Inori Yamabuki (also called "Buki" by her friends) is a 14-year-old student at Christian Private White Clover Academy. She has a fond for animals, and she aspires to be a veterinarian. Her Pickrun, the Kirun, is yellow and has horns on its head, and her alter ego is Cure Pine. She also is the tritagonist of the series, Fresh Pretty Cure!.

Inori may look calm and quiet, but actually suffers from low self-esteem. In order to improve herself, she joins the dancing group with her friends Love and Miki, which they called "Clover". She sometimes lacks common sense and just goes with whatever situation she finds herself in.

Inori is calm, gentle, quiet, and shy, making her stand out somewhat from the other three relatively rambunctious Fresh! Cures. She tends to worry about what others think of her, and gets embarrassed easily. She is very protective of those she cares for, though she usually prefers to avoid disputes whenever possible. While she normally goes with the flow, she can also be quick-witted and nimble when the situation calls for it. She adores animals, and aspires to become a veterinarian like her parents when she is older.

When she is first introduced, Inori is a reserved girl with low self-confidence; she seeks to improve on this aspect of herself, however, and over the course of the series is shown to grow more confident.
