Movie
Description
Kotozume Yukari attends Ichigo Field High School as a second-year student, known for her refined manner and perceptive mind. Her personality shows fickle, self-centered traits, often expressing a cat-like aloofness and a distinct enjoyment in teasing others to provoke reactions. This behavior originates from her childhood, where she constantly sought passionate pursuits yet felt confined by others viewing her as "perfect," leading to loneliness. She acknowledges an inner darkness and sadness but resolves to live authentically regardless.
She transforms into Cure Macaron, the Pretty Cure of beauty and excitement, embodying macaron and feline motifs. Her transformation phrase is "Cure La Mode・Decoration!" followed by "With Beauty and Excitement! Let's・La・Mix It All Up! Cure Macaron! Is Ready To Serve!" As Cure Macaron, her appearance changes: her hair lengthens and darkens, she wears a purple macaron-shaped hat with cat ears, a layered skirt resembling a macaron, a tail, purple knee boots with paw-like toes, and white opera gloves. Her agility and reflexes enhance significantly, enabling cat-like movements, and she can extend her nails into claws for combat.
Her attacks involve generating explosive purple bubbles, slashing with energy claws, and deploying macaron-shaped yo-yos or nets to ensnare enemies. She performs solo purifications such as "KiraKira☆Kirarun Kirakiraru!" which creates magical batter exploding into light, and "Macaron Julienne!" launching a spiked bolas. Collaborative attacks utilize the Candy Rod or Animal Sweets, like "Three・2・Wonderful!" creating a layered cake explosion with other Cures, and "Pretty Cure Animal Go Round!" riding crystal animals in a carousel. Enhanced forms like "Style Memoire" or "A La Mode Style" grant wings or a ballgown-like dress, unlocking group techniques like "Pretty Cure Fantastic Animale!".
Her development focuses on overcoming isolation through friendships. Meeting Usami Ichika makes daily life feel more unpredictable and engaging, particularly through baking macarons—a skill she initially struggles with but diligently improves. Her bond with Kenjou Akira evolves from clashing personalities into deep mutual respect and romantic undertones, reflected in their duets. She shares a unique connection with her grandmother, Kotozume Shino, who taught her etiquette, and demonstrates an affinity for animals, notably taming the elusive Three-star Kitty.
A pivotal moment occurs when she confronts her childhood self in antagonist Elisio's mirror dimension, rejecting despair by affirming her colorful world with friends gives life meaning. This acceptance solidifies her resilience, later demonstrated when she outmaneuvers antagonist Julio/Rio by feigning vulnerability to expose his identity, criticizing his reliance on external validation.
In *Pretty Cure Miracle Universe*, she appears with the KiraKira☆Pretty Cure A La Mode team alongside Cure Whip, Cure Custard, Cure Gelato, Cure Chocolat, and Cure Parfait. The team joins Star Twinkle PreCure and Hug! Pretty Cure to combat a universal threat. Cure Macaron participates in the combined attack "Pretty Cure Miracle Universe Twinkle," harnessing multiple Pretty Cure teams' power to purify antagonist Yango.
Her surname "Kotozume" combines "koto" (harp) and "zume" (claw), referencing cats, while "Yukari" means "affinity" or "violet," aligning with her color scheme. "Cure Macaron" derives from the French dessert. By age 23 in her series epilogue, she has shorter bobbed hair and works professionally.
