**Cardlin Isaiah Sanchez Jr.** is the oldest member and the leader of Chrysalis. He is one of the members of the Heartstrings Era back in 2018, which consists of Jace Blanchett, Amree Aguinaldo, and himself. He's the lead singer and often shares the center with his assistant leader, Amree Aguinaldo, in performances, even in panels. In HM studios, he's a voice actor (often shortened to VA) and a writer.

## **Personality**

Cj is usually very particular about everything, and seldom jokes about things. He takes his duties and responsibilities as Chrysalis' leader seriously, but he still has a good sense of humor. In HM, he's known to be very dependable and reliable to the staff and his members, and is described to be work and studyholic. He's very discreet, and like his father, he doesn't want his face to be revealed, as well as his voice as much as possible (though he was featured in a few videos in his father's channel). Cj also has a way of talking out to his members and will be kind of aggressive, but he means well (this is shown with Stefan's identity leak, when Cj showed anger towards the people involved, though he came around afterwards).

## **Physical Appearance**

He has natural jet black colored hair that he currently styled to look like Oh Sangwoo's hair, which has black colored roots and undercut, and the top of his hair is colored dirty blonde which was semi-curled. Cj's eyes is colored dark brown and he wears black framed glasses, although there are times he would wear contact lenses. His height is measured to be 5 feet and 6 inches.

Cj's never seen wearing a simple shirt around the studio; he's either wearing a flannel or a hoodie on top, sometimes in rare occasions, a sweatshirt. Lucas often teases him because he wears almost the shame shoes everyday, saying he needs to wear them out before buying a new pair. He wears dark colored jeans; hardly colored denim blue. Unlike Michael, Cj hates it whenever his hair is "standing" up, and doesn't use gel.

When he saw Amree hook her house gate's keys to one of her pants' belt loop, Cj started doing the same, only for his car keys.

## **Trivias**

* Cj's nickname for Amree is "Kit", and it came from Amree's first name, "Kathrine". This started in 2016, and from then on he never called her anything else.
	+ In return, Amree started calling him "Ice" from his second name "Isaiah".
* He's one of the few members in Chrysalis to have dyed their hair, the others being Lucas, Parker, Kaela, and Amree (though Amree's is is chalk-based, so it wasn't permanent).
* He resided in California with his father, and then returned to the Philippines when he was 11.
* Jace was Cj's classmate in preschool until Jace got homeschooled by his parents when he graduated from preparatory level to first grade.
* Cj won the title of being the group's leader by anonymous voting, with Amree in second, and Kaela and Jace tied for third.
* Kaela and Cj dated for a while but then split in early 2019. Even though both of them bicker a lot and labeled themselves as "frenemies", they're on good terms with each other.
* He's the most musically inclined member in Chrysalis, having the skills to play the guitar, ukulele, kalimba, piano, sometimes even the drums and violin. Also, he has the best singing voice and can hit tenor, the highest pitch a male could reach.
	+ Cj admitted he kept screaming whenever he got scared or surprised as a toddler.
	+ He hates the recorder, since he failed that lesson back in fourth grade music class.
* Cj was a theater kid in California, and had played the role of Romeo Montague in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. He accepted the role even though Cj actually hated Romeo's character for reasons most people don't know.
* Even with his "cold-hearted" ways, Cj is an animal lover, and has had many cats and dogs growing up. He also mentioned in a panel once that he loves to play with kids and take care of them; explaining why Luci is close to Cj than any of the male members.
* He's the "den father" or the "dad friend" of the group, being the oldest. Michael is the most mature member.
* He's one of the two people who can tell Stefan and Stefen Sanchez apart the first time they saw them. Lucas is the second.
* Cj and Amree had a deal that of he failed NNN, he will copy Sangwoo's hairstyle, and if Cj wins, Amree will have to bleach her own hair. Since Cj failed, he was forced to do it.
* He doesn't like the idea of piercings, as well as tattoos.
* A few of his biggest turn-offs are smoking, drinking, way too clingy, doesn't like kids and/or animals, and lying.
