History
As a toddler, Crona was subjected to Medusa's experiment involving a blood transfusion of a madness-inducing liquid called Black Blood. As a result, they entered a forced symbiosis with a weapon that was melted into the Black Blood, the Demon Sword Ragnarok. From there, from killing small animals to suffering various forms of torture through Raganrok's bullying and a merciless mother's methods of punishment, Crona was raised for Medusa's purpose to destroy the world by consuming enough souls to become a Kishin and then merge with the original Kishin Asura.
After they became friends with Maka, however, Crona began to become surer of themself, but still had difficulty making decisions. They soon began to distinguish the difference between good and evil.
