Character Outline
Chrome Dokuro (クローム 髑髏, Kurōmu Dokuro) is a 13-year-old girl wearing a Kokuyo school uniform and was first introduced as Tsuna's mystery Mist Guardian. She is a nice, innocent girl but can be very shy at times. She never opens up to anyone except Mukuro because she had a completely antisocial life before she met Mukuro. She gets confused when someone is kind to her since she had never imagined that her existence could be accepted by people. Chrome is almost never seen as angry or holding any grudges against people, even when she gets hurt. Because of her nature, some people can't be honest with her. She tends to lean on Mukuro for help; however, in the Future, she becomes determined to get stronger to help the people who are dear to her.
History
Nagi
From what her parents talked about in a flashback, she was a girl named Nagi and lived an antisocial life. After trying to rescue a cat, she was badly injured in a car accident, which led to the loss of her right eye and some of her internal organs. The only way to save her life would be to have someone with the same blood type transfer their organs to her. She did not care whether she lived or not, and her mother refused to sacrifice her own organs anyway. However, Mukuro Rokudo heard her words and allowed her to live by creating Illusionary organs. However, if hers or Mukuro's Trident breaks, her stomach will sink in due to not having genuine organs. Chrome has been shown using two of Mukuro's six Skills. She is also trying hard to learn Italian, since her goal is to someday be able to converse with Mukuro in Italian.

A distraught Chrome
She was later seen sitting in a corner at Kokuyo Land when her Vongola Ring lit up and Demon Spade showed himself. After he introduced himself, he did not ask about her resolve; he just looked and smiled at her.
The next day after Yamamoto failed the test, Kyoko, Haru, and Bianchi went to Kokuyo Land to give Chrome some food; however, Ken and Chikusa told them that Chrome had gone missing since the day they came back from the Future.
After Hibari and Ryohei passed their trial, only Chrome's trial remained. She returned to Kokuyo Land and broke into tears for an unknown reason, stating that she can't take this anymore.
After Choice

During the day of the final battle Chrome delivered the Vongola Mist Box to Mukuro but fainted shortly after seeing him for the first time. After Byakuran was defeated, M.M. warned Chrome that Mukuro is a fearsome person. Before Chrome can answer this, they were interupted by Ken who called her that it almost time to go back. Later, Future Chrome was seen waiting for Tsuna along with the other Future Vongola Guardians.
Inheritance Ceremony Arc
Chrome is shown to be going to the grocery store to buy candy bars and other unhealthy stuff while being stalked by Julie Katou, who she never noticed. Without knowing, she is grouped with him to patrol other areas near Kokuyo to protect Tsuna by Gokudera. She is later seen at Kokuyo Land with Ken and Chikusa, when they received a package of food from an unknown sender, who is actually Julie.
Relationships
Mukuro Rokudo
Mukuro Rokudo
Chrome is really loyal to Mukuro and admires him because he gave her a chance to live. She really cares for him and opens up to him everytime they communicate. Mukuro is also kind to her, but it is still is unknown if it is an honest behavior or just an act. At the battle with Glo Xinia, he shudders when Glo Xinia commented of how precious Chrome is to him and also, after that event, he told Tsuna to not drag her out of his reach and even requested him to protect her. However, at the end of the Future Arc, M.M. tells her that Mukuro is just using her to get out of the Vendicare Prison, which Ken and Chikusa reiterate. She tells her to stay away from Mukuro and says that he is a fearsome person. Chrome seems aware of M.M.'s warning and Mukuro's personality towards other people, but decides to keep quiet and continues to be loyal to him, this may mean that she doesn't mind even if Mukuro is just using her.
Ken & Chikusa
Chrome sees them as important people she wants to protect. Even though Ken always mocks and berates her, she doesn't seem to mind it. And unlike Mukuro, where it's still unknown how he feels for her, Ken and Chikusa, actually, really care for her well-being but refuse to show it, especially Ken. Evidence of this can be seen when they saved her during the Cloud Ring Battle from a bomb explosion and the Sky Match where Ken constantly complained that they couldn't see Chrome's condition. In the Arcobaleno Trial Arc (anime only), Ken gave her many sweets and when asked by Chikusa, he said he only bought it because they haven't used any money since her disappearance. Chikusa, aware of Ken's real intention, accepts this story, much to Ken's anger.
M.M.
M.M. is seen to have a huge dislike towards Chrome and this could be because of her possible feelings towards Mukuro. She seems somewhat jealous of her and has been seen slapping her and calling her names on some occasions. But after the final battle with Byakuran, she told Chrome to stay away from Mukuro since he was a fearsome person, and she was concerned about it. This may mean she has some level of concern for Chrome. Chrome doesn't seem to show anger towards her, nor does she seem to hate her.
I-Pin, Kyoko, & Haru
At first, Chrome is extremely shy towards all Members of the Vongola Family except Mukuro and would run away from any sign of kindness or courtesy, like when she is offered dinner or asked to eat with them, but after I-Pin offers her a bun to eat, Chrome starts warming up to the generosity of others. She then begins to help Kyoko and Haru prepare dishes for the family. She now eats dinner with them regularly. I-Pin is often encouraging her gently to be more sociable and accept other people's kindness. Now when she is usually seen, she is with either I-Pin, Kyoko, or Haru.
