History
Starting a Family
Mizuki worked with the Red Florian company, a flower company that specialized in decorating flowers for celebrities. When she was visiting a garden looking for flowers for Red Florian, she stumbled into Hanasaki Youichi, who was doing research on the flowers. Tsubomi claims in the present that, when they saw each other in the eyes, it was love at first sight. Not long after they became a couple and later married, and eventually Mizuki gave birth to Tsubomi.
Despite their marriage, Mizuki and Youichi kept their separate jobs, both very important, and most of the time had to leave Tsubomi to Kaoruko. Unknown to her and her husband, though, while Tsubomi always said goodbye to them with a smile, she eventually became lonely and, presumed to be within the same year as the season's start, witnessed Tsubomi cry out of sadness when Mizuki came back to retrieve a notebook she forgot. When they approached her, Tsubomi clung into Mizuki's lap and confessed her loneliness. Mizuki and Youichi realized that their work could split their family, and made the decision of quitting their respective work move to Kaoruko's town Kibougahana and start their own flower shop there.HPC09
Living in Kibougahana
Mizuki and her family continues to like a normal life in their new town, though Mizuki and her husband have no idea that their daughter is a Pretty Cure, and that Kaoruko used to be, as well. One day, they get a visit from Youichi's former student, who wants Youichi to join the company he works in. Tsubomi, overhearing this, asks her father when eating dinner if he accepted. Mizuki and Youichi, both knowing that Tsubomi still has dark memories from their previous jobs, assures her that he declined the job, as they both love working in their shop. Mizuki later busts Tsubomi and Erika spying on Youichi and his student talking about their feelings for their jobs, but lets them get away with it.HPC09
