Houjou, Hibiki

北条響

Hibiki is a 14-year-old second-year student in Class A at Private Aria Academy junior high. She possesses a bright personality, excels in sports, and serves as a free assistant across all sports clubs, though she struggles with her schoolwork. Despite her parents being celebrities in the music industry, Hibiki believes she lacks musical talent, even though she has perfect pitch. She played the piano as a child but paused for a while after feeling she had disappointed her father following a performance. She also enjoys eating sweets, particularly the cakes from Kanade's family shop.
After meeting Siren, her potential as a Pretty Cure was awakened when she and Kanade became immune to Siren's attack; through her musical score, she transforms into Cure Melody. As Cure Melody, her normally brown-orange hair takes on a light pink tint and is tied into extra-long twin-tails. Her theme colors are various shades of pink, and her Fairy Tone is Dory. Her main weapon is the Miracle Belltier, which utilizes the Fairy Tone Miry. In the movie, she receives an upgrade to Crescendo Mode granted by the Crescendo Tone, and in TV episode 47, all four members become Crescendo Pretty Cures as well.
She introduces herself as "Playing the wild tune, Cure Melody!" (Tsumabiku wa araburu shirabe! Kyua Merodi!). In Crescendo Form, she introduces herself as "Playing the heart's tune, Crescendo Cure Melody!" (Tsumabiku wa kokoro no shirabe! Kureshendo Kyua Merodi!).
