Sakura has short pink hair hanging just above her shoulders, purple-coloured eyes and red rose clip in her hair. Her casual outfit consists of a white jacket over a light pink t-shirt, a (very) light pink lace skirt that reaches just below her knees and pink heels with a strap around the ankles.

As Cure Flora, her hair becomes much longer, turns a lighter pink and wavier with her hair gaining a blonde ombre at the ends. A puffy bun appears and is held by a gold tiara that has a pink flower brooch in the middle. She wears a flower choker around her neck with a light pink bow tying it together at the back and has pink flower earrings. Her dress is pink with light pink and white accents, a light pink ribbon with a gold brooch in the middle on her waist with white frills on her skirt. On her chest is a light pink bow with a pink flower brooch in the middle. She has white gloves with a pink flower on her wrists and white ankle length boots with a light pink bow and flower brooch on them.

When she changes into her Mode Elegant form, her skirt lengthens to the floor with pink, purple and white layers and big light pink bows with pink flower brooches in the middle tying the pink layer into three sections.

Cure Flora
Cure Flora (キュアフローア Kyua Furōra) is the Pretty Cure alter ego of Sakura. She controls the power of flowers and transforms with the phrase, "Pretty Cure, Princess Engage!". Her main attack is Flower Spiral, which she can only perform while in her Mode Elegant.

Attacks

 * Flower Spiral (フラワースパイラル Furawā Supairaru) is Cure Flora's main attack, which can only be used when she is in her Mode Elegant. It is unknown when it first appeared.

Etymology
Hanayama (花山): Hana (ハナ) means "flower" while Yama (山) means "mountain".

Sakura (さくら): Sakura is both a Japanese word and name that means "cherry blossom".

Therefore, Hanayama Sakura means "flower mountain cherry blossom". This name could be a pun because Sakura controls the power of flowers, and one of her Dress Up Keys is called the Sakura Key, or in English, the Cherry Blossom Key.

Cure Flora means the goddess of plants and flowers. Also Flora in botany means the world of plants.

Sakura's voice actress, Tamura Yukari, has participated in several image songs for the character she voices. Many of them include duets with Hayashibara Megumi, who voices Mizuno Shinju, Sakamoto Maaya, who voices Hoshimura Star, and Horie Yui, who voices Himura Setsuko.
