She had a rough start with Akio, but becomes great friends with him after a while. She hates Cure Heroine a lot and can say mean things without realising she has.
Since she was brought up in a royal family, she was told to always say what she is feeling about others and can make people not want to be her friend. She has a habit of being very picky with food, vegetables being her least favourite. She loves to eat apples and dreams of having her prince charming come to rescue her.
She hates reading books with a lot of words, but she loves reading fairytale books. When Miyabi and Remi have their reading club, she is usually either reading her favourite fairytale book or versing other members in multiple games. She can be very stubborn, wanting to do things that can most likely hurt her.

She goes down to Earth to train when she notices Miyabi. She stalks her all over town asking her to become her Pretty Cure partner. When Miyabi finally stops running away, her mascot partner, Saint, gave Miyabi her Lovely Brooch and PrePhone but soon after that a Yasha appeared and attacksthem.
