CARROLL AND PRETTY CURE

The latest continuity of Pretty Cure (a celebrated magical girl series) features a playing card theme and, quite obviously, a pair of shout-outs to Carroll's Alice books:

One of the pets that help the heroines transform into their magical selves, and the first one to show up: a rabbit (a pink one, not a white one, but nevertheless a bunny) that goes by the name of Charles (though pronounced "SHARR-le", as in French), perhaps named after Lewis Carroll.

And here is one of the four heroines. She might be cute, graceful, wealthy, artistic... but don't let the first impression fool you: she's incredibly strong when she loses her temper: the reason why she has got to practice hard self-control.

Her name? Alice Yotsuba (her surname means "four-leaf", as in four-leaf clover)
