The enigmatic Crysallis is a recently arrived resident of Yuriba, with designs on taking over the island.

In short:

Crysallis is a strong-willed and somewhat eerie-seeming 20-something year old girl. Opinions of her character tend to differ amongst residents of the island (though it seems that those who have spent longer around her like her more), and rumours have been circulating since her arrival that she might actually be some kind of bona fide leader of an evil organization, hell-bent on bringing her legions through to take the island by force. The other pervading opinion is that she is a massively deluded girl who’s making the whole thing up. In short, she is either a wannabe evil overlord, or an actual ex-evil overlord, now relegated to slightly-above mere mortal status.

When sober, she is somewhat haughty and seems to try and project a powerful image of self-proclaimed royalty who must be obeyed. Her eyes seem hypnotic and persuasive to the weak-minded. When drunk, though, it’s a very different story, and she becomes somewhat mischievous and cheerful, firing off innuendos at girls who’ve caught her eye or staggering around the island in a kind of daze and searching for karaoke. She also proclaims her love of Christmas and looks like an innocent child waiting for Santa on Christmas Eve during these occasions.

She certainly casts an instantly striking figure, though, what with her purple hair and piercing orange eye. Her hair tends to cover her other eye. She can mainly be seen moving about the island in what must be some kind of official uniform from her “organization” – complete with a metallic crown. Her physique is toned and not unattractive, but certainly nowhere near the “double d calendar pin-up” type. She doesn't show off too much skin, but those who have seen her in the hot springs or showers can attest that she is a kind of deathly pale and without a single tattoo or birthmark.

Personality:

Crysallis’ personality is somewhat bipolar. Half the time she comes across as power crazed, maniacal and/or eerie. She despises being talked down to and reacts with verbal venom against anyone attempting to demean her. This is supposedly because she is used to being surrounded by underlings (“minions,” as she calls them, or “staff” if she’s trying to cover up her roots) back home at her secret organization’s HQ, and is not yet used to interaction on an equal level with people. She also finds stress in the fact that the self-professed “awesome powers” she possessed “back home” (This has been disclosed to various residents as 2008 England, Earth), do not work on Yuriba, or are weakened to semi-uselessness. She has been heard in drunken conversation boasting of being able to launch streams of fiery plasma beams from her hands, levitation, projectile fireball abilities with the strength to level buildings and an all-encompassing shield which deflects bullets, swords and the like. On the island, though, the only signs which support such claims are the fact that she can indeed levitate a couple of centimetres above the floor, and that her clothes and cape blow unnaturally in the breeze… even though there’s no breeze. Her eyes (or eye, as the other is usually hidden) alternate between a sparkly orange and full-on glowing when angry or in one of her intimidating attempts.

Background:

In actuality, Crysallis was indeed part of a clandestine organization on Earth - and one of the five members of its ruling “Dark Council.” With armed soldiers, concealed underground bases and (so far unused) giant robots amongst their ranks, this group’s aims were nothing less than global domination. With each member of the council artificially enhanced through DNA restructuring to have various powers (and each signified by a different colour in meetings), “The Red Crysallis” headed up the English branch and was mainly active in recruiting new members with her semi-hypnotic eyes and discerning character assessment abilities. Not a natural plan-maker, she is now somewhat lost after being catapulted to Yuriba in a freak transportation accident between two of her group’s global installations. Her left, concealed eye, though looking perfectly normal (except for its orange hue), is actually a cybernetic device (she lost her real eye in a pitched battle with UN forces whilst stealing an atomic reactor to power the first Dark Council installation). On Earth, the eye was linked into satellites and provided her with instant data and terrain mapping. On Yuriba, it does very little.

Idealogy:

Crysallis and her organization’s goal of domination is not quite as cut and dry as it may seem. Whilst the girl certainly has been corrupted by power to an extent, and revels in her abilities to crush those who stand in her way (or did, at least), she hates hunting and is kind to animals, stating “no animal ever did me any harm. Human beings are another matter.” Her group’s reasons for wanting to take over the planet are, in fact, driven by the sad state of the world – a state many of Yuriba’s inhabitants are unaware of, being either from other worlds or timelines. Earth of 2008 is, according to Crysallis’ perhaps biased viewpoint (again, divulged whilst drunk), a corrupt place led by useless governments who look the other way when millions die of starvation in poor countries and turn a blind eye to ethnic cleansing, terrorism and atrocities on a massive scale – so long as said evils aren’t taking place in their back yard. Each world power is only interested in its own political and financial gain, whilst tapping into and drumming up their citizen’s patriotic fervour to allow them to invade other lands under the pretext of “liberty and justice” (such as various wars for oil and resources, disguised as “crusades for justice” and the more recent “war on terror”). Peace-loving religions are warped into tools of killing by world leaders. Crime and law enforcement, especially in Crysallis’ homeland of England, is a joke, and the odds are stacked in the favour of rapists, burglars and molesters, so long as they’re under the age of eighteen (whereupon they are sent to a “prison” with satellite TV, video games and better accommodations than they’d find at home). The police have been stripped of any power to punish criminals, and England’s drug-addled youth fear no comeuppance at all for throwing bricks through old ladies’ windows. Finally, exasperated by this state of pollution and global decline, Crysallis (real name unknown) and four like-minded women formed an organization which would “save the world through force” – their reason being that nobody will ever be nice to one another unless they’re forced to with an iron fist. Gathering scientists and engineers to their cause, they constructed hidden bases and began work on giant robots and mechanized units, whilst strengthening their bodies through DNA restructuring. The eventual plan was to unleash their overwhelming forces simultaneously against the world because – quite naturally – no government on Earth is prepared for combating so outlandish as giant robots and girls who can launch fireballs, fly and take down entire army regiments single-handedly. Presumably, these plans are on hold pending the return of "The Red Crysallis." Or so her ego would hope.

Trivia

As a result of DNA alteration, water is like high-powered vodka to Crysallis. One glass is enough to get her thoroughly drunk. Likewise, alcohol is utterly nullified, and does nothing to her. When drunk, she generally hangs out at Leona’s Bar and Girl, often swapping verbal parries with Princess Zelda on the subject of what it is to be royalty, as well as ambling drunkenly up Akibimi-san to Mirabelle’s Caislean Dubhcoille and loitering in the garden.

Recent Activity

Crysallis has recently begun construction of an underground fortress beneath an undisclosed location on the island. Few so far have located this hidden base of operations, despite its defences being vulnerable in their uncompleted state - presently, one could simply walk right in.
