Looks
Hair colour and style: Brown hair, long enough to style that Christopher chooses as to whether he wishes to bother with it. Most days he does, but even when he doesn't it still looks good. Or so Christopher believe.
Eye colour: Brown.
Height: 6 foot 2.
Body type: Christopher likes sports, so he's relatively toned. Though not muscly, he is average for the most part, though he will show off when he can - at school, anyway.
Dress sense: Whatever the butler puts out. Falling short of that, whatever is expected for the occasion.

Personality
Likes:
- Reading
- Researching
- Sports, of any kind.
- Quidditch - watching, playing, reading about the sport.
- Holidays (of which the Richardson's can afford many)
- Chocolate
- Pureblood society - though new opinions are growing.
- Good clothes - so long as it doesn't require him doing the shopping.
- Despite liking to look good, Christopher is not opposed to getting down and dirty with hands on work.

Dislikes:
- Violence/arguing
- Being made to make decisions on the spot - many things need a thorough thinking through.
- Stephanie because she is too spoilt.
- Large amounts of people, though he's not anti-social.
- People who do not know how to dress properly.

Strengths:
- Planning things through.
- In-depth discussions that make you think outside the box and explore new ideas.
- Highly intelligent individual, due to his love of books and all things educational.

Weaknesses:
- Materialistic - what Pureblood isn't?
- Arrogant.
- Excludes feelings from decisions

Positive traits:
- Logical
- Gentle
- Well read - like his oldest sister, Christopher enjoys reading, and has gone through many books. He also likes to discuss these with his sister when she has time.
- Independent thinker - he does not need others to tell him what should or should not be done.

Negative traits:
- Not easily adaptable.
- Vanity - like his sister, Chris likes to look good. Family image is on the line, and of course, this simply cannot be tarnished.
- When put to life matters, Chris would likely choose himself over his family, simply because he understands the importance of self-preservation.

Background
When Christopher was born in to a family that already boasted two girls, it had probably been a relief. He didn't know on that day, but he would grow up to be the sole heir of the Richardson family, and his life had been deemed important from the very beginning.

Chris had the usual upbringing of a Pureblood, of course, whilst his sisters learnt the right way to greet men, and to work them around their finger, Chris was taught how to deal with society, politics, jobs, money, and finally, women. He learnt to dance, and he learnt to play every sport under the sun.

When Christopher turned four, a new baby entered the house. Another girl. He was disappointed and Merlin did the household staff know about it as he threw a (rather uncharacteristic) tantrum. Demanding to know why he could not have a little brother, and why instead he had to have another sister. He'd been inconsolable for the whole week, truth be told.

But, the promise of other things became more interesting, and the four year old forgot once he'd been appropriately pampered.

As they all grew up, though, Verena, Christopher and Stephanie grew the closest. Serafina was already at Hogwarts by now, and the three played happily together.

When Verena left for Hogwarts, Christopher had been quite lost. He was closest to his second oldest sister. Though, of course, the time was filled with lessons and activities, the evenings still made him long to see her.

But, after two years, he was granted with his own Hogwarts letter. Christopher had sat beneath the hat for only a second before it shouted Ravenclaw. A surprise, but one he had embraced fully. He had been confused, with the quick sorting, but the eleven year old had been too excited to wonder about the speed until later.

Family Background
Spencer and Isabelle got married when they were 19 and 18 respectively, shortly after Isabelle graduated from Hogwarts. Theirs is not a love story, but rather, a business arrangement, and neither saw any issues with this; indeed, Isabelle was rather pleased to have been chosen by a Richardson, knowing she was marrying into good fortune.

Both parties know their respective jobs and duties, and respect that. They have a mutual understanding, and make their marriage work. After many years of trying, Isabelle finally got pregnant when she was 22, and subsequently gave birth to Serafina 9 months later. They proceeded to have another three children after that.

The three younger siblings are closer, leaving Serafina as the outlier most of the time. However, she doesn’t really mind, knowing that they nevertheless look up to her. Most of the time, their parents keep McKendra, Chris, and Steph away from her, not wanting her point of views to be adopted by them, as well; one ‘rebel’ was enough of a problem. Still, when Serafina does have the chance to be with them, they do have their fun.
