Papple

Papple (パップル Pappuru?) is a former villain from ''[https://prettycure.fandom.com/wiki/HUGtto!_Pretty_Cure HUGtto! Pretty Cure]''. She is a young adult woman who works for the Criasu Corporation as section chief in the Azababu branch office. She is purified by Cure Macherie and Cure Amour in episode 22.

Appearance
Papple wears a short purple dress that leaves her sides bare and has a high hemline, fishnet stockings and stiletto heels. Over her dress she wears a long coat that's black on the outside and red on the inside and has a fur collar. She wears a gold necklace, earrings and bracelets. She also carries a feather-trimmed fan that she uses to gesture. Her medium-length black hair is styled into a large wave on top, with purple streaks in it. She also wears noticeable makeup.

Personality
In her initial appearance, Papple was a coquettish and pushy woman who maintained an energetic and bubbly facade. She was also quite nasty and unsympathetic even to her colleagues, especially towards Ruru whom she regarded as a "mechanical doll".

Nonetheless, deep inside her heart, she desperately yearns for love and was extremely grief-stricken after realizing George cheated on her. Fortunately, after her purification, she is now more friendly towards the Cures despite still having a bit of her temper intact.

Abilities
Like her other colleagues, she calls forth a victim's Prickly Powerer with the words "Hope for tomorrow, begone! Negative Wave!" (明日への希望よ消えろ！ネガティブウェーブ! Asu e no kibō yo kiero! Negatibu Uēbu!?). She can then turn this power into an Oshimaida with the words "I'm ordering you! Oshimaida!" (発注！オシマイダー！Hacchū! Oshimaidā!?).

She can also use her fan as a weapon, using it to defeat multiple Mou-Oshimaida in episode 47, and can also defend herself with it.

Relationships

 * Listol, Daigan - Her superiors at Criasu.
 * Charaleet - One of her colleagues (lower ranked) at Criasu. She sees him as a good-for-nothing who keeps failing because he doesn't follow company protocol.
 * Ruru - Another of her colleagues. In episode 7, she actually tries to bond girl-to-girl with Ruru, only for her to fail to understand love.
 * Gelos - Her junior and rival at Criasu.
 * George - Her ex-boyfriend. The two were shown to be close with each other until Papple caught him cheating on her with Gelos.

Trivia

 * Papple's flashy style and peculiar speech are stereotypical of rich young women from the so-called "Bubble" era (about 1986-1991).
 * In keeping with this, the taxi she uses for transportation appears to be a Toyota Crown Comfort (a popular model for taxis) from the same period, and the portable phone she uses to summon her Oshimaidas is a late '80s type.
 * Papple shares her voice actress with Amanogawa Stella from Go! Princess Pretty Cure.
