She is a vixen with blue and white fur, and has [[wikipedia:Telepathy|telepathic powers]].

'''Krystal''' is a blue female vixen in the [[Star Fox (series)|''Star Fox'' series]]. She is a vixen with blue and white fur, and has [[wikipedia:Telepathy|telepathic powers]]. She made her official debut appearance in ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'', although she was originally intended to appear in the irrelevant game, ''[[Dinosaur Planet]]''. She is a member of [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox]] team since ''Star Fox: Assault'' and is the love interest of [[Fox McCloud]].


Krystal originally hails from [[Cerinia]], which is believed to be a doomed planet which used to exist in either in the [[Lylat System]] or beyond. Apparently, she ultimately ends up on [[Sauria]], where she was raised. After the events of ''Star Fox Adventures'', she becomes a member in the [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox team]], and eventually had a brief romantic relation with [[Fox McCloud]]. She eventually befriended [[Peppy Hare|Peppy's]] daughter, [[Lucy]] and Peppy began to think of her as a second daughter. At this time, it is unknown what is Krystal's official path after the events of ''Star Fox Command'', as one of the nine possible endings depicts Krystal settling with Fox, marrying him, and having [[Marcus McCloud|a son]] with him. Another ending depicts Krystal leaving Fox all together, and eventually ending up as lonesome bounty hunter, under a new alias: '''Kursed'''.

[[File:Krystal and CloudRunner Intro Adventures.png|left|thumb|Krystal flying on a [[CloudRunner]].]]A short time before the events of ''Star Fox Adventures'', Krystal had picked up a telepathic distress signal from the planet Sauria. With the help of a CloudRunner rebel, she learned that the planet was being torn apart due to the results of the tyrannical [[General Scales]]. Shortly afterwards, the two are set upon by the General's flying galleon and Krystal's staff was shot from her hands. The CloudRunner managed to damage the airship greatly before Krystal jumped onto the ship itself. Unfortunately, she was captured by General Scales and, after a quick dialogue, was thrown overboard only to be saved by the CloudRunner. The CloudRunner then flew Krystal to the [[Krazoa Palace]] which had been overrun by the [[SharpClaw]] where she found many gravely injured [[EarthWalker]] warriors in the palace. After journeying through the palace, Krystal found a strange altar with an entity called a [[Krazoa|Krazoa Spirit]]. The spirit tasked Krystal with a test so that she may host the Krazoa, and the mission to collect the other five spirits. Unfortunately, her mission was cut short as she released the spirit into one of the Krazoa Shrines. Doing this allowed an unknown entity, one that Krystal seemed to recognize, to imprison her in a large, crystalline mechanism.

[[File:Krystal Encased Adventures.png|right|thumb|Krystal imprisoned in the crystalized mechanism.]]Twice in the game, Fox McCloud heard her voice through telepathic messages. The first was a message from within her staff which he had found in [[ThornTail Hollow]]. This told him about the staff and how to use it. The second message Fox recieved in [[Moon Mountain Pass]]. Here, Krystal pleaded for help from Fox and [[Tricky]] while the Krazoa she freed tasked Fox with finishing her mission to save her. It is unknown whether this was real or an illusion by Andross. After finding the second spirit and going to the Krazoa Palace for the first time, Fox first saw Krystal and instantly fell in love.

[[File:KrystalReleased.jpg|left|thumb|The first meeting of Krystal and Fox.]]Once Fox had defeated General Scales, claimed his Krazoa, and released it into the palace, the Krazoa Spirits began to float around Krystal. They then entered her body and were shot out into the statue of the Krazoa. As the spirits were released, Krystal's prison shattered and she plunged from the top of the palace. Fortunately, Fox had been quick enough that he was able to stick Krystal's staff out fast enough for her to catch it. The two locked eyes and there was an immediate spark between the two. Fox hoisted Krystal up and she proceeded to take her staff back, against Fox's wishes. She uses the staff's power to blast at the statue head now floating above them, but the monster escaped and Fox followed with his [[Arwing]].

[[File:FoxAndKrystal.jpg|right|thumb|Krystal and Fox together.]]After [[Andross]], the true identity of the statue, was defeated and the Star Fox team reunited, Peppy told Fox about a message he had received from Krystal. In the message, she stated that she was eternally grateful to him and was sad that they didn't get a chance to thank him. To everyone's surprise, Krystal appeared in the [[Great Fox]] to do it personally.  The other team members quickly saw that Fox was entirely smitten with her, especially after [[ROB]] unintentionally revealed his rising temperature and asks if he's okay. The game ends with the two staring into each other and Fox telling ROB he was perfectly fine.

[[File:Krystal Assault Intro.png|left|thumb|Krystal in the Great Fox with her teammates.]]


Krystal's first major mission with the Star Fox team began about a year after the Sauria ordeal. In the Great Fox, Krystal and the rest of the team appeared in the space above [[Fortuna]] to fight [[Andrew Oikonny|Oikonny]], the leader of the leftovers of the [[Venomian Army]]. Krystal, Fox, [[Falco]], and [[Slippy]] followed Oikonny to the surface of Fortuna where they fought him controlling a mechanism with a similar appearance to Andross. When the ship was destroyed by laser from an [[Aparoid]], Krystal tried to sense its mind, but found its thoughts incomprehensible and was blasted by the creature. Fox quickly dispatched the creature and the group went to rejoin Peppy and ROB.

In the debris of the collapsed homeworld, Star Fox basked in the glory of victory, except for Krystal. She remembered all those who died in the fight against the Aparoids. At that moment, Slippy saw a flashing light that was the same as the one from the escape pod of the Great Fox. Seconds afterward came a transmission from Peppy, the one they thought dead. Krystal was last seen asking Fox what would happen next.

[[File:Krystal leaves SF Command.png|thumb|Fox saying farewell to Krystal.]]Krystal had truly loved Fox and, though unspoken, he returned her love. But he also knew of the dangers of being a member of the Star Fox team and remembered what had happened to [[James McCloud|his father]] and how he felt after his death. Sometime after the Aparoid invasions, Fox saying farewell to Krystal much as her depressed. For a while, she stays in contact with Lucy who later said that Krystal was extremely depressed after the breakup.<ref>"She's been very sad and lonely since you two split up." — Lucy Hare, ''Star Fox Command''</ref> She later joined the Cornerian Defense Force, now cold-hearted and a true killer. Not long after, she broke off from the army and contacted Wolf to join his team.

== Trivia ==
*In ''[[Dinosaur Planet]]'', the game which later became ''Star Fox Adventures'', Krystal was originally meant to be a feline rather than a fox and was significantly younger <ref>http://www.unseen64.net/2008/04/04/dinosaur_planet_n64/</ref>.
*Krystal was originally to have had a much larger role in ''Star Fox Adventures''. Originally, Fox found the SpellStones specifically to save her, not the Krazoa Spirits, and he released her some time before the General Scales battle<ref>http://www.unseen64.net/2009/07/17/starfox-adventures-gamecube-beta/</ref>. Krystal and Fox would have worked together in the Krazoa Palace and fought Andross on foot. Many of Krystal's lines that were in the Saurian language in the final game were in English in the earlier build. Also in the original ending, Fox would have asked Krystal to join the team, she told him that she would join at the price of one kiss.<ref>"I'll only join... if you'll kiss me." — Krystal, ''Star Fox Adventures'' (unused quote)</ref> All of these changes were made because Rare was being bought by Microsoft shortly during the game's production.<ref>"We ran out of dev time due to the looming Microsoft buyout so we had to wrap up the game and just focus on one final boss." — Lee Schunemann</ref>
*Early in the game, Krystal sees Andross and recognizes him right before being captured. How she recognizes him is unknown and it is believed that an explanation would have been given in the original ending. The most popular belief is that Andross was in some way responsible for the destruction of Cerinia.
