Love.

These are the words that define young Christian. An idealistic youth, and a great believer in these Bohemian ideals, Christian has been described as the voice of the Children of the Revolution, something that leaves him thrilled... and terrified. He is seen as being rather shy, one who becomes easily flustered and nervous when facing something exhilarating and new. It isn't until he can properly express himself through his words (and his song) that his talent can truly be appreciated.

A young man possessed of a passionate artistic soul, Christian felt he never had a true place in London circa 1899. Constantly under the stern eye of his father, who clearly had a very specific path set out for his whimsical son. No, Christian would have nothing of it – he meant to follow his heart, and wherever that took him, he would stay. Well, his heart would take him to Paris, where the fire of the Bohemian revolution began. His much more shy, quiet nature puts him in stark contrast against the much more loud, exuberant, and just plain exotic personalities of the other bohemians. It's clear that Christian led something of a sheltered life, incapable of experiencing many things until he arrived in Monmartre - overwhelming experiences for such an eager, dramatic mind to take in. Freedom was granted, and with that freedom, Christian's confidence grew.

Above all else – truly, above anything in the world – Christian believes in love. He takes that one emotion, and uses it to fuel his mind, body, and soul. His fantasy allows him to believe whole-heartedly that love is all you need. He possesses an almost child-like wonder about the notion of love, something his father would constantly claim as an unhealthy obsession.

Christian, tragically, fails to realize that his love, while impossibly innocent and pure, can very quickly become a poison, destroying the lives of all those around him. He can take the turn towards becoming unknowingly obsessed and possessive, though perhaps not the the extreme extent of his rival the Duke. Jealousy is a shocking new emotion for him, one that is cold and can easily drive him mad.
