### Nights of Azure

After the Blue Blood was spilled onto the world, some of the people who were affected by it were able to retain their humanity. One of them, Master Christoph, gathered these half-bloods, Christophorus being among them, and brought them to Ruswal Island where they could live as artists studying music side by side with normal humans. When the Curia discovered this, they burned the entire island down for heresy. Everything Christophorus has left of her past are music sheets named "Darkness Research" which she holds dearly.

### Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon

Christophorus wanders the streets of Eurulm looking for the now rampaging Arnice, who she can sense is near, and for an item that could remind her of her lover, Lylisse, to bring her back to sanity.

She comes in contact with Aluche, who she decides to help in her quest. She informs Aluche that she's capable of saving other people affected by the blue blood if she drinks it out of them, causing this however to bring her closer to a demon and lose her mind. Christophorus is particularily helpful in locating and reconstructing the pieces of the Memory Mirror, used to board the Ghost Ship. Christophorus tells Aluche a tale for every piece of the Memory Mirror she collects, as each one contains a memory attached to a certain feeling. The tale she talks about is that of Arlstromeria and Malvasia, a human knight and a demon who fell in love with each other but where despised by society because of their differences. The human decided to kill the demon only to then commit suicide, so they could live together happily in the afterlife.

After Arnice is saved, Christophorus joins her at her side.
