Croix Meridies' most defining trait is her self-obsession. She is a calculating, selfish, dark, dangerous, ruthless, and conceited woman who cares mostly about herself and her goal to acquire Grand Triskellion and started the Second Ragnarok by any means necessary. This all stemmed from rejected by Shiny Rod, the very thing she sought to acquire Grand Triskellion, which chose her best friend Chariot instead and the said friend not took her quest for Seven Words of Arcturus seriously. Though initially decided to entrusted her dream for Grand Triskellion to Chariot, her resentments grows to the point of her loathed her best friend and have equally fierce resentment towards Flash and Woodward.

In the same colors as her suit, she also wears a large red cape and high-heeled boots. Sometimes she wears purple-rimmed sunglasses. As a student, Croix's hair was significantly longer and wore eyeglasses, in somewhat of an inversion of Chariot's (whose hair was originally short and later started wearing glasses) disguise as Ursula.
