Hishikawa Sayuri

Hishikawa Sayuri (菱川 沙友理) is a main character in LOL Pretty Cure!. Sayuri is a tall 14 year old who's interested in sports. She typically in the summer likes to go surfing, just like she did at her birthplace in Hawaii.

Appearance
With liberty blue hair usually put up in a ponytail and turquoise eyes, this 14 year old is a bit too tan-ish for her liking. Like it says above, Sayuri is tall for her age. In addition to that factor, she's pretty fit.

Other than her middle school uniform, Sayuri wears something summery due to the weather that part of Herz Town has, which is near the beach.

Personality
Before her parents divorce, she was a cheerful child full of energy. She loved the sea and called it her best friend. Although her parents thought it was weird, the friendship came in handy when the married couple ended their marriage. The girl started to act more tougher around others and started being a leader rather than a follower.

History
Sayuri had a happy life with her married parents. That is, until her mother and father began to lose interest in each other, due to many arguments about how they wanted totally different things for the rest of their lives. Their daughter had hope that when they moved to the town of love, her parents would fall in love and they'd all be a happy family again. However, the ex-couple showed no affection for each other nor their child, leaving Sayuri "alone" and feeling unloved. Although she did make tons of friends, the girl considered the non-living sea her best-friend. She also began to act tough towards others, as if she was proving something. Like she was okay and didn't need anyone to help her. Sayuri could fend for herself, and those hopes she thought of at an innocent age were inevitably useless.

Etymology
Hishikawa (菱川) - Hishikawa comes from the two characters Hishi (菱) meaning "diamond", which could be a reference to her Pretty Cure alter ego, and Kawa (川) which is translated to "a river", which could possibly be a reference to her love for the sea. The surname together means "diamond river".

Sayuri (沙友理) - Sayuri comes from 3 Japanese characters, one being Sa (沙) meaning "sand", Yu (友) meaning "friend", and lastly, Ri (理), which means "logic"; "arrangement"; "reason"; "justice" or "truth".

Pretty Cure
Her alter ego is Cure Pearl (キュアパール), who represents the jewel a couple wears.
