Catherine Del

Catherine Del (キャサリン·デル) is 18 years old, the leader of Diverse Connections Pretty Cure!, and is one of the most difficult and stubborn people you will ever meet. Always the first to tell someone when they are wrong, and the last to admit it themselves. Despite her stubbornness, Catherine truly cares for all others around her, even her enemies, and cannot stand seeing anyone get hurt when it can be avoided. Her alter ego is Cure Chaos. Catherine's catchphrase before doing something is "Better than the mundane." (平凡よりも良いです.). When she is angry, her catchphrase is "Hope does not come to you!" (希望はあなたに来ない！).

Appearance
Standing at 5'8", Catherine tends to be the tallest person in all of her classes. Her build is thin while still appearing strong, and she has very fair skin. Catherine has long, straight, bright blonde hair that goes to her lower-back, and her bangs tend to be a bit messy with longer strands on each side to frame her face. She has dark, but bright, blue eyes. Catherine has a tattoo on her right hip.

Personality
Sarcastic, a bit cynical, and typically a loner. People often don't like Catherine because she is brutally honest and incredibly blunt. If she thinks you are being an idiot or are wrong about something, Catherine is the first to point it out, and she doesn't sugar coat anything. She doesn't have many friends, and that doesn't bother her. Catherine finds normal everyday life to be incredibly mundane and will usually ignore the world in favor of her music and art. She enjoys making her own music, mostly electronic and epic orchestral pieces (all digitally created) and drawing her one-shot mangas. She loves tasteless, offensive, and literal jokes, especially ones about religion. She is very eccentric and hates using the same methods as everyone else for solving problems, and she loves finding new ways to do things. She has a large collection of crystals and pretty rocks.

Due to her blunt nature and the way she styles herself, people are often intimidated by Catherine and believe her to be a scary person. Despite what people think of her, Catherine truly cares about the well-being of those around her, which is why she is so blunt with everyone. She hates it when people dance around a subject instead of getting to the main point with her, so she is always straightforward with others, even if it initially hurts their feelings.

In her free time, Catherine truly enjoys writing her mangas, which are typically action epics. Her goal is to write stories that make people question their views of the world around them and to inspire change.

Catherine rarely addresses others with honorifics, unless they have earned her respect (such as her teachers). She uses the more masculine "boku" to refer to herself.

Early Life
Catherine has had a special connection with chaos for as long as she can remember, and it all started one day in elementary school. One day while she was in the 3rd grade, the teacher was reading a book of Greek mythology to her class, and the teacher had just read "Pandora's Box". The teacher asked the class what they thought of the story, and everyone thought that Pandora should have never opened the box. Everyone except for Catherine, because without the chaos that had been released, there would be no "hope". After that story, Catherine started to look at everything a bit differently. Whenever she saw something bad happen, she would find a way to make it good. She and her twin sister, Elizabeth, were always happy and truly believed the world a beautiful place.

But then she grew up. After middle school, and even during it, more and more pressure was put on Catherine and her classmates to prepare for their futures, to get life skills, to get jobs, to become adults, and all the joy and beauty that the world had seemed to fade for her. All the little things she would make good were now mundane and commonplace. Nothing could make her excited because in the end, she would have to leave it to "grow up", and Elizabeth was growing up faster than Catherine could, and Catherine still had no motivation for what she was going to do with her life.

And then Catherine learned about Hamaki Rosa Academy. Catherine believed that if she could get into that school, that maybe she could learn what she wanted from life, and maybe even get excited about things again. Maybe going to a new place was just what she needed. After a great deal of work and studying, Catherine was accepted. She still finds everyday life in Hamaki to be mundane, but at least it was a new mundane, and then she discovered her true love of comics. Now while working to become a major mangaka, Catherine writes one-shot mangas to be published in a local monthly magazine.

Becoming Cure Chaos
Catherine had just finished a long day of classes and had decided to take a walk along the beach, hoping to find a nice three to sit under while she finished her next manga manuscript. It was quite a long walk, but she managed to find her perfect spot far away from Hamaki. Not long after starting her work, Catherine heard voices speaking to each other about "finding the lights" and "the unification project". She went to investigate, and she found two very strange looking figures talking near the cliffs, and Catherine watched them for a while she went completely unnoticed. After a while, Catherine decided to leave in order to tell the Hamaki police about these suspicious figures, but when she backed away she accidentally tripped over a rock and fell over the cliff side, which while it was a very short fall onto the beach, alerted the two figures to her presence. Catherine attempted to escape as the two figured pursued her, but she ended up running into a dead end by the cliffs. Even though she was cornered, Catherine chose to fight back, picking up several loose rocks and throwing them at her pursuers until she reached for another rock, only to find a purple compass. Her pursuers seemed shocked to see the compass and demanded Catherine to hand it over, but then a series of words came into her mind. Catherine had ideas other than handing that compass over..

"Lead the way! Pretty Cure, Direct Connection!"

Cure Chaos had now been born.

Cure Chaos
"An endless cycle of change, grabbing hold of fate! Cure Chaos!" "変化の無限のサイクル、運命のホールドをつかみます！キュアカオス！" "Henka no mugen no saikuru, unmei no hōrudo o tsukamimasu! Kyua Kaosu!" Cure Chaos (キュアカオス) is Catherine's Pretty Cure alter ego. She represents disorder, change, and darkness.

Appearance
As Cure Chaos, Catherine's eyes become a much brighter jewel-tone shade of blue. Her hair becomes dark purple and is pulled up in a pair of twin-tails, with the left one being about 50% longer.

Abilities
Energy Threads (エネルギースレッド)

As Cure Chaos, Catherine has the ability to create threads made of her own energy. These glowing purple threads can be used in a multitude of situations, allowing Cure Chaos to retrieve objects, restrain opponents, grab onto objects to avoid falling off a cliff, and even to stitch up serious wounds.

Weapons
Chaos Chain (カオスチェーン)

Cure Chaos's special weapon takes the form of a long chain with a glowing purple crystal on each end. The chain can extend to any length.

Relationships
Elizabeth Del

Elizabeth is Catherine's older twin sister who is still in Florida. Elizabeth and Catherine often speak via web-cam, and are very close. Elizabeth is working to get into physical therapy school. Even as identical twins, the two are very different. Catherine straightens her hair while Elizabeth keeps hers curly, and Elizabeth is about an inch taller.

Kimura Miyu

Catherine and Miyu actually get along quite well. When they first met, Catherine couldn't stand Miyu in the slightest, but after talking to her for a bit, Catherine came to care about her. Catherine is sometimes annoyed by how strongly Miyu desires to be perfect at everything and wishes she would relax a bit more.

Fortuna Bunker 

Catherine views Fortuna as her personal project, someone who she wants to help grow into the best version of themselves. Catherine often encourages Fortuna to stick up for herself more and to reach out to people.

Intan Satriaputri

Catherine really enjoys Intan's company, but only when Intan isn't putting up her "cold and mature" facade. When Catherine is stuck on a plot point for her mangas, she will often speak with Intan about her work to get ideas.

Ayanat Mergen 

Catherine and Ayanat have a somewhat strained relationship. Ayanat loves to challenge Catherine's authority, and Catherine is easily annoyed by Ayanat's antics. The two of them have very similar senses of humor, so they tend to understand each other. Despite the difficulties experienced with Ayanat, Catherine will always listen when Ayanat challenges her authority or questions a plan, and though she will never show it, Catherine does respect her opinions. Catherine teasingly calls Ayanat Chisai Gaki(小さいがき, little brat).

Edith Truman

Catherine tends to find herself easily overwhelmed when she is around Edith, whose natural enthusiasm and cheerfulness she finds near impossible to keep up with. Despite how tiring Catherine finds Edith's company, she finds Edith to be a good friend, if not annoyingly impulsive.

Roxanne Weiß

As a fellow artist, Catherine finds being around Roxanne to be quite relaxing, if not a bit quiet at times. Even though Catherine likes Roxanne, she wishes that Roxanne would be less shy, or at least not look so horrified by her offensive humor.

Alexis Bower

Alexis is Catherine's kohai. Catherine views Alexis almost as a little sister and is very protective of her, refusing to let any other person who could be "senpai" near Alexis.
