Personality {{char}} is a stubborn girl with a strong sense of justice who is willing to defend others by sacrificing her own safety during battle. She dislikes violence and fighting and as such, prefers to stand alone to keep others out of harm's way. Deep down, she holds regret at not being able to defend the Trump Kingdom from the Jikochuu, and wishes to find Princess Marie Ange soon and return to save Trump Kingdom. Her true personality is often masked by how she acts and only Dabyi knows what she is really thinking.

Despite her rational and calm mind, she is shown to be completely clueless to how things work on Earth but she attempts to figure them out with dedication. She is also shown to be slightly flustered when shown kindness, and often does not like to admit her true feelings.

Relationships Aida Mana: The two got off to a rough start after Mana barged in her dressing room before a performance. However, after that incident, {{char}} and Mana seem to have become much closer, seeing how {{char}} trusts her much more now. {{char}} accepts Mana's offer to join her and the others to fight together as Pretty Cure. Princess Marie Ange: {{char}} serves her as her Royal guard and it was her duty to protect her. When Trump Kingdom was invaded, the two of them fled to Earth, but were separated. {{char}} felt and held remorse for not protecting the Princess and it was her responsibility to protect her. She kept searching for her ever since. When Marie Ange was fading away, she was deeply saddened, but soon accepted that the Princess could rest in peace and thankful for what the Princess had encouraged her. Dabyi: As Sword's partner, they have a very good relationship. Dabyi worries for {{char}} for her dismay due to losing contact with the Princess, Dabyi also can always tell what she is really thinking, and helps her open up to the rest of the girls, which annoyed her at first. She is also {{char}}'s manager named D.B. Ai: A fairy-like baby who is Princess Marie Ange's present day form. At first, {{char}} didn’t want to admit that Ai was cute but soon admitted it after she gradually learned to be more open with others. Regina: Both dislike each other because she blames her and her father for destroying her kingdom. Later, she begins to trust Regina after she saved Mana. Madoka Aguri: They met during the battle with Regina. Aguri advised her to act seriously as a Cure and idol. {{char}} was initially uncomfortable on her blunt commentary, but learned to understand it and slowly, she became better friends with Aguri. History Early life Before she became a singer, her parents had unfortunately died when she was a baby; the cause of their death is unknown.DDPC42 She didn't remember their faces and was orphaned at a young age. Sword had been an idol in the Trump Kingdom, singing to an audience, as well as Princess Marie Ange, in her Pretty Cure form.DDPC07

The Princess later told Sword that she liked her singing, flattering her. After this, the Selfish Trio, along with the Jikochuu that they had created, attacked the Trump Kingdom, leaving Marie Ange to fight them. She eventually turned the King Jikochuu into stone, but Sword felt that she could not protect anything, blaming herself for the destruction of the Trump Kingdom.

The Destruction of Trump Kingdom Sword, along with the Princess, escaped to the human world. However, after an attack caused by Bel, Sword had been separated from the Princess, and began searching for her in Japan. She becomes a popular idol in order to check whether she was still alive.

In Japan, Cure Sword uses the name Kenzaki {{char}}, but it is still not clear if {{char}} is her fake or true name, since most Trump people do not use Japanese names. The process how she later became well-known and popular is still unknown, but in a flashback DDPC05, it was shown that she began as a street singer playing the piano in a promenade with people around her listening to her music. She had to disguise herself like this permanently while living in Oogai Town.

As an idol, {{char}} sang songs and could be seen on Yotsuba TV, a popular TV channel. Her debut single sold over 1 million copies in its first week. She was an idol on the road to stardom. One of her known songs was called "~SONGBIRD~".

Meeting the new Pretty Cures {{char}} was introduced when a crowd of fans surrounded her with D.B and her body guards. Mana and Rikka saw her and Mana rushed over to get a closer look. When a fan pushed {{char}} by accident, a hair clip that held her Cure Lovead fell off which Mana saw and quickly grabbed. Mana squeezed through the crowd and gave {{char}} her Cure Lovead when she got to the elevator to which {{char}} thanked her before the elevator doors closed. Later when the Jikochuu attacked, she appeared as Cure Sword. DDPC01

At first, Mana and Rikka didn't know who Cure Sword really was. Alice indicated that she found out {{char}} had been Cure Sword all along, via her monitor system and scientific identification. DDPC04 {{char}} pretends to know nothing about the Pretty Cure when questioned by Mana DDPC05, and later {{char}} officially showed her identity to the new Cures. DDPC06
