Suite Pretty Cure/Characters

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


This is the character sheet for Suite Pretty Cure.


Pretty Cure

The Original Duo (Melody & Rhythm)

Hibiki Houjou (Cure Melody)

Voiced by: Ami Koshimizu

An energetic jock who loves eating sweets and playing sports. She tends to be bullheaded and act before she thinks, but her heart is generally in the right place. As the series progresses, she rediscovers her love of the piano.

Kanade Minamino (Cure Rhythm)

Voiced by: Fumiko Orikasa

An intelligent and cool-headed patissier who works at her family's pastery shop. She becomes incredibly flustered and dreamy when romance is involved, and is short-tempered when dealing with Hibiki.


The Second Duo (Spoilers)

Siren/Ellen Kurokawa (Cure Beat)

Voiced by: Megumi Toyoguchi

Siren, post-Heel Face Turn. Free from her jealousy and the influence of the Noise of Evil, her true personality shines through as a headstrong yet socially-awkward girl whose only wish is to make friends. Her ability to shapeshift has been lost, trapping her in human form under the alias of "Ellen Kurokawa". She loves to read books on how to act in certain situations, being unfamiliar with human social conventions.

  • Adorkable
  • Ahoge: As Cure Beat. She can play a power chord on it.
  • Anti-Hero: Type I, at first.
  • The Atoner
  • Badass Boast: "The beat of my heart can't be stopped!"
  • Barrier Warrior: The only member of Team Suite to have Deflector Shields or defensive magic of any sort.
  • Berserk Button: Post-Heel Face Turn, she is one; harm her in front of Hibiki and/or Kanade, and your life is forfeit.
  • Dark Magical Girl: Starts this way, but becomes progressively less dark as she becomes more accustomed to having friends.
  • Deflector Shields: Beat Barrier
  • Eyes of Gold
  • Face Heel Revolving Door: She switches to the side of Minor Land before the story begins. Her first Heel Face Turn is denied after Mephisto steps in and re-brainwashes her. But later she gets a true Heel Face Turn as Cure Beat.
  • Genre Savvy: Has a surprising amount of genre-vision for someone so clueless about how the world works.
  • Good Costume Switch
  • Hair Decorations: Prior to her Heel Face Turn, her human form was distinguished by a clef-shaped hair pin. Since becoming Cure Beat, she's apparently replaced it with a yellow scrunchy.
  • I Have Many Names: She's Siren in her cat form, Ellen in her human form. Yet even after she permanently becomes human, Hummy, Trio the Minor, and Mephisto still call her Siren (and she doesn't seem to mind).
  • Instrument of Murder: The Love Guitar Rod, which not only has a trigger (which was probably pulled straight off of Raising Heart) for shooting Tone Rings but is also distinctly shaped like a battle-axe in its transformed state.
  • It Amused Me: Her reaction to the Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure in episode 25. Ellen immediately sees through Trio the Minor's attempts to make the situation worse and plays along with them just for the hell of it.
  • Leotard of Power: It's assumed that she's wearing one, as with Kanade/Cure Rhythm, but really, have the laws of physics ever been obeyed in-series?
  • Musical Assassin: Where Rhythm and Melody get magic rods that they wave around like conductor's batons, Beat gets the Love Guitar Rod, a magical axe that turns into an ax and shoots exploding Tone Rings of death and destruction.
  • Naive Newcomer: Since adjusting to living life as a human, she's been rather impressionable and clueless about everyday life. Examples include believing she needs to prepare for a mountain expedition to go hiking, and how she intends to introduce herself once she starts attending school...
  • Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure: In episode 25, after Hibiki and Kanade's prank scares the shit out of her. It appears to get worse when Trio the Minor use the same prank to further deepen the already-healing rift between her and her two friends. It turns out Ellen knew what was going on and played along in order to troll the Trio.
  • Redemption Equals Death: Surprisingly averted. The real price of Siren's change of heart is being put in a Shapeshifter Mode Lock.
  • Shapeshifter Mode Lock: She lost the ability to shapeshift after her pendant broke, trapping her in human form.
  • Spell My Name with an "S": Seiren is Greek for "siren" and is the standard term for that creature in Japan, but since many English-speaking fans only know the word "siren" her name is usually rendered as "Siren" by the English fanbase.
    • Almost everyone assumed that her human alter-ego's name was "Ellen", but all official sources (including merchandise and the show itself) romanise her name as "Eren", which is a normal Japanese name, but the katakana spelling made it plausible that "Ellen" was the intended spelling. Never the less, "Ellen" is too well-established amongst the English fanbase for it to change.
  • You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Has indigo hair as Ellen.
  • Zettai Ryouiki: Featured in her first outfit as Ellen, which she retains after her Good Costume Switch. She also has this in Cure form, albeit with thigh-high boots rather than stockings.

Ako Shirabe (Cure Muse)

Voiced by: Rumi Oukubo

The princess of Major Land, after revealing herself as the masked Cure Muse. By far the most serious and pragmatic of the four Pretty Cures, her outward determination hides her emotional fragility in the face of the threat against her family. She can be incredibly blunt when criticising others.


Cure Muse

Cure Muse

Voiced by: Mayu Kudou (as Dodory)

A mysterious masked warrior. She shows up on occasion to aid the Pretty Cure in protecting the innocent, but claims neutrality in the battle between them and Minor Land. She does not speak, instead allowing her Fairy Tone Dodory to speak on her behalf. She is later revealed to be Ako Shirabe, having taken up the disguise because she could not bear to fight her father- the Brainwashed and Crazy Mephisto- directly.


Allies

Hummy

Voiced by: Kotono Mitsuishi

A Songstress of Major Land. Hummy is sincere, simple-minded, and relentlessly optimistic.

Aphrodite

Voiced by: Noriko Hidaka

The Queen of Major Land. Wife of Mephisto, mother of Ako, and daughter of Otokichi.

Fairy Tones

Voiced by: Mayu Kudou

The Precures' partners and the key to their transformation. Dori, Reri, and Lary are used for transformation into Cure Melody, Rhythm, and Beat respectively, while Miri, Fary, and Solry are used along with them for special attacks. Tiry serves as leader, and Dodori, the previously missing Fairy Tone, serves as the "voice" of Cure Muse.

Crescendo Tone

Voiced by: Kumiko Nishihara

The Fairy of Sound who gave birth to all the sounds in this world. The other Fairy Tones were born from her. She usually resides inside the Healing Chest that was found in the dark forest.

Otokichi Shirabe

Voiced by: Keiichi Sonobe

The mysterious tuner of Kanon Town, who is working on a large organ. The previous King of Major Land, father of Aphrodite, and grandfather of Ako. Long ago fought and sealed away Noise.


Minor Land

Mephisto

Mephisto

Voiced by: Kenyuu Horiuchi

The King of Minor Land, a dark opposite to Major Land. His goal is to create the Melody of Sorrow, which would plunge the world into an endless despair. He is actually the missing king of Major Land, who was brainwashed by the evil power of Noise. He is later cured by the Pretty Cures and returns to Major Land.


Siren

Siren

Voiced by: Megumi Toyoguchi

Mephisto's second-in-command. A former Songstress of Major Land, she defected to Minor Land after Hummy was chosen over her to sing the Melody of Happiness. She is incredibly vain and prissy, and possesses the ability to shapeshift at will, often taking the form of a human girl called "Ellen". She later pulls a Heel Face Turn and becomes Cure Beat, who is covered in the Pretty Cure section.


Trio The Minor

Bassdrum

Voiced by: Atsushi Ono

Falsetto

Voiced by: Tooru Nara

  • Adult Child: Acts the most outright childish of the Trio.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: Was once one of the heroic "Three Musketeers of Major Land" before being corrupted by the Noise of Evil. That said, he's far more monstrous once he shows his true colors.
  • Butt Monkey: Before her Heel Face Turn, Siren would take her frustrations out on Falsetto by clawing out his hair.
    • The Dog Bites Back: Starts beating up Ellen, the other Cures, AND the rest of the Trio with shocking regularity.
  • Cute but Cacophonic: Well, he's not exactly cute, but he's fairly mundane compared to Bassdrum and Baritone... and his voice is the most high pitched and shrill out of the entire trio.
  • Malevolent Masked Men: Gets a mask that is basically half a bird's black skull after his true form is revealed.
  • The Mole: Among the bad guys, to Noise, the series' actual Big Bad.
  • Not So Harmless: The most dimwitted and overall nicest member of Trio de Minor was in fact the Dragon to Noise, the series Big Bad.
  • Quirky Miniboss Squad
  • Rose Haired Man
  • Super Senses: After the Trio gets their power up, Falsetto gets the ability to hear Notes from great distances.
  • Vile Villain Saccharine Show: Once Falsetto takes over the bad guys, he means business. Not only is he more effective than Mephisto ever was, but he does things like order Bassdrum and Baritone to kill Aphrodite when they are holding her hostage. That's not to mention how he repeatedly abuses them, and though that's often played for laughs, the final time[3] most certainly isn't.
  • Whip It Good: Gains the ability to create a purple energy whip from his palm.
    • Then he wields a real one in the form of a cat-o-nine-tails later on.

Baritone

Voiced by: Youhei Oobayashi


Other

Noise

Voiced by: Ryusei Nakao

  • And Then What?: Subverted. Noise is fully aware that his "utopia" will cause him to disappear, and is quite fine with that. See "Death Seeker" below.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: Of humanity's sorrow.
  • Big Bad: The one pulling all the strings.
  • Bishonen Line: Goes from a tiny bird to a gigantic bird monster to a birdlike humanoid.
  • Chekhov's Gunman: That skeletal bird thing that's seen when Negatones transform? That's the first hint of Noise's existence.
  • Death Seeker: The utopia he seeks to create will ultimately lead to him disappearing as well, allowing him to finally escape his own sorrow.
  • Eldritch Abomination
  • Emotion Eater: Feeds off of sadness to grow even more powerful. That's because he is sadness.
  • Evil Laugh
  • Feathered Fiend
  • Go Out with a Smile
  • The Man Behind the Man
  • The Mole: Posed as "Pii-chan" to get close to the Precure so he could steal the notes they collected.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: In episode 39, "Pii-chan's" eyes glow red as his connection to Noise is revealed.
  • Sad Clown: Not really a clown, per se, but it's revealed that Noise, the so-called over the top villain and source of sorrow and despair, is actually quite sorrowful himself, and believes he's creating a utopia by removing music, and thus the feeling it creates, from the world.
  • Sealed Evil in a Can
  • Sleep Mode Size: The form of a tiny bird named Pii-chan, who tried to get close to Ako by pretending to be hurt.
  • Utopia Justifies the Means: Believes that removing sound and feeling from the world will create a utopia.
