Christopher Brooks
M.N. Arzu
Being the eldest has allowed Christopher to see each one of his brothers come and grow within his family. He knows that, more than anything else, it’s the bonds of trust and love that keep them together, so he’s always eager to show them how much he cares—a trait that some days is endearing and some days is infuriating, depending on who you ask.
Here are a few fun facts about the mischievous Christopher Brooks:
Birthday: December 1st
Birth Name: Christopher Marsh
Favorite Anime Movie: Spirited Away
Song: Safe place to land by Christian Burghardt
He would never admit: He had a crush on Ariel, The Little Mermaid when he was a teen. To this day, he absently hums A part of your world when he’s waiting in line or working out.
Favorite class: Geography. It was the main reason he learned to sail, so he could go to as many places in those maps as he could before moving down to The City.
Favorite extracurricular class: Swimming. He once contemplated joining the choir, too, but was afraid his voice would give him away as a merman.
Favorite animal: wolves, they belong together and work together as a pack.
Last Halloween costume: Vampire. He wore contact lenses and fancy fangs and a cape that had bats painted all over it. He got a kick thinking about shapeshifting into bats and flying away instead of a tail and swimming away.
Favorite ice cream: Chocolate and vanilla, always together.
Favorite fruit: Whatever Andrew uses in his shakes. And blueberries, cause they’re blue, duh.
Favorite superhero: Superman. The guy could be doing anything, yet he chooses to help.
His mantra: This too shall pass.
Favorite quote: “If you can’t beat them, make them join you.”
