Kokujin Hime

Kokujin Hime (こくじん ひめ Kokujin Hime) is one of the main antagonists in KiraKira☆Pretty Cure!. Hime is a new Kirakiraru Thief Trainer who is rather mischievous and scheming.

Appearance
Hime has big, nautical light blue eyes and long jade hair that widely flares out. Her bangs frame the upper portion of her face, and her forelocks are chest length with similar lining. Her outfit consists of a small magenta necklace, long sleeved sand top with frilly sleeve trim (a purple heart also decorates the middle of the top's front), a pale yellow skirt that flares out, dark purple shorts with frilly lining, thigh-high dark blue socks and red shoes with ankle straps. A black star red button also was on the shoe's strap before her job as a Kirakiraru Thief Trainer was over. After her purification, Hime wears a white sleeveless dress with a pink heart decoration and a small blue necklace.

When Hime powers up, her longer hair is now an extremely pale blue and worn in long pigtails that are held by crown-like objects. Her forelocks and bangs remain the same. Her eyes become orange with fire-like highlights. She also has a gold glowing halo above her head that has a crack in the middle. Her top's end becomes slightly torn and the heart on the top is decorated to look like a broken heart. Her sleeves also become more short, transparent and flaring out,

History
Prior to the beginning of the series, Hime was a normal little girl who was kidnapped for no reason. She was eventually killed when someone electrocuted her, causing heavy amounts of blood to spill out of her arms. Noir appears before her after sensing her death and grants her his power. He then takes some Kirakiraru and gives her eternal life before disappearing. This was revealed in her image song, "My Blood And Tears". She makes a brief appearance at the end of episode 1 after she witnesses her monster Creami being defeated by the Cures.

She makes her full apperance in the next episode, when she summons GumGum to collect more Kirakiraru. She fully appears in episode 3, where she summons PuddiPuddi to destroy Cure Whip. She attacks Cure Custard before she can save Aoi and she flees after the battle. Hime appears in multiple episodes to target the cures, but can get flustered around Cure Chocolat due to the latter sometimes flirting with the former. Eventually, Hime decides to go back to the place where she died, but she is discovered by Cure Macaron. Hime takes down Macaron, but she is summoned by Noir. Her status of Kirakiraru Thief is changed to warrior, which Hime accepts.

Hime and Bibury become friends, often teaming up to try to take Kirakiraru. Eventually, Hime powers up in episode 25 to defeat the cures. However, Hime is purified by Fantastic Animale. She moves to a city close to Ichigozaka. Hime makes a final cameo in the last episode, watching the cures in the sky and smiling.

Personality
Hime combines an serious aesthetic with a mischievous attitude. In her character-defining debut she speaks to Julio in a nervous tone, foreshadowing her small crush on him. In the same episode, she seems to order around her monsters using a very aristocratic yet demanding tone in her voice. She also is a big schemer, as shown when she spies on the cures using a device. Hime is capable of causing large damage, as shown when she defended herself from Cure Macaron.

Abilities
She is able to summon Kirakiraru Thieves from red orbs with black stars, using the incantation''' "I'm ordering you! Kirakiraru Thieves!" '(はっちゅう!キラキラルを奪う存在! Hacchū! Kirakiraru wo Ubau Sonzai!'') Hime is capable of firing beams from her finger and using her Kirakiraru Thief Orb to gather stolen Kirakiraru. Hime also has great agility and often uses it to jump to high places.
