Description
Foop is a supporting character from the anime series Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash Star and appears in its film, Futari wa Precure Splash Star Tick Tack Kiki Ippatsu!. She is a small, spirit-like being who embodies the power of wind.
In terms of background, Foop originates from the Fountain of Sky, one of the mystical fountains in the Land of Fountains. She first appears alongside her counterpart, Moop, after the protagonists restore their fountain. Her name is derived from the Japanese word fuu, which means wind.
Foop has a timid and shy personality, especially when first encountering the main characters, Hyuuga Saki and Mishou Mai. She is often cautious and prefers to observe from a distance. Despite this initial wariness, she possesses a deep curiosity about the Land of Greenery, the world where the human protagonists live. This curiosity can lead her to be somewhat mischievous, as she and Moop occasionally wander off on their own, inadvertently causing minor problems for their friends. She ends her sentences with a distinctive verbal tic, saying pupu.
Her primary motivation is to protect the Land of Fountains and assist the Pretty Cures in their battles. After the destruction of her home fountain, she seeks to help restore balance and ensure the safety of both her world and the human world. She develops a strong sense of loyalty to the heroines who care for her.
In the story, Foop plays a crucial functional role alongside Moop. Together, they have the power to call forth upgrade accessories for the Pretty Cure, enabling Saki and Mai to transform into more powerful forms, specifically Cure Bright and Cure Windy. Foop specifically channels her wind abilities through Choppy, one of the main fairy mascots, allowing Mishou Mai to transform into Cure Windy. She and Moop also serve as power sources for these advanced forms. In the context of the film Tick Tack Kiki Ippatsu!, she participates alongside the other fairies to help the Cures in their mission to stop time from being frozen.
Foop has several key relationships that define her character. Her most constant companion is Moop, a spirit of the moon, and the two are almost always together, functioning as a pair. She shares a significant bond with the Kiryuu sisters, Michiru and Kaoru. Before the events of the series, the sisters saved Moop and Foop from a falling tree, creating a lasting connection. Foop seems to have a particularly close affinity with Kaoru, which is emphasized by the fact that Foop and Kaoru share the same voice actress.
In terms of development, Foop initially appears timid and reliant on Moop. As the series progresses, she gains confidence in her new environment and grows more comfortable with her human allies. By the end of the series, she has fully integrated into the group and comes to live in the Land of Greenery with the other fairies and the Kiryuu sisters.
Foop has several notable abilities. As a wind spirit, she can fly and is ethereal in nature, lacking legs and resembling a floating entity. Her primary ability is to empower the Pretty Cure, granting them the power of wind to perform advanced transformations and attacks. She is instrumental in the Spiral Ring Set upgrade, which allows for the powerful Spiral Heart Splash and Spiral Star Splash techniques.
