Trivia

• Crina's name is derived from crinodea, the class containing crinoids and sea lillies. It could also serve as a corruption of the English name Karina.
• According to Goldenheart388, Crina's Hasslemon handle is dentalOptics (DO). The handle relates to Crina's long-held belief (based on a common misconception by many Pokemon fans even to this day) that the two false eyes on her head are her real eyes, whereas her actual real eyes are her teeth.
• According to Goldenheart388, Crina's English character theme is "Upside Down" by the A*Teens. The song, which was originally one of the songs in contention for the character theme of Ananpi, was ultimately given to Crina due to it serving as a representation of her crazy, ditzy, party-girl lifestyle, while also delving a bit into her mischievousness and penchant for jokes. Her Japanese character theme, meanwhile, is "Sugar Song to Bitter Step" by Unison Square Garden, best known as the ending theme for Kekkai Sensen.
