Cure Felice First Leaks (Finally, Ha-chan Happened to Me!?)

Over the weekend, the Linkle Smartbook has already released in various Japanese toy stores (not just only in the Pretty Store), but to my unexpected surprise, there's someone will soon join Miracle and Magical's adventures... IT'S HA-CHAN!!!

Yes, yes, yes, you've seen it right! I know it's very too early to do so, but right now I can feel the excitement about Ha-chan being the second mascot-turning-Pretty Cure heroine following Milk/Milky Rose and the third green colored one (YES, AT LONG LAST!) after Cures Mint and March.

Ha-chan's final form as Kotoha Hanami

 フェリーチェファンファン キュアフォーレ！

Felice, Fan Fan, Cure Forêt!

 あまねく命に祝福を！キュアフェリーチェ！

Blessings to lives far and wide! Cure Felice!

Technically, Felice will be the fourth official main Cure that represents flowers after Cures Bloom, Blossom and Flora. However, she will be also the first non-lead Cure that represents plants and flowers.

MY HUMBLE IMPRESSIONS:

As Mahou Tsukai Pretty Cure! has just getting better each week, it seems that we will still watching over Ha-chan's growth until becoming a Cure. Interestingly, I somewhat reminds me of Mimi Tachikawa (the Tri version actually) with a quite touches of Lilymon, Palmon's changed form from Digimon. Her outfit is emerald green with flower accessories into her fluffy skirt (Aw man, haven't seen this for a while since Cure Honey, yet it surely reminds me also of Haru-Haru's customized party dress!), emerald green heels and most of all, serve as her hair accessories. Felice's sleeves might be light yellow or mint green that quite reminded me of Magical's cape as well as her basic color was obviously fitted between Echo, Mint and March. Therefore, it's mainly flowers which is making a contrast between Miracle and Magical, then the hair design thing will be reminded much of Flower. Felice's overall appearance, being distinctively different from Miracle and Magical, is akin to the third-member Cures (i.g. Pine, Peace, Rosetta, Honey). Furthermore, the "fluffy" skirt aspects of her design are akin to the yellow Cures (i.g. Pine, Muse, Rosetta, Honey).

Her henshin device might be the Linkle Smartbook and her weapon would be way too different from the Linkle Sticks, so it could be a solo finisher with the Linkle Emerald. Then, I suspected another cheat code item following the Princess Palace and might happened before the MTPC mid-season arc concluded.

Since we're already in the Neo-Washio Era of the Cure series, at least that there are some tropes that the Toei staff and even Takashi Washio still retain, including the mid-season Cure one. To elaborate, Mahou Tsukai is now a combination of Ojamajo Doremi and Suite Pretty Cure. Plus, we haven't seen a real trio-piece Cure team for a very long time after the Max Heart Cures, so finally it's about to happen this July like some past Cure seasons; and most of all... A year of Saori Hayami vibes already popped out in our way for the anime world (along with Akagami no Shirayuki-hime 2nd Season, which expects to be ended two days after Easter Sunday, and the upcoming Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei movie around fall of this year).

If Ha-chan will be in the same age as Mirai and Riko, which dimension she should study? The No Magic World or the Magic World? Will she pull an Ellen Kurokawa/Makoto Kenzaki/Towa Akagi for not knowing Earth's customs, or rather, a Kurumi Mimino/Setsuna Higashi but with her kind-ish attitude? Only time will tell.

UPDATE: The evidence says it all...
