My three picks. I will be rambling so feel free to ignore or read.

2) Bloom and Egret (share a spot) -

-I have not watched Splash Star so I admit the review of them may be unfair. But from my view, the pair are extremely reminiscent of Nagisa and Honoka, rather than offering. Something new. I do know they play different sports, and Mai draws instead of does chemistry, but visually they are like copies.

- I personally believe their costumes are perhaps the worst in the Precure franchise. I'm aware that clothing isn't what makes the series great, but I do find their designs the most unappealing.

I guess I'll check the season soon.

1) Cure Parfait -

My least favorite Precure of all. ugh. lol

- Her design. I love feminine and over the top designs, but not her combination of pink, rainbows, and a unicorn motif of all animals. It's a sugary overkill. I miss when mid-season Cures didn't always have to be super pink, and could be whatever color (Cure Ace, Beat, Muse, Moonlight, Sunshine). I guess they need to bost those sales cause nowadays the mid-seasons are wayy too pink compared to the rest of the time. Thank goodness for Cure Cosmo

- Spotlight. She takes so much time away from the other girls. I'm aware that all mid-season cures have a more prominent focus,but with Parfait, it is more apparent than other mid-season cures. Other seasons have plenty of episodes for the other Cures to get their iconic moments and fights, and I simply feel like in Kirakira, the girls didn't quite get enough.

- Undeserving. I do think Bibury would've made a better choice as the 6th Cure instead of Parfait. She struggled so much, and it would've been rewarding for her to finally awaken as the 6th Cure (green) to join the team. Yes Ciel had hardships but to me it is nowhere as drawn out as Bibury's extra and over the top depressing story lol. Bibury would've been our first Cure from the past to join the main team. Like I said though, I'm sure they wanted a pink and girly character to join instead, for risk of sale decreases had green been chosen. To see Bibury be relegated to a side character is sad and brings me to my next point.

- Replacing the "green" cure spot. - when Cure Parfait was rumored, but no image was announced yet, I was delighted and hoped the 6th Cure would be green. I was 99% sure she would be green haha since the original 5 were already the colors of the rainbow, except green, right? lol. When her design came out, I was highly disappointed lol.. To add insult to injury, she is considered a "green" cure without physically being the color.

Overall I find her to be too much of a 'perfect' character with too pink of a design, and I had wish we had got a true green-haired Precure instead.
