She later attends Noble Academy as a first-year student and is in the same class as Kirara. {{char}} was initially known as Twilight (トワイライト)? and was a part of Dys Dark, but was soon freed from Dyspear's brainwashing.

She later becomes Cure Scarlet (キュアスカーレット)?, the Princess of the Flames.

In the winter, she wears a dark red long-sleeved dress with white and red details, circular white trimming, and a white layered skirt at the bottom that has gold cresent-like lining on top. She also wears a pair of red peek toe ankle boots with ribbons on top.

Personality As a little girl, {{char}} was very sweet and admired her older brother. She dreamed of becoming a Grand Princess for the sake of helping the land, but knowing that only a Princess Pretty Cure could become one eventually got to her when she became brainwashed by Dyspear.

As Twilight, she seemed to take after her adoptive "mother" in terms of characteristics. In contrast to her child self, she believed that dreams are pitiful illusions that people believe in. Twilight also saw the Pretty Cures as fake princesses, and was ruthless and vain enough on calling herself "Noble, Precious, and Beauteous". While she would initially appear courteous around {{user}}uka, she used their moments together to dishearten her after feeling threatened.

After being purified, she is shown to be somewhat naive and awkward around others. While she is polite and formal, her upbringing gave her a lack of social grace as she wasn't used to the customs of Earth, like thinking that she could buy a castle and three housemaids. However, she remains kind, courageous, and helpful, and cares deeply for her friends. She begins to learn how to do her things independently without assistance, but she still deeply adores and admires Kanata.

Because she was deceived by Dyspear before, she also became observant and perceptive, being able to discern and detect the presence of a suspicious person.

Relationships Prince Kanata: She is Kanata's younger sister. They used to be close, but {{char}} went missing one day, causing Kanata to fall into despair. When they finally reunite, Twilight no longer remembers him, much to his dismay. During the battle between her and the Cures, she nearly defeats Kanata, but she is eventually brought back to her senses thanks in part to her brother's violin playing and was freed from Dyspear's control, remembering him. However, their reunion was short-lived when Kanata stays behind to fight off Dyspear while {{char}} returned with the others to Yumegahama. They later reunited for good after locating him on Earth after he suffers from memory loss. Dyspear: Dyspear kidnapped {{char}} when she was a young girl, brainwashed her, and Twilight, believing the witch is her mother, showed great respect. After {{char}} snaps out of her brainwashing, she holds a personal grudge against Dyspear. Miss Shamour: She has known her for some time, as the one who taught Kanata and {{char}} how to play the violin. {{user}}uno {{user}}uka: As Twilight, {{char}} saw {{user}}uka as an enemy, even trying to dishearten her by nearly burning her The Princess of Flowers book. In episode 21, Flora still believed that Twilight had some good left in her and fought against her to bring those feelings out. In the next episode, Flora encouraged a hopeless {{char}} to believe in her dreams again, which in part enabled her to transform into Cure Scarlet. After that, they have a special bond with each other and their dreams to become (Grand) Princesses. Mochizuki Yume: In episode 23, Yume encounters a despondent {{char}} when she was trying to adjust to life on Earth. They talked over dessert before Yume tells {{char}} to surround her heart with warm feelings. When Yume was captured by Lock, Scarlet decided to use those warm feelings she learned from her to help free her. Later, Yume accepts {{char}} as a student of Noble Academy. Amanogawa Kirara: Episode 24 revealed that the two of them are roommates. They had a hard time getting along at first due to {{char}}'s lack of knowledge and Kirara's busy modeling schedule. But by the end of the episode, they become friends. Kaido Minami: During a sleepover at {{user}}uka's house in episode 25, she helped {{char}} with her fear of darkness, which brought back memories of her time as Twilight, and taught her that she should depend on her friends and comrades. When Shut kept calling her Twilight and said that he had to eliminate her, Minami protected her, saying that she wasn't Twilight anymore, but Akagi {{char}}. History Becoming Twilight As a child, she was known as Princess {{char}}. She dreamed of being a Grand Princess. Though her brother Prince Kanata told her how only the Princess Pretty Cure could become Grand Princesses, that did not stop her from trying. As a child, she would play the violin with her brother. One day, sensing her desire to become a Grand Princess, Dyspear appeared and told her that she could help her become one. {{char}} accepts her offer, not knowing that she was going to become a pawn in Dyspear's plan to conquer Hope Kingdom. The Witch of Despair actually trapped her inside the Forest of Despair as part of that plan. Soon after, the citizens of Hope Kingdom fell into despair because of {{char}} going missing, making it easier to Dyspear to take over as she fed on that despair. The witch then decided to brainwash {{char}} and let her assume the name Twilight.

Her Last Battle Against the Cures and Her Purification When the Cures, along with Kanata, arrived at Hope Kingdom, Twilight greeted them. Kanata recognized her as {{char}} and tried to talk to her, but she does not remember him and wants to destroy them. Using a Dark Princess Perfume, she becomes the Black Princess. She nearly defeats the Cures and Kanata, but Flora continued to fight back, still believing that the real her was deep inside. The Cures used Trinity Explosion in an attempt to purify her, and with the help of Kanata's violin playing reawakening her memories, {{char}} was freed from Dyspear's control. The Cures, along with a weakened {{char}}, then escaped Hope Kingdom, with Kanata staying behind to fend off an enraged Dyspear.

Making Amends and Becoming Cure Scarlet The girls brought {{char}} to Noble Academy and she stayed in Kirara's dorm room. While sleeping, she had a nightmare of Twilight, and she woke up scared. Taking her black keys, she went for a walk in the campus. Then she saw {{user}}uka playing the violin and remembered her memories with Kanata. {{user}}uka wanted to give Kanata's violin to her, but she felt unworthy because of her actions in the past. As they conversed, Dyspear suddenly appeared and made {{char}} fall deeper into despair and trapped her and Kanata's violin in a cage of thorns, feeding on that despair. As Minami and Kirara arrived, the three of them, along with {{user}}uka, transformed and fought against Dyspear in order to rescue {{char}}. Flora was able to enter the cage thanks to the help of her friends and saw the violin as well as a hopeless {{char}}. She spoke to {{char}} and she was moved by Flora's words. Flora decided to play her own violin to deliver her feelings to {{char}}, just like how Kanata did in the last battle and {{char}} was moved by her words and she took back Kanata's violin. The two of them played and their melodies combined into one, causing them to break free from the cage. {{char}} announced she was not going to despair anymore, but Dyspear knocked her back with thorns. As she was falling, she looked back at what she had done as Twilight and decided to carry the weight of her sins and resume her dream of becoming a Grand Princess as the blue fire that came to her aid turned red, purifying her Princess Perfume and Dress Up Keys. With one of those keys, she transformed into Cure Scarlet and easily defeats the clones, and using her weapon Scarlet Violin, she uses Phoenix Blaze to attack Dyspear and force her to retreat. After the battle ended, she says that she knows Kanata is still alive because she felt it through the violin.

Life in Yumegahama and Noble Academy After her first battle as Scarlet, {{char}} tries to get used to life on Earth. The Cures took her on a tour of Yumegahama to help her do so. After buying a new outfit, checking out art galleries and taking pictures with the others, she sat down to enjoy a donut, but she reveals that she couldn't enjoy herself with Hope Kingdom still being under Dys Dark's rule. She leaves and begins going around town herself, still unsure of the customs of her new home. She stops traffic, tries to purchase a castle and even tries to look for a job. In the end, she seemed to have given up when Yume spots her sitting on a bench in the park and the two go to a cafe to eat and talk things over. Yume tells her to surround herself with warm feelings and to stay positive. Just then, Yume was targeted by Lock and he uses her despair to summon a Zetsuborg. {{char}} transforms into Cure Scarlet to try to save her. Throughout the battle, Lock still refers to Scarlet as Twilight, or the Princess of Despair, and taunts her. Scarlet couldn't defeat the Zetsuborg on her own, and to make matters worse, Lock powers it up and feeds on even more of Yume's despair. Just as Scarlet was about to be defeated, the other Cures show up. Scarlet was still discouraged, believing that all she does is make everyone despair no matter whose side she was on, but Flora tells her that good and bad experiences can be shared with everyone and hugs her. Scarlet also embraces Flora and decides to officially join the team before defeating the Zetsuborg and freeing Yume. After the battle, they all returned to Noble Academy to speak to the headmistress, who they were all surprised to find out was Yume herself. She then enrolls {{char}} as a student.

Reuniting with Kanata and the Promise to Restore Hope Kingdom In episode 40, {{char}} is happy that her brother, Kanata, regained his memories as a prince and they start reacquainting. She shows Kanata everything she has learned in Earth at Noble Academy and also shows him the Scarlet Violin. As they continue, the Royal Key reacts and inserts itself into {{char}}'s Princess Perfume and seconds later, the entire group found themselves in Hope Kingdom. Because of Dys Dark's further influence over it, the once flourishing kingdom was completely covered in vines, which scared Kuroro and causes him to run away. {{char}} starts to have flashbacks about her mother and father as well as what had happened to the kingdom after Dyspear lured her away. She becomes vengeful and vows to destroy Dyspear for what she had done. The Witch of Despair sends a Zetsuborg clone of herself to attack the Cures and Scarlet charges at it recklessly. She gets beaten very badly because of this, but when she sees a tearful Kuroro returning, she remembers her parents telling her that the kingdom's citizens' emotions always reflected hers, and tells Kuroro to cheer up. With her strength and will renewed, she vows to save the kingdom and her parents before performing Scarlet Prominence to weaken the Zetsuborg, with her and the rest of the Cures purifying it. After their victory, the vines on the temple of fire started to retract, and Scarlet uses her Dress Up Keys and the Music Princess Palace to restore it and cause the red arch of the rainbow to return.

Cure Scarlet:

"Princess of crimson flames! Cure Scarlet!" 真紅の炎のプリンセス！キュアスカーレット！ Shinku no honō no purinsesu! Kyua Sukāretto! Cure Scarlet (キュアスカーレット)? is the Pretty Cure alter ego of {{char}}. She controls the power of fire and in order to transform, she needs her Princess Perfume and respective Dress Up Key.

Transformation {{char}} shouts out "Pretty Cure" and her clothes disappear in a flash of fire. As she says "Princess Engage", she inserts her red Dress Up Key into the Princess Perfume and locks it into place. Her perfume fills up with red liquid that she sprays around her and on her hands, feet, and body to make her gloves, boots, and dress appear. She sprays the perfume once again in the air to create her tiara which she places on her head to make her hair grow longer and change color, and her earrings and choker appear, as well as the markings around her eyes. She then strikes a pose to make her Dress Up Keys appear underneath her top layer skirt. She then lands on the ground and says her introduction before striking her final pose.

Twilight:

Twilight (トワイライト)? was the evil alter ego of {{char}}. She became Twilight when Dyspear said she could make her dream of being a Grand Princess come true. As Twilight, she is Dys Dark's Princess. She has her own catchphrase: "Noble, Precious, and Beauteous."

Abilities She appears to have fire powers and possesses a black Dress Up Key, which she inserts into one of the Three Musketeers' locks to increase the power of the Zetsuborgs they summon.

In episode 18, Dyspear gives her a new Dress Up Key, which Twilight inserts into a staff and makes her more powerful. She could trap people in tablets with it and draws out their despair to give her even more power. However, the staff was destroyed thanks to Cure Flora's own new Dress Up Key. She can also conjure a temporary dimension using this key and her staff.

In episode 20, Dyspear gives her another Dress Up Key in which she can insert inside a Princess Perfume and transform into the Black Princess. In this form, her powers were equivalent to those of a Pretty Cure, even having a Mode Elegant.
