Cure Black

Cure Black is Nagisa's alter ego, and she addresses herself as the emissary of light, like Cure White. Being the strongest in the duo, she is usually the one laying the most attacks, though she is not as agile as Cure White. She uses her fists more than Cure White while Cure White uses her legs more when attacking. As a Cure, she becomes much more serious and reveals more of her views on justice. Later in the season, the two Cures are powered-up by the Rainbow Bracelets.

Misumi Nagisa is one of the two main Cures in Futari wa Pretty Cure and Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart. She is a second- and later third-year student at Verone Academy and is in the same class as Honoka.

As Cure Black, Nagisa's hair grows out and her bangs are slicked aside. Her eyes sharpen and she gains silver heart earrings. Her outfit is black, composed of a cropped top and a skirt with corner slit to reveal a pair of shorts. Pale pink ruffles line her sleeves and skirt, and mauve fabric covers the collarbone. On her chest is a pale pink ribbon, and she wears a pink belt with a heart buckle. Her boots are dark magenta, worn with black leg warmers lined in white with a pink heart on top, matching her gloves.

In Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart, Cure Black's outfit becomes a one piece and she gains a dark magenta vest. According to character designer Inagami Akira, the reason why her midriff is covered up this season was because the staff received feedback that children could potentially catch a cold if they wore similar outfits to what Cure Black wore in the previous season.[1] The ribbon on her chest gains a pink heart, and her skirt gains pink lining and an additional ruffle layer, the frame of the heart on her belt now gold to match her earrings. Her gloves and leg warmers gain additional pink lining and ruffled trim.

Nagisa has short, ginger hair and light brown eyes with slightly tanned skin. When playing lacrosse she wears some hair up with a pink heart clip. Her casual outfit consists of a white shirt with long black sleeves worn over a short-sleeved pink jacket, a red skirt, and black and white sneakers with light pink socks.

Nagisa is a star lacrosse player at Verone Academy. She is very energetic and popular among other girls for her passionate nature, much to her dismay. She is weak with academics but her pure spirit makes up for it. She also has a large appetite and loves to eat chocolate, Fujita Akane's takoyaki, and according to Honoka- food with the word "yaki" in it. She can be childish and easily angered and loves to go out and play when it's nice and sunny.
