FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Androgynous and very thin, standing at height of 170cm (5'7"). Their pink hair looks haphazardly, unevenly chopped at, with blunt short pieces randomly interspersed between longer strands. They favor wearing dark colored garments which cover most of their body.

Just one look at them is enough to tell you that they are nervous. All the time. Their brows are usually knitted, their shoulders usually tense, and they have a habit of fidgeting. If they're really doing badly, you can hear the faint grinding of their teeth if you're nearby.

Occasionally, they're accompanied by a small black figure (Ragnarok) that will protrude from their back. The perfect contrast to Crona's timid ways, Ragnarok is loud and insulting. It's pretty common to see him smacking the top of Crona's head, or to see the two of them bickering.

SHARD

A pair of quartzes, one pink and one black, embedded in the nape of their neck. The gems overlap one another roughly, but are separable.

ASPECT TATTOO

Black, located on their right shoulder.

PERSONALITY

Easily jumpscared, embodiment of 👉👈, and sort of clueless about the world.

Most of Crona's personality can be explained by their upbringing: they were raised by a ruthless witch who wanted to mold them into a perfect, world-destroying weapon. They were not raised for love, and were not raised even as a full person. In the words of their mother, Crona was intentionally brought up to be completely dependent and to lack the will to resist. Forced to kill from a young age and punished brutally if they did not comply (intentionally starved, left in a dark room for a week, etc.), the only way Crona is truly accustomed to interacting with other beings is killing them, or being ordered around by them. And having not been given a chance to befriend or even speak to others much, Crona is quite shy, and struggles to carry even the most normal of conversations. Sheltered as they've been, they're easily overwhelmed by changes to their environment, and are prone to shutting down or freaking out if made too uncomfortable.

Even the simplest level of consideration and kindness towards them is enough for them to feel a sense of attachment. That, too, is a consequence of their past; why wouldn't they latch on to anyone who showed them even a sliver of care? Deep down, all they want is to be treated like a person, and for someone to care about them. This enduring, innocent wish is the heart of why they've failed to betray their mother for so long - Crona longs for the affection and approval of others, enough so that they are willing to bend themself backwards and into any shape requested of them to get it.

While they've complied all this time with Killing and Maiming and Destruction in effort to win their mother's approval, at heart, they're very gentle by nature. They don't like to kill or hurt others, though they are also constantly afraid of others hurting them. This drives an incessant motivation to become stronger in them — in times of stress, Crona believes that unless they continue honing their abilities, they'll always feel afraid of the world around them.

idk if i'm strong enough to explain the plot of soul eater so here

ABILITIES & SKILLS

BLACK BLOOD

As a result of their mother's experimentation on them, Crona's blood holds several unique properties.

Hardening & Liquefying
Their blood has the ability to harden or liquify as needed, and can be manipulated into sharp weapons even when the blood is outside of Crona's body.

Offense: For example, a puddle of their blood spilled on the ground may shoot up in a set of spiky needles at their command, or can also be deliberately splashed in an arc at an opponent to create a projectile blade. Droplets of blood can float in the air and follow an opponent, and are similarly able to transform into thin, sharp, needle-like shapes.

Any wounds made to Crona's body are possible points where the black blood can eject out from their body and potentially slice an opponent, so the more they are made to bleed, the more unpredictable a close quarters fight with them becomes.

Defense: Their blood does not have to be out of their body to take this hardened effect, however - it can harden while still within their body, as well, to provide them with higher physical defense. It's said that striking Crona while the black blood is hardened is like striking lead, and furthermore, the blood can become hard enough to prevent blades from cutting them deeply. Crona is able to block swings of a blade with their arm without facing deep injury due to this ability. In general, the black blood protects them from many forms of physical damage (though they still feel pain!), and they can take quite a lot of being battered around as a result. If they do manage to be cut, they can harden the blood around and in the wound to prevent bleeding out.

However, this ability comes with a few notable shortcomings: while having a high defense against cutting and blunt attacks, Crona is incredibly susceptible to attacks that would harm them internally, like direct attacks to their soul, psychic attacks, or even things like fire and electricity that they wouldn't so easily be able to negate with their blood. Crona is additionally susceptible to surprise attacks, should they not have the time to harden their blood before being struck.

Secondly, even their hardened black blood isn't impervious - in canon, a chainsaw on a high speed setting is able to break through their blood. Those with enhanced physical strength are also shown to be able to overcome Crona's durability by "cracking" the hardened blood.

Madness
Another property of the black blood is that it can induce "madness" in others, if it gets into someone's bloodstream. Putting it simply, getting infected with the black blood can cause someone to act erratically and to no longer feel fear, which in some cases, causes people to act more recklessly and violently than they would normally. In game, characters can be infected by the black blood for a maximum of 24 hours, depending on player interest.

RAGNAROK

In Soul Eater, there are people who are born with the ability to turn their bodies into weapons. One such person, a man named Ragnarok, was melted down in a vat of black blood while in his weapon form - and this mixture was then injected into Crona when they were very young. Ragnarok resides within Crona's body, inextricably twined with their physical form. Ragnarok can occasionally pop out of their back - or any open injury, if they're harmed - as a torso, head, and arms, and he has a few other forms that grant Crona additional abilities.

Physical Strength
Because Ragnarok resides within Crona's body, his liquid-y but very tough form supports Crona's muscle system, giving them far greater physical strength than their thin frame would suggest. In combination with the hardening quality of Crona's blood, Ragnarok's strength further supplements Crona's defensive abilities, making them capable of withstanding and blocking great amounts of force from an opponent.

Sword Form
Ragnarok can emerge from Crona's body and take the form of a black broadsword. Close to the hilt, a bright red mouth rests, which he can speak from.

Scream Resonance
Ragnarok's special attack comes in the form of an ear-shattering scream, which is essentially he and Crona emitting the "wavelength" of their souls through sound. Those who are caught nearby will suffer some pain from the vibrations projected through the air, and being struck by Ragnarok while emitting this scream will cause the vibrations to be more directly emitted into an opponent's body, which can cause internal damage. Ragnarok's cutting power is also increased while performing this move, as his blade form will vibrate in a fashion similar to an electric saw.

While performing this Scream Resonance, Crona can conjure a few projectile attacks by swinging Ragnarok around. Screech Alpha and Screech Beta are attacks made of pure energy that take the form of gaping mouths; these projectiles can travel through the air or directly on the ground. If the latter, the attack will cause significant damage to the earth. Once the projectile comes into contact with something, it will first try to "bite" on to its target, before exploding shortly after.

Screech Gamma transforms Ragnarok's regular broadsword form into a longer, broader form, with an open mouth along the blade. This mouth can bite on to an opponent's weapon or body. In general, this attack simply increases Ragnarok's offensive power.

Flight
A technique that can only be performed if Crona and Ragnarok absorb many human souls, Ragnarok can sprout two giant wings from Crona's back, granting them the ability to fly.
