Crusch Lulu

Crusch Lulu (クルシュ・ルールー) is a white albino lizardman and the acting chieftain of the Red Eye tribe.
== Appearance ==
Crusch is an albino lizardman with snow-white scales and spotless purity. She has round bright red eyes like rubies and slim limbs.
== Personality ==
Crusch possesses a strong will and was willing to not give up so long as there is hope. Before Crusch met Zaryusu, she was quite shy because of her albinism and did not seem to leave her home on a regular basis. She also had a low sense of self-esteem and believed that all other lizardmen would look at her with disgust. She deeply cares for those around her and would do anything to keep them safe.
== Background ==
Crusch Lulu was born an albino which normally would mean that in the lizardmen community, she would be abandoned. In Lulu's case, however, her parents decided to raise her even with this genetic fault. Over the course of time, she proved herself to be a strong practitioner of magic.
When the famine in the Wetlands occurred, Red Eye managed to stave off extinction through fratricide. However, unable to bear with the guilt and shame, Crusch led a rebellion against the previous chief. Her rebellion was a success and the mantle of leadership was passed down to her making her the chieftain of the Red Eye Tribe.

Upon receiving a personal invite from Cocytus to attend the Sorcerer Kingdom's National Foundation Day Ceremony to cement the lizardmen as part of a nation, Crusch was wary of the idea given her Cocytus's masters always kept their base secret.

Though Crusch's companions found the ride to be pleasant, the Red Eye chieftain noticed that the ride took numerous turns to make ascertaining the location of the kingdom difficult. Crusch and her friends were greeted by Yuri Alpha and the Pleiades and brought to meet the other guests attending the event. At the ceremony, Momonga personally addressed the lizardmen, acknowledging their alliance to the Sorcerer Kingdom.

The visitors included not just the usual faces, but none other than Prime Minister Albedo. For a change the lizardmen were sought help from their patrons, concerning information on usable fiber plants from the Tob Forests that could be used for fabrics.

Crusch was present when her mate brought the protagonist, Slimeko, Aura, and Mare in their home along with the other lizardmen chieftains after training with the dark elves in preparation for a scouting mission to the isolated island. Just before the party from Sorcerer Kingdom was about to leave, Zaryusu Shasha requested permission to join the expedition to the shock of his peers. A few such as 
his brother advised against it due to Crusch's expecting to give birth to a child, but Crusch ultimately allowed her mate to go knowing his desire as a traveler to see new lands.

Before Zaryusu left the village with the protagonist and Slimeko who has come to pick him up, Crusch saw her husband off and asked him to be careful. After he returned from the mission to the island, and worked out an agreement for the lizardmen to use the island as a fishery to supply the village with additional food, he went to the chieftains and his brother to explain the new details of the agreement. He was initially afraid that his agreement with the Sorcerer Kingdom would be met negatively due to his traveler status and as he did it without the consent of the village. However, the chieftains did not mind as they knew Zaryusu had the interest of their people. After being told by his brother to not stop being stuck in the pay with his worry about his status as a traveler, and to try to move on with his life.

When an unconscious human girl was found in the Tob Forest by the village rangers, she was brought to the lizardman druid who tended to her. After their guest awoke, Crusch, Zaryusu, and Shasuryu learned that the human transported to the Great Lake area via a Crack and was from a place called Britannia and used a different system of magic in contrast to tier magic. Having no way to return their guest home, it was decided that they should notify the Sorcerer Kingdom. However, the village was soon attacked by an unprecedented horde of Chaos Beasts that surged from Tob Forest. Crusch was asked by Zaryusu to evacuate with the non-combatants, due to her pregnancy, even though the female lizardman wanted to remain and fight, arguing they will need a druid to heal their wounds in the battle against the Chaos Beasts. She was finally convinced to evacuate after her human charge promised to take her role as a magic supporter and protect her husband Zaryusu.Mass for the Dead Special Event: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Ruler of Death

Some months after the Calamity of Cracks, Crusch and the other tribal leaders received a visit from Slimeko and Renner Theiere Chardelon Ryle Vaiself, representatives of the Sorcerer Kingdom, who informed them that the lizardmen's request for an ice room was approved. In addition, the representatives wanted to include an ice statue of Momonga inside it, a feature Crusch was unsure of. 
Her peers though believed it would be a good feature as they could pray to their benefactor, to which Crusch stated that she prayed for everyone's safety. From this her brother-in-law Shasuryu asked if it was mostly for her husband, causing her to be ruffled by the statement. Due to having guests, the priest apologized to Renner and Slimeko for the inappropriate sight, but the imp and slime did not mind.Mass for the Dead Special Event: An Ice Room Is Built and a Holy Night Is Celebrated
Afterwards, the lizardman village received a surprise visit from the Sorcerer King, on his way to the "first sunrise", bringing New Year's gifts of fish made from using magic. When Momonga questioned the chieftains if there were any odd occurrences in the area, Zaryusu reported that nothing out of the ordinary occurred. Zenberu seeing Lupusregina had come last time when the village was in trouble had dressed in red, similar to her priestess attire she wore currently. This earn him a punch in the gut by the druid, who apologized for Zenberu's rudeness. Albedo took the chance to greet the female lizardman, offering her consideration to her child.
