Hikari Kujou, alias Shiny Luminous, is a youthful figure distinguished by her long blonde hair styled in a side braid and striking yellow eyes. Her everyday wardrobe pairs a pink shirt layered over a pale yellow top with jeans and pink-and-white shoes. In *Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart*, she dons a frilly pale yellow-and-red dress with pale pink gloves and ballerina-like shoes, while *Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart 2: Yukizora no Tomodachi* outfits her in a pale pink turtleneck, a purple "TAKO Cafe" apron, jeans, and pink-and-white sneakers. As Shiny Luminous, her transformed state features shaggy twin ponytails reaching her thighs, embellished with pink bows and red hearts. Golden heart-shaped earrings accompany a pink dress adorned with a glossy red heart at the chest, ruffled shawls, and a yellow ribbon holding the Touch Commune—home to Pollun—at the waist. Pale pink arm warmers, shoes, and leg warmers with red hearts and deep pink bows complete her ensemble. Hikari personifies the "life" fragment of the Queen, who split into three entities: the Heartiels (her will), Hikari (her life essence), and Queen Chairect (her heart). Stripped of her former abilities and memories, she lives as a reserved human student at Verone Academy alongside Nagisa Misumi and Honoka Yukishiro, while working at Akane Fujita’s mobile store. Shiny Luminous harnesses light-based powers, activating her transformation with "Luminous! Shining Stream!" Her signature "Shining Star" attack channels the Luminous Key through her Luminous Heart Baton. Gentle and courteous, Hikari’s innocence stems from her erased past. Her near-constant calm and reluctance to express anger occasionally unsettle others, yet her unwavering compassion prioritizes those around her. Born September 9—a nod to her surname "Kujou" (meaning "nine")—she falls under the Virgo zodiac. The oxalis flower, linked to joy and kindness in floriography, represents her in the *Pretty Cure All Stars Suite Flower Card Collection*. Unique among her peers, Hikari draws power from two exclusive mascots, Pollun and Lulun, and pioneered the braided hairstyle later embraced by Rikka Hishikawa. As Shiny Luminous, she commemorated the franchise’s 10th anniversary in *Happiness Charge Pretty Cure!* episode 21.
