Hikari Stella (光ステラ Hikari Sutera) is the leader of the Cures in Luminario Pretty Cure!. She is the best student in the class, but is extremely shy and only speaks when she is spoken to. She is elegant and calm, but if she is angered enough, she will snap and release her temper. She has a habit of saying How dare you waste my time! (どのようにあなたは私の時間を無駄にあえて！Dono yō ni anata wa watashi no jikan o muda ni aete!) when she is angry.

Her alter ego is Cure Cosmic (キュアコズミック Kyua Kozumikku), and her theme colour is pink. She controls the power of time.

Personality
Stella is a very kind girl and possesses a personality reminiscent to that of a lady's, often reflected in the way she stands, sits and speaks. She is, however, extremely shy, and doesn't like starting conversations or even joining one. She prefers staying in the shadows, and will only speak when she is spoken to. It also takes a lot to make her mad, and when she does get mad, many people say that it's best to "run and hide until you hear nothing at all".

She is known for her voice, which is a soft soprano voice. Many say that her voice is very beautiful, and she should join the school band as they are in need of a singer. However, Stella refuses to join for she cannot find the courage need, and has a severe case of stage fright.

In terms of academics, Stella is excellent at every subject, and gets the best grades in the class. She loves reading, and dreams of becoming an author one day, but doesn't like showing others her work due to her shyness. After meeting Yozora, Stella is learning to open up to others, but is still extremely shy.
