 * Aomizu Sapphire - One of Diamond's best friend. She and Sapphire were friends long before the series started. Sapphire is very protective and due to Diamond's calm personality, she usually sees it as her job to protect her. Sapphire also likes to call Diamond "Queen" because she is the smartest person she knows. However, Diamond hates being called "Queen".
 * Midorikusa Emerald - One of Diamond's best friend. Unlike how it has been for Emerald and Sapphire, Diamond didn't know the two from the very beginning. They first met when the three girls were only four. Emerald and Sapphire were playing with their favorite ball when it accidently landed in the Shirosora’s garden. So the two went to get the ball back and rang the doorbell. Sapphire wanted to play with Diamond then too and so they became friends.

Shirosora (白空) - Shirosora comes from Shiro (白) meaning "white" and Sora (空) meaning "sky". So Shirosora means "white sky", a obvious reference to her alter ego Cure Whitney.

Diamond (ダイヤモンド) - From the English word diamond for the clear colourless precious stone, the birthstone of April. It is derived from Late Latin diamas, from Latin adamas, which is of Greek origin meaning "invincible, untamed".

Cure Whitney - Her Cure alias is based on the given name and surname Whitney, which was originally derived from a place name meaning "white island" in Old English.

Nicknames
