Character Outline
Nagi, now known as Chrome Dokuro, is a 13-year-old Japanese girl who was first introduced as Tsuna's mysterious Mist Guardian and one of Mukuro's subordinates who acted as his vessel and connection to the world outside Vendicare Prison.

Appearance
Chrome is a girl with short purple pineapple hair like Mukuro with a single violet eye. She's mostly seen wearing a green Kokuyo Middle-school uniform like the rest of Kokuyo Gang, a black eye patch, a black belt, and boots that all have a chrome-colored skull on them, reflecting her own name, Chrome. She always carries her bag, which is where she puts her trident in.

Aside from her usual appearance, so far she's been seen wearing a black suit with a black short skirt with longer black boots at Choice and at Tsuna's Inheritance Ceremony. She wore a black Simon Middle School uniform while under the control of Daemon Spade. Currently, she is mostly seen wearing a girl's Namimori Middle School uniform.

When in an illusionary world, she has longer hair with her bangs covering her lost right eye, and always shown wearing a plain white gown (anime only). In one of manga chapters covers, she's shown wearing a sailor uniform. However, her appearance before she was in her fatal car accident as Nagi was not seen.

Personality
She never opens up to anyone except Mukuro because she had a completely anti-social life before she met Mukuro. She gets confused and shy when someone is kind to her since she had never imagined that her existence could be accepted by people. Because of her nature, some people can't be honest with her or think of her as pitiful. She tends to lean on Mukuro for help; however, in the Future Arc, she becomes determined to get stronger to help the people who are dear to her and slowly starts to interact with the others. She seems to like skulls since her boots, belt, eye patch, and even her wallet has a skull picture on it.

History
From what her parents talked about in a flashback, her original name was Nagi, and she lived an isolated and 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.

Varia Arc
Chrome was chosen to be the holder of the Half Vongola Mist Ring in Mukuro's place. She fought on level footing with Viper during the early stages of her match, but was overwhelmed once Viper got a bit serious. Viper, soon realizing that her trident was the key to her power, began targeting that, and, shortly after, was able to destroy it. This led to an unusual phenomenon where Chrome lost some of her organs, and seemingly lost the match.

However, soon a mist covered her body. Viper guessed that Chrome did what normal female illusionist do by using the last of her powers to cover her body. Viper couldn't be more wrong, because out of the mist came a sinister laugh, and, once the mist cleared, Mukuro had taken over.

Mukuro soon defeated Viper, winning the match, but having used too much of his power, his grip on his real illusion faded, returning the body back to Chrome.

Later, in the Sky Ring Battle, she was captured by Bel and Mammon and held hostage to convince Gokudera and Yamamoto to give up their Rings. Gokudera and Yamamoto attempted to save her but were caught in an Illusion; however, Ryohei came to the rescue and broke the Illusion.

Future Arc
According to Kusakabe, five years before Tsuna and the others were transported to the Future, future Chrome, Ken, and Chikusa attempted to break Mukuro out from Vendicare Prison; however, they failed and separated, and their status was unknown. However, five years afterwards, half a year before Tsuna's arrival to the future, Glo Xinia encountered Chrome and was said to have defeated Mukuro while he was possessing Chrome's body to fight him but she's able to escape and then encountered Guedo Greco at airport in Italy who was possessed by Mukuro and instructed her to go to Kokuyo Land.

After being transferred into the Future with a frozen Vongola Ring, Chrome was confronted by Glo Xinia in the Kokuyo Gang's Hideout. With the help of Future Mukuro, she was able to thaw out her Ring and defeat Glo Xinia. Ryohei later brought Chrome to the Vongola Base. As she lay in bed sick, her Illusionary internal organs begin to fail and disappear due to Mukuro's defeat by Byakuran. However, she was able to use the Vongola Mist Ring to sustain her organs via her own Illusions. During the Invasion of the Merone Base, she appeared using Illusions to disguise herself with Hibari and Kusakabe. Along with the other Vongola Guardians, Chrome was given a Vongola Box Weapon.

Choice Arc
Upon returning to the Future, the other members of the Famiglia were at first worried that Chrome wasn't eating. However, once she established a friendship with I-Pin, she began joining them for dinner. She later began training to master her Illusions with the virtual training challenge created by Mammon and her combat abilities with Bianchi and I-Pin. Chrome was not one of the participants in Choice and therefore watched the battle from the Vongola viewing area.

Inheritance Succession Arc
After being sent back to the past for the Inheritance Succession Viper was chosen to be Chrome's tutor. Chrome later went missing for several days only to return to Kokuyo Land, greatly upset and crying. Upon being questioned by the Yuni, Kyoko, Haru and I-Pin, she stated that she no longer wished to fight, leading the other Guardians to think she would be better off staying in the past. It was later revealed that Daemon Spade (the first and second Mist Guardian) had taken control of Chrome in order to draw the girls out and hold them as hostages. The group was then trapped in an illusion with limited oxygen, and while the other Guardians attempted a rescue Chrome attempted to break the illusion which, with Viper acting as a guide she was able to accomplish. Later Daemon gave Chrome her inheritance after expressing an interest in Mukuro, who had appeared briefly to save Chrome.

Future Final Battle Arc
After returning from the past, the Six Funeral Wreaths tried to capture Yuni. Chrome used her Vongola Mist Owl Cambio Forma to see through the enhanced illusions created by Torikabuto, aiding Tsuna in his fight. 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 was only using her to escape from prison.

Inheritance Ceremony Arc
Back in the past Chrome was stalked by Julie Katou (a transfer from Simon Middle School), who also started delivering food to her. He later asked her to go on a date and run away with him. However, she rejected him and just left him standing there. Later, after Yamamoto was attacked, Chrome created an illusion of him for Tsuna's Inheritance Ceremony so that the other Mafia members would remain unaware of his absence. Later, she, along with the other guardians (excluding Lambo), was defeated by Enma. When the Simon Famiglia took their leave after Enma defeated Tsuna, she was taken along by Julie, dropping her Vongola Ring on the ground in the process.

After awakening to find herself trapped at Simon Island, Chrome attempted to escape but was stopped by Julie who demonstrated that he was creating her illusionary organs for her as the Island had a barrier that prevents Mukuro's illusions from passing through. When Chrome refused his offer to become his, Julie then explained that he was responsible for the entire battle between the Simon and Vongola for two goals, first for complete anihilation of Vongola and second was her. As he said this, he revealed his true identity as Daemon Spade in disguise. When he requested for Chrome to submit her body by her own will, she refused and Daemon then punished her by proceeding to take control of Chrome's mind in order to draw out Mukuro so he can take his body. She's seen again alongside Daemon, after he finally revealed his true identity and plans to Tsuna and the others. She creates a mist barrier that traps Tsuna and the others with her technique, Cortina Nebbia, to prevent them fighting Daemon all together at once. When Hibari threatened Daemon by breaking the barrier, he replied to Tsuna and the group that if the barrier is broken; Chrome, the creator, will be killed. When Yamamoto managed to injure Daemon with his new technique, Chrome interfered and refused to step back until Daemon ordered her too. Before she left the battlefield with Daemon, Yamamoto gave her the Ore of Mist Version X and told her that they will always wait for her.

The next day, when the Simon Ring finally fully awakened, she was tied up as Daemon undid the mind control on her and told her that he will let her meet Mukuro. Chrome asked why now, which he replied that it's a perfect time because he can fight Mukuro with the fully awakened Desert Simon Ring. Chrome realized that he was using her to lure out Mukuro and shouted that she won't let it happen. Daemon replied that no one is here to listen to her opinion, the one who will decide is Mukuro and he opened the barrier of the island. Chrome urgently asked him to stop, but it's already too late and Daemon removed her illusionary organs to lure out Mukuro; as Chrome spit out blood, she silently pleaded Mukuro to not come but soon blacked out. After this, mist surrounded Chrome and Mukuro appeared, replacing her.

After the fight of Mukuro and Daemon, Mukuro leaves Chrome to Tsuna and changed back into Chrome. When she woke up she asks where is Mukuro and Tsuna replied that Mukuro had already defeated Daemon, making her glad. However, Chrome and the others were shortly surprised when they heard Mukurou, the box animal, speaking and knew that there was trouble regarding Mukuro's body in Vindice. Julie suddenly woke up and asked about the situation. Tsuna and Gokudera said that Daemon is still alive and is inside Julie which Chrome and Mukuro immidiately replied that he is no longer Daemon. Mukuro concluded that Daemon had taken over his body, surprising them. At the confrontation with Daemon, she was saved by Yamamoto from being sent to Daemon's illusionary world. She intended to assist Tsuna and Enma to see through Daemon's illusions but Daemon threatened that he will kill her with Mukuro and Reborn if she were to assist them and told them to watch. However, she finally interferes when Tsuna hesitates to shoot Enma along with Daemon by protecting Enma with her Barrier Mist Flames in full power that were also supported by Mukuro.

The Curse of the Rainbow Arc
Tsuna and the others are surprised to see that Chrome has been transferred to Nami Middle. She stood at the front of the classroom to introduce herself, but breaks down crying in Kyoko's arms. When discussing this between classes, Ryohei told them that according to what Kyoko has heard from Chrome, she was kicked out of Kokuyo Gang by Mukuro. Gokudera then commented that since Mukuro was free from jail, he doesn't need Chrome anymore. Tsuna seemed to have doubts about that representation of events. Reborn arrived and told them that he was convened by Mukuro to talk about Chrome. He was given her living expenses by Mukuro as well. Since Chrome has already arrived in Namimori, Reborn said that settling her in to either Kyoko or Haru's house would be for the best. Reborn then suggests a welcoming party for Chrome at Tsuna's house, with the theme of a mimicry contest. At the party, Chrome thanks everyone for throwing it for her with the moral support of Haru and Kyoko and holding a mimicry contest where the loser must become Chrome's errand boy for a year.

Later on the first day of the Representative Battle of the Rainbow, she was shown to be having a cold. After school, on her way home, she was approached by illusion that Mukuro created to check on whether she was getting better or not; seeing her, he states that her condition has worsened. Mukuro tells Chrome to tell him everything about her condition; otherwise, she was going to die, much to Chrome's shock. The next day, Tsuna noticed that Chrome was not present at school and wondered did something happened to her.

When Tsuna and his crew bumps into Kyoko, she tells that Chrome's internal organs are gone. He rushes in Chrome's room and sees that she was really worn out. Tsuna apologizes for not acting upon her absence even though he noticed it, but Chrome ignores this and requests to Tsuna that she be placed on Team Reborn. Tsuna tries to refuse, but Chrome pleads with him; despite that, Tsuna still refuses.

Mukuro Rokudo
Chrome is extremely loyal to Mukuro and admires him since he gave her a chance to live and the first person who claimed that he needs her, something that nobody or even her parents ever claimed. She really cares for him and opens up to him every time they communicate. She's willing to do anything to keep him safe as shown when she firmly said to Daemon that she won't help him and desperately told Mukuro not to come even though Daemon had removed her illusionary organs. Mukuro is also kind to her, but it is still 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. Future Mukuro also referred to her as an "ignorant little girl" since Chrome takes Mukuro's words and actions at face value. His feelings becoming much more complex and confusing especially after he was freed from Vendice Prison; he kicked Chrome out of his group and told Tsuna that he detest the current her, but yet, even after this statement, Mukuro still visits her and check her condition. 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 Joshima & Chikusa Kakimoto
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, 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. In Inheritance Succession Arc, both Ken and Chikusa were worried when Chrome came back crying after missing for few days and Ken tried to cheer her up by bought her many sweets, which he hotly denied when Chikusa realized his attention. Ken shows a fondness of her by buying her treats and blushing when she's mentioned at certain situations if she's not around.

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.

Tsunayoshi Sawada
Regardless of her connection with Mukuro, he sees Chrome as an important friend and always treats her nicely, just like he does to the other Famiglia members. During the Arcobaleno Trials Arc, he even brought her some onigiri since he knew she didn't eat much at the base, which Chrome accepted. Chrome also sees Tsuna as her boss and likes him since he is the only one who believed and accepted her as his guardian at the Mist Ring Battle and granted him a kiss, much to his embarassment (and Gokudera's anger).

I-Pin, Kyoko, & Haru
At first, Chrome is extremely shy towards all members of the Vongola Famiglia 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. In the future, after I-Pin offers her a bun to eat, however, Chrome starts warming up to the generosity of others. She then begins to help Kyoko and Haru prepare dishes for the boys. She then ate 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.

Daemon Spade
When Daemon, disguised as Julie Katou, first saw her, he had been taking a walk at Kokuyo Street and since then he had begun to stalk her, which Chrome never noticed. He had also secretly sent her a package of food after knowing that she had only been eating chocolate snacks. When he finally introduced himself to Chrome, he immediately confessed his love to her and asked her to go on a date with him after the Inheritance Ceremony was over and run away together with him. This was immediately refused by Chrome. After she was defeated along with Tsuna and the remaining guardians at the Inheritance Ceremony, he took her along with him, without her Vongola Ring. When she had woke up in his room, he flirtatiously offered her some dress and even offered her to help her change so they can "get to know each other well" and claimed that they are compatible to each other more than her and Mukuro. However, when he revealed his true identity, Daemon claimed that he intent to use Chrome as his tool to take over Mukuro's body. He is shown to be careless of her wellbeing and sees her as a mere bait to lure out Mukuro as shown when he removed her illusionary organs and taunted her in order for Mukuro to come save her so he could fight him. Chrome herself seems also dislike him much like the others, but after hearing his past and he dies, Chrome feels sorry and even cries for him as she comments that Daemon has finally found peace.

Appearance in other Media
She appear in the second volume of the Reborn! novel Hidden Bullet: 2X-Fiamma, which explained how she first met Ken and Chikusa: Chrome, who was still known as Nagi at that time, just discharged from hospital and on her way to Kokuyo Land as instructed by Mukuro, met Ken at Namimori Park. Ken, who fell asleep after arguing with Chikusa and separated from him met Chrome when he realized that he had slept on her lap and then Chrome fed him an apple when he's hungry, which Ken tearfully ate. She also appeared in the fourth volume of the Hidden Bullet novel. She also appears as a main character in the Drama CD 'Chrome Saw it! Happy Day at Kokuyo Land' is where she meets Lambo, who sees her learning Italian and tries to teach her. Then, she meets Tsuna and after some events, Lambo spills the bucket of water that Chrome had brought from the bathhouse for Ken onto her. Tsuna offers to let her go to her house to dry her wet Kokuyo uniform and change into dry clothes. While she is changing, Ken and Chikusa suddenly arrive at Tsuna's house and much to Tsuna's protests, Ken keeps banging on the door of the room Chrome is in and tells her to come out. When Ken actually says 'the pineapple head inside', Chrome switches with Mukuro and the latter uses his First Realm on Ken. At the end of the day, Chrome heads back with Ken and Chikusa but not before Tsuna asks why Chrome is with those two. She states that it is because Mukuro told her to and because they were her first comrades and she trusted them.
