Description
Porun, also romanized as Pollun, is a fairy character from the anime series Pretty Cure, appearing in the original Futari wa Pretty Cure series and its sequel Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart. He is the Prince of the Garden of Light, a realm connected to the power of the Precure warriors, and he serves as one of the fairy allies who support the heroines throughout their battles.
In terms of background, Porun is sent to Earth after it is discovered that the Dark King, the primary enemy of the Garden of Light, has returned. The Queen of the Garden of Light gives a cryptic statement about his powers aiding the Precure, and he arrives carrying an important hidden responsibility. Before his journey, the Elder places the power of the Rainbow Stones into Porun without his knowledge, which grants him the ability to remain in his normal form on Earth and to communicate with inhabitants of the Garden of Light. During the battle against the Dark King, Porun falls into a deep slumber, and after awakening he meets Hikari Kujo, gaining a new form and becoming connected to her transformation.
Porun has a small, white appearance reminiscent of a tiny dog or mouse, with mint-green highlights, a furry neck, and an orb on his tail that resembles a computer mouse. His personality is notably childish and energetic. He tends to be selfish and demanding, often thinking of himself first, and he can be somewhat annoying to those around him, particularly to the fairy Mepple. He commonly ends his sentences with the phrase "popo." Despite these traits, Porun is sincerely devoted to helping the Precure and will willingly rush into dangerous situations to assist them. Over the course of the story, he gradually matures and learns to act with greater selflessness.
His central role in the story is to provide support to the Precure through the power of light. He grants the heroines the power of light, which enables them to obtain their Rainbow Bracelets, and he possesses special abilities tied to his position as the Prince of the Garden of Light. When communicating with members of the Garden of Light, he transforms into a device resembling a small computer, known as the Pretty Commune in the first series and the Touch Commune in Max Heart, allowing everyone to hear and participate in conversations with the Garden of Light. In Max Heart, he becomes the partner of Shiny Luminous, granting Hikari Kujo the ability to transform.
Porun's key relationships include his fellow fairies Mepple and Mipple, with whom he frequently interacts and often quarrels, particularly with Mepple. He lives predominantly with Nagisa Misumi during the first series and with Hikari Kujo in Max Heart, forming a close bond with Hikari as her fairy partner. He also has a younger sister named Lulun, who appears later in the story. In the second Max Heart theatrical film, he develops a friendship with a phoenix named Hinata, offering her companionship and support.
His development across the series is marked by a shift from an immature and self-centered fairy into a more dependable and caring ally. Though he begins as a creature focused on his own wants and easily frustrated, his experiences with the Precure and his growing responsibilities teach him the value of courage, friendship, and putting others before himself. His abilities, including the power of the Rainbow Stones, his transformation into a communication device, and his role as a source of light power for the Precure, make him an important figure in the fight against the forces of darkness.
