Relationships
Mizushima Chuya- Harumi's roommate and best friend. Chuya was a fan of Harumi before she retired, but treats her like a regular person. When Chuya first heard of the Pretty Cure she felt inspired by Cure Pearl, but sadly hated her due to Morgan (disguised as Cure Pearl) telling her Cure Pearl will only take skilled people (referring to her injury from when Chuya was a ballerina). After realizing Cure Pearl and Harumi was one in the same, she realized her wrong doing and became a Pretty Cure.
