Miho Stafford is a Cure in Pretty Cure★Lucky☆Shuffle. She is a first-year high school student and the second Cure to be awakened in the series. She teaches calisthenics at the Arcana Street Youth Center and aspires to become an inventor someday. Her alter ego is Cure Pernach.
Personality[]
Miho is the most practically-minded and sensible of her friend group. She is much more down-to-earth than Kazue or Takara and has little tolerance for reckless behavior from them or anyone else. In truth, much of Miho's stern and no-nonsense behavior comes from her holding herself to much higher standards in a bid to prove her childhood bullies wrong. She worries about seeming 'dull' compared to her friends and missing out on her childhood but is afraid to loosen up, fearing her peers judging her and the adults who praise her for her seeming maturity losing their trust in her.
Miho is a very soft-hearted girl beneath her no-nonsense exterior and frequently worries about her loved ones. As Kazue puts it, her tears are always shed for others. She is the most academically-inclined of the team and enjoys curling up with a good book or tinkering with machinery in her off time. She has already created a good number of gadgets for her friends and dreams of becoming an inventor one day.
