Crocell Kerori is a student at Babyls Demon School. She attends the same class as Iruma Suzuki and his friends, the Abnormal Class. Normally under the guise of an ordinary-looking freshman student, she has an akudol alter-ego named Kuromu (くろむ).
Appearance[]
Student Appearance[]
As a student, Kerori looks quite different from her akudol counterpart. Her hair is a blueish-white bob cut and her horns are small and black, peeking out from beneath her hair. She wears the standard girls sailor uniform, consisting of a white short-sleeved blouse with a Sailor Moon-esque red bow, and a pleated red skirt. She also has white over knee-high stockings. Her most distinct feature, however, are her large, round spectacles, which contain the ability to disguise her appearance to other demons.
As of the start of her sophomore/second year at Babyls, she has traded out her large round glasses for a smaller set of Pince-Nez spectacles instead.
Akudol Appearance[]
As an akudol, Kerori wears a violet-colored wig, which turns gold at the ends, and is cut in a rough bob style at the front, with a long ponytail at the back. It also has horns that disguise her normal ones, and are longer and curled, rather than her normal, short stout horns.
She wears a typical akudol dress, with a puffed pink and blue skirt, and a black and purple corset. Around her neck hangs a purple bat-wing suit tie fastened with a pink bow tie. She also wears thigh-high white stockings ending in heavy boots. She has small purple wings and wears no glasses.
Her eye color is blue, which is a consistent feature between both appearances.
Personality[]
Kerori was initially shown to be soft-spoken and polite, always addressing the others with proper honorifics. She is kind, always thinking of others more than for herself, caring for their feelings and well-being. She doesn't like being confrontational for any reason. This led to her being meek or timid to others, as her overwhelming kindness can render her unable to respond or act for fear of offending somebody.
As opposed to her normally gentle and timid personality, when acting as the akudol Kuromu, she is bold and outspoken, sometimes even referred to as selfish or a diva. This can show through in normal times as well, with her demanding that Iruma join her as an akudol as well as brutally choreographing her classmates to prepare for the Music Festival.
Kerori has a low self-esteem due to having a weak magic power. This, fueled by her desire of earning her mother's acknowledge, has made her feel with tremendous stress on her shoulders, as seen when she made a tantrum in front of Iruma and quickly fainted with fever. When she feels someone is overshadowing her, Kerori acts very mad and frustrated because as an akudol she likes being the center of attention in the newspaper and loved by people due to her career as Kuromu.
History[]
As a child, Kerori possessed very weak magic power. This meant that, in comparison to her siblings and family, she was never able to meet their expectations or make any meaningful achievements. This led to a lack of self-esteem, where she despaired at being a failure and a shame to her family name. This changed, however, as she slowly began to notice that the way the demons on the street treated her. Spoiling her, treating her nicely, she realized they were paying attention to her and treating her well because of her adorable appearance.
She quickly discovered the existence of Akudols and came to the realization that she could use her looks and physical abilities, rather than her magical ones, to become a top Akudol, and prove herself in her family's eyes. Since then, she has led a double life, switching between Kuromu and Kerori between akudol work and school. She is currently the top student-age akudol in terms of popularity.
Synopsis[]
Babyls Enrollment Arc[]
Cannonball Execution Arc[]
Akudol Kuromu-chan Arc[]
Walter Park Arc[]
Harvest Festival Arc[]
After Kalego announces that all class needs to rank up to Dalet, Kerori is quickly teamed with Caim Camui under the wing of Mr. Hat. Her training started immediately, and even her manager approved that she must train before her duties as an akudol.
As a summoner, her training mostly consisted of being encaged with multiple wild beasts, much to her disgust. While she does not understand this initially, the training is meant for her to learn and respect all beasts as she does with her fans, as a summoner cannot think badly of their companions. Kerori quickly adapts and learns to tame the beasts to her will, surprising Mr. Hat, to which he states she has become a queen.
With the harvest festival starting, the misfits gather and bet who the winner will be. Kerori and Camui end up in the block and quickly become the powerhouse of that section. She quickly gathers a big group of powerful wild beasts that bring tons of rare ingredients. Even some students noted how this was something they had never seen before. Kerori notes the presence of these students, but instead of harming them, she welcomes them to her group, which gathers fear but also love from them and more loyalty from her beasts.
Music Festival Arc[]
Kerori was part of the Abnormal Class musical entitled "Lilith's Red Carpet", and choreographed the dance performance of the entire dance team. After the Music Festival, the entire class was promoted to Daleth (4) for their performance (except for Iruma who was promoted to rank 5).[1]
Akudol Games Arc[]
One day at school, Kerori approaches Iruma and Lied and gives them dresses to wear. Seeing their confusion, she reminds the two of them that if they asked her for a favor again during the Harvest Festival, she would make them dance on a bigger stage, and since that is exactly what they did, she has come to collect her end of the deal. She says that she understands their hesitation because of how scary debuting can be, but she confidently says they can shine with the help of her agency and of course, herself. Lied becomes confused by what she is talking about, prompting her to reveal her secret identity as Kuromu to him, as well as reveal Iruma to be Irumi.
After giving him several autographs, Lied nervously asks if he has to dress up and dance on stage like Iruma. Kerori clarifies that it isn't an ordinary stage. She explains that at the start of the thirteenth month, there is a huge event called the Akudol Games, and she plans on participating to further increase her popularity, but she needs their help to participate since her agency doesn't have many sporty girls. Lied still refuses out of fear of being seen cross-dressing, and when Kerori's charm doesn't work, she simply tells him that Gyari will be there; he immediately signs on. She then faces Iruma and earnestly tells him that she is asking for him because she trusts him, after which he fully becomes on board.[6]
Second Year[]
Heartbreaker Arc[]
Abilities[]
Immense Beauty: A skill garnered during Caim Kamui and Kerori's intense special training, she could emulate Beauty's image to entrap demons and animals to her authority, dominating them on will. This control can only be sustained when her cute and bubbly form is disintegrated.[7] She was confident enough in her skills to try and subdue Naberius Kalego alongside Ix Elizabetta. Unfortunately, they both fail; as Kalego stated, "it's still a thousand years too early for them to be able to enchant him."[8]
Singer: As an akudol, Kerori is a capable singer. Combined with her beauty, Kerori has quickly become a celebrity and a rising star in the business, having recorded many albums of her songs.
Familiar[]
Blizzard Wolf and Snow Fox King: Kerori can easily summon two beasts at once. This is due to her special training under Mister Hat's supervision, which she acquired at the Harvest Festival.[9]
