Gelos

Gelos (ジェロス Jerosu^?) is a villain from HUGtto! Pretty Cure. She works for the Criasu Corporation in the Azababu branch.

Appearance

Gelos is a tall woman with short dark green hair with red highlights styled in a bob. She has yellow eyes and wears noticeable purple eyeshadow and lipstick. She also has a beauty mark on the lower corner of her left eye. She wears a long dark red dress with black sleeves and a dark yellow coat hangs on her shoulders like a cape.

Personality

Gelos has a habit of using English words or phrases when talking. She also hates emotions like friendship and love and always fears of losing her youthful beauty.

However, rejecting the importance of emotions is proven to be her undoing and eventual downfall. Due to wanting to get rid of Jinjin & Takumi for her own standing and selfish reasons, she ironically got rid of the ones who genuinely cares for her. This eventually led to her descend towards madness due to rejection from others.

It was later revealed that the reason behind Gelos' desire to stop time so as to prevent herself from aging was due to her perceiving that she was only loved when young. Fortunately, Jinjin & Takumi intervened in time, helping her realize that it was not entirely true and that she'll still have love within her no matter the age. This results in Gelos breaking down in tears of joy and distress, giving the Cures an opening to purify her.^HuPC45

Abilities

Like her 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/Mou-Oshimaida with the words "I'm ordering you! (Mou-)Oshimaida!"(発注！（猛！）オシマイダー！ Hacchū! (Mō!) Oshimaidā!^?).

In episode 34, she can change into her dark side form.

Relationship

• Listol - Her superior.
• Papple and Daigan - Her former colleagues, with the former being her rival.
• JinJin and Takumi - Her former subordinates whom she regards as worthless. She even mercilessly punished them for toying with Doctor Traum's prototype invention by forcefully fusing them and calling them as her slaves. However, she now accepts the two to serve her again after her purification.
• George Kurai - Her boyfriend after George himself cheated on Papple. The status of their relationship is currently unknown after she is purified.

Etymology

"Gelos" is a play on "Lost Generation", a reference to the era she's from (see trivia item below).

Trivia

• In contrast with Papple, who is from the "Bubble" era, Gelos's style is from the immediately following period called the "Lost Decade" (about 1991-2000, or sometimes 1991-2010).
• Gelos is modeled after Blouson Chiemi (ブルゾンちえみ Buruzon Chiemi^?), a comedian who often plays characters from that era, particularly careerwomen like Gelos. The platform boots that Gelos wears are a style that was popular in the 1990s. The two handsome male attendants that appear during Gelos's (Mou-)Oshimaida summoning dance are references to two younger members of Blouson's group.
