Ms. Chono, known in the English version of the Dungeon Dice Monsters video game as Miss Lynn Medusa, is a teacher at Domino High School.
She is known as the The Wicked Witch of Expel (Lynn, the Expelling Witch in the English DDM game and also in the manga), since she expelled fifteen students over the course of six months, thus earning her the nickname.
Her beautiful appearance is due to the immensely thick layer of make-up she wears, which covers her true, ugly face. She also enjoys dating, but the part she likes the best was to dump the men to see them cry and she actually considers it to be a hobby.
Biography
Manga
Ms. Chono was furious about getting dumped by a man she dated, before she got a chance to do it the other way around, and decided to vent her anger on a class which happened to be Yugi's with a desk check, hoping to see them scared and finding a chance to expel them for finding "cool" things such as cigarettes, lipsticks, and condoms. She found a love jigsaw puzzle on Miho Nosaka's desk, and asked who it belonged to.
She claimed that if the sender would confess, she may forgive him, which was a lie; she planned to expel the sender anyway. Yugi, Katsuya Jonouchi and Hiroto Honda all stood up, and indicated that the puzzle came from each of them. Not believing them, Chono decided to finish the puzzle to determine who the gift was from. Honda cursed Chono, saying that Ribbon was the one who was being hurt the most and one scene even showed Miho crying.
Dark Yugi emerged from the Puzzle and turned the gift into a Shadow Game, where Chono felt the pain she was inflicting on others as she worked on the puzzle. When she finished the puzzle, her makeup turned into puzzle pieces and fell off, revealing her ugly face beneath. The other students laughed at her, causing her to run out of the room, stating that the class never happened, and that she would get anyone who exposes her secret. Yugi later emerged, unable to remember what had happened and seemed confused that class was over. Although Miho turned Honda down, this formed the basis for his permanent friendship with Yugi. [1]
Anime
In the anime, the gift was supposed to be from a girl named Mayumi to Jonouchi but Anzu Mazaki actually made it as Mayumi didn't know what to give Jonouchi.
Ms. Chono is a teacher at Domino High and whose beauty is a strong talking point for most of the male students and teachers who remark about how beautiful she is, not realizing her beauty is simply the result of make-up. Despite this, Chono is very strict and regularly attempts to get the rules upgraded to stricter terms which would include the banning of all personal items and an increase in punishment for those who do.
When Anzu complained about the strictness of the school, Chono asked Anzu to collect signatures from other students in a petition asking for laxer rules. Unbeknown to her, Chono had recruited some boys to rip up Anzu's signature paper with the exchange that she'd erase their rule-breaking from their permanent records for doing so.
After Yugi witnessed the meeting, his other self, Dark Yugi emerged and challenged Chono to a game involving two mirrors and being blindfolded.
Realizing that Chono had cheated and used her position to hurt Anzu, Dark Yugi inflicted a Penalty Game, causing her beautiful appearance to fall off like jigsaw pieces while finally revealing her true face which was so dry that it resembled a mummy. Humiliated, Chono fled the classroom, crying and covered her face to avoid being detected.
When she reacted angrily to a proposal, insisting things had to be stricter, Chono's newly make-up began to crack, causing her to flee the room while her male colleagues remarked that there was more make-up than skin on her face. She was later seen in the bathroom, desperately trying to preserve her make-up while demanding to know why it wouldn't stay in place. It's presumed that Dark Yugi's Penalty Game is a permanent effect and as such, whenever Chono attempts to lie, her face will continue to crack. [2]
She later appeared with Ryuichi Fuha and had her face cracked again although her ugly self was not seen. It was used to introduce the next scene instead.[3]
Lastly she appears in episode 18, teaching the class. However, as she didn't do anything bad this time, her face doesn't crack.
Personality
Chono is a sadist, getting pleasure from humiliating or inflicting pain on others. She also likes dumping men because she feels it's her job, and was infuriated that one of her boyfriends did so first before she had a chance to. She abused her privileges as a teacher and expelled many students simply to satisfy herself.
She also has a strong dislike of children as seen in the Japanese anime. She is also sneaky, sly, cunning and very manipulative, often getting her male colleagues onto her way of thinking by seducing or pretending to be coy. She also lets other schoolboys help her in exchange for having their previous rule-breaking events erased from their records.
Chono's one weakness is her face whose true nature she goes to great lengths to keep concealed.
