Personality[]
Yayoi is a shy girl with a big heart. She was first depicted as a crybaby, "crying over the slightest nudge". Though she had a few friends, she mostly kept to herself due to her shy and modest nature. When Miyuki and Akane saw what potential she had in art, they managed to draw a more passionate fire out of her. When their lives were put in danger, she completely shed her babyish personality and showed her true strength.
Now that she's made a few friends, Yayoi has become more outgoing and passionate about being a Pretty Cure, especially the superhero elements. She is quite bubbly and sweet, and while she may appear as a crybaby, she is actually quite strong when it comes to protecting her friends and making the right decision.
Relationships[]
Hoshizora Miyuki: Being a shy girl, Yayoi understands how Miyuki must feel being the new girl in class, and so does her best to make Miyuki feel welcome. She also shows genuine concern for Miyuki whenever she gets hurt.
Hino Akane: Despite how Akane always teases Yayoi about being a crybaby, the two seem to be good friends and are often seen together.
Aoki Reika: Yayoi likes Reika the same way Reika does. There's not much about their relationship during the series. Reika likes her artworks and fascinated by how she does her art.
Kise Yuuichi: When Yayoi was younger, she was very close to her father. Yuuichi loves her and once said after a stressing time from work, he would always be relaxed when Yayoi comes to him.

History[]
Meeting Miyuki[]
She first met Hoshizora Miyuki when Hino Akane was trying to help Miyuki with her self introduction and later assures her of this. Miyuki became more acquainted with Yayoi after catching her sketching a few characters. Seeing what potential she had, Akane and Miyuki insisted she enter the school's poster competition.
Becoming Cure Peace[]
Yayoi's modest nature got the best of her when she didn't win the poster competition, and she cried after being teased and ripped the poster from the wall before running away. She met Akaoni, who turned everything into a bad ending and her poster into an Akanbe. Miyuki and Akane transformed, but they used too much power at the start of the fight and became too tired to continue. Yayoi gathered her courage and tried to protect her friends when a beam of light hits her and she transforms into Cure Peace. However, she immediately gets scared and runs from the Akanbe. While she runs with Cure Happy and Cure Sunny, she falls over and starts crying. Her tears release a surge of lightning, and when Candy tells her that this is her power, she uses Peace Thunder to finish it off.SmPC03
They succeeded in bringing together the remainder of the group and got to know Pop, Candy's big brother, who has come to tell them more about being Pretty Cure. He gives the Decor Décor to the girls and showed them the Magical Library.SmPC06 It was April Fool's and Yayoi decides to play around by lying to her mother, then later to Miyuki by saying she has to transfer schools, unaware of how seriously she would take this. This led her to worry they would hate her when she confessed, and by the time she discovered they were throwing a party for her, she ran away in tears. Akaoni came and summoned an Akanbe, then revealed to the group that Peace was a liar after they said they hated them. Peach confessed that she was lying because it was April Fool's and apologized, but the girls were just happy to know she wouldn't be leaving them; and angry with Happy for believing it. Peace happily managed to turn the tide on Akaoni, and after the battle she went to tell everyone in class the truth. Her friends then played a small prank on her that causes her to cry again..SmPC09
All the Pretty Cures get new power called Tiara Mode. With it, she uses their first group attack, Rainbow Healing.SmPC12 Nao volunteers herself and the Pretty Cures to the baton relay race. Yayoi didn't have good running ability and wasn't confident, so Nao offered to help her train until she began to feel better; but after overhearing her classmates badmouth her poor skill, she loses her confidence, which remains until the day of the race. Akaoni appeared to suck up the bad energy and the girls did battle, with Peace still doubting they could win until March yelled out, assuring her that through teamwork they could win. Yayoi does very well and everyone encourages her to keep going, but when she passed the baton to Nao she ends up tripping and comes in last place. She cries and the others come together to embrace and weep with her.SmPC18
Pop came back to tell the Pretty Cures that they have one more Decor to revive the Royale Queen. When they told him about Tanbata festival, Pop told them a holiday they celebrate from Märchenland that the natives laid out candles and wished on a shooting star, hoping that Pegasus would grant their wishes. The girls began to hang their tanzaku on the bamboo tree and Miyuki decided to use the Star Decor piece as part of the decorations. When they went to the park to see the stars, an Akanbe attacked and the Pretty Cures managed to defeat it and get the last Decor but was quickly stolen by Joker and he kidnapped Candy.SmPC21
Going to the Bad End Kingdom and Pierrot’s Revival[]
The Pretty Cures were sad about Candy's kidnapping. Miyuki discovered they still have one Decor they used for the tanabata decoration and decided to go to Märchenland to go to the Bad End Kingdom to rescue Candy and the Decor Decor. When the Cures traveled to Märchenland, there were no one around and Joker appeared to fight them. The Pretty Cure transformed, but were defeated by him and have their Bad Energy absorbed because he needs the Cures Bad Energy so Pierrot could revive and left with the Cures hopeless. The Cures don't know what to do and Miyuki suggests they separate to think about what is most important to them. When Miyuki and the gang were by themselves and each thinks about it, they read the tanzaku that Candy had written about them. With their resolved strength, the girls united and prepare to venture to the Bad End Kingdom and promise to rescue Candy and everyone will return home safely. When they went to the Bad End Kingdom, the commanders, Wolfrun, Akaoni, Majorina and Joker were waiting for them. Cure Peace battles Akaoni while the others battles the commanders and Happy went to rescue Candy. All the Cures were almost defeated, but when they remembered their promise, the Pretty Cures were encouraged to win their fights.
As the Cures united and put the last Decor, they find the Decor Decór doesn't seem to do anything with all the Decors inside, Emperor Pierrot reveals himself. Just as the Cures are overwhelmed by Pierrot's power, the Decor Decór glows and the Cures are contacted by the Queen of Märchenland, who grants them the power of the Princess Candles, allowing them to evolve into their new Princess Forms and defeat Pierrot.SmPC23
Going back to Märchenland[]
The Cures traveled back to Märchenland and met Royale Queen, where they learn she's been frozen in stone. Pop turned the girls into fairies after they realized the inhabitants were uncomfortable around them. While Pop researched why the Queen wasn't revived, Candy and the other Cures decided to take a tour around Märchenland. They saw characters from stories and doing the scenes from the stories like Red Riding Hood and Ali-Baba and the 40 Thieves. While Pop was researching in the library, the girls were enjoying the sights of the village. When they arrived at a house made of candies, they went to eat it. Puss wanted to get candy and Miyuki tried to help him until she sneezed causing everyone to revert their human forms. The fairies were afraid at first but Miyuki gave Puss the candy he tried to get and soon the fairies realize they are nice and accepted them. They heard about the Miracle jewels from the fairies that they would grant any wish. Candy said that Joker was talking about them when she was captured. Suddenly, Wolfrun appeared for the Miracle Jewels and absorbed the bad energy from the Fairies.
The Pretty Cures transformed and Wolfrun used the super red nosed Akanbe and it was too powerful for the Cures and almost defeated, but heard the fairies despair and stood up again. Suddenly the Princess Candles reappeared again and they transformed to Princess Form. They defeated the Akanbe using Rainbow Burst and it released two Cure Decor pieces. After Wolfurun retreated, the girls heard Royale Queen's voice and headed back to the castle. Royale Queen was speaking through telepathy and explained that the original Cure Decor pieces which were supposed to revive her were instead given to Pegasus so that the girls could attain Princess Form. She also informed them that Pierrot is still alive and they had to gather more Cure Decor pieces to revive her. Everyone was troubled with the thought of more battle, but Miyuki encouraged everyone to work harder and revive Royale Queen. They then said goodbye to the fairies as the girls and Candy returned to the human world.SmPC24
The others want to see places they dreamed of. They took advantage of the Magical Library and gone to many places they dreamed of going. They went to New York where Yayoi wanted to go and all of the Pretty Cures copy the gesture of the Statue of Liberty and bystanders praise for her act on a USA super-hero. After seeing all the places they wanted to go, their last stop was the Amazon River. While on the boat ride, Akaoni attacked and summoned Piranha Akanbe and ate Candy. It was too hard for them to swim, but Candy used the Dolphin Decor and turned them all to Mermaids. In Mermaid mode, Peace used Peace Thunder causing a big shock for the Akanbe and the Pretty Cures. They manage to defeat the Akanbe and collected the last two Decors. Back at the Magic Library, when putting the Decors into the Decor Decor, a mysterious clock appeared.
