Rarely seen without her well-worn lacrosse stick, Nagisa Misumi is one of Juuban's most devoted athletes, albeit not one of her finer students. Despite how aggressive she is on the field, and how friendly off, she is quite shy at heart, and in class her eyes often drift out of focus as she ruminates on recent events. Her upbeat personality and sports talent have garnered her more than one love letter, though for some reason none of them are from boys. Fate struck Nagisa on the head when Mepple, the most annoying fairy in the multiverse, flew through the window. By becoming Cure Black, Emissary of Light, she became partners with Honoka Yukishiro, and though she has little in common with her science-genius classmate, they make a devastating team. There is nothing White and Black cannot face together, hand in hand.

History

Nagisa lived a perfectly ordinary life, until one day she went out on the balcony of her room and watched a shooting star. As romantic a turning point as that might initially seem, the shooting star actually shot down and bonked her in the head forcibly. This "comet" was actually an object that looked like a cell phone, and it quickly transformed into a creature even more obnoxious than her little brother: the fairy called Mepple.

The fabled Chosen Hero of the Garden of Light, Mepple had come to Earth (known as the Garden of Rainbows in his homeland) to find the warriors of legend, Pretty Cure, who were the destined heroes of his beleaguered home. The Garden of Light was one of many Fairy Realms that had suffered damage during the Long Dark Night. The only thing that had prevented it from full destruction was the will of the Queen of Light, a holy entity whose essence is tied to that of her kingdom. The Garden of Light was ravaged severely, however, and Mepple had been forced to escape, rescuing Mipple, the fairy Princess of Hope. The Queen sent them both to Earth, but Mipple was sent first. Mepple, for unknown reasons, had to linger an extra day, but unbeknownst to him, this was equivalent to 100 years in the Garden of Light, so Mipple was forced to wait a century to be reunited with her love, living through various periods of Japanese history.

It must be said that the Hero of the Garden of Light would not, in most worlds, be considered a hero. Rude, selfish, and utterly spoiled, Mepple is attended by a bevy of card-bound servants, who he mistreats outrageously. For a Garden of Light fairy, however, having the courage to effectively run away when attacked is a unique heroism. Most of them resemble small stuffed animals, and none had known fear or hardship before the Long Dark Night.

Mepple formed a Contract on the spot with Nagisa, who didn't really fully understand what was going on, and he himself became her Artifact. He urged her to go find Mipple, as only together could the two fairies transform their respective champions. Clambering through hedges, she arrived at the local amusement park, where she met Honoka Yukishiro, a fellow classmate who had been chosen by Mipple.

Unfortunately, she also was confronted with her first reason to use these powers, in the form of Pisard, a lieutenant of the supreme evil called Dark King who had assailed the Garden of Light. She and Honoka held hands for the first time that day, and told Pisard the truth that would define them henceforth: "We are Pretty Cure!"

Relationships

Honoka Yukishiro - Yukishiro-san, as Honoka is presently known to Nagisa as, is a subject of considerable admiration among Nagisa and her friends, who, far from seeing her as a nerd, find her intelligence a sign of how cool she is. Nagisa might not think herself less girly for her tomboy ways, but that doesn't mean she can't admire how sophisticated and elegant Yukishiro-san is. Though Honoka is still quite new to Nagisa, they spend a lot of time together now.

Mepple - Perhaps the most obnoxious of the often-obnoxious race of fairies, Mepple is a spoiled brat who cunningly manipulates Nagisa, when he's not insulting her just for the fun of seeing her get flustered. Fortunately, this little tyrant wound up in the hands of a particularly strong-willed girl.

Pisard - This fantastically coiffed villain seems to have a particular interest in Nagisa and Honoka. Specifically, he wants the Prism Stones that Mepple and Mipple brought back with them from the Garden of Light. Though his motivation in acquiring them is not completely clear yet, his rhetoric makes "destroy the universe" sound likely, and the Stones are necessary to restore the Garden. Even if it wasn't for that, though, Pretty Cure would still oppose him, as his day job seems to be draining energy from innocent civilians. Jerk!
