Shirabe Ako is a character from Suite Pretty Cure♪. She is the Princess of Major Land, but has come to the human world for reasons yet unknown. She is 10 years old, a student of the Public Kanon Elementery School and Minamino Souta's classmate. In order to save her father Mephisto, whose heart has been tainted with evil, she disguised herself as the Masked Cure. She finally takes off her mask in SPC35 to try to win back her father's gentle heart, and fights alongside Melody, Rhythm and Beat at last. Ako's attitude in the beginning of the series is cold, and she is not above lecturing people older than her. She is the youngest Cure in the group, but the most mature. Ako's alter ego is Cure Muse (キュアミューズ Kyua Myūzu?). She uses the purple Fairy Tone Dodory to transform.

Original masked Form
Cure Muse is the alter Pretty Cure-ego of Ako, first shown in the opening of Suite Pretty Cure♪. In her first appearance She wears a mask with a heart-shaped jewel on it, and is shown with a purple Fairy Tone called Dodory on her shoulder and a Cure Module on her chest. In Episode 35, her true identity is revealed.
True form
When her true form is revealed she transforms by using her Cure Module, along with her Fairy Tone, Dodory. When transformed, her normally short orange hair become knee length and gains two ribbons on her head.
Masked form and the search for her true identity
When she was first introduced, Hibiki and Kanade immediately began speculating about her identity. Some suspects were Nishijima Waon and Higashiyama Seika. Also Bassdrum calls out to Cure Muse and refers to her as "Siren!" leading to the speculation that Cure Muse may actually be Siren.SPC12 However, this is soon proven false, as she saves the Cures from Siren herself.SPC13 Later Cure Muse is revealed to be Ako along with her true form as a yellow cure.SPC35
On episode 36, she punched the evil out of Mephisto. Also, her henshin is shown for the first time.
Abilities and Powers
Not much is known about her, but in her masked form she is shown to be able to create a rainbow piano by clapping her hands together and spreading the keys out, and then shooting the keys at an enemy, which traps them long enough for them to be purified.
She is also able to create that same rainbow piano keyboard to make soundproof barriers, which she uses to protect people from the Melody of Sorrow.
Her powers in her true form have yet to be revealed.
Trivia

- Ako is the youngest main character in the franchise thus far, next to Urara from Yes! Pretty Cure 5 and Hikari from Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart.
- Cure Muse looks quite mature for her age and she also looks a lot older than she really is. Which is probably why Hibiki, Kanade and Ellen did not suspect Ako to be Cure Muse at first, thinking that it was someone older.

- She is shown to have a slight interest in music
- She is mostly shown with Kanade's little brother, Minamino Souta which might mean that they are good friends
- Cure Muse's yellow and puffy outfit, appears to be similar to Cure Pine's.
- Ako is the third Cure to wear glasses, the first is Hanasaki Tsubomi and Tsukikage Yuri, but neither wore glasses when they were Cures.
- As Cure Muse she is the first cure that has had a total form change during the course of the season not counting upgrades.
- Cure Muse is the first main character whose motives and true identity are unknown in her first appearance.
