## Character

### **Personality**

As someone who’s lived in the shadow of “royalty” and dealt with the reality of a grim fate since he was born, one can’t be surprised at the timidness Crisanto carries himself with. He’s shy, isn’t terribly inclined to speak up, and keeps to his hobbies and his hobbies to himself. If his head isn’t buried in the pages of a sketch journal, then it’s most certainly being kept down to keep unwanted attention at arm’s length. But this reclusiveness does not define him, and should someone wish to acquaint with Crisanto, they’ll find that he is a highly passionate young boy who takes his craft seriously. To him, his interests are art. This is in no small part due to these hobbies being remnants of a simpler, more pleasant time he can call his mind upon. Delve even further, and one will find that Crisanto is not just passionate, but opinionative. There is hardly a single idea, topic, or action that he has not formed an opinion towards, and his friends are sure to know the extent of his thoughts on something brought up. In private, he can even find a little sass in himself. He tends to ramble and stutter, but what he has to say can often be enlightening. He certainly thinks long and hard before stumbling onto his beliefs. Because of the losses he has experienced, Crisanto can wind up a little defensive, and even emotional when confronted with his own coping mechanisms, among other things. Almost directly in response to this, he’ll often revert to fantasies of his own creation: mostly imaginings of some hypothetical future where he’s successful, or his happier years, or even some combination of the two.

This results in Crisanto being rather distracted, and it can be difficult to pull him out of his own mind. And being a creative person, it’s almost like waking up a sleep-walker. Though he does get angry sometimes, he never seems to cross a line, and has seldom pushed away a friend through temperament alone. And given his social anxiety, it’s his restraint that has helped him maintain his small circle. Essentially, though, Crisanto is a staunchly dedicated individual, willing to support his passions and, above all, his friends and storymates. Realizing that he can find happiness for himself after all this time, even if just in the fleeting things, he hopes to help the people close to him, and ensure that they can all enjoy their story together. exudes a calm and collected energy. He is commonly considered to be the most decent and least hardcore of his siblings. After all, if you had to choose to be locked in a room with at least one of them, Crisanto would be the most logical choice. He isn't much of a hero, but he is very good with people. He is charismatic and outgoing. He is shown to be very socially intelligent. While mostly effortless on his part, Crisanto tailors his personality to appeal to the people he is with. This is why he is so well-liked among others. Like his cousins, everything he does is calculated to some extent. Unlike his twin, their motives for being like this are different. Crisanto wants to be a comforting and friendly presence for others, and if he has to design his personality so that others will talk to him, then why not? He is friendly, empathetic and encouraging to other people, especially in difficult times. Like his cousins, Crisanto can be very protective, but he is not known to jump in until the last minute. He doesn't get directly involved unless he absolutely has to. This is owed to his cool and calm nature, as it takes a lot to rattle him.

### **Friends**

#### Marikit Santos (Daughter of Mayari)

Crisanto and Marikit have a complex relationship with each other. They're cousins, yes, but they also kinda... hate each other. Why? You may be asking, well it's because of their parents. You see, Bathala, the creator of the world, had a son named **Apolaki** and a daughter named **Mayari**. The light that shone upon the world and enabled the people, the beasts, the birds, and the fish to see came from the bright eyes of Apolaki and Mayari, So all the creatures loved them dearly. Bathala himself was very fond of his children, and he watched over them as they wandered across the meadows of heaven. Since the eyes of Apolaki and Mayari shone continuously, it was always day on the earth. In time Bathala grew feeble with age and died. Then Apolaki and Mayari had a quarrel, for each wanted to rule the world alone. *“I am the man and I will succeed my father to the throne,”* said Apolaki. *“I am going to rule the world, whether you like it or not.”* Mayari’s eyes flashed with anger and she said, *“I am no less my father’s child than you. I will succeed him to his throne, whether you like it or not!”* The quarrel grew from bad to worse, and finally words could not express their furious rage. So they picked up wooden clubs and fell upon each other with fierce blows. Back and forth they fought until at last Apolaki struck Mayari in the face and she became blind in one eye. When he saw his sister stricken, Apolaki took pity on her and said, *“Let us fight no more, my sister. Let us share our father’s kingdom equally between us. Let us reign by turns and be friends.”* Mayari agreed, and from then on, Apolaki, whom we know today as the Sun, has ruled the world half the time. Mayari, whom we now know as the Moon, has taken turns with her brother in ruling the world. When Apolaki is on the throne, the world is flooded with warm light, because the light beams from his two bright eyes. On the other hand, when Mayari is reigning, the world is bathed with cool and gentle light; for she is blind in one eye. So because Apolaki, Crisanto's father, blinded Mayari, Marikit's mother, they kinda don't like each other, but they can get along at times, but like their parents.
