Aono Miki, alias Cure Berry, is a central figure in the Pretty Cure franchise, appearing throughout the All Stars films. This 14-year-old attends Private Torigoe Academy, a school for performers, where she excels athletically and flaunts a strong fashion sense. Her striking features include sharp indigo eyes and long, wavy violet hair typically secured by a headband; she stands notably taller than her Cure teammates. Miki resides with her mother, Remi, who runs an in-home hair salon, while her younger brother Kazuki lives with their father after their parents' divorce. She maintains a close bond with Kazuki, even recruiting him to pose as her boyfriend to deter admirers drawn by her appearance. Driven by aspirations of professional modeling, Miki cultivates perfectionism, often declaring "I'm perfect!" She projects confidence and elegance, yet reveals impatience and distress when facing unfamiliar challenges like childcare or socializing with less adept individuals. A notable fear stems from a childhood incident: a significant aversion to octopuses. Miki transforms into Cure Berry using her Pickrun companion, Burun, merged with her cellphone. Her first transformation occurs when she prioritizes protecting Kazuki during a Nakewameke attack. As Cure Berry, her lavender hair forms a large curled ponytail, her eyes shift to sapphire, and she dons a distinct outfit: a blue cropped top with ruffled sleeves, a layered skirt, thigh-high midnight blue stockings, and boots featuring light blue accents. Accessories include a heart-adorned headband and a choker. Representing hope with her blue theme color, Cure Berry specializes in kicking-based combat, wielding the Berry Sword for attacks like "Espoir Shower" and its enhanced form "Espoir Shower Fresh." Key development moments include sacrificing a modeling audition to aid her fellow Cures, solidifying her commitment to teamwork. Caring for the fairy infant Chiffon unlocks her Berry Sword; emotional vulnerability when Chiffon disappears strengthens their bond, enabling the weapon upgrade. She initially distrusts Setsuna (Eas) but later supports her transition to Cure Passion, experiencing temporary friction due to differing social skills. Within the All Stars films, Cure Berry achieves upgraded forms. As Cure Angel Berry, she gains paler hair, larger flowy sleeves, elongated skirt ribbons, and frost-like wings enabling flight and invisibility. In *Pretty Cure All Stars DX3: Deliver the Future! The Rainbow-Colored Flower That Connects the World*, she becomes Cure Rainbow Berry, sporting golden wings and joining the combined "Cure Rainbow" group to confront amalgamated foes like Lord Black Hole through collaborative attacks. Her relationships are anchored by enduring childhood friendships with Love Momozono (Cure Peach) and Inori Yamabuki (Cure Pine), whom she steadfastly supports despite occasional teasing. Etymologically, "Aono Miki" reflects her essence: "Ao" (blue) aligns with her theme color, while "Miki" combines "beauty" (美) and "hope" (希), directly referencing her title as the Cure of Hope.
