Pretty Cure
Nono Hana (野乃はな) A 2nd year middle school student who had just transferred for the new semester.

Thanks to her strong desire of protecting Hugtan, Hana becomes the Pretty Cure of High Spirit, Cure Yell (キュアエール).

Yakushiji Saaya (薬師寺さあや) The kind class president from Hana's class who is gentle as an angel toward anyone. Her mother is an actor and Saaya herself was a famous child actor however now she doesn't know what to do in the future. Owing to her desire to protect Cure Yell and become a stronger person, Saaya transforms into the Pretty Cure of Wisdom, Cure Ange (キュアアンジュ).

Kagayaki Homare (輝木ほまれ) A charming and mature girl from Hana's class who loves fashion. Homare is good at everything; furthermore she used to be a figure skater.
