He Or She?

I think some man's character will fall in love in Chrona, and later will be found out that it is the boy (or on the contrary).

I'm dead sure Crona is a he because:

#1 - He blushes when he admits he's not good with girls
#2 - He himself and others consistantly and always refer to him as "boku," "he," "this dude," and "him."
#3 - He takes initiative to protect others (boyish)
#4 - When deviant artists draw Crona as a girl, it just looks.. not right: wrong and twisted! Like, WHY is he in a dress/cute clothes blushing like a girly girl? It just doesn't suit him!
#5 - His voice is shy-boyish more than it is weakly-girly
#6 - He apoligizes like a sad/embarassed introverted boy would when he (OR Ragnarok!) lifts Maka's skirt!
#7 - Crona wouldn't feel enough courage/strength in "herself" to refer to "herself" as "boku."
#8 - Crona and Maka's relationship seems more "you're the only one I can deal with" rather than just girlhood-friendship.

Well.. I had a bunch of other reasons I forgot.. SOOOO..
I can't find any signifigant evidence that Crona is a girl, other than his hair and dress. (Other than Ragnarok calling him a B-word in the manga, once.)
But that's just me, though.

I wrote this somewhere else originally, I'm just copying and pasting:

I'll be referring to Crona as a boy for simplicity's sake.

Let me start by saying that Crona's gender has /never/ been officially revealed. In Japanese, they only use gender neutral pronouns to describe him. Translators decide to choose "he" or "she" to make it easier to describe him since English lacks gender neutral pronouns. Medusa never states that Crona is her "daughter", only that he is her "child."

I'm going to list every single hint about Crona's gender that I can possibly think of right now, but I don't believe that anything is true, definitive proof so far.

Let's start with the hints of Crona being female:
-Wears a dress, although it may be a robe.
-Has a "girly" hair color. I personally don't agree with this, as many male characters have purple hair. (No, Crona's hair is not pink.)
-Young Crona wears what is most definitely a dress. Also looks and sounds like a girl.
-"Girly" figure. I've gotta disagree with this one too. Looks like a skinny boy to me, and not just because of the lack of boobs.
-Ragnarok tries to pull up Crona's dress and Crona is embarrassed and calls him a pervert.
-Female voice actor. (Kind of irrelevant)

Now for male Crona:
-Uses "boku", a Japanese word for "I" that is normally used by males. Females can use it too, but are /usually/ more of the outspoken, tomboyish type. And no, Crona could not have learned "boku" from Ragnarok because he uses "ore," not "boku."
-Eyes look more like how male eyes are drawn rather than female, although this could just be to make him look more tired.
-Despite the female voice actor, Crona still sounds boy-ish /most/ of the time.
-Crona says he "Doesn't know how to deal with talking to girls" and then blushes. He also blushes quite a bit when he's around Maka. Could just be shyness, I guess.
-In episode 31, Crona wears male formal wear while all of the girls wear dresses.
-Studies show that male children who are raised by abusive mothers will become weak and submissive like Crona, whereas females usually become hateful and resentful. But once again, this is anime we're talking about, so it could be different.
-And finally, the most definitive piece of evidence I can think of, and the fact that makes me think that Crona is very likely male, is this: Witches can clearly only be female, so if Crona were really Medusa's daughter, she would be a witch too. It's clear that Crona is not a witch at all though because not only would it have been mentioned, but it specifically was stated that he /isn't/ a witch. In episode 12, when Medusa is at that witches meeting thing at the beginning, she says to Eruka, "I'm not the only one who brought non-witches." The only think I can think of that could contradict this evidence is either a plot hole or that there really is some logical reason for Crona being female, but not being a witch.

So there ya go, that's everything I've got. I really do hope we find out what Crona's gender is eventually though. No matter what the result, he will always be one of my all-time fav characters 'cause he's just so awesome. XD One thing I'm worried about, however, is that they'll pick a random gender for him in the dub. I really hope they don't, in case they end up choosing the wrong one or something. o__o

Oh yeah, and as for the argument of "Crona's name would be Crono if he were a guy," that is untrue for many reasons. There are many male characters with names ending with an "A." Not only that, but Crona's name is actually the last 3 letters of Ragnarok's name in Japanese, but flipped around.(ra-gu-na-ro-ku; ku-ro-na) It seems that his name can also mean "dark one" or something along those lines.

Hopefully this clears some stuff up~ I'd also love to be able to add more things to this list if anyone thinks of anything I missed.

I think Crona's a she, I don't really know why, maybe because of the way she smiles xD Personally I just really want her to be a girl because I'm a big fan of the
Crona X Death the kid pairing.
