Kyuseishu Aya

Kyuseishu Aya (休清酒あや) is one of the eight main characters of Prism Hearts Precure. Aya's alter-ego is Cure Light (キュアライト Kyua Raito) and she is known as the Shining Prism.

Appearance
As a civilian, Aya has light brown hair done in a bobcut and hazel eyes. Her casual outfit consists of a light pink designer top, short beige capre pants, and a light blue sports cap.

Personality
Aya is a cheerful girl who loves Precure and aspires to become a hero just like them. She has a habit of rushing into situations without thinking and never backs down from a challenge.

In episode 10, it's revealed that she was inspired by her sister Homura's kindness and willingness to help anyone in need. After her death, she adopted her late sister's mantra “It’s just begun!” (始まったばかり!  Hajimatta bakari!) as a way to keep her memory alive.

Relationships

 * Mizumi Sakura - Aya has known Sakura for most of her life in an almost sisterly bond.
 * EnEn - After their initial encounter, Aya decides to help EnEn with his timidness. They also begin to share knowledge of the Precure between each other.
 * Sakagami Ayumi - At first, Ayumi was against anyone else taking up the task of restoring the Prism Flower, but after some convincing from both Nagisa and Honoka, she accepts Aya and Sakura's help and later becomes the team's mentor figure
 * Kojo Jou - Aya was the first person to accept her as who she was despite her faults, and thus became one of her friends
 * Sukui Hikari - As a recent transfer, Hikari and Aya shared a friendly rivalry when it came to studies and later, they ended up becoming friends after the latter helped Aya in the decathlon while the former helped Hikari with a rather difficult test
 * Sanagi Maya - Due to Maya's past experiences, it took Aya some time to bond with her but eventually they forge a friendship alongside Ayumi and the others
 * Sakaba Mio - After discovering Mio was Cure Hunter, Aya dedicated herself to trying to save her from herself and Black Hole. Her efforts were eventually rewarded when after recovering from being turned into a Minikan herself, Mio took a blast meant for Aya, destroying her Hunter’s Blade but allowing her to awaken as a true Precure. After Mio regained her confidence and decided to join the fight Aya welcomed her with open arms.

Meeting EnEn and Gureru
One day while out with her best friend Sakura she happened to notice a set of cards on the ground displaying Cure Black, Cure White and two other Cures she never saw before. Before she could pick them up though, EnEn suddenly fell down from the sky and smacked her on the head. He grabbed up the cards before making a nervous apology and telling the girls to forget they saw him, taking off after that.

Aya decided to follow him and they ended up in an amusement park where Gureru admonished the fox for being followed. Before Aya could find out anything the sky suddenly turned dark and a strange purple orb appeared, landing on a roller coaster and turning it into a massive Zakenna. Aya leapt into action and tried to draw it away from Sakura and the fairies. A flash of light suddenly emitted from one of the cards and a strange bracer appeared on the arms of both Aya and Sakura, however it quickly vanished from the latter because she was too scared at the time to fight. Gureru tossed her a card and told Aya to swipe it.

Transforming into Cure Light, Aya put up a good fight against the monster but was backed into a corner. Suddenly a black bolt came out of nowhere, obliterating the creature on impact. A mysterious Black Cure appeared, telling Aya that if this is all a supposed “legendary warrior” is capable of then she should just quit while she was ahead.

The Cure left without a word and the two fairies introduced themselves and explained about the Prism Flower and Black Hole’s revival. Since they were currently separated from their partner they decided to temporarily stay with Aya and Sakura.

Fighting as Cure Light and the first Prism Change
During her second outing, she encountered the mystery Cure again who introduced herself as Cure Hunter. She explained that she was neither Aya’s enemy nor her friend and that she should hand over all the cards she had. Aya refused and Hunter attacked, suddenly transforming into Dark Precure and blowing her back. Sakura eventually joined the fight and the two were given the Cure Black and Cure White cards by Nagisa and Honoka. This allowed them to perform a Prism Change and manage to force Cure Hunter to retreat.

They were then told about the Miracle Petals, pieces of the shattered Prism Flower that made up the power of their predecessors and that only by collecting these Petals and the scattered Prism Cards could the Prism Flower be returned to normal.

Later they met up with the former Cure Echo who after some convincing agreed to allow them to help in her search. Aya would also go on to create a Precure Fan Club at her school and would soon gather more allies to her cause.

Losing and regaining the power to transform
During a battle later in the series with a monstrous Dark Precure Minikan, Aya was defeated and happened to land directly in front of him, dispelling her transformation and exposing her identity. This shocked Kotaro as he called it a betrayal of his trust, before storming off in disappointment and fear.

After that, her brother began treating her more coldly than before and it started to take a toll on Aya’s psyche. For the first time in her life she felt like giving up. That’s when she met Iona of the Happiness Charge who proposed a wager: If Aya can pass a test she’ll be given Iona’s Miracle Petal and even greater strength then before, if she fails then she must promise to never transform again and go back to being a normal girl.

Aya accepts and Iona explains the test: Aya must give her the Cure Fortune card and either defeat her as a normal human or survive for 2 hours without letting a single attack touch her. Aya accepts and to Iona’s surprise manages to successfully outwit her. Iona kept her promise and Aya returned to the fight and was able to defeat the Minikan with the help of her team and an assist from Mio.

Reconciling with Kotaro
Aya later made up with her brother and got him to accept her after protecting him from a Dark Matter monster. This also unlocked her Miracle Card as well as an incomplete version of the Prism Hearts Miracle Petal. This in turn inspired him to stand up to his superiors and began to tell them to let them go when they were about to arrest them for acts of vigilantism, causing many others to speak up in the Precure's defense.

Cure Light
"May my light guide you all! The Shining Prism! Cure Light!"

 私の光がすべてを導いてくれるように! 輝くプリズム！ キュアライト！

''Watashi no hikari ga subete o michibiite kureru yō ni! Kagayaku Purizumu! Kyua Raito!''

Cure Light (キュアライト Kyua Raito) is the alter ego of Aya. She is the leader of the Prism Hearts Precure. She can transform in Cure Light by saying the transformation phrase, "Precure! Prism Reflection!", and into past Precures by using the transformation phrase "Prism Change!" in combination with the past Cure's name and transformation phrase.

Transformation Sequence
EnEn leaps into the air and transforms into her Prism Changer. She then draws the Cure Light Prism Card and swiped it across the scanner, shouting "Prism Change: Cure Light!" As she lifts her changer into the air, she then shouts "Precure! Prism Reflection!" before leaping into a rainbow light, as she passes through the symbol of the Prism Hearts team, creating her clothes in the process before jumping down and landing on her feet.

Prism Changes
As a member of the Prism Hearts Precure, Cure Light can transform int any past Cure. While there's the obvious preference for the Leader Cures, she has also been seen using other color cures' suits and powers.
