Kurumu Kurono (黑乃 胡夢 Kurono Kurumu) is a Succubus, and is considered to be the second most beautiful girl at Yōkai Academy, only losing in charm to Moka Akashiya. Because of this, she is initially jealous of Moka Akashiya's popularity overshadowing her own. She tries to seduce Tsukune Aono and the male student body, using her charming techniques (through her Succubus abilities, including her busty physique), making them her slaves. This is so she can find her "destined one", in order to save her diminishing species, with the assumption that Moka is blocking that path. After Tsukune persuades the unsealed Moka to spare her, she becomes infatuated with Tsukune, starts harboring feelings for him.
Appearance:
Kurumu Kurono is the second most beautiful girl at Yōkai Academy. Therefore she is loved and admired by everyone. She is 15 years old and is about the same height as her rival, Moka Akashiya (in the manga, Moka is actually taller than her). However: All the girls at Yōkai Academy, (even Moka) are no match for her when it comes to her Sex symbol. She has light ocean blue hair and dark purple color eyes. At school she wears a different kind of uniform than most of her classmates. She wears a long-sleeve white blouse (which later becomes short-sleeved) with a tight yellow sweater (because she wants to be sure that everyone at school can see that her breasts are the biggest of all) and a bow tie, and a yellow pleated checkered skirt. Her appearance doesn't really change when she transform into a succubus, she gets wings, a tail, and large sharp claws.
Personality:
While she does continue to tease and try to seduce Tsukune, it is clear that she possesses true and honest feelings for him- she's been shown to be willing to risk her life for him numerous times throughout the anime and manga. In the manga, Kurumu is shown to be a kind and soft-hearted girl who loves her rivals for Tsukune's love like sisters, tenderly comforting and supporting them in their moments of sadness, as well as defending them when they are in danger. This kind-hearted character-trait is downplayed in the anime in favor of a more typical "flirt" character, although the kind-heartedness is still present, and in reality, she is actually an innocent character. Despite this, an often running gag in both series is when she uses her breasts to seduce Tsukune, which, more often than not, makes his nose bleed and causes him to suffocate. She also attempts to use baked sweets laced with love potions to secure his affections, though they never seem to reach him. Also, no matter where they are, she somehow manages to interfere with any tender moment between Tsukune and Moka, often by appearing when least expected.
In an omake, Kurumu reveals she has a serious weakness for sweets, to the extent that she once ate poisoned cookies that she made and planned to give to Moka. The incident seems to have bought her some control over this trait, as the aforementioned love sweets are intact whenever they appear.
Also, despite her competition for Tsukunes' affection, she saved Mizore when she tried to commit suicide because she was kissed by another man and she even french kissed Mizore to prove to her that a forced kiss is meaningless.
Under the influence of Lilth's Mirror, Kurumu acts in a very perverted manner such as taking off her top directly in front of Tsukune.
Ironically, Kurumu seems to have a fear of flying objects (other than herself, hence the irony), as shown when she stiffened and squealed while on an airplane going to Hong Kong.
Abilities:
Manga:
Described as a tough character, Kurumu sports a pair of bat wings, tail and razor-sharp nails in her true form, and has notable strength (seen when carrying people during flight, and slicing trees in half). Being a succubus, Kurumu possesses powers of 'Allure,' which she can use to hypnotize males. In most cases, Kurumu's 'Allure' only lasts for a few moments, but it has been shown to last a couple of hours on a single casting as seen on Tsukune. Although it should be noted that she was trying to use her power on an entire crowd, and Tsukune was in extremely close range.
According to legend, if a succubus kisses a male, he will then become her permanent slave; Kurumu admits, however, that she had never used this power beforehand, being young. However, after meeting Tsukune and Moka, Kurumu vows never to use her powers to win Tsukune over, wishing to capture his heart 'fair and square' (somewhat).
Later on, Kurumu displays further powers, employing the use of strong illusions to wrap vines around a slug Yōkai who was blackmailing her in order to take ecchi pictures of her and defeated him completely. Despite being sealed, Inner Moka was stunned that Kurumu displayed such power as the power of illusions is usually displayed by higher ranked succubus. As of the second manga serialization, she is learning basic witchcraft to help with the strength of her illusions and along with Mizore; she was trained by Ginei during the summer break in hand-to-hand combat in an effort for the two to become strong enough to overcome Inner Moka in a fight. She and Mizore are the same power level.
Anime:
Unlike in the manga, Kurumu's anime incarnation does not display any illusionary or reality-bending abilities what-so-ever. She retains the 'Allure' power, although it's called charm, and the traditional succubus wings and tail along with her claws. Through the many fights she engages in, many against types of opponents she absolutely detests, she grows strong very quickly, strong enough to take on her own mother in a one-on-one fight. She also has great singing ability, great enough to shatter thick ice created by a Yuki-Onna.
