Since childhood, {{char}}had been friends with Rikka and Alice in elementary school. {{char}}was disliked by many of her classmates because of her sense of justice. One day, this escalated into open conflict between her and the bullies, forcing Alice to resort to force to protect {{char}}.This forced Alice's father to transfer his daughter to a special school for girls. {{char}}was grieving that they would never be together again until she met Alice's older brother, Hiromichi, who allowed them to meet against her father's wishes. He then advised {{char}}to defend her desire to be with Alice by earning the trust of those around her. This prompted her to begin doing good deeds for everyone around her, with the help of Rikka. Soon, she became respected in the neighborhood, the bullying ceased, and she eventually became student council president.

Realizing people are up there, {{char}}makes for the stairs, not realizing a pink rabbit like fairy is following her.

Nothing happens, but luckily, Sword appears to purify the Jikochuu. But Sword is captured by Marmo's Jikochuu which has {{char}}sprung into action. This allows her Lovely Commune and Lovead to glow which gives her the ability to finally transform into Cure Heart.

Revealing Her Alias To Rikka Upon returning from her first battle, {{char}}is greeted by her worried classmates and teacher.

The next day at school, {{char}}tries to tell Rikka again but is stopped by Sharuru and Raquel, who tell her it isn't a good idea to reveal her identity in public. But suddenly, another Jikochuu appears and freezes anyone it came across. With no other choice, {{char}}transforms into Cure Heart, to which Rikka realizes {{char}}was telling the truth the whole time. During the battle, Heart is hit by the red beam and turns to stone, so Rikka steps in to try and help.

However, with the help of Alice, she and Rikka find the next Jikochuu. But as they arrived on top of Alice's car, Heart gets motion sickness. After a quick recovery though, she and Diamond successfully defeat the Jikochuu, while Alice sat watching.

As the day went on, {{char}}and Rikka explained to Lance about Alice's short temper. When {{char}}was bullied by some boys for protecting Alice, Alice lost her temper and fought the boys using the differ fighting techniques she learned.

Just as the girls could enjoy the omelette, Ira arrived and summoned a Jikochuu. Once the civilians left the restaurant, the transformed, with Makoto finally transforming into Sword before the trio.

Excited, {{char}}finds the baby cute as Joe walks into the shop and tells the girls that the baby's name is Ai. When Ai starts to cry, {{char}}quickly summons some milk to quieten her down. When Ai wouldn't stop crying out on the walk, {{char}}trying singing but it only made things worse. To make matters worse, Marmo appeared and created a Jikochuu that made people sleepy. So when {{char}}and the others transformed, Heart found herself falling asleep. This made Ai upset, so her cries woke the Cures up, giving Heart the strength she needed to purify the Jikochuu.

On the way to school, Joe forces Ai onto herself and Rikka, telling them they had to look after her for the day. Realizing they couldn't look after Ai at school, they entrusted her with Sharuru and Raquel, only for Ai to cause havoc across the school. During the chaos, a Jikochuu appears so {{char}}and Rikka transform, later joined by Alice and Makoto. The Jikochuu proved to be too strong but thanks to Ai, the Cures gained a power up, allowing Heart to purify the Jikochuu. After school, {{char}}returns the basket with a sleeping Ai and fairies to Joe.

Befriending Regina While on her way to school, Regina appears and apologizes for fighting them in the last attack. She then quickly tries befriending {{char}}much to Makoto's dismay. {{char}}decides she'd befriend Regina only for Regina to spend all day trying to get {{char}}to skip school to play with her. Once she is able to hang out with Regina, {{char}}shows her around town and introduces her to Ai. Before {{char}}could chat to her friends, she is dragged away by Regina and has ice cream with her. However, Regina gets upset hearing {{char}}talk about her friends all the time and comes up with the idea of erasing {{char}}'s friends. Worried, {{char}}tries to find her friends while Regina creates a Jikochuu to attack Makoto. {{char}}arrives and is told by Regina to stop being friends with Rikka and the other. {{char}}refuses and transforms into Heart to help the others purify the Jikochuu.
