Pekorin (ペコリン, Pekorin^?) is the main mascot for the KiraKira☆Pretty Cure A La Mode series. She is a puppy-like fairy who has long aspired to meet the legendary patissières Pretty Cure, so she often tries to face off with the enemy, only to get either blown away or hurt. She ends her sentences with "~peko". Her alter ego is Cure Pekorin (キュアペコリン, Kyua Pekorin^?), the Pretty Cure of Hunger and Sparkles.

Bio

Appearance

Pekorin is a pale pink dog-like fairy with white ears and a fluff on her head held up by a pink hair tie. She wears a bright pink bib around her neck with a cream fork and spoon crossing over each other. She also has bright blue eyes and rosy cheeks.

As a human, she has fair skin and light pink hair styled similar to her ears in her mascot form. She wears a yellow puffy dress with white long sleeves, her pink bib, and pink baby shoes with two reddish pink buttons. She has bright blue eyes and rosy cheeks.

As a Cure, she wears a pink dress with a hot pink ribbon at the center and a big lighter pink ribbon at the back. The sleeves are short and rounded with yellow beads. The bottom part of the dress is pink and yellow decorated with red spots, with a similar design as the carrying pouch for the Sweets Pact.. Her gloves are yellow with pink rims. She also wears boots that are pink at the top and cream at the bottom, with pink rims. Her hair becomes magenta and is styled in twin tails with two donut-shaped hair ornaments on each side of her head.

Pekorin doesn't have an À La Mode transformation like the other Cures, but when they changed into their À La Mode forms in episode 48, the bow on Pekorin's back grew larger, resembling a double donut. This change allowed her to fly after the other Cures without riding on one of their crystal animals like she did before, so it can be considered Pekorin's À La Mode style.

Personality

Pekorin is a rather spoiled fairy and is a glutton who is always seems to be hungry. She is passionate at making sweets, though is prone to make mistakes. But she is usually goodhearted and amiable to her friends, and will go at far lengths to help them by protecting their sweets.

Relationships

Usami Ichika - When she met Ichika, Pekorin quickly bonded with her after Ichika fed her and rescued her as Cure Whip, so Pekorin is the closest to her among the Cures. When they had to leave each other after the finale, Pekorin was beyond heartbroken.
Chourou - Being Chourou's apprentice, Pekorin respects him and is frequently seen accompanying him.
Kirarin/Kirahoshi Ciel - Pekorin and Kirarin are close friends with each other. In episode 21, Pekorin was overjoyed to reunite with Kirarin who transformed from Ciel back into her fairy form.

Etymology

ぺこりん (pekorin, ぺこりん^?) is an onomatopoeia signifying a quick bow, while ペコペコ (pekopeko, ペコペコ^?) means "very hungry".

History

In episode one, Pekorin ran into Ichika when she failed to prevent Gummy from stealing Kirakiraru. Hungry, Pekorin asked Ichika for a sweet, but noticed that Ichika was saddened over her mother not being able to return home. When Gummy reappeared and began draining the Kirakiraru from Ichika’s cakes, Pekorin flew off with the last piece in a bid to protect it, only to be hit by Gummy and fall at a fast rate. Her efforts moved Ichika who was then motivated to rescue her and she ended up being caught by Ichika who became Cure Whip for the first time.

In episode 7, Pekorin tried to made some donuts with the girls but failed thanks to Ichika's forgetfulness. When Chourou told the story of how the fairies from Ichigo Mountain were scattered because of the Kirakiraru Thieves, Pekorin couldn't help but cry before flying away. After Ichika encouraged her, she regained her confidence. But during her trip to the mountain's abandoned workshop, she couldn't control her urge to eat a donut and as a result she was spotted by Fueru. Fortunately, the Cures arrived and defended her from Fueru in time.

Abilities

She can feel the scent of energy called "Kirakiraru" which resides in sweets. Pekorin can even change the color of her ears based on her emotions:

Hungry Pekorin
Happy after eating cakes
Relaxing at the beach
Tears in her eyes

Light Blue - Hunger
Pink - Happiness
Yellow - Spoiled
Green - Fatigue
Red - Peevish
Dark Blue - Sadness

In addition, Pekorin has the ability to fly.

In episode 38, Lumière grants her the power to become a human. She loses that ability, however, when she helps the Cures counter Grave's attack. She regains the ability in episode 47 after vowing to protect her donuts and to save the girls from being emotionless.

In addition to being able to turn into a human once more, she was given Cure powers and was able to transform into Cure Pekorin. With this form, she helps the other Cures recover their memories and remember the things that they love. In the next episode, she helped the Cures in the final battle against Elisio, gaining the ability to fly as the Cures form changed.

Cure Pekorin

"With Hunger and Sparkles! Let's・La・Mix It All Up! Cure Pekorin! Is Ready To Serve!"
ペコペコとキラキラを！レッツ・ラ・まぜまぜ！キュアペコリン！できあがり！
Pekopeko to Kirakira wo! Rettsu・Ra・Mazemaze! Kyua Pekorin! Dekiagari!

Cure Pekorin (キュアペコリン, Cure Pekorin^?) is the Pretty Cure alter ego of Pekorin. She transforms using the phrase "Cure La Mode・Decoration!". As donuts are her favorite sweets, her Cure outfit features many donut shapes.

Transformations

Attacks

Cure Donut: Her only known formal attack, used in episode 49. Pekorin swings her Candy Rod around in a large circle while shouting "Calling forth a Cure Donut!" (キュアドーナツフルウ!, Kyua Dōnatsu furū!^?). A stream of kirakiraru follows the motion of her Candy Rod, then grows into a giant ring (donut) of kirakiraru. The ring is then sent to capture and restrict the foe by pointing her Candy Rod at them, while shouting "kirakirakirarun kirakiraru!".

Songs

Pekorin's voice actress, Kanai Mika, has participated in two image songs for the character she voices. One of them includes a duet which she sings alongside Miyama Karen, the voice actress of Usami Ichika.
