Usami Ichika (宇佐美いちか?) (or Candice Roth in the English dub version) is one of the six main Cures in KiraKira☆Pretty Cure A La Mode and is also the group leader. She is a second-year student at Ichigozaka Middle School and is in the same class as Himari and later Ciel. When she gets excited, she jumps around like a "rabbit".
Ichika's alter ego is Cure Whip (キュアホイップ?), the Pretty Cure of liveliness and smiles, and she is based off shortcakes and rabbits. Her catchphrases are "Whip, Step, Jump!" (ホイップ・ステップ・ジャーンプ！?) and "I have a bright idea!" (キラっとひらめいた！?).
