Miki Aono, a 14-year-old second-year student at Private Torigoe Academy’s entertainment talent program, commands attention with sharp indigo eyes and long, dark violet hair cascading to her waist, frequently tied with a white headband in loose waves or a high ponytail. Her fashion-forward casual style pairs a sky-blue top layered over navy with denim shorts and knee-length boots. As Cure Berry, her hair transforms into a voluminous lavender ponytail adorned with blue heart-shaped charms, matching a cropped pale blue top, ruffled skirt, and knee-high boots. Her transformation call resonates with hope, declaring her identity as the Pretty Cure of Hope. Exuding polished confidence and perfectionism, Miki openly proclaims herself flawless yet tempers this with genuine warmth and loyalty. She navigates social spaces with poised grace, though mounting stress occasionally surfaces as curt remarks. Her closest bonds lie with childhood friends Momozono Love and Yamabuki Inori, whom she playfully teases while fiercely championing their endeavors. Initial skepticism toward former antagonist Higashi Setsuna softens into steadfast camaraderie as they unite as teammates. Family anchors her life: she prioritizes protecting her younger brother Kazuki and maintains a tight-knit relationship with her divorced mother, Aono Remi. Miki’s journey as Cure Berry ignites when Kazuki’s life is endangered during a crisis, forcing her first transformation to shield him. Later, torn between modeling ambitions and Cure duties, she nearly forfeits her role for an audition before choosing solidarity with her team—a pivotal moment showcasing her evolution in harmonizing personal dreams with shared purpose. This renewed dedication earns her the Berry Sword, a power enhancement granted through her deepened bond with the fairy Chiffon. In crossovers like *Pretty Cure All Stars New Stage: Mirai no Tomodachi*, Miki joins forces with Cure teams nationwide to confront the revived threat Fusion. Though the narrative centers on newcomer Ayumi Sakagami, Miki contributes to decisive battles against lingering enemies, underscoring her unwavering resolve. Across media, her actions consistently embody the perseverance and hope intrinsic to her Cure Berry identity.
