Yotsuba Alice

Yotsuba Alice (四葉 ありす) is one of the main Cures in Doki Doki! Pretty Cure. She is another one of Mana's childhood friends and is the heiress of Yotsuba Enterprises. Her Cure form is Cure Rosetta (キュアロゼッタ).

Appearance
Alice has dark orange eyes and light brown hair worn in two layered buns adorned with two tiny clovers. A single curled strand of hair sticks out of each bun, while her bangs are cut at eyebrow length and her forelocks reach the bottom of her ears. She wears a white and lemon ruffled dress beneath a yellow long-sleeved camisole adorned with pale yellow frills and three orange bows. She also wears gold tights, black Mary-Jane shoes and a clover necklace. For summer, she wears a pale yellow dress with a short sleeved yellow camisole that has a clover design on the chest, along with a light orange choker.

As Cure Rosetta, her eyes and hair turn bright orange, with her forelocks and bangs the same. Her hair grows in length and is pulled into thick curled pigtails with two smaller curls on top of each side, reminiscent of a heart shape. Each pigtail is held with a mint-colored flower attached to gold leafy bows, each with a single strand hanging from it. She also gains clover earrings. Her yellow dress has white going down the center, with lining of mint. Her gold heart emblem is lined with a mint leaf border to match the fluffy choker and bow. Her skirt is shaped like a three-layer tutu over a frilly white petticoat. The top is yellow and white, while the second is pale yellow and the bottom is white and resembles a flower. Comes with mint and white wristlets with a yellow bow attached to them. Her white boots have mint lining, yellow center, and toe. A yellow bow is attached to each side of the boot. On her right side, hangs her Lovely Commune.

Personality
Alice is the mistress and heiress of Yotsuba Enterprises, an extremely successful business conglomerate. She is gentle and quiet, and has a somewhat bubbly manner and is always calm. Due to her upbringing, she is a girl of many talents, from music to martial arts to cooking. However, she sometimes says or does things which deviate from popular sentiment, shocking her friends, or just show it by going and introducing things and places owned by Yotsuba Industries, and consequently, owned by her.

Despite of her quiet nature, her anger is something to be wary of. Though rare, she can have powerful releases of her rage, especially if someone makes fun of or hurts her friends' feelings, and is very capable of beating up the ones at fault. Once calm and in control, she later regrets hurting them.

She attended the same elementary school as Mana and Rikka, however, she now attends a private middle school, Nanatsubashi Academy, instead. But still has a close bond with them and would always have monthly tea parties.

History
Mana and Rikka first met Alice when they were young, while Mana was trying to catch a butterfly the two of them wandered into the yard of Alice's family mansion, they also attended the same elementary school. In elementary school when Alice was bullied by older boys in the school, Mana stepped in and defended her. Later when the boys bring their older brother back, Alice gets mad and beats them up using the martial arts skills she learned from her grandfather and because of this she is a bit afraid to use her powers at first preferring to support them from the sidelines. She finds out about Pretty Cure from the security cameras at Clover Tower and a couple of other areas but has the footage erased to protect the secret. She also finds Lance when Rikka and Mana accidentally leave him at school. She finally overcomes her fear and steps in to help her friends and transforms into Cure Rosetta to protect Cure Heart and Cure Diamond.

Cure Rosetta
"The Sunny warmth! Cure Rosetta!" 陽だまりポカポカ！キュアロゼッタ！ ''Hidamari poka poka! Kyua Rozetta!'' Cure Rosetta (キュアロゼッタ) is Alice's Pretty Cure alter ego. She represents warmth.

Transformation
Lance cries out his name before Alice places her transformation Cure Lovead onto Lance's silver heart medallion object and shouts "Pretty Cure Love Link!" She then spells "L-O-V-E" on her Lovely Commune and the transformation begins. Alice floats around with her body glowing yellow. First, her hair glows yellow and grows into two long ponytails. Her hair then turns to a lighter orange and her hair accessories and clover shaped earrings start to appear, as well as her choker. Next, her arm warmers and dress appear as her Lovely Commune attaches itself to her dress. She taps her feet on the ground and her boots appear. Then she taps her chest and her yellow heart-shaped brooch materializes. Finally her dress ribbon appears and Cure Rosetta poses saying her introduction speech.

Attacks
Rosetta Wall is Cure Rosetta's main defense, with the incantation "Stiff and Strong, Rosetta Wall!" (カッチカチのロゼッタウォール！). It is the first defensive attack in the Doki Doki! series.

Rosetta Reflection is Cure Rosetta's secondary individual attack with the incantation Pretty Cure, Rosetta Reflection! (プリキュア、ロゼッタリフレクション!) It appears in Episode 11. She needs the Love Heart Arrow, and her Cure Lovead. She makes a clover-shaped wall that then appears and she uses it for defense. Although Rosetta Reflection is a defensive attack, the attack is also used for purifying Cutie Madame, which was used in Episode 25.

Rosetta Balloon is Cure Rosetta's third individual attack performed with Magical Lovely Pad. It first appeared in episode 33.

Power-Ups
Like her Cure partners, she can power up by herself when she takes the battle seriously, and when this happens, a yellow light glows around her body.

Etymology
Yotsuba (四葉) : Yotsuba (四葉) means "four leaves" or "four leafed", referring to a clover, which is similar in shape to Cure Rosetta's designated card suit, the club.

Arisu / Alice (ありす) : (Chinese 【中文】爱丽丝( The canon spelling of her name is currently unknown. In Japanese "Arisu", the hiragana spelling, is a common Japanese girl name "有栖", which mostly comes from one of the Japanese royalty last name "有栖川". In English, "Alice", a name meaning "noble", and is probably a tribute to the main character "Alice" from Lewis Carroll's story, "Through the Looking Glass". Carroll's Alice traveled to a trump card land named Kingdom of Hearts, which fits in with the theme of Doki Doki!.

Cure Rosetta refers to "Little Rose" in Italian.
