— Croire
| ||
Croire is a tome who is similar to Histoire but has the ability to traverse dimensions. She plays the role of an observer stirring up trouble for own entertaiment moreso than an actual antagonist. It can be said that Croire is the equivalent to an oracle for Rei but not quite.
Appearance
Croire is a pale-tan skinned girl with bright blue eyes and choppy, platinum blonde-white colored hair worn with black ear pieces with red on them. She has a pair of purple and blue gradient themed wings and wears a black dress with silver and red accents, a crimson ribbon tied around her right wrist, and a cape like piece that attaches to her top by the big pink orb in the center of it. With smaller pink orbs below her shoulders.
Personality
Croire has a very crass way of speaking and has tomboyish mannerisms to fit her tomboyish look. She uses deragatory terms to describe people rather frequently and definitely hates when people can't get her name right. Croire is shown to have little to no concern about anyone who gets mixed up in her trouble causing because all she cares about is her own entertainment.
Story
Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory
Croire first appears in the Hyperdimension after Rei runs out of fear from Neptune and Nepgear and ends up finding herself lost in the city. She forces some of the Ultradimension Rei's dark power into her which ends up allowing the Hyperdimension Rei to send Neptune to the Ultradimension.
Croire appears again after the party takes Rei to the Planeptune Basilicom for questioning about how she was able to transform. Croire reveals to have knowledge about Histoire's purpose of creation which is to record the history of the CPUs and weave realities but doesn't actually disclose her own purpose behind existing other than to "liven up history." She also reveals that unlike Histoire she can't make a connection to other worlds but she can travel to them. Before she leaves, Croire warns Rei and the others that the Hyperdimension Rei is going to destroy the world right before she unleashes her attack.
During the "Rei's Memories" events, it is shown that Croire has always been with Rei ever since she became a goddess by accidentally eating a CPU Memory, much like when Plutia did the same exact thing and Histoire appeared. Croire explains that since Rei is a CPU that she must form her own nation. When the people begin to revolt against Re she ends up destroying her nation and Croire is suprised to see that she is still alive after all that destruction she caused by releasing all of her power at once.
During the True End Route, Croire observes the fight between the Hyperdimension Rei and the other goddesses. When the Ultradimension Rei arrives in an attempt to help, Croire ends up taking the power that she brought over and giving it to the Hyperdimension Rei so that she can continue fighting. When Purple Heart asks her what her motive is, Croire states that all she wants is to be entertained. After the goddesses succesfully take down Rei and get rid of the dark power, Croire leaves the Hyperdimension in search of somewhere else to stir up trouble. When she finally arrives at her destination she is captured by an unknown girl (believed to be the Neptune from the Ultradimension due to Croire's reaction and the girl's voice).
