Chrysalis is a character from the Wild Cards series of books. Chrysalis is the current owner/operator of the Crystal Palace, one of Jokertown's most well known nightclubs. She has blue eyes, almost totally transparent skin and muscle tissue, and no hair. She usually wears minimal amounts of clothing to emphasize this fact. She speaks with a convincing but false British accent. Chrysalis' primary occupation is the selling of information. She seems to know everything happening in New York, and will buy and sell anything anyone wants to know... for a price. She is one of the major players in Jokertown, although most of her work is done behind the scenes.

She had an intense affair with Yeoman. Chrysalis was also a reliable source of information for the ones willing to pay for it, until she was brutally murdered by Hiram Worchester (while he was under the influence of Ti Malice) in 1988.
