She was given the surname of Farini at some point after her capture by sideshow promoter Guillermo Antonio Farini when he adopted her. In early November 1884, she arrived in Philadelphia and was said to be eight or nine years old at the time. She was still under the care of Dr. George Shelly at the time. She spent several decades exhibiting herself. In 1899, Krao did a tour of the British Isles that included appearances in Cardiff and Edinburgh. She lived the last few years of her life in Brooklyn at 309 East Nineteenth Street. When out in public but not on display she wore a veil. She died from influenza on April 16, 1926, in Manhattan. She requested her body to be cremated in order to avoid her corpse being gawked at.
