History[]

Upon hearing Mashiro returning to the house, Yoyo walks out to greet her. Yoyo is unfazed by what Mashiro tells her and invites Sora and Ellee-chan into the house. There, she tells the girls that people don't meet by chance, before allowing Sora and Ellee-chan to stay at the house until they find a way back to Sky Land. The next day, Yoyo looks after Ellee-chan, while watching Mashiro and Sora via the Mirror Pad. ^HSPC02

When Ellee-chan is feeling homesick, Yoyo tells Sora and Mashiro about the Mirror Pad and reveals that she's a Sky Landian. Yoyo explains that to contact Sky Land, the Mirror Pad needs a Sky Jewel, which is hidden on the hill behind the house. Later, when the girls return, Yoyo greets the king and queen of Sky Land, who recognize her as the hyper-amazing legendary honorary scholar. ^HSPC03

Yoyo later informs both Mashiro and Sora about the long-forgotten legend of a Pretty Cure answering the princess's prayer and saving Sky Land. She later adds that it will take her some time to create the items for helping Sora and Ellee-chan return to Sky Land. When Sora storms off, Yoyo is calm and instead tells Mashiro that she knows Sora is a kind girl. ^HSPC05

Yoyo later accepts Sora's apology for storming off before and notices that Sora is lonely. After telling Sora to run some errands, Yoyo calls Sorashido Academy to enroll Sora into the school, and tells both Sora and Mashiro about the news later that evening. ^HSPC06

When Ellee-chan gets better at walking, Yoyo tells the girls and Tsubasa to buy Ellee-chan a pair of new shoes. Yoyo later informs them she has finished making the tunnel to Sky Land, but also tells them that Mashiro will have to come back to Sorashido City. She and Ageha bid their farewells to the group as they enter the tunnel. ^HSPC13

Upon learning that Battamonda put a curse on the King and Queen, Yoyo tells the Cures that she has researched some information about the Undergu Empire, although she was only able to research the war with Sky Land. She also informs them that she can make a cure for the King and Queen by collecting Kira Kira Energy whenever the Cures purify the Ranborgs. ^HSPC16

Noticing that Tsubasa is troubled, Yoyo takes him and the girls to the outdoor vegetable garden. Yoyo teaches them about the environment, and also thanks Tsubasa for giving her an eagle model to protect the crops. After thanking Tsubasa for notifying them about a rain shower, Yoyo tells him that he can learn new things every day and that knowledge will one day help him find his dream. After returning home, Yoyo gives Tsubasa not only some more books but also the Mirror Pad so he can learn new things.^HSPC21

After learning that Sora has left, Yoyo ponders how a person can move forward after losing their dream since none of her books have the answer. She then delivers Mashiro's letter to Sora in Sky Land. To Yoyo's own surprise, Sora's Mirage Pen reappears in front of her. Yoyo then returns to Sorashido City with Sora and Ellee-chan, and she uses the Mirror Pad to gather the Shalalaborg's Kira Kira Energy. She then lets Captain Shalala rest in her house and admits that she's grateful for the Cures teaching her about having dreams and being heroes. ^HSPC23

Yoyo is later summoned to Sky Land by the King and Queen about a newly emerged ruin. She later accompanies the Cures on to journey through the ruin and wishes them luck in completing their last challenge. She meets up with the Cures again after they have obtained the Majestic Chroniclon, and watches them bid farewell to Minoton. ^HSPC33

When the King and Queen inform Yoyo about the Bright Jewel's disappearance, Yoyo asks Tsubasa for his help, although she doesn't elaborate on why she chooses him. Yoyo is proud of Tsubasa for convincing the Dragon Tribe to leave their island, which is the real reason why she chose him, and suggests that he can be a sage for the kingdom as she trusts he can use his knowledge to help others. ^HSPC38

Due to her sightings with Ellee-chan and her peculiar activities, Yoyo is told that she is considered to be a witch by the nursery's children. Yoyo plays along with the idea, even giving children extra treats she bought when Cure Pumpkin is stealing all of the treats. After the battle with Skearhead, Yoyo also gives treats to the Cures.^HSPC39

When Empress Undergu begins attacking Sky Land, Yoyo provides shelter to the Sky Landians in her home and transports them to Sorashido City using a tunnel. However, the tunnel disappeared because it couldn't transport so many people at once. Thankfully, Battamonda helps her evacuate the remaining Sky Landians using Undergu Energy. ^HSPC48 After the final battle, Yoyo tells Sora, Tsubasa, and Ellee-chan that she has been observing Sky Land from the Mirror Pad, and knew that the three of them would be good children, even telling Ellee-chan she has always known there was something mystical about the princess. Despite the three of them bidding her farewell, Yoyo is happy to have them visit from time to time. ^HSPC50
