Aoi Tategami, alias Cure Gelato, is a bold, free-spirited second-year middle school student with a fiery passion for rock music. Raised in the strict Tategami household under the watch of butler Mizushima Mitsuyoshi, she rebelled against familial constraints by busking publicly, catching the attention of Sonobe Kei. This led to her recruitment as vocalist for the rock band Wild Azur.

As Cure Gelato, she channels themes of liberation and zeal, merging ice cream motifs with leonine flair. Her transformation via the Sweets Pact occurred during a Battle of the Bands competition when she shielded ice cream from a Kirakiraru Thief. Her combat style blends frost-based techniques and a lion’s roar, mirroring her "hard and chewy" demeanor and raw physical power.

Her relationships trace her maturation: she draws inspiration from singer Ayane Misaki’s pivotal concert and forges strong ties with fellow Cures Ichika Usami and Himari Arisugawa despite clashing temperaments. Initially contentious, her bond with Mitsuyoshi shifts to mutual understanding as he embraces her dual identity as rockstar and patisserie apprentice.

Key trials include tempering competitive arrogance, embracing vulnerability after failure, and breaking free from antagonist Elisio’s brainwashing as Dark Gelato. These ordeals cement her resilience and dedication to authenticity. In *Pretty Cure Super Stars!*, she joins cross-team efforts to quell a monstrous threat, participating in collective heroism.

Her evolving design features a golden lion-inspired mane, ice cream palette outfits, and playful asymmetry like mismatched socks. Enhanced forms—Super Cure Gelato and A La Mode Style—add layered textures, fluffier accents, and symbolic winged accessories, reflecting her expanding prowess.

Aoi’s arc centers on harmonizing self-acceptance with duty, ultimately mastering her roles as musician, pastry apprentice, and scholar, shattering expectations of her vibrant persona.
