Lia Hua

Lia Hua is one of the main Cures from the seventh installment's fan sequel, Heartcatch Pretty Cure! Cosmic. Her alter ego is Cure Lotus (キュアロータス).

Cure Lotus
The flower rising in life, Cure Lotus! 生活で上昇する一輪の花, キュアロータス！ Seikatsu de joushou suru ichirin no hana, Kyua Rootasu!

Etymology
Lia Hua's name is particularly an origin of Liánhuā (莲花), a Chinese translation for "lotus".

Her Cure ego, Cure Lotus, is also based on her civilian name, a flower known as the Latin term, Nelumbo nucifera, and a common symbol of many regions of China. Because she is known as the Flower of Purity, the lotus symbolizes purity.

Trivia

 * Lia Hua's early design, Natsuhime Kumota, is presented to be different, such as her Japanese nationality, and her Cure ego, Cure Zinnia.
 * Before Lia Hua was created, Kalinka Cossack, from Mega Man 4, is nominated as the final Pretty Cure. Her alter ego reveals to be Angel Lotus (エンジェル ロータス). Sadly according to my thoughts of revising Heartcatch Pretty Cure! Cosmic, both the Mega Man female characters, Roll and Kalinka, are omitted. If so, then these characters may cause a copyright issue for Capcom. That especially goes to the Bobobo characters, Beauty and Suzu, despite of the show being created also by Toei.
