Becoming friends with Mana
Because of her interest in Mana, Regina then suddenly appeared next to her, while she was with her friends. Makoto knew Regina, and tells Mana not to be friends with her, however Mana hesitated and went with Regina. Makoto became angry and left Mana. Regina took Mana while she was supposed to be in her class, and went out together to play. While they were playing, Regina told Mana to forget about her friends, however, Mana disagreed. Regina got mad at her and then went away to hurt her friends by making a Jikochuu. Mana tried to help her friends and transformed into Cure Heart. She helped them and fought the Jikochuu. After everything got back to normal, Regina wondered what real friends were.

Stealing the Red Crystal
As Makoto told the girls about Princess Marie Ange's love to statues, Regina laughed and told Mana that she wants her, taking Mana away. The girls chased them, and Mana said to Regina that it's better to walk together. Regina uttered that she wants to only be with Mana. The other girls came, and they ended up near a Marie Ange-looking statue by Makoto. Joe and Ai-Chan came and Regina laughed at Joe's funny hat. Regina introduced herself to Joe. When Ai started crying, Regina took her from Mana and started making funny faces. The sheep Lovead was used and Ai-Chan fell asleep.

Regina pointed out that she likes the Crystal on the statue's chest, and the girls saw that it looked like a new Crystal. Regina said that she will give a present to them, broke the statue, and was giving the Crystal to Mana, but girls were more concerned about the broken statue. The girls apologized to the park's owner while Regina held the Crystal in her hands. The girls started cleaning up, and Regina asked them why, which they answered because Regina broke it. Rikka said that they are friends, and friends help each other. Regina shouted that she wants to be their friend too. Mana said that she is already their friend and Regina became happy. Suddenly the Crystal started glowing and Regina was surprised. Her blue eyes became red and she became evil. Mana asked if she is okay, but Regina backed away and said that she wants the Crystals. The girls didn't give them to her, and Regina became angry and said that she would steal them then. The creator of the statue came, and Regina made a Jikochuu out of his heart after turning it selfish.

During the battle, Joe came disguised as a prince. Regina was surprised, and the girls defeated the Jikochuu with the help of Joe. Joe asked Regina to return the Crystal, and Regina told him that she is the daughter of the Selfish King, shooting a purple beam towards Joe, which he prevented. Regina told him that she will now go away, but all the Crystals belong to her, as she leaves with the red Crystal.

The Selfish Games
Regina decided to play a game with the Cures, while betting the Crystals, she promised to give them, even though they win. The games start as the Cures had to do soccer, however Regina started cheating by using the Jikochuus as the soccer ball. The second one was bowling, they started cheating, but Cure Heart got angry and threw the bowling ball, the ball duplicated and with the power, the Cures won the second round. The third round was dodgeball, in which the Cures had to avoid letting the balls hit them, the Cures then managed to avoid them. The Selfish Trio became angry and started throwing dodgeballs, but the balls accidentally got thrown at each other, and the ball also hit Regina's leg. Regina then became mad and started fighting with them. The Cures then said that they had won and they stopped. Regina became sad and then summoned a Jikochuu to get their Crystals. But the Cures purified it with Lovely Force Arrow, and were transported back to their world without their Crystals. Regina then came at the human world and then started talking about the Crystals, then suddenly they begin to shine and flew away onto the sky.

Finding The Crystals
Since the crystals were gone, into another place, She and the Trio start to look for them. Meanwhile, the Cures had found the place and started looking for them. The Cures shouted the crystal's names, which made Regina and the Trio come at them. Cure Heart then saw Regina, and started telling her feelings for her, but Regina ignored it, and then made a big snow ball which was coming towards the Cures. But the Cures regrouped, and destroyed the ball. Cure Sword then performed, Sparkle Sword and made a giant hole and Regina started to fall into it, but Cure Heart then took her hand and fell with her. Regina and Mana were cold and Mana was unconscious. Regina then left Mana and saw the Crystals. The Crystals regrouped, and made Regina see the frozen Marie Ange. Mana woke up and saw it. Mana and Regina had a talk about Regina's behavior and her eyes changed. Regina hearing it then started blaming herself for doing things which were not right. Then suddenly the Cures arrived as they saw Marie Ange, in the same time the Trio came and captured Regina. The Trio summoned a Jikochuu, but the Cures purified it. Bel then came and took also the frozen Marie Ange.

The Cures did their finishing attack, Lovely Force Arrow, and the Jikochuus were defeated. Jonathan got the frozen Marie Ange, and everyone left, as Regina came with them, but she still thought of her father.

Becoming Evil Again
As Regina left her father, she became worried, and had thoughts of being bad again, but Mana said not to worry. She then invited her to come to her house. She ate with Mana's family, and she saw that Mana's family was kind. Regina was elated to eat with her family, but at the same she she felt a curious pain in her heart. While they were in Mana's bedroom, they talked about her father, the Selfish King. Then at bed time, Mana and Regina slept together. The next day, Regina and the others went to the beach, and played together. After they did fun things, the Trio suddenly came to attack the Cures and take back Regina.

Then an illusion of the Selfish King then suddenly came, and englufed her inside a giant black tornado to have a chat with her. He wanted her to come back to him and break all her bonds with the Cures. Regina rejects initially, but he contiues about all the pain she felt was caused by the Cures. She still does not buy into it, so the Selfish King zaps her dark lightning, turning her heart black with selfishness once again.

When Heart made her feelings reach Regina, her father attacked Heart but was protected by Regina. Heart, Ace and Regina try to make Selfish King remember the love but he refused to listen.



The History of Regina and Aguri Revealed
One year ago, Princess Marie Ange fell ill to a terminal disease. Only the Eternal Golden Crown, one of the Three Sacred Treasures, had the knowledge to save her. However the crown is being used to imprison the evil sealed away by the legendary Pretty Cure. Desperate to save his daughter, the king of the Trump Kingdom stole the crown but was consumed by the evil and transformed into the Selfish King. Unable to fight her father, Princess Marie Ange broke her heart into two parts. The part that loves her father, her darkness, and the part that wants to protect her people, her light. Ange's body was then transformed into an egg which will later be born as Ai. The darkness of Ange's heart went back to the Selfish King and was reborn as Regina while the light was reborn as Madoka Aguri and was sent to earth.

Saving The King
After discovering that she loves not only her father but also her friends, Regina teams up with the Pretty Cure in order to save her father who is trapped inside the heart of the Selfish King. Together with Madoka Aguri (her biological sister) and Ai, Regina was able to help the king regain his love and free him. But before the Pretty Cure can celebrate, Bel arrives and absorbs the remaining evil of the Selfish KingI. t is revealed in the last episode that she transfers to Oogai First Middle School.

Powers
Her powers are shown in episode 15, as she could turn people into Jikochuu by finding people's hidden selfishness rather than using it when the thoughts come to the surface. She first produces a hole and then she puts her finger and then a dark energy is produced as it colors the person's Psyche and then she summons a Jikochuu.

In episode 39 Regina achieves the powers of the Miracle Dragon Glaive after it responds to the love she has toward her father. The spear is fueled by Regina's love and ,at full power, can propel massive jolts of energy that takes the form of a black dragon.

Although not a power used in combat, Regina (like Madoka Aguri) can grow older in a short period of time due to the amount of love she receives and emits.
