## History

### Background

Crymini's backstory is not fully explored like most other characters but what is known is that she had an abusive father who would physically beat her even for minor inconveniences. She also mentioned as having her heart broken more times than she would like to count which resulted in her developing major trust issues and is completely hesitant to get close to anyone as a result.

Crymini's life as a human made her a delinquent well-known to both cops and small-time criminals. She was said to have died in a car crash when she was being chased by the police for attempted robbery and arson. After her death, she was sent to Hell and condemned to the Wrath and Pride Circles including the Violence Ring. During her time in Hell, she met and got acquainted with two female sinners named Cherri Bomb and Amity with the three becoming a dynamically explosive trio that caused all sorts of mischief throughout their respective Circles. However, as time went on, Crymini lost touch with her mates as Cherri went out to fight against Lucifuge's authoritarian regime while Amity went to work for Sir Pentious.

For a while Crymini was on her own, usually committing several acts of arson, until she was approached by Baxter who offered her a job as his intern even though she broke into his lab and mess with his lab equipment. Crymini states that the only reason she accepted was because Baxter would allow her to test his inventions or in her words "blow shit up". Crymini was also unwillingly dragged into Baxter's ongoing feud with Sir Pentious and while she was initially annoyed, she became fully engrossed in their fight mainly after discovering that Amity was with Pentious and thus would give her the time to catch up with her best friend despite working for opposite sides.

### Joining the Hotel

Crymini would end up being enlisted in Charlie's rehabilitation program mainly because Baxter was the one to be dragged in an attempt to mend things with Pentious on Charlie's behalf. However, Crymini proved to be a highly problematic troublemaker by spraying graffiti on the establishment's walls and blaring heavy metal or punk rock music in her room throughout night and day, disturbing many of the staff and patients.

Though antagonistic towards others, she would slowly but surely begin to bond with few of the residents, among which is Mephisto himself whom she would regard as a father-like figure.
