**Cross** is a side antagonist of *KINGDOM.exe - Visual Arcade* while she's the main antagonist of *KINGDOM.exe - Visual Arcade 2*. She is a nun who was held as a test subject in Mary's Lab. She escaped and began to serve Mary because they were actually best friends. In Visual Arcade 2, she tried stopping Kanade from taking the heart back, even if it means to destroy Gensokyo. She was responsible for the deactivation of The Heart and battles the player in several different occasions.

## Appearance

Cross is completely pitch black except her eyes and two crosses due to them being white. She wears a veil with two crosses that appears to be the part of her veil. She also has white circular eyes with eyelashes (the picture shows her eyes as semi-circles). It was found in S4TURN's twitter shows that she was completely pink so Cross' original colors might be pink.

Also in S4TURN's twitter shows that she originally has a body, wearing white clothes but with her being completely pink, she wears the same clothes but it's dark pink.

### Initial Appearance

In *Visual Arcade,* Cross has smaller eyes with diagonal lines on her sides of her face which might be a blush feature. Her veil it more wavy than now and her veil crosses are bigger than now. In *Visual Arcade 2*, like it was stated above, she has bigger eyes and her blush was removed. Her veil is less wavy and her veil crosses are smaller. When outside a level or in a cutscene, she was black while when inside a level, her colors are inverted but in *Visual Arcade*, her original color scheme in a level is still the same.

Empowered Appearance
Halfway in the Island world and during New Game, Cross reappears with the same form as seen in the previous level. However, once Cross stabs herself with the three other crosses fused together, it changes to remove the veil and grow hair, have two small horns. Also, she now has teeth of a shape of a semi-circle that look like an evil grin but she often closes it.
Cross constantly changes in multiple ways during its attacks, such as forming a ring of 12 stars surrounding her before she rolls clockwise on the screen. Shapeshifting into a sun other than being a cross and shooting a lot of lasers and bullets. She also can summon a bigger portal capable of shooting out attacks or sucking someone inside it like a black hole.

Final Appearance
Cross stabbed herself again with the fourth cross and put it all the way inside her head, empowering herself even further. Her right eye grows, and then seems to "pop" and "bleeds" black liquid, which seems to "wash" the mouth away. The same then happens to her left eye. Her body and hair started to "bleed" too.
During Annihilate, Cross' left eye lowered instead of being wide open but it still continues to "bleed". A cross fell from above and Cross took it while she shakes and stabbed herself again and put it all the way in. Before her transformation, she became transparent to show the five crosses with the other three broke apart and then the five crosses fused together and it formed a pentagram.
Once Cross transforms herself during the same level, she looked like her initial appearance but she grew big wings and bigger horns with something attaching to the two horns. Her eyes also glows red with the inside of her wings but in the white version, her eyes remain black and her wings doesn't have any color inside. This is because S4TURN stated that the white version isn't really done yet.
Cross retains her final form appearance during Till It's Over, except that the player damages it until it's damaged beyond repair. She does make a return in the end credits, as it returns into her initial form, holding a microphone.

Other Appearances
Cross makes her appearance in the lobby menu initially using the microphone when unlocked. If one manages to get the secret lobby challenge unlock in the game, Cross's microphone will be replaced by an electric guitar set seen in earlier story sequences.
Cross appears as a white circle with four shapes in a ring surrounding her with X eyes and a big smile throughout the Unknown Location. In this, she was trying to hide her identity from the player and naming herself Sol.js (The .js suffix means JavaScript).

## Introduction

Encounters
Mysterious Place (VA 1)
When the player reached the cave of the Mysterious Place, Cross was found sleeping on a platform. After beating the level, a heart will act as a drill and because of loud noise and shaking, Cross woke up annoyed and spotted the player.
This triggers the chase scene of that chapter where you have to dodge all Cross's attacks until the end.
After the chase, the player ended up in another place with a lone tree and a lock sitting beside it. As the player has unlocked the level, Cross appears and followed the player to the portal, which started another boss level, Lycanthropy.

Boss Battle
Resuming in Lycanthropy, Cross came to fight the player to stop her from taking The Heart back. Cross fights the player using a variety of attacks to combat the player once again.
When the battle is almost over, Cross opened a portal to suck in and trap the player inside but the player has successfully escaped the portal so instead it sucks in all the attacks that Cross has performed with the corrupted plants.

Island (VA 2)
After beating all 7 main levels (8 including the tutorial), you will get the final Sacred Scroll to proceed. After putting the last on on the offering table, the table will break along with the scrolls and open another level, which is the boss battle, New Game.

## Trivia

* Cross is only referred as "*BOSS*" in her own HP bar during Till It's Over, "*Nun\_Boss*" as an emote in the official S4TURN Discord Server and "*The\_Nun*" in the game's internal files and references but her original look (the black version) is referred as "*Subject404*". It also appears as a Playstation 4 avatar named "*Nun*" as well as her second form named "New Game".
* When VA 2 isn't released yet, Cross has no name. Meaning that her name isn't Cross that time but people call her Nun.
	+ A fan-nickname that is commonly given to Cross when she still doesn't have an official name is "Sarvente"; This is because of S4TURN's twitter post of her illustration completely pink with one a bit light at the left side and dark one at the right on her face, resembling a Neapolitan ice cream.
		- Another common fan-nickname of Cross is "Lycan". This is related to her debut during Lycanthropy.

* According to the game's artist Protagonist4, she made Cross's favorite animal are cats, just like Mary. She also said that the reason why she made Mary and Cross love cats because of a cat from another universe.
* As noted from the quote above the page, it is true that LunarX did not design Cross's appearance. The game's artist, Protagonist4, designed it.
