Poppy Koizumi

Poppy Koizumi (小泉ポピー Koizumi Popī) is a minor character in Pretty Cure Nightmare Fantasy. Her alter ego is Cure Desire and her theme color is red. She represents the ruby.

Backstory
Dawn is a cool, popular Pretty Cure. She is part of the Corundum Pretty Cure!, which consists of her, who is a ruby, Sophia Mendel, who is a sapphire, a kyanite Cure, an iolite Cure, and a rutile Cure. She and Sophia tried to get Mio Tsukuda on her team, because she is "way too cool for the nightmares" (In reality, it's because Mio represents the diamond, which is also a corundum), but they failed. Mio reminds them of the time that they tried to get another girl (who represented a padparadscha, another corundum) on their team the exact same way as they tried with her, and failed. Mio suggests the two not to be so pushy, so they aren't anymore.

Poppy once saved the life of Roger Russo in PCNF33. She says that it was an "accident", and she was trying to save Sophia. However, Sophia wasn't saved and she was fine after the episode 33 battle.

Personality
Poppy is nice, but her ego usually gets the best of her. She is also kinda clingy, kinda pushy, and she didn't want to admit it, but that stopped after a while.
