Personality: Tsubomi has come a long way from how she was at the start of the series. In the beginning, Tsubomi was a shy girl whose only friends were the flowers she loved. She was far too timid and afraid to reach out to anyone outside of her parents and grandmother. However, even then there were days where she was afraid to trouble them with whatever might be bothering her. She became used to bottling it all up inside and hiding it behind a big smile. A person can only hold in their feelings for so long before breaking down though-- Her breaking point came when she could no longer handle being alone so much while her family worked endlessly. Family is that important to her and with her parents finally realizing how much their daughter needed them, this started off a series of events that would inspire Tsubomi to change. Much like a flower, Tsubomi would slowly begin to grow and bloom into the girl she is today.
When the time came that she and her parents would move Tsubomi had made a promise to herself that she would change. No longer would she hide away or be afraid of talking to others. She would make friends and find the courage that was within herself to become a better person. Her love of flowers is one of those traits that allows her to understand people, often associating them with a specific flower in her head. This was especially helpful when she found someone in trouble. Everyone has a heart flower that is precious, as is their happiness. To protect the heart flowers of everyone was a vow she made upon becoming a Precure, Cure Blossom. Even though she originally was considered to be the weakest Precure out of the four, Tsubomi refuses to back down no matter the situation. She is the type that will put herself in harm's way for anyone be they a friend, loved one, or a complete stranger. It is this unwavering, steadfast faith in everyone that shines bright as one of her most admirable qualities as not only a Precure but as a person too.
Tsubomi always looked up to those she believed in. They are her idols, that are the ones who inspire her to be better and to become stronger. Her grandmother, who had once been a Precure herself, always gave her advice when she needed it most. Erika, for being so bright and willing to coax Tsubomi out of her shell to discover a new her. Itsuki, for showing her that there was more than one way to protect the ones she loved. Yuri, the Precure before her and Erika, had shown her that no matter how much pain the heart endures, there is always a way to find the light once more. The lessons she learns help her grow up as a person and a hero. And just as everyone has a dream worth protecting, Tsubomi dreams big too. Her biggest dream is to go into space and bring the joy of flowers to places where they cannot grow by themselves. It's her way of showing that no matter where you are, you can always find hope no matter wherever you go.
But there is a side to Tsubomi that never changes. She is easily flustered and blushes very easily. Compliments leave her stammering and whenever she's around someone she likes she tends to revert back to her shy self. Making sounds like "Mou" are also pretty common, particularly around Erika, who is her complete opposite in every way, as a reaction to the girl's actions and plans. Nowadays she isn't one to hide her emotions either. She is extremely passionate and often times to allows her emotions to get the better of her. And even though she has a big heart, even Tsubomi's tolerance level has their limits. Her tolerance level tends to snap during battles against the Apostles because of their inability to understand how precious a person's heart flower really is.
Canon Powers: In order to transform into Cure Blossom she requires Chypre because she carries her Seed of the PreCure which is used with the Heart Perfume (creativity at it's finest ladies and gentlemen). As a Precure, her strength and speed increase immensely. When she isn't using her attacks she is perfectly capable of hand-to-hand combat. In regards to her powers when she is Cure Blossom, this can be divided up into two groups: her solo attacks and then her joint attacks with the other Precures. Because she is the only Precure of her team in Legion at this time, I have only listed her solo attacks. For the ones possible I have linked a video showing the respective attack.
Or here is one video of the majority of them in one.
With Chypre's help, she can also fly when the fairy transform into a cape that Blossom wears. This is what allows her to fly in the air as well as into space even.
Game powers:
Abilities: While it is not so much as an ability as it is a talent, but it is still one that is both important to and defining of Tsubomi’s character. That being is her knowledge of flowers: she can identify any flower shown to her and even knows the meaning of their names. This knowledge is what helps her to connect with people (by associating them with a flower which allows her to better understand them).
Setting: Tsubomi is going to be overly enthusiastic about her situation, as soon as she has had some time to calm down and accept said situation. She adores being a hero and protecting people-- it is her duty as a Precure after all. Nary a complaint will be heard from this pink haired magical girl. Not to mention holy heart seeds she will be in space. SPACE. Certainly she enjoys fashion but that was honestly more Erika’s forte. This will be her ultimate chance to go to space which is her biggest dream. Not to mention she will get to learn more about being a hero outside of the ways of being a Precure. In the long run, I hope for her to find companions that will be as dear to her as her friends back home, as well as to chip away more at that shy shell she is still prone to being in.

Prose Sample:
At first, Tsubomi was at a loss for words. With her hands clasped together behind her back the teenager had been caught off guard by the question. Looking up at this UP dignitary with a wide eye expression her mouth opened to speak but-- “I.. I... W-well…”-- instead of words there came a stream of stuttering panic while her cheeks turned pink with embarrassment. Being put on the spot like this always made her freeze up.
Hands gripped tightly, she bowed her head as she closed her eyes, scolding herself in her mind. Her face scrunched up but she refused to let herself run away. The dignitary said something then --with an obnoxious tone at that-- but what it was exactly didn't register.
‘No no no, you can do this! There's no need to be afraid me! Erika wouldn't let this guy talk down to her like this! ’
“Well? What do you have to say for yourself?”
‘Don't give up! Believe in yourself! ’
There was a laugh but she wasn't paying attention to that. It hardly mattered when the voice of a certain blue haired girl was resounding in her thoughts, as if pushing her forward had she been here herself.
Finally, Tsubomi lifted her head and this time there was a warm smile to be seen. Her hands moved from hiding behind her back to resting over her chest, the left one over the right.
“Anyone can be a hero if they want to be,” Tsubomi began. Her tone was gentle and soothing, a wistful look in her eyes as she went on. “I have always protected the hearts and dreams of people back where I come from. Everyone is precious to me, no matter who they are.”
Gesturing to the people surrounding them with a wave of her hand, the pink haired girl smiled even more.
“My grandmother and my friends have taught me everything there is to be a Precure. We’ve saved our own world from Dune and the Desert Apostles, and saved their heart flowers too! And with me I carry their words in my heart. It’s because of them I am who I am today-- And that is to be a protector everyone’s happiness!”
Her chest was warm, her heart beating rapidly as her thoughts settled upon her friends and family. Imagining them standing here now, cheering her own, filled her with even more determination. And in a motion that surely would make Erika proud, her hands settled on her hips as she made herself look as tall as possible (despite being close to two feet shorter than the dignitary).
“And just like flowers spreading throughout the land, I, Cure Blossom, will be wherever happiness is needed!”
Of course in that moment of silence to follow, Tsubomi realized everyone in the immediate area was staring at her, her face now turning a vibrant shade of pink that matched her hair.
Network Sample:
I-is this working? … Oh! It is! Alright then-- here goes!
[ a soft, nervous laugh can be heard ]
Hello, future me! I was told that I should leave my future self --you! … who is actually me…-- a message! At first I wasn't sure why but… I think understand. It’s so that you can see how far we’ve come, right?
[ again she chuckles, the sound of someone shifting in their seat follows ]
Well… I hope that, more than anything, we’re able to help everyone while we’ve been here! I know this place isn't home. And that Erika and Grandma and Chypre and everyone else aren't here… [ softer tone now ] That right now I’m alone…
[ but almost instantly her voice brightens ]
But that doesn't mean we can stop being Cure Blossom, now does it? Just because it’s just me I can’t make excuses for not giving it my all. If there’s ever a time to prove myself a reliable Precure it's now! That’s what Chypre and everyone would want! So no wallowing in pity! Nope-- not me! Not even for a second! There’s so much to do and I have to be at my very best!
[ pause, and then quietly ]
… I hope you don't think badly of me, me, but…. I am a little scared… I guess I’m so used to having Erika, Itsuki, and Yuri with me that… being on my own like this is… a bit intimidating…
Maybe by now you’ve made friends though, with the others that are here! [ her voice sounds hopeful now ] I mean, we’re all in this together, right? [ a beat, then-- ] Right! It’s a lot to handle and even a little overwhelming, but if we all work together, we can do anything just like at home! ]
[ her tone gives away her cheer, smiling as she adds on-- ]
I know that we can do it, me. I hope that the me that listens to this message in the future is the me I know I can be.
And that I am proud of the me that I become.
Additional info: Magical girls are super important and the world needs more of them. ...Other than that, I got nothing else to add.

Or here is one video of the majority of them in one.
- ❥ Blossom Butt Punch
❥ Blossom Shower - After drawing a circle of pink flowers before her, Blossom can use these flowers and shoot them at her enemy.
❥ Blossom Flower Storm - Similar to "Blossom Shower", the pink flowers are seen encircling her before she spins rapidly to launch the flowers in a tornado-like fashion.
❥ Blossom Impact - Think a Dragonball Z spirit blast, except pink.
❥ Blossom Double Impact - Twice the pink Dragonball Z power.
❥ Blossom Screw Punch -
❥ Pretty Cure Pink Forte Wave
With Chypre's help, she can also fly when the fairy transform into a cape that Blossom wears. This is what allows her to fly in the air as well as into space even.
Game powers:
- Two Badass Powers
❥ Enhanced Physique : Her strength and agility would be higher than an average person, essentially as strong as she normally would be as a Precure back home.
❥ Energy Attacks : The majority of her canon powers are energy based and the styles of them vary. To accommodate the game, I would like to suggest this: for her stronger attacks like Blossom Double Impact and Screw Punch, while those would be her strongest attacks to use they can only be used a couple of times. Repeated use would drain her of energy significantly. But for attacks like Blossom Shoot and Impact, where the energy blasts are short bursts, while they would be weaker attacks, she can use them more frequently.

Prose Sample:
- Your character is with the team at a fancy diplomatic party and a UP dignitary (Coluan, naturally, because man, that whole planet seems to be chock fill of arrogant dicks) has called into question the character's ability to be a Legionnaire and whether or not they, some weirdo interdimensional stranger, have the personal character to help protect the United Planets. How do they respond?
At first, Tsubomi was at a loss for words. With her hands clasped together behind her back the teenager had been caught off guard by the question.
