Character Name: Chrome Dokuro
Series: Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Character Age: 13
Canon: Katekyo Hitman Reborn chronicles the adventures of one Sawada Tsunayoshi, a completely normal and slightly useless young man who just so happens to be the next heir of the illustrious Vongola mafia family. Hijinks ensue as Tsuna finds himself with a whole new bunch of responsibilities that he never really wanted! One of said responsibilities is having to defend himself and the people he cares about from mysterious and inglorious bastards like the Kokuyou gang: Ken, Chikusa, and their leader, Rokudou Mukuro.

The next time Ken and Chikusa reappear after having been dealt a painful smackdown by Tsuna and company, they bring along with them a ~mysterious girl.~ Looks like Mukuro? Check. Does she fight like Mukuro? Check. Is she Mukuro? Hell no. Once upon a time, a girl named Nagi got into an accident - her parents, too uncaring to donate their own organs, left her to die. It was at this point that Mukuro, imprisoned and wandering spiritually as a cloud, happened upon her and decided to save her life, creating illusory organs for her use and naming her Chrome. In return, she became his proxy. Chrome is a kind, gentle girl, but also matter-of-fact and blunt. She is quiet to the point of social awkwardness; used to being treated coldly, she doesn't know how to react to people being kind to her - hiding from people instead of accepting them. She is very dedicated and loyal to "Mukuro-sama", even learning Italian so as to be able to communicate with him in his first language, and never complaining about her lot, whether she's being treated harshly or kindly.

Sample Post:

Buongorno. Il mio nome è Chrome.

... ah, that didn't sound quite right. Excuse me, I'll try again. I really don't think it's a very good idea to have me teach your Italian for Beginners class ... I'm still beginning myself, and I only just arrived here. But you all insisted, and you did try to save me from the tree that wanted to steal my underwear . . . I didn't need it, but it was kind. Besides, Mr. Gorilla at the back got very angry when I tried to leave the first time . . . so I'll do my best to help you all, if you'll try to help me too. Learning together ... it's easier than learning apart. So let's start again: buongiorno. Il mio nome è Chrome. Good morning, my name is Chrome. Now, all of you should introduce yourselves too, I think . . . let's go around in a circle. Sir Cutesy McFluffypants Teddybear Tortoiseshell the moogle, who wants to be known as Killer . . . I'm not sure how the second name is apt. Next, there's Tiny and Miniscule, the gorillas . . . who have the same problem. Then there's Head and Shoulders, the zombies. You two have very nice hair. It's a very varied group, isn't it? It's nice to meet you all. Let's try to get along together . . . so don't eat each other, please, Head and Killer.

Teaching this class would be a lot easier if you told me what you want to be able to say . . . I have a book here that has common phrases in it. We can start with you, Killer the moogle. What are the things you say most often? . . . "Please don't step on me" isn't in the book. Maybe something else? Oh, here you go . . . non sono abbastanza pagato per questo is how you say "I'm not paid enough for this". To be underappreciated ... isn't nice. Killer, I hope things get better for you someday. There are some ruder things to say in this book if they don't. Next, do Head and Shoulders have anything they want to learn to say? Ah, anatomy terms are on page 69 . . . so if you were to be a zombie in Italy, you would hold out your arms in that way and say cervelli. Cervelliiii. It means "brains". Then people would know to run away from you, if the fact that your skin was peeling off didn't frighten them away anyway . . .

A-- ah. It's nice that you're thankful, but please don't hug me like that. I'm not comfortable with being touched that way . . . and school is meant to be less rowdy than this, so you should sit back down and let Tiny and Miniscule have a turn. Maybe they'd like to ask how to find bananas in Italy . . . or where to find a store that stocks ballet shoes? . . . I can help you with those things, but you need a different book for "please can I have a turn with the blow-up doll". It's too specialized for this one.

I'm going to go now, but thank you for letting me join your lesson. I've learned a lot -- o-oh, you don't need to clap . . . I didn't say anything worth applauding, and the movement is making Head and Shoulders' hair fall out. Good luck with your learning . . . arrivederci.
