Chrno Crusade Characters:

Rosette Christopher – Rosette is a young woman and works as an exorcist for the Order of Magdalene. Her goal is to get Joshua back from the hands of the demon, Aion. Out of desperation, she goes into a contract with the demon, Chrono, who helps her with her goal. As long as the contract remains and Chrono uses her life force to gain incredible power, Rosette’s lifespan slowly drains. Regardless, she pushes through with her goal and uses this as an excuse to be reckless but headstrong.

Chrno – Chrono is a demon contracted to Rosette and is her closest friend. His horns were ripped off by Aion. Horns are important for demons as it lets them receive astral energy which they use as their source of life force and power. Chrono draws his power instead from Rosette’s life force which is kept in a pocket watch around Rosette’s neck. Releasing her life force gives Chrono incredible power but shortens Rosette’s life span.
