9 Yukari Kotozume/Cure Macaron (Pretty Cure A La Mode)
Considered the most elegant of the Pretty Cure a la Mode team, Yukari Kotozume (aka Cure Macaron) lives up to her Parisian-inspired aesthetic. And with her long purple locks and feminine aura, Yukari's beauty often juxtaposes her egotistical personality.
