bored, soooo… here’s a little update to my fan precure, “Spring Flower Precure!” (old version here)
namika fukushima -> cure lotus
roughly translated to “the wave of the blessed island”
extroverted, creative, & intelligent
interests: nature, art, traveling
dislikes: demotivation, stress, really hot summers
namika goes to sakuhana high school and is a high-grade student (although she has nearly missed the bell a couple of times). she has loved nature since she was a child and even has a garden in the backyard of her home! when she meets nalin, she becomes cure lotus, who is the shining sun of blessed joy! ☀️
yuri kiyono -> cure lily (formerly yuri saitou)*
*surname changed to better fit the theme of the “season” and make it a more fluid translation than the older version
roughly translated to “pure lily” or “the pure field of lilies”
hardworking, caring, & intelligent
interests: making origamis, writing, friendly debates
dislikes: unorganization, strong perfumes, harsh criticisms
yuri also goes to sakuhana high school and is the vice president! although seen as very serious when it comes to her job, she is really kind and helpful to her fellow classmates. a little secret that she hides is that she has a huge sweet tooth! she can’t help it when she sees a delicious crêpe or shortcake! when she meets lila, she becomes cure lily, who is pure of heart and rebirth! 🕊️
shizuka yukoran* -> cure orchid
*first name changed to better fit the character (a.k.a. me, this is my self insert! :D)
roughly translated to “the quiet child of the gentle orchids”
creative, introverted, & averagely intelligent
interests: art, reading, baking
dislikes: insects, horror, long conversations, public events
at sakuhana high, shizuka sees herself as an averagely smart person, but everyone thinks she’s pretty smart. they’re not a social person, but whenever they’re alone, she loves to listen to music and cosplay! when she meets winnie, they become cure orchid, who is hopeful, gentle, and light as a petal! 🩷
akako tsubaki -> cure camellia

dislikes: rude people (in general, but it’s more personal when they speak to her family), horror, heights, & the dark
a transfer student from kyoto. she unfortunately lost her mother when she was young due to a long-term illness of dementia. the last parting gift of hers was a necklace of a red camellia, which was a gift from her mother and was her favorite flower. akako now has to balance her life as a high school student, a strong daughter dealing with loss like her father, and a mother figure to her little sister, aiko. when she meets mallie, she becomes cure camellia, who is resilient and strong as love! ❤️🔥
hisako sumire -> cure wisteria
roughly translated to “the longing violet flower”
dislikes: dolls & sudden loud noises
