Ako Shirabe is the tritagonist of Suite Pretty Cure♪. She is the Princess of Major Land and is a third year student at Municipal Kanon Elementary School.
Her Alter Ego is Cure Muse, who was previously known as the Masked Pretty Cure. She wore a disguise before revealing her true identity.
Appearance[]
Ako has orange eyes and is often seen wearing magenta glasses. Her hair is put in a bob that surrounds the face, with strands hanging from the sides. She wears a purple overalls over a long sleeved pink shirt, with short magenta socks and white shoes with light blue details. She wears a very similar outfit in summer, except the long sleeved shirt is short sleeved.
In the movie, Ako wears a light blue button top over a blue dress. She also wears pink socks under white shoes with periwinkle details.
Her masked form makes her look older than she is. She eyes are now magenta, and her head is covered with a black mask that has a heart gem on the forehead area. The outfit has a cape with magenta on the inside over a black outfit with platform heels.
As Cure Muse, Ako's eyes are also magenta and her hair is much longer, splitting into two parts by the ends. Her forehead has a white headpiece with a hot pink heart gem, and she wears a golden choker, heart shaped earrings and two ribbons on the sides of her head. She wears a yellow blouse with a yellow shawl over the shoulders along with the cure module in the center. She wears a frilly yellow balloon skirt with white and yellow boots which have ribbons over them.
As Crescendo Cure Muse, Ako gains wings, along with her hair color being lighter and curling up. Her ribbons change in shape, and her outfit is now white and light yellow. Her skirt is similar to the original, though the layers above it become cape-like.
Personality[]
Ako is originally shown to be a reserved and somewhat abrasive girl, who is quick to lash out and being unkind blah blah. It's later revealed she is this way due to Minor Land's takeover of Major Land, thinking that she would be forced to save everyone by herself.
In masked form, she's aloof and mysterious, who lends the other Cures aid. Despite this, she doesn't think of herself as one of the Cures and insists that she isn't. She doesn't speak herself while masked, but rather Dodory talking for her.
When her identity as Cure Muse was revealed, she joins the Pretty Cures. Her cold personality is let down somewhat, and she is shown to be a sweet and considerate girl who loves music. She acts rather mature for her age, and can understand most things other kids her age couldn't.
Even though she's a princess, Ako doesn't actually hold much grandeur for herself, insisting that people just call her by her name rather than the Princess.
