Attacks

 * Canelé Starlight (カネレスターライト)

Etymology
Kirahoshi (キラ星) means "glittering star" or "sparkling star" with キラ (kira) coming from the Japanese onomatopoeia "kirakira" which means "glittering/sparkling" and 星 (hoshi) meaning "star". This could be a reference to her power over stars.

Miel (ミエル) is French for "honey".

Therefore, her name means "sparkling/glittering star honey" or "honey of the sparkling/glittering star".

Cure Canelé means "a small French pastry flavored with rum and vanilla with a soft and tender custard center and a dark, thick caramelized crust. It takes the shape of small, striated cylinder up to five centimeters in height with a depression at the top".
