Physical appearance: As Doll Grace, her eyes and long, wavy hair turn bright pink. Her hair is worn up in a bun, with the remainder loosely flowing. She gains a pair of curled forelock strands. Her hair is decorated with flowers, and she wears a pearl hairpiece adorned by a dark pink heart, green leaf, and yellow flower to accent her earrings. She wears a tight navy blue leotard with an open back, a small yellow tie attached to the front, and a navy blue cap; bare legs lightly adorned with a black lightning bolt design, red gauntlets, and black knee-high boots. Personality: She is void of one due to being conditioned and brainwashed by Bison to be loyal to Shadaloo. She is officially just a dull robot when talking with Grace. Flaw: She doesn't have her partner or any magical girl items, so she is pretty limited in power, but she makes up for it with her fighting skills. =====Leader of the Healin' Good♥Pretty Cure===== Intro: "The two overlapping flowers! Cure Grace!" Age: 20-21 {{Nodoka's birthday is on March 9th, making her star sign Pisces.}} {{Nodoka gets dizzy easily and will pass out if she is stuck in a crowded place.}} {{Nodoka is the first known human to be infected by a Mega Part. She is also the first former host of a Byogen general to be revealed.}} {{Nodoka had been ill for five years until the middle of her first middle school year.}} {{Nodoka realizes that she still doesn't have a full understanding of the world around her, thus she plans to have a part-time job and save money during high school so she can travel around the world, which she will invite Rabirin to accompany her.}} Justification: Nodoka had every right to refuse him as she was entitled to live a happy life in a healthy body, rather than let a germ like Daruizen take control of her. Summary: Hanadera Nodoka (花寺のどか?) is the group leader of the Healin' Good♥Pretty Cure. She is a second-year student at Sukoyaka Middle School and is in the same class as Chiyu and Hinata. Nodoka's alter ego is Cure Grace (キュアグレース?), and she is known as the Pretty Cure of Flowers. When impressed, she often says, "Whoa~" (ふわあ～?). Her other catchphrase is "I feel so alive!" (生きてるってカンジ！ ?). Physical appearance: Nodoka has dark pink eyes and auburn-colored chin-length hair worn with clips on the side. One of her clips has a pink flower, while the other does not. She usually wears a white blouse with a light blue sleeveless layer over it that has gold buttons and a blue ribbon tied around the navel, along with a pink pleat skirt, white socks, and maroon Mary-Janes. During winter, she wears a black turtleneck beneath a pink dress with a dark magenta chest, white socks, and maroon flats. Physically appearance as a Pretty Cure: As Cure Grace, her eyes and long, wavy hair turn bright pink. Her hair is worn up in a bun, with the remainder loosely flowing. She gains a pair of curled forelock strands. Her hair is decorated with flowers and she wears a pearl hair piece adorned by a dark pink heart, green leaf and yellow flower to accent her earrings. Her choker is dark pink. She wears a pink and yellow scalloped top with fuchsia, lilac and pale pink flower-shaped skirt layers. A red rose is on the chest with chiffon fabric, and she has a pale pink jacket with fuchsia detail and bow on the back. On each side is yellow fabric, while each front corner has a fuchsia, heart-shaped peplum to match the cape-like layer hanging from the back. Her pale pink shoes have a fuchsia sole and ankle strap, and the top is shaped like a flower. A green bow resides on the foot. She also gains white gloves with a pink heart on top. Personality: Nodoka is a calm second-year middle school student who strives to try many different things but doesn't have the athletic ability to accomplish most of them. Above all this, she has a kind heart and wants to help others. She was prone to sicknesses as a child and wants to spread the same kindness she received back then to those around her. At times, Nodoka can be reckless and underestimate a severe situation, mainly because of her desire to protect something she considers valuable, which can cloud her judgment. Origin: A few years ago, Nodoka suffered from a medical condition that resulted in her hospitalization. Being supported by her parents to carry on, she became a selfless person who hoped to protect her loved ones. It turns out that a Megabyogen parasite caused Nodoka's illness. Meeting Rabirin And Becoming Cure Grace: Nodoka overhears that a puppy is hurt and runs into the forest where she meets Latte. Realizing the puppy is ill, she demands they seek a vet, only to find out Latte cannot be treated by normal methods other than the power of Pretty Cure to protect Earth. This and the Megabyogen don't bother her in the slightest though, allowing her and the stubborn Rabirin to connect and become Cure Grace. Grace is amazed by her own physical capabilities and strength but has to be guided by Rabirin to scan the weakness of the Megabyogen and perform certain attacks. Later, Rabirin leaves Nodoka because she doesn't have the ideal body Rabirin had hoped for. So when a Tree Megabyogen attacks, Nodoka tries to use Nyatoran as her new partner, only for that idea to fail. Thankfully, Rabirin comes back to Nodoka, where they reconcile, get to know each other a bit more, and officially become partners, where they manage to defeat the Tree Megabyogen together. Overcoming Pain and the Truth behind her Illness: After the Cures defeated another Megabyogen, Nodoka and Rabirin notice Daruizen looking suspicious. She transforms to confront him, but he immediately forces a Mega Part into her body. Grace is overwhelmed by the pain and collapses onto the ground unconscious, with Rabirin frantically calling out to her while Daruizen watches, satisfied. Afterwards, Nodoka is hospitalized. Rabirin cries for Nodoka and blames herself for being unable to protect her. Her parents are incredibly upset as well. Just as hope seems lost, Nodoka and Rabirin pray together so that the Mega Part will be separated from her, and Nodoka recovers. To her surprise though, the Mega Part evolves into Kedary, who looks strikingly similar to Daruizen. It is soon revealed that she is the former host of Daruizen, who was born from the parasite that infected her as a child. Daruizen then tells her that he is beginning to "like her in some way" before he retreats. A Change Of Pace: After the revelation that she is Daruizen's host, Nodoka begins to physically train herself strenuously. This concerns her friends and they all advise her not to push herself too hard. She tries to put up a strong and determined outlook, but during the battle with the trumpet Megabyogen, she is unable to make a breakthrough. After Earth rescues her from being stomped, Grace finally admits that she is pushing herself because of her guilt of being Daruizen's host and believes she is hurting the Earth. However, Earth reassures her that it was never her fault, and Grace learns to take things easy and starts to train with Asumi with a better running schedule. Epilogue: After the final battle against King Byogen, it is time for Nodoka and Rabirin to leave each other. Rabirin apologizes to her for dragging her into a mess and tearfully cries in Nodoka's embrace, but Nodoka forgives her anyway. She then watches Rabirin return to the Healing Garden with Asumi and the other Healing Animals. Sometime later, Nodoka, along with Chiyu and Hinata, visits the Healing Garden, bringing lots of sweet buns as gifts for the inhabitants. However, they unknowingly bring a Nanobyogen inside and this results in sweet bun Megabyogens appearing. After meeting Cure Summer and the Megabyogens get purified, the three girls sincerely apologize and Queen Teatinu forgives them before they depart. They vow to continue protecting and healing the Earth after returning to Sukoyaka City. Transformation: The transformation begins with Rabirin leaping up and shouting "Start!" before entering the Healing Stick. Nodoka then turns around as she completes the transformation phrase and holds the stick and her Transformation Element Bottle. She inserts the bottle into the stick as it becomes surrounded in a white aura. Nodoka and Rabirin then say "Cure Touch!" together as Nodoka presses the right paw once before a flurry of flowers appears from the glowing tip of the stick. Nodoka is then shown standing on top of a flower while pink flower petals follow her. She waves the stick around as the petals merge and turn into a white cape that falls onto Nodoka's shoulders. Then she taps her feet and her boots appear, follow by her gloves before the cape wraps around her body and forms her dress. A bow appears in the back while a rose brooch with a ruffly ribbon appears in the front. Nodoka's hair then grows longer and turns hot pink with some of it styled into a bun, with her tiara, earrings, and flower accessory appearing before tiny flowers also appear in her hair, completing the transformation. A giant flower then begins to bloom, with Grace emerging from the middle of it. She then poses with her Healing Stick as she and Rabirin start the introduction. After she cuddles Rabirin, Grace twirls the stick around several times before striking her finishing pose. =====Attacks===== Healing Flower (ヒーリングフラワー?): It is her first attack that she can perform with her Healing Stick and Rabirin.
