white angel wing earrings are replaced by gold ribbon-shaped earrings

ETYMOLOGY:
Midorikawa (緑川) - 緑 means "green", while 川 means "river".
Nao (なお) - Nao has the meaning of "straight", as in "straightforward". In Episode 19, it was revealed that her father Genji gave her this name, because he wishes to bring her up to be a straightforward person.
Cure March - Cure March's name could refer to the fact
that the month of March marks the beginning of Spring in the northern
hemisphere in meteorology. This relationship to Spring could explain her
name and theme colour. There is also a general assumption that March is
the windiest month of the year therefore establishing a link between
her name and power over wind. It could also do with the fact that
marching is related to courage, which is what her personality shows.
