Characters[]

Pretty Cure[]

Hanadera Nodoka (花寺のどか, Hanadera Nodoka^?)
Nodoka is a second year middle school student who just moved to Sukoyaka City. She's very calm and goes at her own pace, and strives to try many different things, but doesn't have the athletic ability to accomplish most of them. Above all this, she has a very kind heart and just wants to be of use to someone. When impressed, she often says "Woah~" (「ふわあ～」, "Woah~"^?). Together with Rabirin, Nodoka can transform into the Pretty Cure of Flowers, Cure Grace (キュアグレース, Cure Grace^?).

Sawaizumi Chiyu (沢泉ちゆ, Sawaizumi Chiyu^?)
Chiyu is a second year middle school student who lives a hygienic and cheerful lifestyle. She's the older sister type who, if she sees anything wrong, will do anything to help. She's very serious with a strong sense of responsibility, and will try to do everything herself. She is sporty, being the ace of the school's track and field team, and smart as well, especially when it comes to science. Her family runs a hot spring inn. Together with Pegitan, Chiyu can transform into the Pretty Cure of Water, Cure Fontaine (キュアフォンテーヌ, Cure Fontaine^?).

Hiramitsu Hinata (平光ひなた, Hiramitsu Hinata^?)
Hinata is a bright, outgoing and friendly second year middle school student. She tends to speak her mind, relevant or not. She is a honest girl, always apologising once she realizes she did something wrong. She isn't good at studying. She absolutely loves fashion and cosmetics but is so fond of it that she isn't great at judging it fairly. She has a habit of saying "Really" (「めっちゃ」, "Really"^?) a lot and her family runs an animal clinic and a cafe. Together with Nyatoran, Hinata transforms into the Pretty Cure of Light, Cure Sparkle (キュアスパークル, Cure Sparkle^?).

Fuurin Asumi (風鈴アスミ, Fuurin Asumi^?)
Asumi is a spirit who was born through the power of the Earth as a human in response to Teatinu's prayers. She looks to be 20 years old but is actually a "newborn" who doesn't understand anything about being human. She is mysterious yet always has a smile on her face. Together with Latte, Asumi can transform into the Pretty Cure of Wind, Cure Earth (キュアアース, Cure Earth^?).

Allies[]

Rabirin (ラビリン, Rabirin^?)

Nyatoran (ニャトラン, Nyatoran^?)
Nyatoran is very free-spirited and much like Hinata, who he gets along with, says whatever is on his mind. He is also a show off who can act too cool. When he gets impatient or in a serious mood, he says "~nya" (「～ニャ」, "~nya"^?) at the end of his sentences.

Latte (ラテ, Latte^?)
Latte is a young princess from Healing Garden. Due to being young, she hasn't gained the ability to speak yet, but by using a stethoscope, you can hear her inner voice.

  - Hinata's mother was also meant to appear in both the fashion and Christmas episode.
Ikeda Yoko stated in an interview from the Healin' Good♥Pretty Cure Official Complete Book that she wanted to show the normal life and appearances of girls through this season. She noticed that people who had been watching Pretty Cure for years might be expecting too much from the main characters, so she decided to create Cures who cherish their own feelings more.
