Biography[]

At the start of the series, Crystal is said to be a transgender woman. This piece of characterization is presented as a tongue-in-cheek commentary on her abrasive, intimidating demeanor. When Crystal loses a bet to Steve Smith in "Coming Out of the Casket", the latter canonically snips off the former's testicles.

At the start of the series, Crystal starts as a history professor before switching to Spanish in "Coming Out of the Casket" due to low student enrollment in history classes. By "Dean's List", however, she begins to transition back to the history department; despite starting on the Spanish team during the eponymous game, Crystal joins forces with the history team after the majority of the Spanish team dies. Later, in "The Perfect Lecture", Crystal states that, while she is primarily a Spanish professor, she also helps the history department. By "The Diamond Castle", Crystal has completely switched back to history, "Do You Know Who You Look Like?" being the last episode in which she teaches Spanish.
