72.6	11
72.2	12	Krystal is a 16 year-old "Vixon" from the [[Vixon Tribe>>Vixon Tribe]] on the planet [[Animus>>Animus]], and one of the two playable protagonists in [[Dinosaur Planet>>Dinosaur Planet]].
	13
	14	She was adopted and raised by [[Randorn>>Randorn]] of the [[Wolven Tribe>>Wolven Tribe]] for most of her young life, and believes that he rescued her when a disaster took the lives of her true parents. Randorn's son, [[Sabre>>Sabre]], is her adoptive brother because of this part of Krystal's life.
	15
	16	Krystal is a gentle, courageous and mature character around everyone she considers an ally or friend. On the contrary, though, she gets tough and shows no fear around those who dare to threaten Dinosaur Planet's peace.
	17
	18	Her "dino sidekick" is [[Kyte>>Kyte]], a pterodactyl and princess of the [[CloudRunner>>CloudRunner]] tribe, whom she rescues from the clutches of [[General Scales>>General Scales]] early-on in the game. She assists Krystal in her journey with several useful Commands, which allow her to do things that Krystal cannot.

72.2	22	//On a moonlit night deep in the Northwood Forest on[[ Animus>>Animus]], the six year-old vixen is woken up by [[a Wolven warrior>>a Wolven warrior]] entering her clan’s territory. The warrior began to attack her clan and Krystal’s father urged her to run and to not turn back in order to hide. //
1.2	23
72.2	24	//She spent the night hidden by the roots of a giant tree, and as soon as day broke out she traced by her steps to find her family, but was found by a Wolven male, [[Randorn>>Randorn]], who explained to her that her family had been killed by someone.//
1.2	25
72.2	26	//The child, now an orphan, is reassured by the adult Wolven who wants to take care of her. It was he who gave her the name Krystal.//

64.25	76	Despite the hard-girl image, Krystal really needs a week’s relaxation at a Health Spa. Her nails are filthy!
8.1	77
	78	* //Personality//
1.2	79	Her turbulent upbringing has given her a cool and mature head for her age, which has often proven invaluable in some difficult situations.
64.25	80	\\A skilled fighter, Krystal uses her staff as her main form of attack and defense. Her years spent growing up with [[Randorn>>Randorn]] have allowed her to hone her combat techniques to a level that is just right for bashing SharpClaws.
8.1	81
	82	* //Role within the game//
13.1	83	Krystal’s relationship with [[her sidekick Kyte>>her sidekick Kyte]] grows as the game progresses. The alliance that forms between the two will see both characters rely on each other for support during many difficult situations and experiences.
