Kasugano Urara

Urara Kasugano (Erica Kasugano in the English Version) is easily the youngest member of Pretty Cure in Yes! Pretty Cure 5 and its sequel. Her alter ego is the Cure of Effervescence, Cure Lemonade (キュアレモネード).

Urara always acts cheerful to people wherever she goes, but is shy until she meets Nozomi, who acts as her friend instantly when they meet. Urara is a bit materialistic and takes her job seriously, but because of her busy lifestyle, she had no friends when she begins at her new school. Because of her fire for her job, she is very calm and polite, referring to most of Pretty Cure with the suffix "-san".

Relationships
Family: Urara has a strong bond with her family, as they always used to have fun in their house and never fight. Because of her love for her mother, she wanted to follow in her footsteps, even try to make the same curry as she did.

Yumehara Nozomi: When Nozomi happily introduced herself to Urara and after showing her around the school, the two become fast friends, and Urara always entrusts her fears and doubts to the senior.

Syrup: In the second season, Syrup shows up, and Urara is always kind and understanding, showing signs that she has bonded with him, similar to how Nozomi and Komachi are with Coco and Natts respective.

Cure Lemonade
"The effeverscent fragrance of lemon, Cure Lemonade!" はじけるレモンの香り、キュアレモネード！ "Hajikeru remon no kaori, Kyuaremoneedo!" Cure Lemonade (キュアレモネード), also known as the Cure of Effeverscence, is the only one in Pretty Cure who does not have any counterpart or partner, and uses the element of lemons, or light. Her clothes are always unique compared to the others, as she has a fluffier, more feminine feel to her uniform. As Cure Lemonade, Urara has much more confidence and does not hesitate as much as in human form. Alone, Cure Lemonade can perform the attack Lemonade Flash. When her powers get upgraded with the Lemonade Castanet, she uses Lemonade Shining. At the end of the first season, all the five girls can combine their powers and do the attack Five Explosion.

In ''Yes! Pretty Cure 5 GoGo!'', her dress is unique once again with an extra row of frills and another kind of skirt. A couple of small roses are now in her hair, and her powers have become greater. Cure Lemonade now uses the attack Prism Chain, also able to use it to stop the enemy from moving. With the other five girls and their Cure Fleurets half through the season, she can perform Rainbow Rose Explosion and, with Milky Rose, Floral Explosion.

Cure Rainbow Lemonade
Cure Rainbow Lemonade (キュアレインボー・レモネード) is an upgrade Cure Lemoade gains in Pretty Cure All Stars DX 2: Kibou no Hikari - Rainbow Jewel o Mamore!. Together with the others' upgrades, the group of seventeen girls form the group Cure Rainbow. This upgraded outfit resembles that of Shining Dream from Yes! Pretty Cure 5 GoGo!: Okashi no Kuni no Happy Birthday, except with the color yellow instead of pink and a pair of small golden wings instead of grand white ones.

Etymology
Kasugano (春日野): Kasu (春) translates to spring and ga (日) translates to sun; day. Together, as "spring day", they most likely refer to Cure Lemonade's light-based powers and the common association of light and spring days, as well as the light given off by the sun. No (野) translates to plain; field and is a common component in Japanese surnames.

Urara (うらら): A name with a few potential meanings depending on how it is written in kanji, and Urara's name is written in hiragana instead. However, the most common and most likely intended meaning is bright; beautiful; fine; glorious, derived from the adjective uraraka (麗らか). And Urara can be japanese version of name Ursula.
