Transformation
"Pretty Cure, Rainbow Paint Over" - Pretty Cure, Rainbow Paint Over is the official transformation speech used by Kiishi Topaz to transform into Cure Saffron in Sky Pretty Cure.

First, her Commune's screen changes from greyish blue to yellow. Then, Topaz appears in front of a lightning, as a silhouette. Then she gets the power from the lightning and her hair becomes longer. She she stretches her hand out to heaven and her arm warmers appear. Also, some parts of her body are covered by yellow glows. The glow around her legs disappears and her shoes appear. Her dress appears the same way. After this, her hair got tied into a ponytail again and her belt appears. At last, she puts her commune at her belt and does her Speech.

Etymology
Kiishi (黄石) - Ki (黄) means "yellow", reference to her alter ego as Cure Saffron and her theme color, which is yellow. Ishi (石) means stone. Both together mean yellow stone. Would fit to her given name, which is actually the name of the yellow stone "Topaz".

Topaz - From the English word for the yellow precious stone, the birthstone of November, ultimately derived from Greek topazos

Cure Saffron - Her Cure alias is based on the given name Saffron, which comes from the English word which refers either to a spice, the crocus flower from which it is harvested, or the yellow-orange colour of the spice. It is ultimately derived from Arabic za'faran. Her planed names; "Yellow" and "Topaz" were removed. Her given name became Topaz and her mascot got the name Yellow.
