Ayanat Mergen

Ayanat Mergen (アヤナト·メロゲノ) is one of the main characters in Diverse Connections Pretty Cure!. She is a 16 year old quirky, intelligent positive-thinker and a lead guitarist/vocalist of the garage rock band "Eyelight" which she started herself.

Her motivating catchphrase is "The possibilities are limitless!" (可能性は無限でぜ！), her teasing catchphrase is "Does it pressure you?" (お前が圧下ではありまぜ？) and her angry catchphrase is "Use those 10% of your brain already!" (既に脳の10％を使して！) or just "You..." (お前), said with a purple fire behind her back.

Her alter ego is Cure Nova (キュアノヴァ).

Appearance
Being 5'4", Ayanat's height is slightly shorter than what is considered average for a 16 year old girl of her origin. She, however, weighs a little bit more than her height's norm. Ayanat has brown eyes and middle-length roughly cut black hair reaching to her mid-back and keeps some of it in twintails reaching to her shoulders. She has long slick bangs.

Personality
Ayanat can be compared to a more charismatic and cool geek, while still possesing some traits that make her socially-awkward; such as being quirky or using way too much terminology and abstruse theories for a normal person. Intelligent, recourseful and polymathic, she, however, tends to think of others either as idiots or "guinea pigs", it varies. Although she can be rude and mean, her optimism, friendliness and out-going, flexible attitude are those things people are pleased with. And yet, nothing could cover her annoyance towards human stupidy.

Ayanat enjoys listening to rock music (mainly punk rock and pop-punk), recognizing that it has a high influence on her life and makes her persevere with her progress which is why she started playing guitar and singing. She wants her music to save the world.

Besides, she is shown to have a sick interest in astronomy, as she hopes to discover a new nebula. Ayanat is also in constant search for her "lucky star", which no one really knows much about, but it seems to deal with something romantic, as she gets embarassed when speaking of it.

Ayanat likes to crack jokes and usually tends to use witty, black or just bad humour. Some of her jokes, however, fail at times when they seem too way-out.

She refers to herself by genderless pronoun "jibun", a rather rare way to say "I". When talking to adults, she uses polite language, but around friends, peers and those who are younger/slightly older than her, Ayanat uses "omae", a cool and somewhat rude way to say "you", and ends some of her sentences with the masculine "~ze". She is also fond of giving funny nicknames.

Cure Nova
"Wish upon a revolution! Cure Nova!" "革命に願いを！キュアノヴァ！" "Kakumei ni negaiwo! Kyua Novu~a!" Cure Nova (キュアノヴァ) is Ayanat's Pretty Cure alter ego. She represents Revolution, Esprit and Progress, holding the power of starlight.
