Rio

As Cure Earth, her eyes change to brown and her hair becomes brown, longer and becomes tied into a ponytail. She wears an orange and brown striped dress with matching boots and gloves. Her Pretty Cure Pact is located on her right hip. Her Cure Mark, a rock shaped gem in the shape of a heart, is on the centre of her chest.

Personality
Rio is a charming and intelligent girl who can be very commanding. As a natural leader, Rio actively takes charge of operations at the MSM Academy. She can be scheming at times, putting on a front to try and manipulate others into doing what she wants them to do.

Rio, however, is not mean at heart. She feels hard-done-by and rejected because there is more work to do at the MSM Academy than there are people to do it. She would love to be free to go off making deliveries with Yuriko, but feels the only way she will ever be able to achieve this by tricking others into doing the work she doesn’t want to do.

Abilities
Rio can control earth. As she does so, she can be very brave.

Cure Earth
The Earth of Stars! Cure Earth! (星の地球！キュアアース！Hoshi no Chikyuu! Kyua Āsu) Cure Earth (キュアアース) is Rio’s Pretty Cure alter ego. She gains physical strength and can capture enemies inside of her bubbles.

Transformation sequence
Rio’s transformation begins with her inserting her Cure Heart Gem into her Pretty Cure Pact and declaring her transformation phrase. The next scene shows Rio with her element morphing in the background. A series of bows surround her body, forming her dress and putting her hair in to a brown ponytail, rings of bows glide up her arms and legs, making her gloves and boots dissolve onto her body. The light then forms her pact on her belt. She then introduces herself before striking her finishing pose.
