Honoka Yukishiro

Hannah Whitehouse (雪城ほのか) is one of the main characters in Pretty Cure. Her alter ego is Cure White (キュア・ホワイト).

Relationship with others
Hannah is not very social, thus she does not have many friends. However, those few she has are very close to her. She is still close friends with Shan Fergison, whom she has known since their childhood. Through Shan, it is revealed that the reason she has problems getting friends is because she can be quite strict and dominant at times.

After some time being a Pretty Cure, Hannah, with the inspiration of her grandmother, begins to want become Natalie's friend, and tries to help her get to know Shan better after she finds out that she has a crush on him. This is why she becomes very hurt when Natalie says that they never will be friends. However, they eventually reconcile, and Hannah becomes happy when Natalie lets her address her as "Nat", sometimes only her friends do (in the Japanese version, they began addressing each other with their first names).

When it comes to her family is Hannah very close to her grandmother, who is her guardian while her parents travels international with their work. Despite this, Hannah understands their situation, and loves them very much. She is also very close to her grandmother's dog, Chuutaro, who she tells everything to.

Namesake
"Hono" (ほの) in "Honoka Yukishiro" can be translated as "harmony" while "ka" (か) is "flower". It is originally supposed to be written "Honoka" (和花), but using the hiragana writing system, which Hannah's Japanese name is using, is not unusual, either. Her Japanese last name "yuki" (雪) and "shiro" (城) may mean "snow" and "white", which should combined become "white snow".
