Cure Rhythm

Cure Rhythm (キュアリズム, Cure Rhythm)? is Pretty Cure alter ego of Kanade. In order to transform, she needs her Pretty Cure partner Hibiki and her Cure Module, along with the white Fairy Tone Rery.

Minamino Kanade

Minamino Kanade (南野奏, Minamino Kanade)? is one of the four main Cures in Suite Pretty Cure♪. She is a second-year student at Private Aria Academy and is in the same class as Hojo Hibiki and later Ellen. Kanade's alter ego is Cure Rhythm (キュアリズム, Cure Rhythm)?. Her catchphrase is "I'll show you my spirited recipe!" (気合のレシピみせてあげるわ!, "I'll show you my spirited recipe!") Her Pretty Cure partner is Cure Melody.

Appearance (As Minamino Kanade)

Kanade has olive eyes and chest-length, slightly curled dirty blonde hair partially held up in a ponytail by dark pink baubles. Casually, she wears a white long-sleeved shirt beneath a raspberry-ruffled top and baby pink miniskirt, matching the small ribbon and heart ornament beneath the chest. This is paired with dark raspberry flats and white stockings. In the summer, she switches to a puffy-sleeved white t-shirt featuring pink cuffs and heart design, and a three-layered bright pink skirt with white socks and pink sandals. In the movie, she wears a teal dress beneath a pale green camisole with an emerald ribbon at the top, white socks, and light yellow loafers.

Appearance (As Cure Rhythm)

As Cure Rhythm, her eyes brighten and her hair turns light blonde, entirely worn up in a curled ponytail held by a braid. Her bangs are longer and she gains a white rabbit-ear bow on a headband, adorned by a pink heart. She also gets a white ribbon choker and pale pink heart earrings with a light pink heart hanging from it. Her frilly white mini-dress has pale pink detailing and puffed sleeves with a ruffled trim that accentuates the neckline. The Cure Module is positioned at the center with a white and pink bow. The skirt is composed of two frilly white layers, pleated pale pink and white layers, and a matching colored peplum with a pink ribbon on the right corner. Additionally, she wears white ruffled wrist pieces with a pink heart and pale pink ribbon, along with a pair of white and pink boots featuring a pale pink sole, toe, and accents.

Personality

Kanade excels at studies but isn't good at sports. She is popular at school and dreams of being a pâtissière when she grows up and taking over her parents' cupcake shop, the Lucky Spoon. She also has a strong love for cats and an affinity for their paws. In comparison to Hibiki, Kanade is shown to be mature and calm. She is naturally quiet, but not out of shyness; showing a temperamental side when flustered or annoyed. She is also very stubborn and struggles to admit to being wrong or at fault, and due to feelings of inadequacy, she can become competitive and set on difficult short-term goals. However, Kanade is also friendly and feminine. She loves to make others happy with her elegant, motherly approach to things. While she can be stern with those she cares about, her fussing incidentally pushes them away until realizing she means no harm. At times she can also show a more girly personality, usually when dealing with her feelings for Ouji.
