Minene Hatsu

Minene Hatsu (峰音 はつ) is the main protogonist and the leader of Stellar! Pretty Cure☆. Hatsu is a distant and quiet 14 year old girl who won in some ballet competitions, being brilliant at it and even won in several eating contests, due to her extreme appetite and love for food. At first, she wasn't keen about having any friends and didn't know how to be happy with them, however gradually changes her mind after becoming Pretty Cure. She may be snobbish and ambitious, but is actually a very polite person with a shy nature on the inside. Her alter ego is Cure Capricorn (キュアカプリコーン Kyua Kapurikōn?)

Appearance
Hatsu has brown eyes and dark purple hair with a long ahoge that hangs down. She usually ties up her hair in a ponytail with a white ribbon, but, when let down, it is shown to reach just past her shoulders. Her casual outfit consists of a white shirt with some frills on her chest and on the long sleeves, black dress with a V-shaped neckline, grey stockings and black shoes.

Etymology
Minene (峰音 ? ): Mine (峰) translates to "peak", which probably refers to Hatsu's sense of purpose, while ne (音) translates to "sound".

Hatsu (はつ ? ) : Translates to "first", which refers to her being the first child of her family and the first Cure of the group. Also, January is the first month of the year.

Together it means "peak sound of the first", but can also be interpreted as "first peak sound".
