The lily of the valley (also not a real lily!) represents humility, purity, and happiness
[Image description: Watercolor portrait depicting Cure Egret from Futari Wa Pretty Cure Splash Star. Cure Egret has long purple hair tied in a high ponytail, purple eyes, and wears a white dress with featherlike sleeves. She also wears a flower crown made of a stem of lily of the valley flowers. She stands to the right of the page, one hand raised up. Behind her is a stem of lily of the valley flowers.]
The gloriosa, also called the flame lily (despite not being a real lily) represents passion, pride, honor, and beauty
[Image description: Watercolor portrait of Cure Bloom from Futari Wa Pretty Cure Splash Star. Cure Bloom has short spiky golden hair (does it count as a mullet? I don’t know), gold eyes, and wears a pink and yellow multi-layered dress. In addition to her regular Cure uniform, she also wears a flower crown made of pink and yellow gloriosa flowers. She jumps to the left of the page with one arm raised and a wide smile. Behind her are trailing gloriosa flowers.]
[ID: Digital full body drawing of Cure Bloom (left) and Cure Egret (right) from Splash Star. They’re facing forward, looking at each other, and holding hands. Bloom has her right hand raised in a fist pump and a confident smile. Egret has her left hand held close to her chest and a smaller, quiet smile. End ID.]
I just realized I never posted the art from the Splash Star video. Here are the girlfriends in all their glory!
NEW VIDEO: It’s time to talk about Splash Star, the PreCure series that…um…came after Max Heart. Is that really all there is to say about it? (Video has captions!)
