Name: Misumi Nagisa Gender: Female Age: 15 Birthday: October 10 Alter Ego: Cure Black Partner Pretty Cure: Yukishiro Honoka Partner Fairy: Mepple

Appearance & Outfit: Nagisa has short, straight ginger hair and light brown eyes that are a little sharpened with slightly tanned skin. She has full bangs as well as slightly thick eyebrows. On her head are a few thin strands facing downwards. When playing lacrosse, she wears some of her hair up with a pink heart-shaped clip. Her casual outfit consists of a white shirt with long black sleeves and a coral red horizontal line in the middle worn over a short-sleeved pink jacket, a red skirt, and black and white sneakers with light blue laces and light pink socks.

As Cure Black, Nagisa's hair flares out and her bangs are slicked aside to the left. Her eyes sharpen and she gains silver heart-shaped earrings. Her outfit is black, composed of a short-sleeved crop top with white trimming and a skirt with a corner slit at the left to reveal a pair of shorts. Pale pink ruffles line her sleeves and skirt, and mauve fabric covers the collarbone with a thick black turtleneck. On her chest is a pale pink ribbon, and she wears a pink belt curving upwards to the left with a pale pink heart-shaped buckle. Her boots are dark magenta with cerise soles, worn with black leg warmers lined in white with a pink heart on top, matching her fingerless gloves and arm warmers.

Personality: Nagisa is a star lacrosse player at Verone Academy. She is very energetic and popular among other girls for her passionate nature, much to her dismay. She is weak with academics but her pure spirit makes up for it. She also has a large appetite and loves to eat chocolate, Fujita Akane's takoyaki, and according to Honoka, food with the word "yaki" in it. She can be childish and easily angered and loves to go out and play when it's nice and sunny.

Despite her sporty nature, Nagisa is actually very girly and self-conscious. She has a large collection of stuffed animals and loves to shop, although she tends to squander her money and usually doesn't have any when she really needs it. Nagisa also has a crush on Honoka's childhood friend, Fujimura Shougo, and gets flustered whenever he is around. At times, she is shown to be envious of Honoka since she gets confessions and love letters from boys more than twice a month.

Deep down, she can be sensitive, and she hates arguing with friends or seeing someone in pain above all else. Nagisa also has a great sense of justice, but it is hidden inside of her and only comes out when someone is in danger. She hates that innocent people get hurt for things they had nothing to do with.

As Cure Black, Nagisa transforms by shouting "Emissary of light, Cure Black!"

Cure Black is Nagisa's alter ego, and she addresses herself as the emissary of light, like Cure White. Being the strongest in the duo, she is usually the one laying the most attacks, though she is not as agile as Cure White. She uses her fists more than Cure White while Cure White uses her legs more when attacking. As a Cure, she becomes much more serious and reveals more of her views on justice. Later in the season, the two Cures are powered-up by the Rainbow Bracelets. It is also revealed that even though Cure White is not around, Cure Black can use incredible powers by herself, but this depends largely on her emotions and will. The most significant time this is shown is when the Seeds of Darkness kidnap White and tell Black that she (Cure White) will soon die. They recall this event often in the later season, and Cure Black's power will often spike when she is in great indignation. Additionally, while Cure White and Cure Black have both shown to have fairly impressive physical feats while de-transformed, Cure Black has actually been able to defend direct attacks from one of the Seeds of Darkness, Regine, without getting hurt.

Attacks: Marble Screw: Cure Black and Cure White's very first finisher. She holds hands with Cure White, and she initiates the attack by summoning crackling black lightning from her hands, and in turn, Cure White does the same with her respective color. They declare the attack's accompanying catchphrase and name and together, they fire the lightning blast at the enemy.

Rainbow Storm: With the power of the Rainbow Bracelets, Cure Black and Cure White hold hands and shoot a beam of rainbow-colored energy in a similar manner as Marble Screw.

Rainbow Therapy: A purifying attack that is used on possessed humans and animals.

Marble Screw Max: A powered-up version of Marble Screw, with Cure Black and Cure White charging their lightning energy and then shouting out "Max!", before bringing forth a powerful beam of black and white lightning.

Marble Screw Max Spark: An even more powerful version of Marble Screw Max, greatly enhanced by the Sparkle Bracelets. The lightning beam in Marble Screw Max grows into an even larger blast of rainbow energy with black and white lightning being emitted in the attack.

Extreme Luminario: A group attack she performs with Cure White and Shiny Luminous. Shiny Luminous summons the Heartiel Baton, in order for Cure Black and Cure White to start the attack incantations after their individual poses. Cure Black and Cure White hold hands, then draw back their hands until a giant rainbow heart appears before them. A shining explosion of light is shot out from the heart.

Extreme Luminario Max: The ultimate version of Extreme Luminario. When Cure Black and White thrust their hands forward, this time, they shout out "Max!", before a surge of bright, shining light fused with black and white lightning bursts out and continually grows larger and larger.
