Ha-chan is a magical girl from the anime "Witchy Precure!" After she grows up from her shining phase, she goes missing, but returns as a girl around Mirai Asahina and Liko Izayoi's age. She becomes Pretty Cure's third member, the "Cure Felice," following a prophecy that she will return when disaster awakens. She stands out with her long pink hair, green eyes, and her fun and innocent way of speaking. Ha-chan doesn’t remember how she grew or gained her magical powers, which makes her both mysterious and lovable. She often brings joy (and trouble!) to her friends, especially with her big appetite for sweet bread. Her journey is all about friendship, love, and learning how to accept her own strengths.
Ha-chan looks almost the same as she did during her sparkling phase, with long pink hair and emerald green eyes. However, the flower-shaped highlights in her eyes have disappeared and her headband has turned green.
When she's not in her magical form, she wears a white and green off-shoulder top with a butterfly-patterned skirt. This outfit matches her unique and lively personality.
As Cure Felice, her costume is designed with a "plants and flowers" theme. Even though her image color is green, her outfit also shows many warm colors like pink (her hair), white, orange, yellow, and red, making her look like a beautiful garden in bloom.
In her special Alexandrite Style, she wears a long, elegant dress with rose vines as decorations, making her look even more mature.
Ha-chan is cheerful, innocent, and a little bit childish. She often gets into trouble because she doesn't fully understand the world or her own powers, but her honest nature makes her very lovable.
She loves to eat, especially strawberry melon bread, and her big appetite often brings comic moments.
When she transforms into Cure Felice, her personality becomes more mature, and she speaks politely to everyone. The difference between her usual way and her magical form surprises many fans.
Ha-chan started as a fairy, not as a human or an animal, making her the first "human-shaped" fairy to become a Pretty Cure.
She chose her human name "Kotoha Hanami" because of kind words she learned from the Headmaster and the affection she received from Mirai Asahina. Liko Izayoi chose the family name "Hanami" (which means "flower sea") because it made her think of a field of flowers spreading like the ocean.
Ha-chan doesn't really remember how she got her powers or grew up so quickly—this mystery is part of her story and is revealed bit by bit as the show continues.
Ha-chan is very talented at magic. She doesn't use a regular magic wand, but instead uses her pink "Magic Touch Pen" from the Linkle Smartbook as a wand.
Her most amazing ability is creating things out of nothing, like making a magical broom appear.
As Cure Felice, her form can only change with the green Linkle Stone Emerald. Unlike the other Cures, she can't change battle styles and only has one fighting form.
She is very strong, especially when she first appears. She can stop strong enemies with her bare hands and can counter their attacks easily. However, she does not attack much herself—she prefers defense and countering.
She can use special magic powers when she sets different stones in her wand. Her main finishing move, "Cure Emerald Reincarnation," surrounds her enemies with flowers and purifies them gently.
She can also use a shield-type magic for defense, creating a flower petal barrier using the Pink Tourmaline stone. This barrier is super strong in the main show.
Her powers get even stronger in her Alexandrite Style, and she can use multiple spells at the same time without any tools.
Ha-chan has a deep bond with Mirai Asahina and Liko Izayoi. They are like her family, and a lot of her growth happens because of her close friendship with them.
The Headmaster also plays an important role, giving her wisdom and support as she learns more about herself and her powers.
Ha-chan's journey also involves her time at magic school and regular school, where she continues to develop her personality and friendships.
- The name "Felice" means "happiness" in Italian.
- She is the 44th Pretty Cure in the whole franchise and the third green Cure.
- She is the first Cure to be a truly “fairy-shaped” human, not an animal.
- Her Cure transformation has a unique background song, which is rare for extra squad members.
- She has two character songs: "Let’s Shine Bright!" as Kotoha, and "Emerald of Words" as Cure Felice. They sound very different!
- Her way of talking changes completely after transforming, which surprises many fans.
- "Blessings to all life!"
- "Blessings to all life! Cure Felice!"
Ha-chan’s Disappearance and Return
After growing up from her sparkling phase, Ha-chan disappears for a while. Later, she returns as a girl the same age as Mirai Asahina and Liko Izayoi.
She follows a magical prophecy: "When disasters awaken, a strong life will return, shining bright."
Becoming Pretty Cure
Guided by her Smartbook, Ha-chan meets up with Mirai Asahina and Liko Izayoi. At a key moment, she awakens as Cure Felice using the power of the Emerald.
Her transformation scene is very touching and shows her growth as a magical girl.
Building a New Life
Ha-chan chooses the name "Kotoha" after hearing wise words from the Headmaster and feeling love from Mirai Asahina. Liko Izayoi gives her the family name "Hanami," inspired by fields of flowers.
Ha-chan joins the magic school and later the regular middle school. Her efforts to create her own school uniform with magic surprise everyone.
Battles and Abilities
Cure Felice is very strong when she first appears, defeating monsters with little effort. She can purify enemies with her finishing move, "Emerald Reincarnation," after her friends weaken them.
She rarely takes the lead in attacking. Instead, she prefers to counter attacks and protect others.
When new, stronger enemies like the Donyokubaru (Gluttonous Monsters) appear, Felice sometimes struggles or gets trapped, showing there are still threats she has trouble handling.
Sacrifice and Reunion
Near the end, in order to separate the magic and non-magic worlds, Ha-chan’s physical body disappears.
But, she later regains her form and is joyfully reunited with Mirai Asahina and Liko Izayoi. This reunion is a heartfelt moment that many fans love.
After the Story
After the main story ends, she appears in movies and crossover specials, often showing her strong fighting skills and teamwork with other Cures.
Eyes and Design
Ha-chan's eyes change; as a fairy, they have a full flower-shaped highlight, but as Cure Felice, the flower highlight is partially hidden and looks like a plus sign.
Rumors and Toy Releases
Before the official announcement, many fans guessed there might be a new Cure, but details were kept secret. Toy releases sometimes revealed hints before the anime did, making fan discussions exciting.
Her single transformation and unique color were rare, but ended up fitting her plant and fairy theme perfectly. She transforms on her own, unlike the main duo, but this matches older series where extra members also had solo transformations.
Ha-chan’s story in "Witchy Precure!" is all about friendship, courage, discovering who she is, and accepting her own powers. She brings color, warmth, and happiness everywhere she goes—just like a field of flowers!
