Cure Sapphire
Cure Sapphire (キュアサファイア Kyua Safaia) is the Pretty Cure alter ego of Kelly. She controls the power of water and transforms with the phrase "Pretty Cure, Shine Up!". Her main attack is Sapphire Blade.

Attacks

 * Sapphire Blade (サファイアブレード Safaia Burēdo) is Cure Sapphire's main attack. It is first used in Episode 5.

Dark Aqua
Dark Aqua is the past self of Kelly and the legendary warrior Cure Aqua's dark counterpart. She is Karen's past self when she thought she could only trust herself to do things right. She claims she does not need friends, but is in the end moved by Cure Aqua's friendship. Like Cure Aqua, she can create a sword with her powers, but is eventually killed with Aqua Tornado. She was revived (only in theater). When fighting Cure Aqua, her dimension is a nightly meadow with an abnormally sized moon.

Etymology
Minazuki (水無月): Minazuki (水無月) is the ancient Japanese term for June, a rainy month in Asia. Mi (水) also translates to "water", obviously referring to her water-based powers as Cure Sapphire.

Kelly (ケリー): This is a name that is not very common in Japan, but the meaning of this name is "war", most likely referring to her sports skills.

Cure Sapphire means the jewel that are thought to be able to maintain the hope needed in order that our deepest desires and dreams will be fulfilled one day.

Trivia

 * Kelly is the reincarnation of Dark Aqua.
 * She is almost the polar opposite of Minazuki Karen/Cure Aqua.
 * Kelly's birthday is on November 6. This makes her a Scorpio.
 * The group song that Kelly's voice actress sings with the other Cures' teammates, Cloud Nine, may be a pun because the Cures had died in their past selves, and were reincarnated.
 * Kelly's life is contained within her Crystal Brooch, which is one of the Crystals of the Mirror Kingdom.
 * Despite being the last member of her team, Kelly was the first member to get her powers.
