Corona strength grows (using her power) when Hunter is in danger during battle or is about to be harmed.

History
Corona's oldest memories were that she had no family and of being adopted by the twins Senna and Menna. When they found her, Corona had a Manacle. It was not revealed to her until much later that she is Aqune's long lost sister. The pair were Oracle's Handmaid's in training apparently leaving Nuuma, when there transportation was attacked by Buzzrays. This incident may also explain the block in Corona's memory. Corona survived the crash, and was found wondering alone with nothing but her Manacle by Senna and Menna.

Corona first met Hunter while she was on patrol in the outskirts of the Arachna Kingdom. Upon discovering Hunter and Shadow, Corona escorted the new team to Arachna so they could be officially inducted to the ranks of the Spider Riders. Corona meet her sister again around the same time, but she was unable to recognize her due her amnesia. The pair fought over the Hill of Champions while Aqune and Buguese were investigating the monument in search of one of the Oracle Keys.

Corona encountered Aqune again inside the Oracle shrine. Corona managed to break Aqune's mask during their fight, this caused her sister to try and help the Spider Riders. When Buguese was about to finish off Hunter, Corona, unable to assist pleaded for someone to help Hunter. The Oracle heard her and channeled her power through Corona and Aqune to Hunter.

During the invasion of Arachna Castle, Aqune gained control of one of the Oracle Keys and attacked Hunter. Corona again demonstrated her innate ability to call upon the Oracle's power. She called to the second Oracle Key and Hunter was granted the power of the key from Nuuma, thus defeating the invading Invectid army.

Up until the Spider Riders journey to Nuuma, Corona still could not remember her childhood before being adopted by Senna and Menna. It wasn't until the ruler of the kingdom of Nuuma Queen Illuma explained that Corona and Aqune were sisters as well as Handmaidens that her memory began to return on it's own. During the siege of Nuuma Castle, Corona again used her power to help Hunter place one of their keys in the sphere needed to keep the castle aloft after Aqune had removed Nuuma's key from it's pedestal.

Corona watched as Buguese in the Dark Opal attacked her fellow Spider Riders. She also witnessed Dark Opal steal the last of Oracle's power from Hunter's two keys. After that Corona attempted to reach out to her sister as Aqune was forced by Mantid to attack her and the other riders. She and the others were saved by the intervention of Buguese, who removed Aqune's mask, thus permanently freeing her sister from the Invectids.

Corona accompanied her fellow Spider Riders on a mission to stop Mantid. Upon entering Fortress Mantid and confronting Mantid directly. Corona learned the leader of the Invectid people had in fact been a human. And not just any human, but an Earthen, a human from the Outer World. Corona used her powers as a handmaiden along with Aqune to help Hunter regain control over the Oracle's power. She grew worried for Hunter when he started to use the Oracle's power in anger. Corona, along with everyone else was witness to the sudden appearance of the Spirit Oracle herself when she appeared to stop Hunter's final blow. With Mantid gone and the Inner World safe, Corona then chased after Hunter along with everyone else while riding their spiders.

Besides the usual Spider Rider powers, Corona has shown to be able to tap into the Oracle's power, helping Hunter in tight spots.
