A 14-year-old schoolgirl at Public Yotsuba Junior High School. Love is a hyperactive, sympathetic and emotional girl, who tries her best at matchmaking but often fails. She adores dancing and is a big fan of the dancing unit "Trinity". She also dislikes sports and studying. She is being taught dancing by Miyuki, the leader of dancing group "Trinity" (Miyuki decides to teach her as thanks for saving her in ep one), whom she admires. She later forms the dance group Clover with her childhood friends, Miki and Inori. Later Setsuna joins the Group. Love has dirty blond hair that is shoulder length which she wears in two tight ponytails at the top of her head. Her Pickrun, the Pirun, is pink and wears a chef's hat on its head. Peach's theme colors are pink and white and her symbol is the heart.
A 14-year-old schoolgirl at Private Torigoe Academy, established for entertainment talents. Good at sports, also has sense in fashion and tries to warn herself of showing her beauty to others. She wants to be a fashion model, so she tries to control herself. Her house is a salon, and she lives with her mother. She joins the dancing group with Love because she wants to control her shape. Miki has long, silky lavender coloured hair that falls to her waist. Her attack comes from the French word "espoir", meaning "hope", which was most notably used in Yes! Pretty Cure 5 as the name of the beauty shop owned by Nozomi Yumehara's mother. Her Pickrun, the Blun, is blue and wears a crown on its head and a pearl necklace. Berry's theme colors are blue and purple and her symbol is the spade.
A 14-year-old schoolgirl at Christian Private White Clover Academy. She is an animal lover, aspiring to be a veterinarian. Love tends to call her "Bukkī", the diminutive of her family name. She may look calm and quiet, but actually suffers from low self-esteem. In order to improve herself, she joins the dancing group with Love. She sometimes lacks common sense and just goes with whatever situation she finds herself in. Her hair is a golden orange colour that brightens to rusty blonde in cure form. Her Pickrun, the Kirun, is yellow and has horns on its head. Pine's theme colours are yellow and orange and her symbol is the diamond.
She first starts as a cold and isolated teenage girl loyal only to Moebius which, due to her behavior when she is defeated, can be seen as an obsession. After spending time with the girls as a spy, she begins to wonder what makes her happy and slowly opens up to them. Following a final battle with Cure Peach, her life was offered to fill the Life Gauge and she died. However, she was saved by the Akarun and Chiffon, and is reborn as Cure Passion. After agreement she lives with the Momozonos, joins the dancing group and attends Public Yotsuba Junior High School with Love. She has dark purple hair as Setsuna, bluish-white hair as Eas and long light pink hair when in Pretty Cure form. Her Pickrun, the Akarun, is red, wears a ribbon on its head and has angel wings. Passion's theme colors are red and black and her symbol is the club.
A ferret-like fairy, he is Chiffon's caretaker, but always has trouble taking care of her. He is always anxious but kind, and has a Kansai dialect. He takes Chiffon to the human world from the Kingdom of Sweets, on his search for the Pretty Cures. He is prone to worrying and often grumbles, but becomes weak to a good story and will become over emotional. He also loves Kaoru's donuts. Tart is the prince of the Sweets Kingdom, who went to the human world.
A baby fairy from the Kingdom of Sweets, she likes to make practical jokes with others. Chiffon often use espers power (ESP), which involves her using magic with a green aura, to make people have troubles and laugh. Love and the others, including Tart, take care of her. The mark on her forehead gives a light that has many different abilities, including giving the power for the Pretty Cures to transform and give them power ups. Chiffon acted like a normal baby at first, but the girls' Pickruns have different effects on her (Pirun: She started eating human foods, Kirun: She began to speak, Blun: She tried on different clothes, Akarun: Strengthened her current powers). Her true identity is "Infinity", the limitless memory and a god-like entity.
The villains in this series are known collectively as denizens of "Labyrinth" (Rabirinthu). Their names come from the cardinal directions.
