Lily, known as Kise Yayoi in the original Japanese, serves as a central figure in the series. She sports fluffy blonde hair, hazel eyes, and typically wears a headband adorned with orange gems. Her everyday outfit features a solidago gold dress layered over a pale yellow blouse, complemented by dark orange Mary Jane shoes and frilly white socks. She switches to lighter summer attire like denim shorts and sandals in warmer weather.
As the yellow-themed superhero Glitter Peace, she commands lightning. In this form, her hair brightens, lengthens, and styles into a fanned ponytail, topped by a white tiara with a yellow gem and wing motifs. Her superhero costume is a short yellow dress with gold and white detailing, puffy sleeves beneath a feathered layer, a light yellow bow secured by a gold brooch, yellow shorts, and white boots featuring gold accents. She accesses several enhanced forms:
* **Tiara Mode**: Equips a golden crown bearing a yellow star, enabling group attacks like Tiara Mode Torrent.
* **Princess Peace Mode**: Gains a ruffled pale yellow overdress, a halo, and wavier hair, unlocking attacks such as Rainbow Burst.
* **Ultra Power/Ultra Mode**: Radiates a yellow aura that amplifies physical and magical prowess for techniques like Sparkle Lightning Hurricane.
* **Royal Mode**: Acquires a feathery overcoat and wings, granting teleportation or flight, utilized for advanced group attacks like Royal Rainbow Burst.
Lily begins the series characterized by shyness and a tendency to cry. Early portrayals show her as a crybaby who kept mostly to herself, despite having a few friends. Her passion for art, specifically drawing comics and posters, becomes a key catalyst for her growth when peers recognize her talent, fostering newfound confidence. When facing danger to herself or others, she sheds her timidity, revealing fierce loyalty and courage. This evolution results in a more outgoing, bubbly personality, yet she retains her inherent empathy and sweetness. Her determination to protect friends or uphold ethical choices frequently overcomes her earlier insecurities.
Her relationships significantly shape her development. She forms a deep bond with Emily, relating to her experiences as a new student and consistently demonstrating concern for her well-being. Kelsey frequently teases Lily about her emotional nature, but they maintain a strong friendship and are often seen together. She shares a respectful connection with Chloe, who admires her artistic skills, though this relationship is less explored. Her backstory includes a noted closeness with her father during childhood, though other family specifics remain unelaborated.
Her journey as Glitter Peace ignites when she defends friends during a crisis, triggering her transformation via a beam of light. Key story arcs involve her initial struggles with self-doubt following a loss in a school poster competition, leading to a villain encounter and her emergence as a warrior. Notable moments include an April Fool's prank about transferring schools that caused unintended distress, resolved through teamwork and reconciliation. She participates in pivotal battles, such as collecting Cure Decors to revive the queen, confronting forces from the Bad End Kingdom, and contributing to group efforts against major antagonists like Pierrot.
Lily's abilities focus on lightning manipulation. Her signature attack, Sparkle Lightning, summons lightning through her fingers to create a yellow beam. Enhanced versions include Sparkle Lightning Hurricane, manifesting as a massive column of electricity, and combined techniques like Sparkle Lightning Blizzard with Glitter Breeze. She also participates in team attacks including Tiara Mode Torrent, Rainbow Burst, and Miracle Rainbow Burst, the latter requiring all six warriors in Ultra Mode. Her transformation sequence activates a Glitter Pact using a Glitter Charm; she employs a powder puff to summon armbands, boots, and her dress before declaring her catchphrase: "Puppies and kittens! The power of love! I'm Glitter Peace!"
Trivia notes recall her childhood enjoyment of bouncy ball games, her status as one of two warriors retaining their original Japanese Cure names (alongside Glitter Sunny), and her tendency to be startled by her own attacks.
