Crook Mofus

About
Crook is a silent girl Rance met by chance in the Kalar forest during the events of Rance Quest. She is very knowledgeable of many different curses and negative spirits, travelling around with the objective of purging them.

She's later revealed to be one of the four Bishops of the AL Church, making her a candidate to become the next Pope after the departure of Duran Teyuran, the former pope, in LP0005. Compared to other popes, she holds little recognition or public attention for her status. Her goal is the search and recollection of Balance Breaker and sticks to Rance due to his unusual nature to attract other Balance Breakers to himself through his adventures.

During the events of Rance Quest, she manages to be the one that passes the Mura Test and is elected as the new Pope of the AL Church, meeting Godess ALICE herself as a result.

She also takes part in the Helman Revolution during the events of Rance IX.

Personality and Appearance
In appearance, Crook is a small and petite girl, being only 149 cm tall. She has a short hair that covers over the right side of her face. She's actually blind of that eye, which projects no light and lacks pupils. She also wears a pretty big newsboy's cap on her head on top of the part that covers her blind eye. She goes around carrying a bag, where she keeps several artifacts and items, combined with a jacket, a short skirt and thigh high socks. Her looks are a bit boyish and would sometimes bring confusion to some people if it wasn't for her skirt.

Personality-wise, Crook is a very quiet and silent girl that shows little emotion almost all the time. She's very polite and serious most of the time, however, she also has a more sarcastic and amusing side, making jokes over serious stuff like curses. Although due to her serious looks and demeanour, some people have trouble differentiating when she's kidding and when she's serious. She's certainly a very inexpressive girl, to the point the scene of her smiling or making other such countenance comes as a shock to others. She looks indifferent and apathic most of the time but she 's isn't as cold as she seems. She's also completely unabashed by anything, to the point that she immediately raised her skirt and shifted her underwear when Rance wandered if she was really a woman, shamelessly showing him her lack of male genitals. She's also incredibly level-headed and composed, even in situations that don't go as expected or in tense situations where most people would panic.

Crook is also very cortious and respectful to others, showing a very polite demanour that makes her fairly likeable to strangers, but she's not as kind-hearted as people might think, since she mostly believes to do what needs to be done and is okay with the idea of manipulating people and disposing them off once they are no longer useful, which is how she had initially seen Rance as. During the events of Rance Quest, her disposition towards changed a lot, to the point she highly appreciates him as the most valuable person for her.

Abilities
Crook is a very talented individual, extremely profficient and knowledgeable at dealing with curses, evil spirits, disposing the undead, and many other unholy abominations. Boasting an impressive level cap of 50 and born with a Divine Magic Lv2 skill, Crook was already notorious for her amazing skill as a healer and supportive focus in battle and, upon becoming the Pope, she was granted a Divine Magic Lv3 as a result.

She represents an amazingly valuable ally in the battlefield, being capable of casting many high level healing spells at a great speed and efficiency. Her wide knowledge over many things of the world is also very impressive, holding vast knowledge over Dark Lords, Monsters, Dimensional rifts, ancient artifacts and many other things related to the Planner Scenario. She's very skilled at reading other people and can note the skill levels of others with a quick analysis based on their performance.

Her power for dispelling curses, purifying and healing is truly stunning at present. In Rance IX, she was the only one capable of fully freeing Sill Plain from the encased Ice she was trapped by a Demon King, albeit she required a unique and powerful item to do so.
