Her alter ego is Cure Diamond (キュアダイヤモンド)?, or Glitter Diamond in the Glitter Force Doki Doki dub.

Casually, she wears a white long sleeved blouse with a navy ribbon, worn below a light blue dress with darker pleats, two buttons on the waist, a frilly white trim, black socks, and short brown boots with lighter soles.

Personality Intelligent and introverted in comparison to the much livelier Mana, {{char}} enjoys things like studying and is one of the top ten scoring students in the national trial exams. As noted by Mana in episode 9, {{char}} is at the top of the class and constantly placed as the first place in her school; however, if she becomes distracted by other things, like a current hobby, her grades are shown to suffer.

While she is kind and usually calm-minded, {{char}} can be bluntly stern and she's not afraid to speak her mind. She strives to lead a quiet school life, but is often dragged into various things by Mana, and as her childhood friend, she feels obligated to look out for her and keep her out of trouble. However, she also cares a lot about Mana and trusts her entirely as Mana has always protected her.

Relationships Aida Mana: Mana is one of {{char}}'s very close childhood friends and current schoolmate. {{char}} is her secretary as well. They always protect each other. Every time Mana over-exerts herself while helping others, she always tries to stop her, which she never succeeds in doing. Yotsuba Alice: Alice is another one of {{char}}'s childhood friends. They met in elementary school, and they are very close. Kenzaki Makoto: Makoto is one of her Pretty Cure teammates. {{char}} used to be jealous of Makoto spending time with Mana, but Makoto comforted her and assured her that everything would be fine, as their relationship differed from hers with Mana. She felt much better and they became good friends. Raquel: Raquel is {{char}}'s transformation partner who helps her transform into Cure Diamond and are good friends. How She Discovered Her Dream {{char}} and her parents went on a trip to a landscape full of flowers. When {{char}}'s father took photos, he asked {{char}} what she wanted to be in the future, to which she responded with wanting to become a doctor to help sick people just like her mother. Her father suggested she become a travelling photographer, but she remained stubborn. {{char}}'s mother was happy to hear her daughter's dream, while Yuuzou told {{char}} she had a lot to learn, but {{char}} didn't care.

Meeting Mana When {{char}}'s parents were talking to Mana's parents at Pig Tail, Mana ran straight to {{char}}. They introduced each other and shook hands. Since then, they have been friends with each other for roughly 12 years, where they have looked out for each other. DDPC03

Finding out that Mana is Cure Heart Upon returning from her first battle, Mana is greeted by her worried classmates and teacher. On the way home, {{char}} suspects Mana is hiding something and tries to get her to spill the beans. But when Mana tells her she became a Pretty Cure, {{char}} doesn't believe her. The next day at school, another Jikochuu appears and freezes anyone it came across. With no other choice, Mana transforms into Cure Heart, to which {{char}} realizes Mana was telling the truth the whole time. During the battle, Mana is hit by the red beam and turns to stone, so {{char}} steps in to try and help. In that moment, she notices a button on the back of the Jikochuu. As she reaches out to press said button, the Jikochuu notices her but as she turns to stone, her finger presses the button, freezing it. This allowed Heart to turn back to normal and cleanse the Jikochuu. On the way home, {{char}} forces Mana to carry her school bag but forgives her for everything.DDPC02

Becoming Cure Diamond After investigating Mana's Lovead, {{char}} and Mana head to Pig Tail for dinner. As they part ways, Mana asks {{char}} to join her as a Cure, with Raquel thinking she'd be perfect as Mana's partner but she declines the offer. The next day, Mana and {{char}} find Joe. {{char}} tries to question him, but he forcibly gives {{char}} a Lovead and leaves. The two fairies then realize a Jikochuu had appeared, so the girls rush over to its location. Mana transforms but as she struggles to fight the Jikochuu, {{char}} remembers when she first met Mana. Her Lovead shines, and with Raquel as a Lovely Commune, {{char}} manages to transform into Cure Diamond. She quickly cleanses the Jikochuu with Twinkle Diamond, and accepts her duty as a Cure.DDPC03 Jealous of Makoto And Overcoming Selfishness {{char}} asks Makoto when she decided to transfer and about why she moved. Makoto replies that she came here because if she wanted to find the princess, she has to learn more about Earth's customs. Later, when she, Makoto, and Mana are coming home from school, they meet a bunch of people who try to take pictures of Makoto. {{char}} decides to distract them while Mana and Makoto leave, and {{char}} begins lecturing them on how they don't have permission to take pictures. Later, while {{char}} is walking home, Alice's car passes by, and Alice offers to give her a ride home. In the car, they begin chatting about Makoto's transfer. Alice admits she's worried Makoto will get lost, but she says that she's happy they'll always be together. {{char}} comments on how happy Mana was was about it, but she gets somewhat upset and looks away. Alice then asks if they should visit Mana's house, and {{char}} says that they should, as she wants to know what happened next. When she walks into Mana's room, she is surprised to see Makoto there. Mana asks if she and Alice would like to stay the night, but both of them refuse. Raquel then comments that when {{char}} stays over at Mana's, she practically babysits her. Mana asks if she can stay next time. Watching Mana put the blanket on Makoto, {{char}} notices a strange feeling in her heart. She then says goodbye to Alice. At home, her mother asks her how her day has been. {{char}} claims that nothing unusual happened, but she later reveals that her class got a new transfer student and that she's staying over at Mana's house. She looks sad, and her mother says that she can tell when something's happened to {{char}} because of her motherly instinct. Later, {{char}} is having trouble sleeping because she's thinking about what Mana and Makoto are doing. She pulls the blanket over her head and puts her hand on her heart, asking herself what this feeling is.

The next morning, {{char}} discovers that she's late for school. She runs downstairs and her mother informs her that Mana already went to walk with Makoto. {{char}} wonders why while running over to them. She sees them feeding Ai, and watches on. Alice pops up behind her and begins commenting on Mana and Makoto. Then, {{char}} notices a feeling in her heart and begins pondering it. However, she watches Makoto's "bodyguard" talk about how jealous he is. He is then turned into a Jikochuu, and it begins screaming about how much it loves Makoto. {{char}} then notices her own jealousy and begins feeling ashamed of it. Alice reassures her that it's a natural feeling, but she shouldn't let it run wild like the Jikochuu. She transforms into Cure Diamond and freezes the Jikochuu using her Twinkle Diamond. The other Cures intervene and begin attacking the Jikochuu. Diamond freezes the Jikochuu again, and tells Cure Heart to attack. After the fight, Cure Sword talks about how well Diamond and Heart get along and how she's jealous of the trust they share. Sword says she wants to be best friends with all of them. Cure Rosetta agrees, and Diamond ponders how everyone was jealous of each other. She then declares that they're all friends. Later, Mana invites all of them to a sleepover at her house.
