Miki Aono, known as Cure Berry, is a disciplined 14-year-old second-year student at Private Torigoe Academy. In her civilian life, she sports long dark violet wavy hair accented by a white headband, sharp indigo eyes, and a tall stature often draped in a pale cream scarf. When transformed into Cure Berry, her hair shifts to a lavender curled ponytail adorned with blue heart-shaped ornaments, while her combat attire features a pale blue cropped top, a ruffled mini-skirt, and midnight blue knee-high boots—emblems of her identity as the Pretty Cure of Hope. Confident and mature, Miki frequently declares "I'm perfect!" to affirm her meticulously crafted self-image, a defense mechanism forged by her fractured family history. After her parents’ divorce, she remained with her mother while her younger brother Kazuki moved in with their father. This separation fueled her relentless pursuit of flawlessness, driven by fear of uncontrollable circumstances and a tendency to shoulder blame for familial discord. Beneath her poised demeanor lies vulnerability: a childhood trauma-induced phobia of octopuses and private despair when faced with failure. Her destiny as Cure Berry ignites when defending Kazuki from a Nakewameke attack, awakening her powers through the fairy Burun. Wielding the Berry Sword—a weapon earned by bonding with Chiffon, an infant fairy from the Sweets Kingdom—she unleashes signature attacks like "Espoir Shower" and "Espoir Shower Fresh." Initially overwhelmed by caring for Chiffon, Miki’s composure shatters after losing her during a photoshoot, culminating in an emotional reunion that reshapes her view of responsibility as collaborative rather than solitary. Protective of Kazuki and sharing a playful rapport with her mother Remi, Miki balances childhood friendships with Love and Inori, offering steadfast support tempered by occasional sternness. Her initial wariness toward Setsuna, a former antagonist, gradually softens into trust, reflecting her expanding empathy and commitment to teamwork. A defining moment arises when her dream of modeling clashes with her duties as a Pretty Cure. Choosing to abandon a critical audition to aid her comrades in battle, she embraces the realization that hope thrives through collective resilience, not individual perfection. This evolution extends in *Fresh PreCure the Movie: The Kingdom of Toys has Lots of Secrets!?*, where she ascends to Rainbow Cure Berry—a golden-winged super form amplifying her abilities. Her journey culminates in tearfully clutching Chiffon after a crisis, symbolizing her acceptance that true hope blossoms not from unblemished achievement but from enduring imperfection with grace.
