“	Hey there, I’m Crystal. Just plain Crystal. Why? Because all the mega divas have just one name, know what I mean? So what’s the news?	”
	—Crystal, The Urbz: Sims in the City for handheld

Crystal is an Urb residing in Miniopolis from The Urbz: Sims in the City for handheld. She is a writer for the fashion magazine, Vague^[1], and is part of the Streeties. Crystal actually lives in SimCity, but is visiting Miniopolis as research for her magazine.

Biography[]

Crystal can usually be found in Urbania in front of the Jail, in the Slice O' Life pizza bar during the night, in and around the Glasstown Megamall, in Zeke's Club Zydeco and Miniopolis Chronicle. She is characterized as a fashionista who values being hip, fashionable, going to parties, and doing anything except for 'being lame; she is not the most intelligent.

Crystal's parents own Club Xizzle, and this is relevant in Mission 2, Goal 5: Club Xizzle. After the player learns about the existence of the club from her friend Lottie Cash, the player goes to Crystal to figure out how to get into the club. In response, Crystal tells the player that she will spend 24 hours with them to prove themselves worthy of knowing where the club is.

First, the player needs to take Crystal to Slice O' Life, where she will ask the player to buy her a slice of pizza. Then, Crystal will ask to play games with them. After using the dance machine in the bar, Crystal asks the player to go shopping. The player has to take Crystal to the Second Looks Thrift Emporium, but Crystal thinks it has "some lame junk," and the player has to go to the gift shop, Drifter Woods, in Urbania, buy Crystal something and give it to her^[2].

Once Crystal is satisfied, Crystal explains Xizzles and beads to the player. Alongside that, Club Xizzle's entrance in Urbania reveals itself. However, Crystal refuses to let the player know how to get into the club, telling them that they have to figure out how to get into the club themselves. If the player looks at the message board in the Miniopolis Chronicle, there will be a note left on it by Crystal saying that the P.W. (password) for C.X. (Club Xizzle) is 'Bucket'. You can also find the password written on a note that Heidi Shadows sells.

Crystal will always show up as a guest in in Mission 3, Goal 4, Get on the List. Since she is not a nerdie or a richie, the player has to let her in no matter what in order to complete the goal.

The last mission that Crystal appears in is Mission 5, Goal 5, Atlantis Premiere Party, where, if the player is male, Crystal asks the player to accompany her to the premiere of Tycoon! Tycoon!: The Daddy Bigbucks Story... and get her tickets to go in the first place. The player will need to talk to Lily Gates to get the tickets. If the player is female, this mission is started by Maximillian Moore instead.

Crystal is the main character in the GBA Urbz Comix drawn by R Stevens. In the comic, she is seen trying to get into a VIP Room but is blocked by the Bouncer.

Trivia[]

In the game, Crystal's eye color is brown, while in her comic appearance her eyes are green.
According to a promotional video, Crystal is nineteen.
Even though her hair and eyebrows are the same color, her response to talking about Science or Teasing her makes it seem like she dyed it.
If the player uses the dance machine in Slice O' Life when Crystal is currently on the map, Crystal will always join the player on the machine.
According to Harlan King, Crystal is the Urb that Darius has to kick out of Club Xizzle the most often.
When playing Mission 2: Goal 5, if your Urb goes to sleep, Crystal will get upset and she will leave. If you play a minigame, she will still hang out with you.
