Personality
Fuwa is highly curious, friendly, and cheery despite her being a young and innocent baby. Because of her young age, she gets easily startled or frightened, and is also shown to be quite the glutton. She is also excited to befriend strangers, but this can lead the Cures and herself into trouble. Her ignorance can be a weakness for her, as the Notraiders takes advantage of this trait to kidnap her. As she grows older and changes form, she is shown to be courageous and selfless, willing to sacrifice herself to protect the universe.
Relationships
- Hoshina Hikaru, Hagoromo Lala, Amamiya Elena, Kaguya Madoka and Yuni: Her protectors and guardians. She loves them dearly and always hopes to make them proud, proven by how she sacrifies herself to protect them from the Ophiuchus Princess.
- Prunce: Her close friend. She sees him as an older brother figure and often relies on his protection.
Etymology
Her name comes from the Japanese onomatopoeia Fuwafuwa (フワフワ )?, which means "soft, fluffy".
History
Fuwa was first created by the Star Princesses who faced the invasion of the Notraiders. They then send her away with Prunce as their last hope.
After arriving on Earth, she met Hikaru, who she quickly befriended after Hikaru created a constellation based on her, and even took Hikaru on a brief space tour. She slowly bonded with Hikaru who fed her a donut and taught her some new words. She was even delighted to be renamed by Hikaru. Prunce and Lala then found her with Hikaru and thought her life was being threatened until they realized that Hikaru meant no harm. Later, Fuwa was targeted by Kappard, but Hikaru, who became Cure Star for the first time, rescued her from Kappard. STPC01
In most episodes, Fuwa usually helped the Cures revive the princesses one by one, by transforming into the constellations that each princess represented.
Once all the princesses have been found, she is fed by Hikaru under the Pisces Princess' order, even though she was not feeling hungry. When she takes a bite, the Shiny Twinkle Pen is created and she becomes a unicorn. STPC31 Nevertheless, it is revealed that she hasn’t reached her fully grown stage yet, and only the full power of every collected Twinkle Imagination can help her attain her complete grown form. STPC32
Near the finale of the season, after Darknest reveals herself as the Ophiuchus Princess, Fuwa and the other twelve princesses are kidnapped as the Star Palace is destroyed and left in ruins. STPC46 She, after being saved by the Cures, then sacrifices herself from Ophiuchus' black hole with all the Twinkle Imagination she has gathered, vanishing into thin air. STPC47
Fortunately, after battling Ophiuchus, Fuwa is revived by the imagination of the Cures, reappearing in her original form, but with a limited memory of only knowing Hikaru. Nevertheless, the Princesses have to keep her behind, and she is entrusted in the care of Prunce at the Palace.STPC48
15 years later, although the Princesses first assume that she can never be a unicorn again, it turns out that when Hikaru is launched into space, she has regained her teleportation power thanks to the imagination from everybody in the universe, and reunites with Hikaru from afar like a shooting star. STPC49
Abilities
She has a mysterious power to release the one of the sealed Star Princesses and open a warp hole. Although still enigmatic, her existence plays an important role in which she holds the key to the princesses' resurrection. She also grants the Cures their powers when they strongly vow to protect her, or in Yuni's case, the first four Cures as well as her planet.
She has a strong sense of smell, being able to recognize Yuni who was disguised as Bakenyan in episode 19.
After becoming a unicorn, she can help the Cures perform Star Twinkle Imagination after Cure Star inserts the Shiny Twinkle Pen into the golden star-turned sphere she created, which makes her horn glow and give the five Cures the united power of the 12 constellations to purify the enemy. In episode 33, it is shown that she can perform warping easily. Before she does so, her horn will glow in all colors of the rainbow, and anyone who is near her or holding her at that time will be warped as well. However, most of the time she messes up and lands in the wrong place.
