La Croix

"...Madness? I object to that."

La Croix, formerly known as Shirome Artiste, is Promestein’s right-hand and the elder sister of Chrome. During an experiment with her sister, which resulted a catastrophic explosion that nearly killed Shirome, she made herself into a zombie and left Chrome, where Shirome's emotions slowly faded as she tried to find a way to resurrect herself.

Alice XV (Fifteenth) cast her family out, as La Croix was deemed insane. She later became Promestein's right-hands and serves as a member of the Seekers of Truth.

Monsterpedia Entry
"A talented monster that was the most skilled practitioner of the Artiste family techniques. Great things were expected of her, especially in the field of necromancy. But in an accident, she turned herself into a zombie after being critically injured protecting her sister. After that, her necromantic research intensified, even going so far as to assassinate famous monsters. Due to her egregious actions, the Monster Lord banished her. On the run, she was eventually recruited by Promestein who was impressed by La Croix's knowledge of biology, surpassing even her own.

''A great deal of energy is needed to maintain her undead form, requiring many men be sacrificed for their semen. As her life grew on, her research turned into an obsession with reclaiming a true, living flesh and blood body."''

Attacks

La Croix's Mod: Binded attack that leads to a one-hit KO via instant follow-up. Follows Necrohold.

Battle Overview
Sylph and Undine won't do much to evade, so Gnome will not only help stave off damage, but escape her bind Necrohold otherwise a one-hit KO La Croix's Mod will occur. The rest is otherwise straightforward.

If Luka falls, La Croix rapes him using her modified vagina until the point of his death.

Evaluation
"Having a subordinate like that... Promestein, this isn't over yet... Ah, excuse me. Don't worry about that... Sylph and Undine don't have much effect on evasion. Since her restraint moves are also a threat, you should use Gnome here. Since you won't be able to avoid any damage, you should save some SP for healing at all times. Now go, oh brave Luka. Destroy that horrible necromancer, and bring calm back."

Trivia

 * La Croix is French for The Cross, a symbol of Christianity. This may be a reference to her raising of the dead.
 * Her costume is a reference to the plague doctors from the Renaissance era. The doctors would wear the cloak, hat, and gloves to protect themselves from infected people. They also stuffed the bird mask's beak with herbs to ventilate the air and protect themselves from breathing the plague.
 * La Croix's original name, Shirome, is a play on her sister's; in Japanese 'Chrome' is pronounced "Kurome". "Kuro" means black and "Shiro" means white, which also describes the sisters' respective hair and clothing colours.
 * La Croix shares her battle theme with Giganto Weapon and Laplace.
 * According to Torotoro's blog, the Artiste's family Ressurection skill can increase a subject's physical abilities to 130%~150% but in exchange for the reduction of it's magical ones.
