I apologize, but first chapter isn't a chapter. Before I start, I must introduce the audience to my Heartcatch PreCure character who plays a large role in this tale. So, here's her profile. Illustrations can be found here: precure. livejournal. com/ 1382173. html (Remove the spaces.)
Name: Natsuko Amahara
Alias: Cure Rose
Age: 17
Hair: Medium-Brown
Eyes: Brown
Birthday: April 12
First Appearance: Fan-Made Episode: A Figure in the Moonlight! Cure Rose Appears!
Flower: Violet
Fairy: Talili (It's a combination of Tulip and Lilly)
Normal Appearance: She has long medium-brown hair about the same length of Yuri's and is usually in her school uniform, which is a blue blazer and skirt with a white top and red tie. Her casual outfits vary, but she's usually in a burgundy sweater-dress, with a sideways black belt, black leggings and boots. When working in the café she wears a white blouse, black skirt and dark blue apron.
Pretty Cure Appearance: She's the only one of the Heartcatch girls that has a natural hair color in both civilian and Pretty Cure form. Being Cure Moonlight's partner, her outfit is similar, they share the same skirt design, but she wears an off-the shoulder top with sleeves that are a bit more spiked and her theme color is burgundy, not purple. Her hair becomes a lighter shade, grows longer and is tied into a braid that sits over her shoulder. The braid is tied off at the beginning and end with a burgundy bows that each contain a pink rose in the middle. She also has pink earrings and the same boots Cures Moonlight and Sunshine have, only in Burgundy.
Her supper Silhouette appearance is, again, similar to Cure Moonlight's, only with an off-the-shoulder top, and a Burgundy color. Her barrettes also change, with a heart in the middle and bigger, longer ribbons.
Pretty Cure Weapon and Attacks: Rose Tact: unlike the other tacts, hers is a staff; however the top can come off and turn into the Rose Ribbon. The tact is what she uses for her Floral Power Fortissimo (Which can be done alone or with Moonlight) and the Ribbon is what she uses for her Burgundy Forte Wave, depending on the strength of the desertrian. (The forte wave is used for weaker ones.) Along with these attacks, she is shown to have amazing fighting skills and often fights hand to hand. Other attacks include Petal Dance, and Spring Rose Serenade!
Pretty Cure Speech: "The flower that blooms with elegance! Cure Rose!"
Family: She lives with just her mother and father in a two-story house a short walk from their café. However, even though she is only one who lives in the house with her parents she has an older brother (Koji) in college whom she dislikes. Ever since she was young her brother seemed like the perfect child. He had good grades, a great reputation and everyone seemed to like him, due to this Natsuko has always been and still feels pushed to the side. She feels that she has always been and still is compared to her brother even though they are two different people. That being stated, her brother angers her whenever he is around with all of his "perfections" and she hates his criticism, especially at the café. (He goes as far as to say her tricks are "unprofessional", despite the fact that the she customers like it. (And often ask for her as a server)). She had always struggled to find something she could do that he couldn't until she had to fight him as a desertrian and realized that she could do something, she can be Pretty Cure and he cannot.
History/Biography: Natsuko actually grew up in a town at least four hours away from Kibōgahana, but moved when her parents decided to open their café. She became a Pretty Cure with the help of her fairy Talili, who was originally partners with Cologne. It's not known how or when she became a Pretty Cure exactly, just that she is Cure Moonlight's partner. However, because they lived in two different areas, Yuri and Natsuko often worked alone, unless Natsuko came into town or they fought at the Heart Tree (Where they met).
The reason she kept her powers but Yuri did not is because she was not in the fight with Dark PreCure. On the day the fight occurred she was attending a funeral for her Great Aunt, and not wanting to bother her Yuri went off on her own. Originally it was assumed that the fight between Moonlight and Dark PreCure was a final, destined one, but is later revealed to be a surprise attack when she is going to take the test for the Heartcatch Mirage, as stated, Natsuko could not be in attendance for the test, which left Moonlight alone.
After Natsuko learns what happens she makes a vow to fight for both herself and Moonlight until they find a way to get her powers back. And, with Moonlight gone, all of the fights turned to her, causing her to increase in strength due to the extra weight being taken on by the lack of Moonlight's help.
Shortly afterwards, Natsuko's parents decide to move to Kibōgahana, to fulfill their dream of opening a restaurant, though a specific reason for choosing this town is never given. She first approaches Blossom and Marine as herself and transforms in front of them in battle, she then easily finishes off the desertrian. When asked if she'll join the team, she refuses, saying that Blossom and Marine "do not understand what it means to be Pretty Cure," and that they are "Pretty Cure babies." She then walks away, but later appears in battles and is even shown to have some battles herself.
However, she does join the team shortly before Moonlight's power is returned, and acknowledges Tsubomi, Itsuki and Erika as her friends. She later takes the Mirage test with them, her mirage being how she felt in the past about her brother and her role in the family and world. After the test she gains the Super Silhouette power up with the other girls, but, rather than having a button on the mirage, her activation "key" is the Pretty Cure palace key.
Aside from Pretty Cure life, her personal life is pretty decent, despite her brother issues. In her spare time she works as a waitress at the café and often hangs out with Yuri and Momoka (Erika's sister.) When her brother comes to visit she neglects going to the café and just hangs out with her friends, because she dislikes being criticized and upstaged by her brother while on the job.
And, unlike most teenagers that move, she had no problems with the transition, and embraced it. She figured it was a way for her to create her own identity and break away from being labeled as "Amahara's Little Sister."
