Yukari Kotozume (琴爪ゆかり?) , otherwise known as Cure Macaron (キュアマカロン) is one of the main characters in KiraKira☆Pretty Cure A La Mode.
Appearance[]
Yukari is a young woman with sharp purple eyes and long wavy hair. Her outfit consists of a purple shirt and a gray pencil skirt, as well as a lilac trench-coat. A lavender ribbon also accompanied her coat and goes around her waist.
As Cure Macaron, her hair grows slightly and becomes thicker. She wears a hat designed after a macaron cookie. She also gains a pair of dark purple cat ears and a cat-like tail. Her earrings resemble raspberries, and she wears a purple choker-like ribbon around her neck. Her dress is still it’s usual shade of purple but now has white fabric around the chest area and it’s sleeves are now big and poofy. Her mini-skirt is patterned to resemble a macaron with lavender and raspberry in the middle. Her dress also has purple waist bow at the back and matching knee-height boots with paw-like patterns at the toes, as well as an anklet accented with raspberry pink spheres, and long white opera gloves.
Personality[]
Yukari is refined young woman with a clever personality and fickle nature. She takes great pleasure in teasing others for the sake of being able to see their reactions, with her passion for doing so usually stemming from her own vanity. She has an excellent sense of perception, as she was the first to take notice of Rio's concerning behavior. In spite of her arrogance, she still holds her job as a pretty cure in high priority, albeit mainly for the sake of being able to mess with the other girls and make their lives unpredictable for the fun of it. Her love for macarons manifested following her attempt to bake her own as a child, only for it to fail in the end. This motivated her to keep trying to improve her skill at baking the cookies, as she greatly loves having something she can improve her skills on.
However, Yukari has a more sensitive side to her. When she was younger, Yukari was desperate to find her true passion, but failed. Being stuck having to hold up a "perfect" image took a great toll on her and led to her feelings of loneliness because of no one wanting to see past her prim and proper exterior and reach out to her in order to form a friendship. Her obsession with finding enjoyment is what led to her mischievous and playful personality, knowing that the only way she'd ever feel happiness is if she created it herself. In episode 29, she embraces her true self and confesses that she won't be able to erase her inner darkness and sadness no matter how hard she tries, but her friendship with the other girls and surrounding herself with a "colourful world" allows her to deal with it.
