ 183:
* [[Creepy Child|Creepy Children]]
* [[Creepy Crossdresser]]: Meran.
* [[Creepy Twins|Creepy]] [[Half -Identical Twins]]
** [[Hive Mind]]: They even ''blink'' in unison.
** [[Theme Twin Naming]]: Together, their names form the romanization of "melancholy".
** [[Twin Banter]]: If they're not speaking in unison, they're using this.
Line 198 ⟶ 199:
== The Shade Quartet ==
 
==== Kibami Sora ({{color|gold|AAmazora}}) <small>Voice Actor:Kanai Mika (Japanese), Hynden Walch (English)</small> ====
 
{{quote| ''"Y-yeah. That's right! Amazora will get the job done! And the Queen '''will''' be proud... and that will be super cool, super awesome!"''}}
 
Amazora, the first enemy to appear, is a girl the same age as the Cures. She's bouncy, whiny, simple, and all-around childish. She tries her best to gain the Shade Queen's approval and believes that winning will make her cold, lonely home world a happier place. She reluctantly attaches herself to Akira with the intent to use her, but she slowly begins [[Becoming the Mask]]...
Line 209 ⟶ 210:
* [[Dark Magical Girl]]
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: Occasionally, she occasionally talks like this, [[Verbal Tic|okay?]] Okay.
* [[Blondes Are Evil|Evil]] [[Dumb Blonde|Ditzy Blonde]] → [[White -Haired Pretty Girl]]: Well, platinum blonde.
* [[Eyes of Gold]]
* [[Epic Flail]]: Topaz Mic
* [[Evil Diva]]: Well, sort of. She does entertain dreams of becoming an idol now and again, though.
* [[Flower in Her Hair]]: Wears a black lily hair ornament when transformed.
* [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]: Sanguine.
* [[Genki Girl]]: A rare villainous example.
* [[The Glomp]]: Her preferred method of greeting Akira.
* [[Kawaiiko]]: Enough to qualify her for [[Bratty Half -Pint]] status despite being a teenager.
* [[Loves My Alter Ego]]: Akira cares about Sora but apparently dislikes Amazora. This bothers her more than she'd like to admit.
* [[Mad Libs Catchphrase]]: "Super [adjective], super [adjective]!" Usually "Super cool, super awesome!", but it varies.
Line 226 ⟶ 227:
----
 
==== Enshoku Haru ({{color|orangered|YYakeru}}) <small>Voice Actor: Suzuki Chihiro (Japanese), Yuri Lowenthal (English)</small> ====
 
{{quote| ''"For such a strong, handsome guy, my monsters kinda suck."''}}
 
Yakeru likes one thing: fighting. He especially likes winning, and prefers picking on the weak to going into a fair fight; otherwise, he might actually lose. He annoys everyone else on the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]], even (or especially) his girlfriend, Anya. He doesn't care, though, and keeps doing his own thing, mocking everyone else rather than changing.
Line 235 ⟶ 236:
* [[Badass Long Hair]]
* [[The Brute]]
* [[Catchphrase Interruptus]]: He really, ''really'' does not have the ability to wait for the Cures to give their [[In the Name of Thethe Moon|opening spiel]], let alone introduce themselves.
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]
* [[Elemental Punch]]
Line 241 ⟶ 242:
* [[Foil]]:
** [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man|Manly Man to Suishoku's Sensitive Guy]]
** [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Red Oni to Anya's Blue]]
* [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]: Choleric.
* [[Hot -Blooded]]: Much more blatantly than Youko.
* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: He's ''proud'' of being a Leeroy too, to both Anya and Suishoku's disdain.
* [[Playing Withwith Fire]]
* [[Sleeves Are for Wimps]]
* [[Minion Shipping]]: With Anya.
* [[Sunglasses Atat Night]]
----
 
==== Noukon Mizuki ({{color|navy|AAnya}}) <small>Voice Actor: Fukami Rika (Japanese); Mary Elizabeth McGlynn (English)</small> ====
 
{{quote| ''"Idiots... while we constantly focus on how to defeat them, they're doing such inane, stupid things. How could they possibly be so strong?"''}}
 
Anya is cold, cruel and merciless. She only ever shows affection to her sister, Amazora, and even then is quick to keep her in line whenever her childish mind wanders. Anya prefers to use her abilities to manipulate her enemies, break their spirits, and take everything she wants before laughing in their faces and turning on them. Even the people who love her fear her for it, but continue to believe that there is something good about her -- and maybe there is.
Line 260 ⟶ 261:
* [[An Ice Person]]
* [[Barrier Warrior]]: Not as much as her counterpart, but she tends to play much more defensively in battle, complete with ice shields.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Blue Oni to Yakeru's Red]]
* [[Emotionless Girl]]: Usually, although she [[Not So Stoic|tends to fly off the handle when upset.]]
* [[Evil Genius]]
* [[Flower in Her Hair]]: Wears twin black lily hair ornaments on either side of her head when transformed.
* [[Four Eyes, Zero Soul]]: As Mizuki, complete with the odd [[Scary Shiny Glasses]] moment.
* [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]: Melancholic.
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom|Glowing Eye of Doom]]: In effect whenever she activates her powers.
* [[Harmless Freezing]]: Able to do a version of this, even when not transformed.
Line 273 ⟶ 274:
* [[Mismatched Eyes]]: One is gold, the other is reddish-purple and the [[Evil Eye|source of her powers]].
* [[Opera Gloves]]: Her transformed outfit incorporates these.
* [[Peek -a -Bangs]]: In civilain form. They hide her distinctive reddish-purple eye.
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: When transformed; in civilain form, it's always in a [[Prim and Proper Bun]].
* [[Telepathy]]: She can take it a step further and pull [[Soul Anatomy|crystallized feelings]] out of a subject.
* [[Shiny Midnight Black]] -> [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Ice-Blue Hair]]
* [[Whip It Good]]: Fights with one made of ice crystals.
* [[WomaninWoman in Black]]
----
 
==== Frédéric Verdant ({{color|darkgreen|SSuishoku}}) <small>Voice Actor: Fujiwara Keiji (Japanese); Dan Woren (English)</small> ====
 
{{quote| ''"I can't stand to see a potentially worthy opponent brought down this quickly either. You're supposed to be my rivals; you can't just fall apart now."''}}
 
Suishoku is the least evil of the members of the Shade Quartet, and on many occasions expresses remorse for the things that he has to do in the name of the Queen. He believes in fair fights, respect, and keeping battles between knowing, consenting combatants rather than involving civilians. This makes him Yakeru's least favourite person, and Yakeru his. Suishoku quite enjoys the perks of the human world, such as music, the Sun Cafe, and [[Shout -Out|the]] ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' [[Shout -Out|light novels]].
 
* [[Affably Evil]]: Yes, he really is that polite.
* [[Anti -Villain]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti -Villains|Type IV]], mostly. Were it not for his [[My Master, Right or Wrong|staunch devotion to the Queen]] and his concern for his teammates, he'd probably be with the heroes.
* [[Apologetic Attacker]]
* [[Badass Cape]]: When transformed.
Line 295 ⟶ 296:
* [[The Dandy]]: In appearance and demeanor, though he lacks the aversion to fighting.
* [[The Dragon]]: Not this on his own, but has some of the personality traits associated with it.
* [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]: Phlegmatic.
* [[Funny Foreigner]]: His alter-ego has mild shades of this.
* [[Gratuitous French]]
* [[I Have the High Ground]]: Usually announces his presence by balancing somewhere above the Cures and [[Shout -Out|throwing]] [[Sailor Moon|a rose]] at their feet.
* [[Must Have Lots of Free Time]]: His alter-ego is officially a businessman transplanted to Japan. In practice, this stops at him wearing lots of suits; he's usually enjoying coffee at the Sun Café or wandering around town.
* [[Newspaper -Thin Disguise]]: A frequent offender.
* [[Parental Substitute]]: For Amazora.
* [[Royal Rapier]]: Emerald Fleur
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man|Sensitive Guy to Yakeru's Manly Man]]
* [[Something About a Rose]]: His powers pretty much revolve around them.
* [[Token Good Teammate]]
* [[Worthy Opponent]]
Line 330 ⟶ 331:
==== Ito Hoshiko <small>Voice Actor: Noto Mamiko (Japanese), Leah Clark (English)</small> ====
 
{{quote| ''"Youko-san, everyone, I'm sorry to be a burden. Sometimes, I forget my limits."''}}
 
* [[Apologises a Lot]]
Line 339 ⟶ 340:
* [[Mysterious Waif]]
* [[New Transfer Student]]: Some time after her debut in episode 10.
* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: Hoshiko is an avid Aina/Soichi shipper.
* [[Shrinking Violet]]
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: She definitely thinks [[EverythingsEverything's Better Withwith Chocolate]].
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]
----
Line 349 ⟶ 350:
* [[Genki Girl]]: Mimi
* [[Miko]]: Miyako
* [[Shipper Onon Deck|Shippers On Deck]]
* [[Those Two Girls]]
----
Line 369 ⟶ 370:
* [[Old Shame]]: She isn't very happy about that painting she modeled for being displayed so prominently in the local art museum.

This is the character sheet for Shining Pretty Cure. The hypothetical casting by the author is just for fun.

Pretty Cure and Allies

Akiyama Youko (Cure Ruby) Voice Actor: Nagasawa Miki (Japanese), Mona Marshall (English)

"So, are you real or are you me daydreaming about meeting an alien, becoming a henshin hero, and saving the world from giant monsters like AuraRed does?"

Youko is one of two Toku fangirl leads in the Precure fanseries collective, the situational difference being that Luminous Town seems far more amiable to nerdiness than Kazahana City ever was. Her favourite show, Auraranger, draws all sorts of strange parallels to her new life as Cure Ruby, which she tends to acknowledge here and there without ever really stopping to think about what it means for what will happen to her in the future. She starts out as Aina's good friend and gathers a Nakama in the first quarter of the series with her belief in never giving up, no matter what. After all, AuraRed had to face betrayal, a mysterious transfer student, monsters every other day, and eventually, the man who killed his parents -- anything less than living up to him is unacceptable.

Kobayashi Aina (Cure Peridot) Voice Actor: Matsuoka Yuki (Japanese), Kira Vincent-Davis (English)

"This is...this is wonderful! Ito-han wants me at his birthday party! I will repay his kindness! I'll show him the inner feelings of my heart! Now's my chance!"

Kobayashi Aina is a kind-hearted soul who just wants to make everyone happy, but she's no Love-knockoff, before you think that. For one thing, this girl likes to think she's very perceptive of other people's feelings, leading her to avidly pair up everyone in sight. When it comes to her own love life, though, she's a blushing, stuttering mess. Notable for her Kansai accent, her kindness to everyone around her, and her strong friendship with Youko even before the other team members show up, Aina is a sweet girl who, like AuraGreen, follows her friend out of dedication to protecting everyone's smiles.

Miwa Shinju (Cure Pearl) Voice Actor: Kugimiya Rie (Japanese), Monica Rial (English)

"I wanted to get away from all the other people. They keep staring."

Miwa Shinju is the series' token Lonely Rich Kid, but more than anything, she's alone by choice. Thanks to guilt from her past, she denies so much as wanting friends even to herself, and it takes a long time and a lot of struggling before she integrates herself into the team. What Shinju really wants is an exciting life with interesting people. Like the bereaved and standoffish AuraPink, being Cure Pearl represents a dream Shinju never allowed herself to have, which she comes to terms with as the story goes on.

Takamura Akira (Cure Turquoise) Voice Actor: Shintani Ryoko (Japanese), Patricia Ja Lee (English)

"I'm fine, really. Your problems will always come first, remember?"

Takamura Akira is the laid-back upperclassman who attracts fans from all over the school, and she's easy to befriend. This makes her the perfect target for Amazora, who she ends up hanging out with almost as much as she does with the other Precures. At first, it seems like nothing bothers Akira. On the contrary, she holds guilt from her parents blaming her for an accident that her sister was involved in when they were kids, and now Akira puts others first to the point that it's developed into an unhealthy complex.

Sheeny Voice Actor: Shin-ichiro Miki (Japanese)

"Youko, I'll try to believe in you and your teammates, no matter how bad this gets, shii."

Sheeny, the first of the two mascots to appear and the more hard-nosed of the two, starts out very stubborn and set in his ways about how he's going to save his world. This seems to come from a sense of guilt about letting his home be destroyed and letting Lucey get lost. He eventually starts to lighten up when Lucey returns and Youko's "wishful thinking" starts being right more often than not.

Lucey Voice Actor: Goto Yuko (Japanese)

"Trouble has been following us everywhere since he and I landed too, so... we could just play it safe, lu? Please?"

Lucey is the second mascot to appear. She is sweet, lovable and all-forgiving, and not quite as strict as Sheeny, but no less serious about reaching their goal. Lucey just believes more strongly in the power of kindness to solve the problems that others would write off as a lost cause.

Castle Triste

Shade Queen Voice Actor: Minaguchi Yuko (Japanese)

"Star Pieces...I need them, for the good of this kingdom. In order for the restoration of all that has been lost to take place, in order for the power of miracles to occur, all must be gathered."

The Shade Queen seeks the restoration of her homeland and her dead servants and subjects, though it isn't clear what happened or what the Star Pieces have to do with this goal. Either way, no matter how noble her cause, the fact remains that she has no qualm with hurting or destroying hundreds, thousands or even billions of people as long as she gets what she wants. At this stage, she is annoyed with the Shade Quartet for consistently losing to Precure, and is rapidly losing faith in their abilities.

Meran and Korii Voice Actor: Mizuhashi Kaori (Japanese)

"You're not doing your job. And that's wrong."

The Shade Queen's personal assistants, Meran and Korii, even intimidate the Shade Quartet. They are twins, but don't even seem to have separate consciousnesses, speaking and acting as one. Their own powers have yet to be revealed, and they rarely say much of anything, but when they do, it's always to back up the Queen's demands.

The Shade Quartet

Kibami Sora (Amazora) Voice Actor:Kanai Mika (Japanese), Hynden Walch (English)

"Y-yeah. That's right! Amazora will get the job done! And the Queen will be proud... and that will be super cool, super awesome!"

Amazora, the first enemy to appear, is a girl the same age as the Cures. She's bouncy, whiny, simple, and all-around childish. She tries her best to gain the Shade Queen's approval and believes that winning will make her cold, lonely home world a happier place. She reluctantly attaches herself to Akira with the intent to use her, but she slowly begins Becoming the Mask...

Enshoku Haru (Yakeru) Voice Actor: Suzuki Chihiro (Japanese), Yuri Lowenthal (English)

"For such a strong, handsome guy, my monsters kinda suck."

Yakeru likes one thing: fighting. He especially likes winning, and prefers picking on the weak to going into a fair fight; otherwise, he might actually lose. He annoys everyone else on the Quirky Miniboss Squad, even (or especially) his girlfriend, Anya. He doesn't care, though, and keeps doing his own thing, mocking everyone else rather than changing.

Noukon Mizuki (Anya) Voice Actor: Fukami Rika (Japanese); Mary Elizabeth McGlynn (English)

"Idiots... while we constantly focus on how to defeat them, they're doing such inane, stupid things. How could they possibly be so strong?"

Anya is cold, cruel and merciless. She only ever shows affection to her sister, Amazora, and even then is quick to keep her in line whenever her childish mind wanders. Anya prefers to use her abilities to manipulate her enemies, break their spirits, and take everything she wants before laughing in their faces and turning on them. Even the people who love her fear her for it, but continue to believe that there is something good about her -- and maybe there is.

Frédéric Verdant (Suishoku) Voice Actor: Fujiwara Keiji (Japanese); Dan Woren (English)

"I can't stand to see a potentially worthy opponent brought down this quickly either. You're supposed to be my rivals; you can't just fall apart now."

Suishoku is the least evil of the members of the Shade Quartet, and on many occasions expresses remorse for the things that he has to do in the name of the Queen. He believes in fair fights, respect, and keeping battles between knowing, consenting combatants rather than involving civilians. This makes him Yakeru's least favourite person, and Yakeru his. Suishoku quite enjoys the perks of the human world, such as music, the Sun Cafe, and the Suzumiya Haruhi light novels.
