History[]
Becoming Silhouette[]
Nagisa was exploring the Dark Zone with her best friend, Yukishiro Honoka. As they gathered enough information and were getting ready to leave, enemies sprang out of nowhere. They were taken to the Dark King, where he turned to duo to stone. When the Dark King heard that Nagisa and Honoka's daughters, Fujimura Aika and Tanaka Masami, had become Pretty Cure years later, he freed Nagisa and Honoka, but he brainwashed them and they assumed the names Silhouette and Witch.
Relationships[]
Yukishiro Honoka - Nagisa and Honoka are best friends, but after both became brainwashed, they referred to each other as enemies, and they want to see who is the better enemy to Pretty Cure.
Fujimura Aika - Nagisa is the mysterious woman in Aika's dreams. It is later revealed that Nagisa is Aika's mother, and went missing with her best friend on a special mission, but the duo never came back. Aika has made it her lifelong goal to save her mother.
Cure Black[]
"Emissary of light, Cure Black!"
光の使者、キュアブラック!
Hikari no shisha, Kyua Burakku!
Cure Black (キュアブラック Kyua Burakku) is the Pretty Cure alter ego of Nagisa. She controls the power of thunder. She can transform by saying the phrase, "Dual Aurora Wave!", but she no longer needs Mepple. Her main attack is Black Thunder, which can only be performed in her Forever Form.
Attacks[]
Black Thunder (ブラックサンダー Burakku Sandā) is Cure Black's main attack, which can only be used with the Black Key inserted into her Earth Light Wand.
Yin Thunder (陰サンダー In Sandā) is Cure Black's second attack, which can only be used with the Yin Key inserted into her Earth Light Wand.
Extreme Heart Sky Jewel (エクストリームハートスカイジュエル Ekusutorīmu Hāto Sukai Jueru) is Cure Black's attack with Cure Sunburst, Cure Moonbeam, Shiny Luminous and Cure White, which can only be used in their Forever Forms, and the Sunset, Glittering Moon, Angel, Yin and Yang Keys inserted into the Cure Sky Sticks, Luminous Heart Baton and Earth Light Wands.
Silhouette[]
"Commander of Light, Cure Black Mint!"
光の司令官、キュアブラックミント!
Black Mint (ブラックミント Burakku Minto) is the alternative alter ego of Nagisa. She became Black Mint when she was brainwashed during transformation.
Abilities[]
She can control the power of thunder and possesses a PepperMintz, which she uses to make her powers more strongly.
In Episode 35, the Dark King remembers how Witch was defeated and turned back into Yukishiro Honoka, and since he didn't want that to happen to Silhouette (who was one of his most powerful warriors), so he gave her a new black Sky Jewel Key, and was able to become much more powerful. Her powers were then equivalent to those of a Pretty Cure, even having her own Forever Form.
Etymology[]
Misumi (美墨): Mi (美) translates to "beauty" while Sumi (墨) means "ink".
Nagisa (なぎさ?): A common girl's name in Japanese. While it can be partially translated into many different kanjis, the most common translation as a single kanji is "渚", which means "water's edges; beach; shore".
Therefore, Misumi Nagisa means "beautiful ink shore". This could be a pun because ink is mostly black in colour, which may be referring to her alter ego as Cure Black.
Her name was changed to Natalie Blackstone, also called Nat by her friends and also called Natalie Ferguson, for the English dub.
Natalie means "Christmas Day" in Latin natale domini. It may also come from the French given name, which is derived from the Latin "Dies Natalis," meaning "Natal Day" or "birthday" in reference to the birth of Christ, and was traditionally given to girls born around Christmas. Nat is the nickname her friends use, and upon becoming friends with Hannah Whitehouse, she lets her call her that instead of her full name. This nickname was created in order to properly edit off the fact that in the original, they began calling each other by their first names rather than by their surnames, which is a special honor in Japanese culture.
Blackstone is a pun about her alter ego as Cure Black.
Ferguson is a Scottish surname and given name. The surname is a patronymic form of the personal name Fergus. The name Fergus is derived from the Gaelic elements fear ("man") and gus ("vigour", "force", or "choice").
