Mortal Kombat 1 x PreCure Kombatant Profile: Nao Stryker (nee Midorikawa)/Cure March.

Note, her face model is based off Marina Inoue, her Smile PreCure seiyu with Danielle Judovits reprising her role from Glitter Force. Her default appearance would be the same as her Smile PreCure costume save for a belt holster worn to hold her pistol (based on a P320 M17) and an assault rifle (based on a SIG Sauer MCX 6.8x51) slung on her back.

Bio:

The eldest of seven siblings and hailing from the city of Rainbow Hills in the USA , Nao Midorikawa often had to end up taking care of her siblings when her parents were away serving in the city council during her childhood , cooking and babysitting for them. It's this experience that led to Nao developing a strong sense of justice and fair play by protecting them from those who would do them harm. After graduating from high school, Nao's strong sense of justice led to her joining the Rainbow Hills Police Department (RHPD), even managing to enter their SWAT team, eventually meeting and marrying Kurtis Stryker whom they have a daughter named April.

Despite starting her family, Nao continued to remain active in the police force. It was her skill as a SWAT that led to her being approached by the RHPD to join a recently formed unit tasked with investigating recent sightings of strange monsters called the Paranormal Activities Unit (PAU) as a squad leader.

During one of the unit's investigations, Nao and her squad encountered two strange fairy like creatures who introduced themselves as Pop and Candy only to be attacked by a much larger monster. Fighting back despite being outmatched, it was her valor and her desire to protect her squadmates that led to her earning herself a Smile Pact.

Transforming into the Pretty Cure of Wind and Breezes; Cure March, she and her squad used a combination of her newly found PreCure powers and police tactics to take down and purify the monster.

The battle between the RHPD's Paranormal Activities Unit and what would be eventually known as the Bad End Kingdom has just begun from that encounter . However, other realms besides the Bad End Kingdom would soon take an interest in Rainbow Hills such as Outworld, eventually drawing Cure March into a conspiracy by Shang Tsung's Titan counterpart to destroy the New Era.

Tower Ending:

(Shot of Cure March reviewing cases of various Bad End Kingdom attacks in the headquarters of the PAU, with the display screen showing various Bad End Kingdom attacks stepping up in intensity).

"Shang Tsung's Titan self proved just as bad as the Bad End Kingdom. With his defeat, the Bad End Kingdom took the opportunity to step up their attacks on Earthrealm itself . While we managed to valiantly fight off their attacks, we were left overstretched."

(Shot of Cure March meeting Jax, Kenshi, Cure Wing, Cure Prism and Cure Marine amongst other representatives of the Outer World Investigation Agency that fades to Cure March shaking hands with Kenshi)

"Fortunately, Kenshi has heard of our plight together with other PreCure teams. With the newly formed OIA, he managed to share resources between the PAU in the forms of manpower and equipment. Other PreCure teams also managed to offer their aid, helping us deal with the Bad End Kingdom."

(Shot of Cure March leading the Smile PreCures in the forefront together with other OIA personnel led by Kenshi to fend off yet another Bad End Kingdom attack, her firing off her assault rifle into an Akanbe as Kenshi takes down another Akanbe with Sento.)

"Candy has also found PreCures for me to work with. They may be literal middle schoolers and a little wet around the ears compared to me, but we will fight together with both the PAU and OIA to protect everyone's smiles in Earthrealm!"
