Cure Melody

Cure Melody

Cure Melody (キュアメロディ, Cure Melody)? is the Pretty Cure alter ego of Hibiki. She transforms using her Cure Module, along with Fairy Tone Dory. She cannot transform without her Pretty Cure partner, Kanade. Cure Melody and Cure Rhythm can perform an attack together called Passionato Harmony, though with the Miracle Belltier, she can perform Music Rondo, an individual purification attack. With Cure Muse's help, Cure Melody is now able to use a powered up version known as Miracle Heart Arpeggio. Also, after Rhythm and herself settle their differences with each other, they are able to perform the group attack Music Rondo Super Quartet. This attack can be used when both Belltiers are in Crossrod mode.

Hojo Hibiki

Hojo Hibiki (北条響, Hojo Hibiki)? is one of the four main Cures in Suite Pretty Cure♪ and she is also the group leader. She is a second-year student at Private Aria Academy and is in the same class as Kanade and later Ellen. Hibiki's alter ego is Cure Melody (キュアメロディ, Cure Melody)?. Her catchphrase is "I'm betting my pride as a woman on this!" (ここで決めなきゃ女がすたる!, "I'm betting my pride as a woman on this!")?. Her Pretty Cure partner is Cure Rhythm.

Appearance (As Hojo Hibiki)

Hibiki has dark blue eyes and long, waist-length auburn hair with a pair of pigtails held by pink ribbons. Several loose strands stick out and she has thick bangs, with thinner forelocks. Casually, she wears a white long sleeve shirt and black leggings with magenta detail, worn beneath a matching colored dress, featuring a heart design, ruffled sleeves and layered skirt. Her sneakers are white and light pink. In the summer, she switches to a black tank-top beneath a pink crop shirt featuring a dark-pink heart design, a magenta skirt, navy blue leggings and the same sneakers as before. In the movie, she wears a hot-pink top beneath a lilac buttoned cardigan with the top two same-colored and light pink layers worn with black knee-socks and also the same sneakers.

Appearance (As Cure Melody)

As Cure Melody, her eyes brighten while her hair grows longer and turns light pink, worn in a pair of curled twin-tails held with small braids. She wears a white headband with a magenta rabbit-ear bow and heart, a ribbon choker, and heart earrings with a pale pink heart hanging from the bottom. Her two-piece outfit consists of a pink and white ruffled top with a magenta vest worn over it, the Cure Module positioned above a knotted bow. Her frilly tutu consists of many white layers, followed by those of pink and magenta, with a pale pink ribbon on the corner. She also gains magenta stockings with white detail, magenta shoes with white cuff and a pale pink ribbon adorned by a heart, and frilly wrist pieces with a magenta ribbon.

Personality

Hibiki is a bright, albeit somewhat klutzy girl who carries a strong sense of justice. She's very bold and outgoing, though she has a tendency for hot-bloodedness that often manifests as a dislike of losing. She has a distaste for underhanded tactics, believing hard work and effort must be put into things to get them right. Though usually happy-go-lucky and energetic, when angered or faced with a tough situation, Hibiki has a tendency to become more subdued and serious. She loves to eat sweets, especially the cakes from Kanade's family shop or those made by Kanade's school group. Although she is outstanding at sports, she loves too many to settle on a single club, preferring to provide aid to any team that needs her help instead. However, she is not very good at her studies or cooking. With a music teacher father and violinist mother, Hibiki has an uninhibited personality much like her parents. Despite both her parents being musically-inclined, Hibiki initially thought that she had no musical talent at all, but she works hard at perfecting her piano playing. Over the series, her love of music is rekindled and she decides to pursue her original aspirations of becoming a pianist. She succumbs easily to loneliness, and enemies have successfully used her naive and unpretentious nature against her. However, this single-mindedness has also allowed her great influence in bringing Ellen and Ako over to the Pretty Cure's side. As an only child, she is envious of Kanade, who has a little brother, and enthusiastically welcomes Ako into her circle of friends even before knowing that she is Cure Muse.
