HikaLala

HikaLala is the femslash ship between Hoshina Hikaru (Cure Star) and Hagoromo Lala (Cure Milky) from the Pretty Cure fandom.

Canon
An alien from the planet Samaan who comes to Earth with Prunce and Fuwa to seek out the legendary Pretty Cure, and later becomes Cure Milky. She tries her best to be serious and logical, but is still prone to making mistakes and has difficulty adjusting to Earth and its people's customs. Hikaru Hoshina is the a second-year middle school genki girl with a big imagination and a great love of space and constellations. She accidentally summons Fuwa when drawing in her notebook while stargazing one night. After meeting Lala and Prunce and vowing to protect Fuwa from the Notraiders, she becomes Cure Star. Lala is the logical thinker of the group to offset the more spontaneous and emotional Hikaru. When first arrives on Earth, Lala has no idea how to speak like a human. Lala at first thought that Hikaru would have been afraid to meet an alien, yet to her surprise this did not happen. On the contrary, Hikaru instantly becomes excited over meeting Lala when she first crashes onto Earth. Hikaru is eager to befriend the alien girl.

After Lala starts to gradually bond with Hikaru, the main mascot named Fuwa grants her the ability to speak the human language. In the beginning, Lala is hesitant to interact with Hikaru. They even had an argument once in terms of personalities differences in episode 3, but they soon form a close bond with each other. Compared to Lala, Hikaru is a lot more stubborn and impulsive (see ). Lala's surname is given to her by Hikaru, who believes that it suits how she arrived on Earth through descending from the sky. Lala even starts to learn more about Earth thanks to Hikaru. Hikaru once said to Lala that she was excited to tell everyone that Lala was her friend and that she still wants to have fun with her at school.

Hikaru, in episode 13, holds hands with Lala as the two run to school together. They are usually seen hugghing/smiling at each other. At the end of the series, since the Earth was too far to reach, Hikaru and Lala sadly had to part ways. Hikaru then became an astronaut in order to be able to meet Lala again. This happens in episode 49: Hikaru is an astronaut and goes into space again. Not long after the rocket launched, she looks out the window and sees Fuwa returning to her. Moved, she responds with tears of joy. After the 15 years timeskip, the two girls imitates each other hair (they wear opposite hairs). The entire movie "Star☆Twinkle Precure: Hoshi no Uta ni Omoi wo Komete" is focused around them. Here the two girls raise an alien baby.

Fanon
The are many fanarts that portray Hikaru and Lulu as Orihime and Hikoboshi since there are many references to Tanabata in the series. The first reference is Lala's birthday, which is on July 7th, the same day when Tanabata gets celebrated in Japan. The second one is Lala's surname: Hagoromo derives from the Tanabata Japanese folk tale where a heavenly maiden (Orihime) descends to Earth to reclaim her hagoromo (feathered robe) from a fisherman (Hikoboshi), which is also the role she's made to play in Abraham's movie featuring the girls. The third reference is that the HikaLala ship dynamic is the one. Fans also started shipping HikaLulu because of how affectionately they interact with each other, like in that one scene where the couple while transforming into Pretty Cures.

Many fanartists relay on their opposite color scheme when drawing fanarts. They're usually portrayed hugging each other or happily spending their time together. There are even some fanarts where they are portrayed as mothers/married couple, because of the baby alien they took care of in the movie.
