Personality: Most Precure team leaders seem to have the same qualities: upbeat, chipper, full of energy and usually doing some majoy extracurricular activity. Tsubomi bucks the trend completely - that goes to her first friend, Erika. Instead, Tsubomi is much more passive in her actions. She's shy to a fault, quick to stammer and flail and otherwise is one to be somewhat of a wallflower. Her heart is in the right place and she genuinely wants to be there for others.

A lot of Tsubomi's quirks is due to the fact that she had been really parentless for most of her life. While her parents were off on their jobs, Tsubomi really clung to her grandmother and wasn't one to stand up for herself, not really making friends and considering flowers to be her real friends. It isn't until she got to Kibogahana that she's able to finally come out of her shell and make the friends she desperately wants.

For the most part, Tsubomi's taste in friends seem to be an odd thing. A lot of her friends, inside and outside of her Precure circle, have various quirks and she somehow is able to draw out the best of them. Going with her Precure teammates, she was able to calm down Erika to the point where she wasn't forceful, she was able to help Itsuki accept the fact that she can be strong without losing her feminity and help Yuri find the strength to keep going after such crushing defeats. Outside of that circle, Tsubomi's desire to grow and connect has latched on to others, helping them with their own problems.

An interesting thing about Tsubomi is that she doesn't seem to hold any grudges against anyone. She's willing to see the best in anyone and she doesn't like it when others try to harm other people. The one time she held a grudge, when she first met Erika and her energeticness turned her off towards her, Erika became a monster and she realized she messed up big time. This sort of thing boils down to what she told Yuri during the final fight with the villain Dune: "Fight with love." - don't attack with the intent on drawing blood or gaining vengeance.

Another quirk about her is her love for both flowers and fashion. Flowers is most likely her number one hobby as she spent her entire childhood tending to all sorts of flowers thanks to her living with her grandmother. This hobby has gotten to the point where she'll basically tick off things about flowers and she is quite knowledgable about the Language of Flowers, as she tended to point out what the flower a person's Heart Flower was and what it meant in that language. After bonding with Erika, Tsubomi was introduced to the world of fashion, leading her to be able to design and make her own clothes. However, where Erika could churn out designs like crazy, Tsubomi did things in her own pace.

In a fight, Tsubomi tends to hold back, mostly due to the fact that the monsters she fought beforehand were actually humans transformed. She seems more intent on either softening them up or trying to talk them down. However, when pushed to the limits, she'll easily drop the kid gloves and end the fight. Her crying out that "Her bag of tolerance has just snapped!" is an easy indicator to that.

Abilities: As a normal human, Tsubomi... is quite weak. She has a FEW skills in martial arts, though being trained by a fellow student who learned his moves from TV doesn't really count. However, she IS knowledgable of flowers, so that's a plus.

However, as the Precure known as Cure Blossom, that's a whole different story. Through the use of the Heart Perfume and the Precure Seed held by her fairy partner Chypre, Tsubomi can become Cure Blossom. In that form, Tsubomi's strength, stamina and agility is increased to near superhuman levels, allowing her to fight monsters head on. Her main weapon is the Blossom Tact, a wand-like device that allows her to fire her ultimate attack, the Pink Forte Wave. Though the attack is usually seen as a purification attack - where it hits an enemy, ensnares them in an energy and, spinning a device on the Tact, purifies their heart, relaxing them in the process - it can also be fired as a normal energy attack.

As well, the Tact can be used to initiate a tag team attack known as the Floral Power Fortissimo, where her and her fellow Precure mark an F symbol in front of them, which glows with power and allow them to fly at their opponent (think of it like the Shine Spark attacks used by those like Samus Aran of the Metroid series or Getter Dragon of the Getter Robo anime series). Unlike the one performed by Yuri/Cure Moonlight, Tsubomi HAS to have a partner to perform this.

Interestingly, unlike other Precure outside of her series, Tsubomi has a whole list of secondary attacks as Cure Blossom. The Blossom Shower is a basic projectile attack that launches a cluster of energy flower petals; the Blossom Flower Storm, which Tsubomi spins around, surrounding herself in a tornado of energy petals; the Blossom Impact and Blossom Double Impact, where she can channel energy into her palms and release it as a burst of energy; the Blossom Screw Punch, where she charges up a Blossom Impact attack, then fires it as an energy blast; and her oddest attack, the Blossom Butt Punch, which she high-speed hip drops an opponent. Even she doesn't know why she called it that.

Under the power of the Heartcatch Mirage, Tsubomi can achieve a super form known as Super Silhouette. In this form, Tsubomi's true power is never revealed, though she can fly through space unaided by the form's energy wings and is needed to summon the Precure's ultimate attack, the Heartcatch Orchestra. However, to use this power, all four Heartcatch-type Precure are needed.

Her fairy partner, Chypre has a few powers herself. She's the one who holds Tsubomi's Precure Seed needed for transformation. As well, she can convert into the Cure Mantle, a pink energy cape that Tsubomi can wear as both her normal self and as Cure Blossom. As well, Chypre has a special lens that can peer into people's hearts and see their Heart Flower and the state its in.
