Movie
Description
**Laura Apollodoros Hyginus La Mer** hails from the Grand Ocean mermaid kingdom. Her ambition to become the next queen drives her initial mission: to find the legendary Pretty Cure warriors and save her home from the Witch of Delays. Self-confident and outspoken, Laura frequently voices her thoughts directly and finds keeping secrets challenging. Her background includes a forgotten childhood encounter with Natsuumi Manatsu on Minamino Island, where they promised to meet again before Laura's memories were erased.
Arriving in the human world, Laura initially sees Manatsu as a tool to achieve her goal. However, after Manatsu saves her, Laura develops genuine friendship. Their bond deepens through conflicts, like arguments over school attendance, fostering mutual understanding. Laura eventually transforms into **Cure La Mer**, representing the ocean with her theme color blue. Her charm point is her nails, and she introduces herself with the catchphrase "Shimmering ocean! Cure La Mer!". She retrieves stolen Motivation Power using the Mermaid Aqua Pot.
In the film *The Snow Princess and the Miraculous Ring!*, Laura travels to the Snow Kingdom of Shantia. She quickly bonds with Princess Sharon over their shared royal aspirations and love for singing. Sharon gifts Laura the Snow Heart Kuru Ring as a symbol of their promise to spread Shantia's song. When Sharon reveals Shantia's destruction 13,000 years prior and attempts to resurrect it by freezing the kingdom, Laura confronts her. Despite Sharon's betrayal, Laura protects her from attacks by the HeartCatch Pretty Cure team.
Laura's resolve strengthens when Sharon creates a powerful snow monster. Combining the Snow Heart Kuru Ring's power with the HeartCatch team's energy, Laura and the Tropical-Rouge! team unlock the **Snow Crystal Tropical Style** transformation. This form features a gold-tinted hairstyle, a tiara with a blue heart, lighter-colored attire with extended mermaid-tail elements, and butterfly-like ribbons. They purify Sharon using the "Heart Shining Orchestra" attack. In Sharon's final moments, Laura sings Shantia's song to comfort her, fulfilling their promise. Laura later publicly performs the song in the human world to honor Sharon and preserve Shantia's legacy.
Her relationships include acting as caretaker for the fairy Kururun and respecting the Mermaid Queen as a maternal figure. She navigates initial friction with other Cures like Asuka Takizawa before building mutual appreciation. The film highlights her capacity for empathy and leadership through her interactions with Sharon, contrasting her typically assertive nature with vulnerability.
Laura's design features distinct elements: as a mermaid, she has a pink ribbon-adorned tail and cyan fins; in human form, she wears pearl-accented clothing resembling oceanic themes; as Cure La Mer, she sports sky-blue hair with pink ombré, pearl hair accessories, and a mermaid-tail-inspired train. Her Snow Crystal Tropical Style adds rainbow heart-shaped wings and golden accents.
