Her casual attire is a white dress with a light blue bow around the waist and a sky blue bow attached to a blue and gold flower by a chain on the chest. Her skirt as two layers beneath it, including a pale yellow scallop with sky blue bows spread inches apart, followed by a frilly petticoat. She pairs this dress with white shoes that have a beige sole and ribbon wrapped around the foot and ankle. During summer she switches this for a light blue dress with scalloped skirt lined in frills and a magenta ribbon at the waist. White puffy fabric covers the collarbone and shoulders with pale blue cuffs and collar. She wears a flower necklace, a ribbon bracelet, and a pair of sandals matching her accessories.

Personality

Hime is a spoiled fashionista who became a Cure to save the Blue Sky Kingdom. Despite her brave decision, she is easily scared and tries to escape from danger in the middle of fights. Because of her shyness, she never had friends until meeting Aino Megumi. Hime is also stubborn and headstrong, and can be impatient and determined, as shown in episode 23, when she tries to persuade Iona to instantly accept their offer to join their team. She can also be forceful and at times selfish, once hurrying the girls back to the embassy due to being hungry.

Hime is often shown to have a wild imagination of sorts. In one instance, she imagines that Cure Lovely is splitting up the Happiness Charge Pretty Cure team in favor of a new partnership with Cure Fortune.^HCPC20She also imagines Yuko, who was taking care of Phantom, hugging Phantom romantically when she eavesdrops on the two.^HCPC31

Relationships

• Aino Megumi: Due to her shyness, Hime has never had a friend before Megumi. They share a love for fashion. They had been close friends since they met. At one point, when it was revealed that Hime opened Axia, Hime thought she lost her friends and that Megumi was replacing her with Fortune, but that turns out to be false when Megumi tearfully announced that she is Hime's precious friend.
• Omori Yuko: They met at the park when she was depressed. They eventually became friends in episode 4. She loves to give her her homemade honey candy to make her happy.
• Ribbon: Megumi and Hime's mascot partner. Ribbon acts like a strict mother/guardian figure towards Hime.
• Blue: Her master who always advises and instructs her. She appears to have rather friendly or sibling-like relationship with him.
• Hikawa Iona: They seem to have known each other prior to the beginning of the series. Before episode 22, Fortune held a grudge. She also advised Megumi not to trust Hime or else it will be a disaster. Iona also acts cold and strict towards her in their civilian form. In episode 19, Iona finally teams up with Megumi and Yuko, but leaves Hime out, which makes her very upset and guilty. In episode 20, Iona reveals that Hime opened Axia, which caused her sister, Maria to become a Cure and get captured by Phantom. She even goes as far as saying Hime doesn't deserve to be a Cure. Despite all that, in episode 22, Princess gives her Precards she collected thus far as an apology for what she did, putting Iona's wish to save her sister over her own wish to save her kingdom. After finally defeating Phantom, she apologizes for her cold actions towards Hime and agrees to join the team. In episode 23, the two of them formed a stronger bond after going on a shopping trip and defeating Saiarks. Hime told Iona she was lured into opening Axia because of a voice she overheard from it, which made Iona regret taking her rage out on Hime.
• Sagara Seiji: Both met when Megumi introduced her to him. She used to think she had a crush on him, but realized she only liked that he saved her, and that she misunderstood her feelings.
• King and Queen: Her unnamed parents. She sworn that she will save them after the Phantom Empire were defeated.
• Prince Zeke: She met Prince Zeke in the movie. Hime fell in love with him, but those feelings were crushed when she found out he was a doll and bonds a relationship with Tsumugi.
