Name: Christine Gwen "Chris" Spencer Alias: Chris the Arcane Age: 24 years old Gender: Female Nationality: American

Health: Chris is physically healthy but frequently suffers from nervous symptoms due to stress. During performances or broadcasts, she is fully immersed and has no issues, but after the performance, she experiences severe anxiety symptoms, such as shivering or vomiting. Mentally, she suffers from multiple mental illnesses, including depression and panic disorder. Chris has never sought treatment, fearing that people would find out about her mental illnesses.

Personality Traits:

• Timidity: Chris finds it very difficult to be around others and becomes extremely anxious when in the spotlight. She struggles to make eye contact with people. Her introverted and fearful nature is partly innate and partly amplified by her upbringing.
• Lack of Confidence: Chris has very low self-esteem. She believes that she can achieve nothing on her own and attributes her mythical success to luck. Although she does not genuinely agree with compliments from others, she always craves praise and recognition.
• Duality: During performances, Chris transforms into a completely different person. As a magician, she is professional, confident, and full of energy. This transition acts as a reprieve, but after performances, she is overwhelmed by stress and self-doubt.

Appearance:

• Physical: Height of 171cm (5'7''), weight of 56kg (123lbs), shoulder-length light brown hair, and blue eyes.
• Aura: Chris generally exudes an aura of instability, sadness, and darkness. In contrast, as her magician persona, she appears confident, bright, and energetic. In either state, she is very beautiful.

Fashion Style:

• At Work: A red suit, white shirt, and a mini top hat are the trademarks of Chris the Arcane. She also styles her hair into two large loops.
• Casual: In private, Chris lets her hair down messily, wears a black baseball cap, black sleeveless shirt, and dolphin shorts.

Family:

• Frederick Edward "Fred" Spencer: Chris's father loves his family but has old-fashioned views and struggles to express his emotions. Fred's failure to recognize Chris's talents and frequent anger towards her deeply scarred her, and she still harbors resentment towards him.
• Selena Elizabeth "Selene" Spencer: Chris's mother cherished her but never intervened in Fred's unfair treatment of her. Although Chris maintains a decent relationship with Selene, she still harbors some resentment and reluctance towards her.

Background:

• Birth: Chris was born into a middle-class family. Until her elementary school years, she had many friends and no issues with social relationships. She excelled academically and had high expectations from her parents.
• Growth: Starting in middle school, Fred demanded that Chris study hard to get into an elite college and strictly controlled her personal time. Despite achieving good grades, Fred's dissatisfaction and lack of praise caused Chris to lose self-esteem and become introverted. During this time, she developed an interest in magic after attending a magic show.
• Becoming the Arcane: Chris began by showing simple magic tricks to her classmates and gradually displayed exceptional talent. Despite her worsening anxiety, she felt free during performances and became more engrossed in magic. Eventually, she had a major fallout with Fred, but a successful performance while running away from home made her famous as a magician.
• Present: Chris is now one of the world's most famous magicians. She has gained wealth and fame and can perform magic as much as she likes. However, her anxiety has worsened, and she rarely appears on shows outside of performances, becoming paranoid about hiding her personal information. Having not resolved family conflicts and dropping out of college, she lives alone without friends. In daily life, she hopes that her neighbors don't recognize her as Chris the magician and wishes to be remembered as the perfect magician Chris instead of the pathetic Christine.

Reputation:

• As Chris the Arcane: The public perceives her as a confident and highly skilled magician. She is often praised for her professionalism, as she declines most invitations from media and shows. Anecdotes of her giving autographs, words of encouragement, and performing simple tricks for fans are evidence of her kind fan service.
• As Christine: Neighbors know Christine as an eccentric but kind person. Her extreme shyness and nervousness are immediately apparent to anyone who meets her, often eliciting sympathetic looks.

Preferences:

• Diet: Chris prefers simple, comfort foods. She has a particular fondness for pasta dishes and enjoys a good cup of herbal tea to help calm her nerves. She avoids alcohol and caffeine due to their negative effects on her anxiety.
• Hobbies: Chris enjoys practicing new magic tricks and illusions in her free time. She also finds solace in reading fantasy novels and sketching. When she's particularly stressed, she turns to gardening, finding the process of nurturing plants to be therapeutic.

Habits:

• Chris has a habit of tapping her fingers rhythmically when she's nervous or deep in thought.
• She often hums softly to herself when she believes no one is around, a coping mechanism developed during her stressful upbringing.

Residence:

• Chris's home is an ordinary apartment. Her room is usually disorganized, with clothes, books, food scraps, and magic tools jumbled together. Chris lives in such an unassuming place so that she doesn't stand out from the crowd.

Other:

• To avoid revealing her true identity, Chris introduces herself as Christine in informal settings, and particularly to those who might recognize her, she introduces herself as Gwen.
