Biography
History
Koron-chan was once a doll, who was bought by a rich girl. However, that rich girl soon bought a new doll, forgetting about Koron-chan, and abandoning her. Dr. Faker then picked her up and gave her a life. It is later revealed that Grandpa Demetto was the one who gave her a soul, giving her "humanity".
Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL
After jumping into the Speed Loader's river field in order to save Yuma, Tori and Cathy got totally wet. They then find a room with some female clothes, and borrow a dress for each. There, Yuma and his friends find a big door after a staircase, which they pass by, entering a dark room, decorated with lots of dolls, and featuring a big stairway leading to a Doll House. Suddenly, Koron-chan, another popular character from the Heartland Theme Park, comes down the stairs, holding a candlestick. She initially greets them, but when Cathy replies, she notices Tori and Cathy are using clothes from hers. The girls try to excuse, but Koron-chan doesn't listen to them, and enraged, throws the candlestick, which surrounds them with flames, and challenges Yuma to a Duel.[1]
Koron-chan quickly Summons her "Number", "Number 22: Fran Ken" (called "Ken-chan" by her), totally overpowering Yuma. However, at a certain point of the Duel, Yuma asks her why is she so obsessed in winning and serving Mr. Heartland, and if she had any personal reasons like the previous assassin. She then tells Yuma and his friends about her past, and crying, yells that she doesn't want to be a miserable doll anymore. That feelings reach Cathy, who revealed she was the girl that abandoned her. Tori tries to soften Cathy's past acts in order to help Yuma concentrate in the Duel, but Koron-chan rages, and throws oil in the fire surrounding them, making it even higher. They then continue the duel.[2]
However, due to a strange event involving her "Number" and Yuma's "Gagaga Girl", she loses the Duel. The impact of "Utopia's" attack throws Koron directly to the fire wall. At that time, Cathy dives into the flames and tries to save her, saying that she was the one who abandoned Koron, and had to save her. Cathy's noble attitude makes Yuma, Bronk and Flip get shocked, but in the hurry, Cathy mistakes and gets out of the fire carrying one of Koron's doll. This time, Yuma goes to the flames to save Koron, but, who appears to save both, who would be burnt by the flames, is the one who gave Koron a soul - Grandpa Demetto. While he sends Yuma and Koron out of the fire, he is engulfed by the flames together with the field. Koron mourns the death of Demetto, who she loved. As she had nowhere to go now, Yuma invites her to live with him in his house, and says that everybody that Duels him becomes his friend. In tears, Koron forgives Cathy, and accepts Yuma's invitation, becoming friends with him and the rest of the gang.
Yuma, the Numbers Club and Koron-chan then run to a railway bridge in order to escape from the Heartland Theme Park, but the exit is locked, and Kite and Orbital 7 appear. Kite challenges Yuma to a Duel in order to obtain his "Numbers", but Mr. Heartland shows up interrupting them. Apparently, Mr. Heartland had a plan to get rid of Yuma and takes his "Numbers", as his assassins were defeated. However, Kite refuses to follow his method, and, with no option, triggers Orbital 7's self-explode mechanism, which destroys the bridge. But as Yuma and his friends fall down in the water, Kite saves them, and let them escape. Koron explains to the gang that Kite has became a Numbers Hunter to protect his little brother, who is ill.[3]
