History[]
Before Go! Princess Pretty Cure[]
In ancient times, Dyspear was known as the darkness that emerged from the darkest depths of Hope Kingdom's forest. The previous Princess Pretty Cure sealed her away. They knew she would return even stronger than before, which was why the legendary warriors decided to create a fourth Princess Perfume.
Dyspear was able to return sometime later but in a weaken state. She occupied a place called the Forest of Despair where thorns were growing. One day, her influence reached the princess of the Hope Kingdom, Towa. She tricked her into coming with her, promising to make her a Grand Princess. The princess fell into her trap, allowing Dyspear to succeed in bringing down the hopes and dreams of the Hope Kingdom citizens. She wasn't satisfied with that, so Dyspear decided to brainwash Towa and raise her as her own daughter, Twilight to see Prince Kanata suffer.
