Bio

Appearance

Ha-chan has pink hair and big turquoise eyes with pink flowers in them. When born, her hair was very thin and framed her head with a daisy and a single leaf at the middle of her forehead. Her outfit was a mint onesie with a pink sphere on the chest that has emerald wings.

As a toddler, her hair gets fluffier with a curled pigtail on top of her head, with two flowers and leaf. She now wears a light turquoise dress and matching shoes. As a little girl her hair was worn in buns with thin spiked bangs. She now has three flowers on her head. She began wearing an emerald green top beneath a pastel turquoise blouse and three pink flowers on the chest, paired with a white flower-shaped skirt and turquoise shoes with daisies on them.

In her final fairy form, her wings grew in size. Her hair is chest length and is worn down. She now wears a light green headband with a pale pink flower on each side. She now wears a white flower-shaped dress with a pale turquoise top, accented with white ruffles, three dark pink flowers and a small red bow beneath them. She has a light green sash with tails sticking down with a dark pink flower on end. On each point of the skirt is a peach heart. She wears flower bracelets and pale turquoise boots with vines on them and a white flower on each.

After losing her wings and flower eye markings, she becomes Hanami Kotoha, and also grows to be about Mirai and Riko's height. She began wearing an emerald green headband with a daisy on each side. She now wears a pale mint off-shoulder blouse with pastel turquoise shoulder straps and a white ruffle trim around the chest bound by pink ribbon. Her light turquoise skirt has a pastel yellow butterfly on each side. Her waistband is emerald. Her shoes are turquoise and worn with white frilly socks.

In winter, she wears a cream turtleneck with a pink flower button, a green skirt, moss green tights, sand boots, and a green jacket.

In the movie, she wears a white ruffled top with a dark brown belt and a pale brown long-sleeved bolero jacket. Her skirt is light emerald with turquoise lining with brown loafers and white socks. For the festival, some of her hair is braided and is decorated with flowers. She wears a light emerald off-shoulder blouse with a striped ribbon on the chest. Her skirt is puffy and is mint-colored with a gradient and pink and orange flowers printed around. She also wears yellow tights with red shoes and white socks. She also wears a choker with a with gold butterfly in the middle.

As Cure Felice, she becomes the same height as Miracle and Magical and the flower marks in her eyes reappear. Her hair turns lighter and grows to her knees, worn in a pair of braided twin-tails. Her bangs grow to her waist with a yellow butterfly decoration at each end. She wears a gold forehead accessory with a tiny emerald hanging from the center. She also wears a green band with leafy pale turquoise ruffles hanging from the sides decorated with a flower and a butterfly. Her outfit consists of a pastel green dress with a fluffy skirt and a pale pink lace layer over it covered in orange and pink daisies. The chest has a dark pink rose with a leafy design and the sleeves are off-white elbow-length. The Linkle Smartbook hangs from a vine around the waist, and she has a green choker with a gold pearl at the middle. She wears green wristbands with a pastel green chain attached to a pink flower ring on the middle finger and green leaf-earrings. Her emerald heels have a white and gold butterfly on the top of the foot with pastel green ribbons around her legs accented with daisies.

In her Alexandrite Style, her hair grows longer and thicker. On the top of her head is a thick bun with braids, a pale mint bow and four green strands around her head. Her hair is also decorated with different flowers, leaves, and beads throughout it. Her dress entirely changes to a turquoise one that reaches her ankles and is wrapped in green vines and emerald green ribbons. The bottom part has hot pink roses and holly berries with a light green ruffle lining the bottom. The top part has a white lily with a gold chain with the Alexandrite Linkle Stone above that. The sleeves are see-through with an opening around the lower part of the arm. She also has a short winged cape, mint wrist protectors with green ribbon wrapped around them, and pink spherical rings on her middle fingers. She wears green heels with ribbon wrapped over the foot and ankle with daisies.

Heartful Style is the evolved form of Alexandrite Style. The flowers in her hair turn yellow, and her bow becomes a pink winged bow with pale green ribbon tails. Her dress turns white and the ribbon wrapped turns pale yellow and wing-like. The sleeves become pale green. The beads around her outfit and hair grow and turn pink and magenta, while the large rose on the dress becomes a fuchsia five-petal flower with a mint heart in the center and angel wings. Her wrist pieces and shoes are now white, and the flowers on her shoes turn pink and yellow. She gains light pink angelic wings. 

Personality

When Ha-chan was just a young fairy, she acted a lot like a normal toddler - always wanting to play and getting rather moody when things don't go her way. She could get rather sleepy after eating or drinking something and goes back into the Linkle Smartbook for rest. 

As Ha-chan grows older and goes under the name Kotoha, she acts quite mature and yet still cheerful and sweet. Due to Mirai being full of curiosity and Riko being a hard worker, Kotoha has been strongly influenced by both of them, and tend to behave extremely similar behavior that bear resemblance of their personalities. Although she has an innate gift of using magic, Kotoha had no idea why or how she is talented at it, until she inherited the ultimate power of Rapapa.

Relationships

Asahina Mirai and Izayoi Riko - Ha-chan loves Mirai and Riko a lot. She usually depends on them to feed her but in episode 15, she decided to feed herself due to the two girls and Mofurun not doing it for her, which is a step for her to do things herself instead of depending on the two girls all the time.

Mofurun - Ha-chan has always been somewhat close with Mofurun since she has helped with taking care of her. Mofurun has been seen at Ha-chan's side even during her rough times like when she was discouraged about the cookies.

Etymology

Hanami (花海, Hanami^?): Hana (花, Hana^?) means 'flower' which is probably a reference to the flower like theme she has going on. Mi (海, Mi^?) means 'sea'.

Kotoha (ことは, Kotoha^?) means 'word' or 'spell' which is probably a reference to how witches use spells to cast magic.

In episode 23, Kotoha chooses her first name because she says that her heart is full of words from others and recalls seeing a flower field (which turns out to be the Fairy Village), while Riko comes up with the family name "Hanami" when Mirai's mother asks her what it is.

"Ha" means "leaf" while "-chan" is a suffix used commonly for children or among girls.

Felice, taken from Italian language, means happy.

History

Ha-chan was just born out of a flower into Mirai's hands after the Pretty Cure's battle with Gamettsu in episode 4. Over time, she had grown thanks to the care Mirai and Izayoi Riko had provided for her.

In episode 5, she undergoes her first growth phase into a toddler and then the second becoming a child in epiosde 11. She also assists Mirai and Riko on defeating Sparda, Gamettsu and Batty, but unfortunately along with the Linkle Smartbook and Linkle Stone Emerald she falls into the hands of Dokurokushe.

In episode 21, she grows into her final stage as an adolescent and used her powers to quell Dokurokushe's dark power, but she evidently loses some of her powers and becomes a regular human, resulting her stuck in the No Magic World.

In episode 22, using the power of the Linkle Stone Emerald, she transforms into Cure Felice for the first time, saving Mirai and Riko from Yamoh's super-powered Yokubaru. After the battle, she reveals herself to be Ha-chan and adopts the name "Hanami Kotoha" soon after.

Throughout the next few episodes, she is shown to have great magic power at her disposal, but she tries to come to terms with it, thus becoming a prime target for Yamoh. Because of this, she thinks that she is endangering Mirai and Riko's lives. In episode 26, she even becomes captured by him after she strives to stop implicating Mirai and Riko by running away from them, but thanks to the other two Cures' desire to stay with her and the power of the Pink Tourmaline Linkle Stone, she is freed and purifies Yamoh, and reconciles with both of them. However, nobody other than Miari and Riko recognizes her as the baby fairy they know, including Jun, Kay and Emily whom she reveals her identity to. She then attends schools in both No Magic World and Magic World respectively.

In episode 43, she returns to her fairy form upon entering Fairy Village, and the Ancient Queen probes that she has a strong association with Mother RaPaPa. This is soon confirmed by Orba in episode 45, who divulges her position as the successor of Mother RaPaPa's powers.

In episode 49, upon inheriting Mother RaPaPa's powerful magic, she ultimately separates both worlds as well as leaving Mirai and Riko behind. Nevertheless, she is able to reunite with Mirai, Riko and Mofurun after Mirai reignites the magic of miracles a few years later.

"Spreading blessings to lives far and wide! Cure Felice!"
あまねく生命に祝福を！キュアフェリーチェ！
Amaneku inochi ni shukufuku wo! Kyua Ferīche!

Cure Felice (キュアフェリーチェ, Cure Felice^?) is the Pretty Cure alter ego of Ha-chan. She controls the power of life, and is represented by the flower and transforms with the phrase "Felice・Fun Fun・Flowerle!". Her main attack is Emerald Reincarnation, which she can only perform if she has her weapon, Flower Echo Wand. 

Alexandrite Style

Alexandrite Style

Alexandrite Style (アレキサンドライトスタイル, Alexandrite Style^?) is the form that Kotoha obtains in episode 31, alongside Mirai and Riko. To transform, she must already be in her Emerald Style, and she must be with Mirai and Riko. She should have Mofurun, her Linkle Stone Alexandrite and the Rainbow Carriage to perform Extreme Rainbow in this form.

Attacks

• Emerald Reincarnation (エメラルドリンカネーション, Emerald Reincarnation^?): Cure Felice's main attack that she can only perform with her Flower Echo Wand. She first performs it in episode 22.
• Linkle Pink Tourmaline (リンクルピンクトルマリン, Linkle Pink Tourmaline^?): The sub attack that Cure Felice performs for the first time in episode 26. To use it, she must have her Flower Echo Wand and the Linkle Stone Pink Tourmaline.
• Extreme Rainbow (エクストリームレインボー, Extreme Rainbow^?) is the first group attack that Cure Felice performs with Cure Miracle and Cure Magical. To perform it, she must be in her Over The Rainbow Style and have the Linkle Stone Alexandrite to insert onto the Mofurun's bow.
• Heartful Rainbow (ハートフルレインボー, Heartful Rainbow^?) is the group attack Cure Felice performs with the others for the first and only time in the movie.

Abilities

Ha-chan is shown to have abilities to use with the Linkle Smartbook and is able to power the Cures' attacks. For example, she uses the book to allow Sapphire Smartish to power up and defeat Sparda in episode 16. In episode 11, she shields Mofurun from a Yokubaru attack with an energy barrier.

In episode 22, Ha-chan transforms into Cure Felice and gets the power of the Emerald Linkle Stone and the Flower Echo Wand which has an attack called Emerald Reincarnation.

Trivia

• Episode 26 revealed that Ha-chan cannot transform into Felice if she lacks strong feelings or happiness.
• In episode 49, Ha-chan is the only one who has not aged in appearance. This is probably due to her not being fully human.
• Magic Crystal once predicted that once catastrophe came upon the worlds, Ha-chan's magic would be awakened with potent radiance of life.
