Ako Shirabe

Ako Shirabe (調辺 アコ Shirabe Ako) is one of the four main Cures in the series Suite Pretty Cure♪. She is the Princess of Major Land but has come to the human world to escape the Major Land/Minor Land war, where she attends the Public Kanon Elementary school as a classmate of Minamino Souta. In order to save her father Mephisto, whose heart had been tainted with evil, she disguised herself as the Masked Cure. In episode 35 to try to win back her father's gentle heart, she removed her mask to announce her plans of joining Cures Melody, Rhythm and Beat.

Ako's alter ego is Cure Muse (キュアミューズ Kyua Myūzu?). She uses the purple Fairy Tone Dodory to transform.

Appearance
Ako is a little girl with orange eyes, which require magenta glasses. Her short orange hair frames her face with a loose strand on each side of the head. Normally, she wears a pink long-sleeve shirt, but short in the summer, with a purple buttoned one-piece over it, short magenta socks, and white sneakers with pale blue detail. In the movie, she wears a light-indigo buttoned top over a pearl blue dress, pink socks, and white shoes with periwinkle accents.

In Masked form, Ako appears to be much older due to wearing platform boots. Her eyes turn magenta and her head is hidden by a large purple and black mask with a heart gem to match her full body outfit and cape.

As Cure Muse, her eyes are the same as in masked form while her now bright orange hair grows very long and is worn loose, splitting in two segments so far down with a yellow ribbon on each side. Besides her white forehead piece which is adorned by a hot pink heart gem, she also gains a gold choker and heart earrings. She wears a pale yellow long-sleeved blouse with yellow detail and ribbon on each hip. Around the shoulders is a yellow shawl with white ruffles and the Cure Module in the center, with a yellow bow. The short, yellow balloon skirt has a ruffled light yellow peplum over it. She also gains white and light yellow boots with a yellow ribbon adorned by a heart on top.

As Crescendo Cure Muse, her hair is thickly curled and a lighter color. Her ribbons alter in shape and her attire becomes white and pale yellow, with details in yellow and light yellow. The skirt remains the same but the layers above it grow in length and gain a feathery, gold cape-like piece hanging from the back to match her wings.

Personality
Ako is a sweet and considerate girl who enjoys music and loves to sing. She adores her parents and looks up to them, although she gets flustered by her father's awkward behavior. She is also mature for her age and capable of understanding things most kids her age wouldn't.

However, after Minor Land's takeover of her home, she fled for Kanon Town and was led to believe she would be forced to save everyone on her own. As such, she became cold and pushed others away, showing a rude and inconsiderate side around people older then her unless she liked them, and even then she could come off as condescending and sternly cold if annoyed.
