Radical Dreamers

Chrono Cross

“	Go, Serge... save yerself. The troupe is only after Magil and me. If they find you alone, they'll let ya go... I told ya I'll be fine, mate... Don't worry. I remember now, Serge... who I used to be, long ago... Don't worry, I'm okay... I'll see ya again. Someday, I know I'll see ya again... without a doubt. Lucca's Chrono Trigger was lost... we couldn't even get our hand on the Frozen Flame... but, it's okay... it's all okay, because tonight, in my heart, a shiny new treasure was born, Serge... the single most valuable unstealable treasure in the entire world. Knowing who I am... It's bigger than all this... bigger than Lynx, bigger than the Frozen Flame... and, nothing can take that away... not as long as I'm alive... Goodbye, Serge... thank you...	„
	~ Kid to Serge

Background

Kid is the leading heroine of Radical Dreamers: Nusumenai Hōseki. On the outside, Kid presents herself as fun-loving, carefree, and fearless. Serge notes, however, that this personality is a facade; deep within, Kid broods over the death of her sister and surrogate mother, Lucca. She speaks with an Australian accent, which Serge says she commandeered due to her love of travel and adventure and includes colloquialisms like "mate" and "bugger" into her speech. Of the three thieves playable in the game, she is the only one that never, at any point in the game, faces the player directly.

Orphaned as a child, Kid is found and adopted by Lucca, a mechanics genius. She spent much of her early life in the care of Lucca, who often played a song for her and sometimes talked about the Flame and a deceased friend (probably Crono; Lucca noted that she wanted the Frozen Flame to be placed near his grave). During this time, Lucca works on reconstructing Chrono Triggers similar to the one presented by Gaspar, Guru of Time. One such prototype ends up in Kid's possession before she sets out on her adventures.

Kid is actually the incarnation of Schala. When the Ocean Palace destroyed the Kingdom of Zeal, Schala was consumed by Lavos and became the Dream Devourer. Schala felt tremendous guilt and sorrow over her actions, and the Frozen Flame picked up on these emotions and recreated her as Kid and sent her to an era much later in history.

In Riddel's Room, Kid finds a music box. When the box was opened, she started crying. The song that plays is the one Lucca sang to her when she was young.

After the final confrontation with Lynx in Viper Manor, Kid learns that Lynx allured her to the location to unite the Chrono Trigger with the Frozen Flame and exploit its conjoined power. Kid responds by shattering the Chrono Trigger, which transports her, Serge, and Gil to an alternate dimension. There, she discovers that she is the incarnation of Schala. Unlike the Kid from Chrono Cross, with whom this character is very similar, she embraces her identity as Schala and flees the Manor with her brother, Gil (whose real name is Janus), leaving Serge behind.

However, should the player take too long to make the game's final choice (both available options will result in the same ending, but delaying too long will result in a different turn of events), Lynx will stab Kid, who will, in what appear to be her final moments, take an unidentified object from her pocket, after which the screen will briefly flash before fading to black, followed by the credits. It is probable that she used the some or all of her gunpowder supply in an attempt to kill Lynx along with herself, and, as a side effect, most likely Serge and Gil. However, it is unclear whether or not she is successful. This possible sequence will still result in the game registering the standard ending in the player's record of completed endings.

Standard Equipment:

• Knife: Kid's main weapon she uses in combat.

• The Chrono Trigger: Helps in conjuring miracles. During the confrontation with Lynx, the party discovers he has lured them to into Viper Manor to unite the Chrono Trigger with the Frozen Flame. Brutally damaged in the fray, Kid asks Serge if she should give the item to Lynx or refuse. Either way, she breaks the device and sends the party into an alternate dimension, not unlike the End of Time, where she discovers she is the clone daughter of Schala and the meaning of her incarnation. The Chrono Trigger was given to Kid by Lucca, her foster big sister. It is specifically referred to as "Chrono Trigger".

Intelligence: Above Average (Far more skilled then Serge, able to easily take down goblin enemies despite the strength and size difference through using her wits and speed), Nigh-Omniscient with the Chrono Trigger (Capable of viewing the entire multiverse's history) | Unknown (Seemingly mindless, but is stated to make thoughts based off rage)

Standard Tactics:

Kid's normal style of fighting is quick moving and attacking, though she does show when she learns magic to use that far more often. Also when she is given the crystal she opens up with summoning.

Kid constantly rampages in this form and after a bit she will use Phantom Break, erasing many in a large radius.

Weaknesses: Brash and headstrong, making her do things without listening to Magil or Serge at times, this especially happens when she is extremely angry. Originally doesn't have magic out of the trio until the events of the sunflower ending. While she can break through seals it does damage to her.
