“ | You're just a pathetic old man. How dare you get in the way of my brilliant plan...you dog. | „ |
~ "Monica" after stabbing Jeralt. |
“ | Just the sight of your face makes me so angry! Can I kill you now, just to get it over with? Please? Gah! Why not? It would be easy. You're such a weak creature that I'd hardly have to lift a finger. Fighting alongside you, sharing our victories and defeats... I'm beginning to feel attached to you. I don't know why. I'm an Agarthan, and you're just a pathetic little worm. It's unthinkable. It's repulsive! But that's how I feel. So if you won't let me kill you, you'll have to agree to be my plaything. Forever. All right? | „ |
~ Kronya threatening the Summoner in Fire Emblem Heroes. |
Kronya, also impersonating as Monica von Ochs, is a major antagonist within the Fódlan Saga of Nintendo's Fire Emblem franchise.
She is a highly crazed and sadistic member of Those Who Slither in the Dark. During the Acadamy Phase in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, she disguised herself as Monica, done after killing the real one, and infiltrated the Garreg Mach Monastery, turning other students into Demonic Beasts and killing Jeralt. Due to her murder of Jeralt, she is the arch-enemy of both Byleth Eisner and Leonie Pinelli.
In Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, she is the archenemy of Monica, who wants revenge on Kronya for trying to murder her and take her identity before she was rescued by Shez and the house they were assigned to.
She is voiced by Marika Kōno in Japanese and by Colleen O'Shaughnessey in English.
Personality[]
Kronya is a psychotic, murderous, and sadistic assassin who has a childish streak, which annoys the Flame Emperor and even several of her comrades. Her childish behavior hides her severe brutality and bloodlust, remorselessly backstabbing her victim with a smile on her face.
She also acts arrogant towards her enemies, calling them vermin. However, despite her sadistic nature, she is shown to be a pathetic coward, as best seen in her last moments, where she ran away from Byleth after her defeat and begged them to save her, as she was betrayed by Solon and was about to be sacrificed for his ritual.
Kronya is also shown to be too crazed, as she makes no attempt to emulate the personality of Monica von Ochs while impersonating her, causing people to note "Monica's" radically different demeanour, though they dismiss it as her way of coping with her kidnapping, which would lead to Kronya turning the students into Demonic Beasts and attacking Garreg Mach.
Biography[]
Fire Emblem: Three Houses[]
Kronya first appears in the end of Chapter 6 under the guise of Monica.
During the Horsebow Moon of 1180, when the Death Knight kidnapped Flayn, Monica was seen unconscious along with Flayn. Monica quickly recovers and re-enters the Officers Academy as a member of the Black Eagles. Other students and members of the monastery observe that she has become quite close to Edelgard and that her personality has completely changed. Kronya reveals herself after Those Who Slither in the Dark are defeated by Jeralt, Byleth, and some of the students of the Officers Academy while experimenting on other students. Kronya pretends to be a captive and approaches Jeralt to thank him, but when Jeralt turns his back, she stabs him. Byleth tries to stop her using Sothis' Divine Pulse but is stopped by Thales. Kronya is surprised by Thales' appearance, but Thales teleports her without explanation.
Later, Thales and the Flame Emperor are discussing Kronya's carelessness, as the truth of Those Who Slither in the Dark would have been revealed by Kronya's death. Thales asks Kronya to team up with Solon, a prospect she expresses excitement for. Kronya once again fights with Byleth and their class, mocking them and revealing her true self, but she loses. Before Byleth cuts her, Solon shows up and grabs Kronya's heart, using her to perform a ritual to banish Byleth to the dark dimension of Zahras. Soon after Sothis' power frees Byleth from the dark dimension, Solon is killed, leaving his sacrifice of Kronya in vain.
Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes[]
In an alternate timeline from Three Houses, the real Monica von Ochs is found and rescued by Shez and their class. As they escort Monica out of the fort, they are ambushed by Kronya, who attacks them. Upon being driven back, she releases a captured Demonic Beast on them. Kronya is shocked when Shez and their allies defeat the creature, remarking thta Thales will not be happy with this turn of events before retreating.
Kronya appears again in both the Scarlet Blaze and Azure Gleam routes. In the Scarlet Blaze route, she appears at Fort Merceus reinforcing Ludwig von Aegir. She attempts to stop the Imperial forces infilitrating the fort by sending the assassin Dolfonos after them and attacking them with Viskam constructed to bolster the fort's defences. When an Imperial detachment disbales the Viskam, the main force is able to dfeat and kill both Dolofonos and Kronya, the latter begging for mercy with her last breath.
In the Azure Gleam route, Kornya appears during the Kingdom and Alliance's siege of Garreg Mach Monestary, where she is killed.
Kronya does not reappear in the Goldon Wildfire route following Monica's rescue.

Quotes[]
“ | Leonie: Monica... You'll pay for what you've done! Kronya: I told you! I am not Monica, I am Kronya! Do not call me by that fake name! Leonie: I don't care what you're called. I don't care if it takes my last breath. I'll kill you! Kronya: Please, my powers are beyond your comprehension. You're just a filthy worm! |

Trivia[]
- Kronya is one of the only summonable Fire Emblem villains in Fire Emblem Heroes that undergo any adaptational heroism. In the game, she maintains her condescending attitude and even sends death threats towards Kiran, who is notable for earning some sort of respect and friendship from many villains, including the likes of Zephiel, Gharnef and even the misanthrophic Grima.
- Ironically, while she became the first member from Those Who Slither in the Dark that became playable in Fire Emblem Heroes, Kronya never has more impact on the entire story (unlike all others from Three Houses) other than killing Jeralt, and is slain one chapter after that.
