also quite calm and patient, not even out off a bit when the other
girls told her about Pretty Cure, and tried to spare their feelings even when refusing their original request to become a Pretty Cure with them.

guess which one was real but they all guessed wrong and became too
exhausted to continue. Reika snapped out of her catatonic state just in

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.
She is a shy girl with a big heart. She was first depicting as a
crybaby, "crying over the slightest nudge". Though she had a few
friends, she mostly kept to her own due to her shy and modest nature.
WhenMiyukiandAkanesaw what potential she had in art, they managed to
draw a more passionate fire out of her. When their lives were put it
danger, she completely shed her baby-ish personality and showed her true
strengths.

and passionate about being a Pretty Cure, especially the superheroic
elements. She is quite bubbly and sweet, and while she may appear as a
crybaby, she is actually quite strong when it comes to protecting her
friends and making the right decision.
She first met Miyuki when Akane was trying to help Miyuki with her
self introduction. She tells Miyuki to not worry, that Akane only did
that to help break the ice. Miyuki became more acquainted with Yayoi
after catching her sketching a few characters. Seeing what potential she
had, Akane and Miyuki insisted she entered the school's poster
competition.

Yayoi's modest nature got the best of her when she didn't win the
poster competition and ripped her poster off the wall. She ran away and
broke down crying, where she met Akaoni, who turned everything into a
bad ending and made Yayoi's poster into a Akanbe. Miyuki and Akane transformed, but they used too much power at the start of the fight and
became too tired to continue. Yayoi gathered her courage and tried to
protect her friends, when a beam of light hits her and she transforms
into Cure Peace, however she immediately gets
scared and runs from the Akanbe. While she runs with Cure Happy and Cure Sunny, she falls over and starts crying. Her tears release a surge of
lightning which Candy says Peace has control over. She finishes the
Akanbe off with her attack, "Peace Thunder." In Episode 12 she gets new
power, the Tiara Mode. She uses "Rainbow Healing" attack with other
Cures with it power.
RELATIONSHIPS:
Hoshizora Miyuki
- Being a shy girl, Yayoi understands how Miyuki must feel being the
new girl in class, and so does her best to make Miyuki feel welcome. She
also shows genuine concern for Miyuki whenever she gets hurt.

CUREPEACE:
"Sparkling and Glittering! Rock-Paper-Scissors ♪ Cure Peace!"

Cure Peace (キュアピースKyua Pīsu) is the Pretty Cure alter ego of Yayoi. Cure Peace has the power of Lightning. She is able to electrocute enemies by crying hard as shown in Episode 3.
However, her power over lightning seems to give a slight recoil back to
her. It is shown in episode 15, that she can summon lightning from her
hands.
Her basic attack is Peace Thunder. In the Episode.12, she gains the Miracle Jewel Decors to transform her into Tiara Modeand combine her power with the other cures to use their group attack, Rainbow Healing. In Ep. 23. she gained a Decor to transform her into her Princess Mode and have the Princess Candle to combine her power with the other Precures to perform their second group attack, Rainbow Burst . She can also perform Special Protecting Shield with other Smile!Cures in 'Precure All Stars New Stage: Mirai no Tomodachi',and with Fu-Chan's power even powerfull and bigger version of it.
APPEARANCE:
Out of the 5 girls, Yayoi is the shortest in terms of height. She has
blond shoulder-length hair with straight bangs. The back of her hair
curls inwards to frame her head, and is held back with a white headband
with orange ornaments at each end. Her eyes are a dark yellow. She
normally dresses in a pale yellow long-sleeved blouse with cuffs, a
yellow dress over this, frilly socks and orange shoes. Her summer outfit
consists of a white top with short puffed sleeves under a light yellow
ruffled blouse, light blue shorts, light yellow socks and light orange
sandals. She wears her school uniform with a yellow tie and a pale
yellow sweater.
Cure Peace's hair is styled in a high ponytail that fans out

well. Her eyes become a brighter shade of yellow to match. Her tiara has
two angel wings attached, and she wears it on the right side of her

highlights. Her sleeves are double-layered with a puffy piece below, and

in the middle to give a petal-like appearance, and her skirt has a
frilly layer underneath it. Her arm protectors are extremely short, with
dark yellow ribbons at the wrists. Her boots are short with yellow at
the top and small dark yellow ribbons.
In Tiara mode, her white tiara is replaced by a golden crown worn
in the center of her head. The centerpiece of her tiara is a yellow
star, and the angel wings at the side of her tiara turn golden as well.
Her white angel wing earrings are replaced by gold ribbon-shaped
earrings with yellow hearts in the center.
ETYMOLOGY:
Kise (黄瀬) - 黄 means "yellow", while 瀬 means "river rapids".
Yayoi (やよい) - Yayoi is the olden name for "March" of twelve months in the lunar calendar. In Episode 19,
it was revealed that her father Yuuichi named her Yayoi ("March"), the
first month of spring, after her mother Chiharu ("a thousand springs"),
in hopes that she will become as kind and gentle as Chiharu. Another
reference for the name could be the famous Japanese artist Kusama Yayoi,
since Kise Yayoi is good at drawing.
Being born and raised in Osaka, Akane speaks in the Kansai dialect,
and refers to herself as "uchi" instead of the usual "watashi". Her
catchphrase is "aka~n", the Kansai equivalent of "dame da" or "This
won't do". She is also fond of saying "uchi no deban ya!" or "It's my
turn now!". She possesses a boyish personality, often reflected in the
way she stands or sits. However, she seems to love cute things, and has
an especially soft spot for gorillas.
Akane is a passionate girl who loves making others laugh. The
first impression she gives is that of the class jokester, always full of
puns and jokes to make her classmates laugh. As such, she appears to be
generally popular and well-liked. Her friends see her as an interesting
girl who always manages to make them laugh. She has a habit of speaking
her mind, which can get a little out of hand sometimes, such as when
she introduced Nao, Reika and Yayoi to Miyuki as being a "female gang leader", "Miss Popular" and "crybaby" respectively, causing visible discomfort to the three. Yayoi, with her crybaby personality and fascination with superheroes,
is often the target of Akane's jokes. However, there does not seem to be
any ill meaning behind the teasing, and the other girls seldom take
offence.
Despite
all the teasing, Akane is extremely loyal to her friends. She also has a
tendency to act before she thinks. For example, when she witnessed Cure Happy being defeated by an Akanbe,
she remembered how Miyuki had helped her out, and immediately went to
help Happy even though she had no chance of winning against the Akanbe.
Her strong wish to help her friend earned her the Smile Pact and allowed her to transform into Cure Sunny.
With regards to being Pretty Cure, Akane was initially against the
idea, turning down Miyuki's bold invitation. When she did become a Cure,
she seems quite cool about the whole idea, ready to do her best in
battle, though not overwhelmingly enthusiastic like Miyuki or Yayoi.
Similar to Nao, she does not understand why Miyuki and Yayoi are so
hyped up about being "superheroes", and gave Miyuki a cool reception
when she insisted on the group coming up with a signature phrase.
Ironically, though she loves to make puns, she was initially embarrassed by the ones made in her own Cure introductory speech.
In terms of sports, Akane is excellent at volleyball, easily
beating her classmates in a friendly match. She aims to become the ace
attacker of the school volleyball team, and comes down hard on herself
when she is unable to perform well. She is also an independent girl, as
she told Miyuki that she does not normally allow others to help her out,
but gave Miyuki a chance to help her with volleyball training due to
her enthusiasm and willingness. She can also be extremely focused, as
she turned down Miyuki's offer to become Pretty Cure (or "kiripura" as
she
mistakenly calls it) as she wanted to focus on her volleyball
training.
Akane's family runs an okonomiyaki restaurant, and it is probable that Akane enjoys cooking.
When introducing herself to the class Akane makes a joke about her
name. Also introducing the future Precure's names and persona's. Helping
to remove the nervousness away from Miyuki and from that day forward
Miyuki depends on Akane for explaning anything that comes new to her.
Becoming Cure Sunny:
The first time Akane hears about Candy was in Episode 1, when Miyuki
mentions it to her. In the next Episode, Miyuki further explains about
the Pretty Cure and Candy and tries to get her to join in. Later in the
episode, Wolfurun appears, and collects negative energy from the people playing on the field, including Akane. When Cure Happy fails to hit the Akanbe with Happy Shower
and is helpless, Akane "wakes up" from her nevative state and tries to
defend Cure Happy, despite not having the power to do so. Her strong
will for friendship caused an "explosion" and Akane finds herself in a
realm. Candy mentions she proved herself worthy of being the next Pretty
Cure and Akane proceeds to transform into Cure Sunny. In the battle,
she hits Akanbe with Sunny Fire, and purifies it.
In Episode 12, all the Pretty Cures get new power called tiara mode. With it, she uses their first group attack, Rainbow Healing.
RELATIONSHIPS:
Hoshizora Miyuki
- Akane describes Miyuki as being a scatterbrain who can be serious
when she wants to. Miyuki often showers her with hugs and encouragement

Pretty Cure. However, she does not understand Miyuki's enthusiasm
sometimes.

good friends. Akane acknowledges Yayoi's talent in drawing and often
praises her about it, making the latter blush with embarrassment.

female "gang leader". The two seem to share a close friendship, probably

the class committee and school council. She also describes Reika as

Her basic purification attack is Sunny Fire.
Aside from this, she can also generate fire at will when in battle,
either in offence when attacking an enemy, or in defense when she forms a
barrier of fire around herself to neutralize others' attacks (eg: Beauty's Beauty Blizzard in Episode 10). In the Episode 12, she gains the Miracle Jewel Decors to transform her into Tiara Modeand combine her power with the other cures to use their group attack, Rainbow Healing.

in the center of her head. The centerpiece of her tiara is a red
circle, and the angel wing at the side of her tiara turns golden as
well. Her white angel wing earrings are replaced by gold ribbon-shaped

Akane (あかね) - Akane means Madder Red, the name of a shade of intense red. It is used mostly to describe the sun and sunset. In Episode 19,
it was revealed that her father Daigo gave her this name because he
wanted one that was easy to call, and just went with the first name he
came up with using あ ("a"), the first character in the Japanese
alphabet. Her mother Masako gave her this name because of a beautiful
sunset (茜 or "akane") she saw on the day Akane was born, and hopes that
Akane will possess a heart as beautiful as the sunset.
