Tarte, a ferret-like fairy prince from the Sweets Kingdom, sports a light brown coat, a white stomach, and a distinctive indigo shawl. His speech carries a Kansai dialect, marked by playful endings like “~ya” and “~yade.” Originally tasked as caretaker to the infant Chiffon, he ventures to the human world seeking the Pretty Cures, masquerading as a pet within Love Momozono’s household. Anxious yet kindhearted, he oscillates between comedic overreactions—like dramatic tears during sentimental scenes—and earnest emotional depth, often recalling vital details at unexpected moments.
Betrothed to Azukina, a squirrel-like fairy from a neighboring realm, Tarte balances duty to their arranged political union with his protective mission for Chiffon. Their delayed marriage underscores his loyalty to both kingdom and charge. His bond with Chiffin blossoms into a nurturing familial role, where he tends to her needs with parental devotion, mixing milk bottles and offering comfort during her distress.
During the Land of Toys investigation, Tarte’s curiosity about human traditions—such as pajama parties—adds levity, while his accidental nap alongside Chiffon on a board-game rest space highlights his whimsical side. In conflicts, he bolsters the Pretty Cures by rallying civilian support, showcasing strategic thinking beneath his fretful exterior.
His relationships reflect growth: mending ties with Inori Yamabuki post-body-swap mishap, forging a playful sibling dynamic with Setsuna Higashi, and earning Kaoru’s camaraderie through a doughnut pact. Humorous antics, like covertly devouring Love and Setsuna’s ice cream (and suffering the consequences), contrast moments of valor, such as shielding Azukina from danger.
Post-adventures, Tarte weds Azukina, returning to the Sweets Kingdom with her and Chiffon while maintaining human-world visits. His full name, Tarte F. Funbolg Nicobunskiloni, alludes to a lengthy, obscured lineage. Notable trivia includes his doughnut passion—rewarded for entertaining patrons at Kaoru’s café—and his franchise milestone as the first fairy mascot depicted with visible sclera.
