Chronoa, the Supreme Kai of Time, governs the flow of time across the universe from the Time Nest. Originally an ordinary Kai over 75 million years ago, she ascended to her current position. Her early duties involved defeating the demon sorcerer Demigra and his allies Putine and Gravy, imprisoning Demigra within the Crack of Time. She solidified her authority by raising the divine bird Tokitoki to adulthood.
Petite and youthful in appearance, Chronoa possesses pinkish-purple skin and pinkish-red hair. She typically wears Supreme Kai robes, Potara earrings, and high-heeled boots. Despite her childlike look, she ranks among the oldest known Supreme Kais in Universe 7, being approximately 1,000 years younger than Elder Kai. Her personality mixes benevolence with sassiness; she maintains a friendly attitude towards Time Patrollers but is prone to angry outbursts, especially when Tokitoki interrupts her introductions. Chronoa adopts a laid-back approach to non-critical tasks, frequently delegating work to avoid effort, such as assigning Xeno Trunks to search Time Scrolls. Her notoriously poor cooking and housekeeping skills produce meals potent enough to incapacitate even deities like Beerus. She shows a keen interest in technology, often consulting Trunks about Capsule Corporation innovations.
Chronoa established the Time Patrol to counter temporal disruptions. She recruited Xeno Trunks by falsely accusing his time travel of being a "mortal sin," leveraging his guilt to secure an assistant, though she later preserved his timeline changes due to their noble purpose. She prioritizes protecting Tokitoki, its eggs, the Time Nest, and the Time Vault, forbidding combat near these areas even involving gods. Her relationship with Elder Kai is marked by mutual irritation; she mocks his age and lecherous behavior while he observes her increased rudeness over millennia. She actively discourages harassment within Conton City, warning characters like Oolong against misconduct.
In *Super Dragon Ball Heroes*, Chronoa significantly expands her capabilities. She unlocks the "Time Power Unleashed" form, gaining a taller, mature physique with a clock-like halo and enhanced temporal control. This form enables advanced techniques like "Time Labyrinth," sealing threats such as Mechikabura and the Demon Realm into the Crack of Time. During the New Space-Time War, Mechikabura brainwashes her, turning her against the Time Patrol. In this state, she exhibits robotic speech and a berserk persona, though Xeno Trunks later purifies her using the Key Sword. After recovery, she expresses remorse for her actions under influence and demonstrates forgiveness by allowing her former adversary Putine to join the Time Patrol as an intern. She mentors Putine strictly, emphasizing preserving history over personal curiosity.
Her earlier failure to mentor the first Time Patroller, Sealas, contrasts with her later successes. Sealas rebelled against her due to an inability to accept the necessity of preserving tragic historical events, leading Chronoa to imprison him. This experience informed her subsequent guidance of Trunks and other Time Patrollers, reinforcing her commitment to maintaining history's integrity despite its darker aspects, such as the deaths of other Supreme Kais at Majin Buu's hands.
Chronoa's development culminates in a more proactive role. After years of relying on Time Patrollers, she directly confronts major threats using her unleashed powers, prioritizing their safety over passive oversight. This shift underscores her evolving view of the Time Patrol as a familial bond she must protect.
