I'm gonna assume this blog is a safe place to put my ideas for Sparkly Precure.
If I put it all on the wiki I am wanting it to be on, then I think I'll be spoiling things for people. Since this post is not affiliated with FANDOM, I can put my Sparkly stuff here! On this page! So I copied most of this from my A ZU NA Land sandbox, which is technically private, but it's out there for everybody to see, but time went on, so I will add more things to it!
Introduction
I thought of something cool for a Sparkly Pretty Cure rewrite.
So the Cures live in some conservative town, and they all like honoring people and stuff. The main character, Kana, wants to be a doctor like her mom, but she's a kid and she's also a wimp. She meets Fumiko, who's really popular and is part of the school's student council, and they become friends pretty quickly. It makes Kana want to be part of the council, but she can't because it's full. She then meets Hanami, who's this great ice skater, but she's really self-centered. Then she meets Ayaka who's an athlete, and Kana likes her but she thinks she's too wimpy to hang out with her. She then meets this other girl, let's call her Jenny, who's just like Kana in every way, down to wanting to be a doctor. But then she gets trapped and her dream turns into a Yokunai. This makes Kana turn into Cure Hanakotoba and save her. Fumiko then turns into Cure Tori, Hanami turns into Cure Hikari, Misato turns into Cure Fushigi and Ayaka turns into Cure Jounetsu. Nanami joins later on as Cure Shinrin. They later have to face the real bad guy, Cure Kami (this is actually Cure Iridana), who's the most powerful in the galaxy, and Cure Hanakotoba defeats her and becomes the most powerful.
This is just a small starting point. I like it, but there's one problem... I'm too attached to the name Cure Birds. Like too much. Cure Shimmer is a pretty name too, but I have so many light-themed Cures that Cure Shimmer might be turned into something else.
Let's begin changing characters for the better!
Pink Cure
Picture: Mizuki Himeji
First, there's Kana Momokira, Cure Zenith. Kana's... not the most interesting character in the world. In fact, I keep forgetting she even exists. She'll probably get a full civilian rename, possibly to Kanon, and her personality would be less similar to Hana and more to Hikaru. Her voice will also be changed from Aika Kobayashi to Akina, who voices Kohane, Kii, and both girls from KARAKURI.
Her new name is Iroha, meaning colorful flower, and her new seiyuu is Akina, who voices Kii Saegusa and Kohane Azusawa.
Blue Cure
Next, there is Fumiko Aoyama, Cure Birds. The civilian name will be kept. The problem is the character is too much like one of the seiyuu's (Suzuko Mimori) characters, Umi Sonoda. Besides being "seitokaichou", Fumiko is a ripoff of Umi in every sense of the word, including name. I made a chibi design to get started with her changes, and her personality would probably be more Saaya Yakushiji-like.
If not, she's gonna be short and angry.
I'm going to give her the name Nanami Kiyomizu, meaning pure water of the seven seas. That means her powers will also change, from air to water. The name Fumiko Aoyama might see the light of day again, but not today. She will probably her seiyuu, Suzuko Mimori, who voices Umi Sonoda and Asumi Fuurin, but she'll do a higher voice for Nanami.
Yellow Cure
The third is Hanami Kikuchi, Cure Shimmer. First off, she shares the same surname as the yellow Cure from Simple PreCure, but I like Hanami's name, so it might get a rename, it might not. Just don't make Hanami's power lighting. Second, Hanami is literally a fusion of Mari Ohara and Homare Kagayaki. And Hanami was made before I joined the Love Live fandom officially, so it's even worse! We already got a quick-learner but a smart alec in Sakuya and Queen Kitty, so maybe I'll make Hanami more like Homare, and maybe Kirara.
She will keep her seiyuu, Himika Akaneya, at least for now. Akaneya voices Laala Manaka and is part of i☆Ris.
I want her name to use the character "oto" (音), so here's what I found:
Kanon (夏音), meaning summer sound
Reo/Leo (玲音), meaning tinkling sound
Rone (楼音), meaning tower sound (like wedding bells?)
Watane (和音), meaning serene sound
Waon (羽音), meaning wing sound
I'm most likely gonna go with Kanon or Leo.
The name I'm going with is Leo Yukimine, meaning "tinkling sound at the fortunate peak".
Purple Cure
Picture: Chitose KarasuyamaFourth is Misato Murata, Cure Mystère. Pretty much as boring as Kana. She is said to be edgier than Shadow the Hedgehog, but really, she's just a fusion of Shadow and Yuri Tsukikage who looks like a fusion of Zakuro and Chara with a hoodie. She's also trying to save her sister Misaki or something? Misato's name might change to Misa, but Misato is elder so who knows. And I'll probably make Misato more like Iona or Yukari than Yuri, being funnier ambiguous than serious ambiguous. With that, I might change her name. It's a fusion of Himeko Murata and Misato Katsuragi, and I'm not sure if that's what I wanna do with the character anymore.
I think I'll go with the surname "Otonashi" for this character. It means "soundless". The problem is there is a lot of anime characters with the surname, so I have to be careful.
Okay, I found a name for her, Misato Otonashi! It means "Silent, beautiful knowledge". For her Cure name, either Cure Fushigi or Cure Himitsu. Haven't decided.
Red Cure
The fifth one is Ayaka Tanaka, Cure Phoenix... or Cure Remedy. Yeah, I changed Ayaka's Cure name to Cure Remedy in response to the Australia fires. It was for a good cost, but it was still a bad move, especially since after this, COVID-19 would release itself everywhere, making the fictional doctor entirely useless. Ayaka was extremely similar to Socca Fan from Generic Pretty Cure, though, and the type that Socca was making fun of was the energetic, rough girl who's obsessed with sports, like Nagisa, Saki, Rin, Hibiki, Akane, and probably Asuka despite predating the series by a landslide. I'll have to find better ways of treating her character better since I think she would be the most controversial of the six. Maybe a chaotic mix of Minami and Rin?
Due to how funny the name "Ayaka Tanaka" (colorful flower of the middle field) is to me (she's a red Cure and she has "aka" (meaning red) in her name twice, the peak of comedy here), Ayaka will probably be the only character who will keep her original name intact. The problem is, her name has the same meaning as Iroha, colorful flower, if you make the definition wrong, so if I wanna keep Ayaka's name completely intact, I have to not name the pink cure Iroha.
Sayaka Tanaka isn't taken (for the most part) so if you want to rename her to Sayaka, go ahead!
But there will be some things I want to do with her character. I'm gonna make her a jock again, and I'm gonna make her fiery, mostly because... a change as drastic as Ayaka's whole character can't happen within the span of a month in the real world. Long story.
So it's Ayaka vs Sayaka. Tanaka is a cute surname so I'm keeping that for one, but I have an Aikatsu OC named Mine Tanaka so there's an 80% chance I'm keeping the red Cure's surname.
Sixth Ranger
Last but not least is Nanami Matsuoka, Cure Specter. She's based on Ciel (and my dislike of her at the time), but honestly, Nanami might be my favorite of the six in this development period. She can be like Ciel and Kotoha. That would be fun. My problem with her lies in her name: Cure Specter. Not only is that weird for a protagonist to have a spooky name like that, but it's also kinda repetitive, since the Spectral Pretty Cure already exists, and they're green. Nanami is required to get a cooler name since her name shows a Yakuza character and some weird results about dating and XXX.
Since I gave the name Nanami to the Blue Cure, the green Cure's name is now Noeru, or Noel, meaning "holy" in Japanese and "Christmas" in English. As such, expect her birthday to be on Christmas.
Her name might be Noel Suekane (未包), meaning "holy unpacked" or "Christmas unpacked", depending on how you use it. If I don't use the name Noel, her last name will probably be Kiseki (幾石) one of the meanings being "how many stones".
Cure Names
As I discussed, I've been wanting to rename the Cures as well as their Cure names. You know how HUGtto has all French Cure names (except for Cure Yell but I always call her Cure Aile)? And some of the other Cures kike Rouge, Aqua, Felice, Gelato, Chocolat, Soleil, Selene, and Fontaine have names that aren't common in English either? Yeah, Sparkly's gonna follow that, except there's one thing different. They will be the first Cures to have their Cure names be English and Japanese! Here are my ideas for Cure names,
- For Iroha, the pink Cure, only one currently comes to mind: Cure Hanakotoba, meaning language of flowers. Iroha controls flowers.
- For Nanami, the blue Cure, possibly Cure Mizu, meaning water.
- For Leo, the yellow Cure, maybe Cure Hikari, Cure Utau, or Cure Kagayaki, meaning light, song, and sparkle respectively.
- For Misato, the purple Cure, either Cure Fushigi or Cure Himitsu. One means mystery, one means secret. I forgot which one for who.
- For (Sa/A)yaka, the red Cure, maybe Cure Jounetsu, meaning passionate.
- For Noel, I'm thinking Cure Shinrin, meaning forest.
