Movie
Description
Yukari Kotozume, known as Cure Macaron, is a second-year high school student initially displaying selfish tendencies and an aloof, cat-like demeanor. Her sharp purple eyes and long, wavy light purple hair complement a sophisticated fashion sense, often seen in lilac trench coats tied with lavender ribbons, purple tops, gray pencil skirts, and heeled boots, with styles changing seasonally.
Her Cure Macaron identity embodies beauty and excitement, featuring design motifs from macarons and cats. This includes a macaron-shaped hat with cat ears, a tail, raspberry earrings, a purple neck ribbon, and knee-length boots with paw details. Further evolutions are "Super Cure Macaron," distinguished by lighter colors and wings, and "A La Mode Style," showcasing a ballgown silhouette with layered fabrics and a fluffy hood. She transforms using the phrase "Cure La Mode・Decoration!".
Personality-wise, she exhibits a refined yet fickle nature, frequently teasing others to provoke reactions. Underneath, she is perceptive, enabling her to detect hidden threats like Rio's deceit early on. Her childhood involved relentless experimentation to find a passion, resulting in isolation due to being perceived as "perfect." This loneliness fueled a desire to create her own enjoyment rather than receive it. A pivotal development sees her confront her inner darkness and sadness, acknowledging friendships provide a "colourful world" to manage these emotions.
Key relationships include Ichika Usami, whose energetic personality intrigues her; Akira Kenjou, a classmate with whom she initially clashes but later forms a deep bond marked by mutual respect and romantic undertones; her grandmother Kotozume Shino, who taught her etiquette; Pekorin, whom she enjoys petting; and Three-star Kitty, an elusive cat that exclusively allows her affection.
Her story begins with a cameo in Episode 1 and a formal introduction in Episode 5. After multiple failed baking attempts, she defends macarons from a Kirakiraru thief, triggering her transformation into Cure Macaron using a cat-shaped Animal Sweet and Sweets Pact. Notable arcs include exposing Rio's manipulations in Episode 16 by fabricating a sister to test his intentions and overcoming childhood trauma in Episode 29. During the latter, she reconciles with her younger self in a mirror world, accepting her darkness as inseparable but manageable through connections.
In the crossover film *Pretty Cure Super Stars!*, she joins the Hug! Pretty Cure and Witchy PreCure! teams against Usobakka. After Usobakka petrifies transformation devices and kidnaps her and most teammates, they are rescued through time-travel intervention. She contributes to the group attack "Pretty Cure Clover Formation" to defeat Dark Onibi. Her future involves worldwide travel.
Her attacks include "Kirakira♪kiraru" (creating explosive bubbles or energy claws), "Kirakirakirarun♪Kirakiraru♪" (summoning macaron-like structures to ensnare foes), "Macaron Julienne" (using the Candy Rod), and group techniques like "Three・2・Wonderful A La Mode!". Etymologically, her surname "Kotozume" combines "harp" and "claw," while "Yukari" means "affinity" or "violet," aligning with her color scheme and motif.
