Warning: History contains potential triggers for child abuse, rape, and emotional abuse.
Chris' world is one plagued by creatures called Noise, which kill any human that contacts them, and can't be harmed with traditional weaponry. Only weapons known as Symphogear, made from parts of ancient, powerful relics that are activated by song, can destroy them.
Chris' parents were both famous musicians, who (along with Chris) went to South America in order to help refugees in a war-torn region. When Chris is eight, they are killed in the crossfire. Chris is abducted by a local gang and kept as a slave (where it is implied she is possibly raped). Six years later, the Japanese government (who had been keeping an eye on musicians as Symphogear candidates) manage to rescue her an bring her back to Japan.
Before she can arrive, a mysterious woman named Fine abducts her. Fine gives her the Ichii-bal Symphogear, which only Chris can activate. Fine grooms Chris to be her own person weapon, twisting her mind and motivations through psychological manipulation and outright torture (and potentially molestation). Fine also gives her Nehushtan and Solomon's Cane, both completed relics that can be used by anyone.
Two years after Fine first abducts her, and when she is now sixteen, Fine orders Chris to capture and bring her the new wielder of the Gungnir Symphogear, a girl named Hibiki Tachibana. Both of her attempts fail (once by interference of another Symphogear wielder, Tsubasa Kazanari, and the second time by Hibiki gaining control of the completed relic Durandal). Insanely jealous of Fine's obsession with Hibiki and Hibiki's seeming natural talent with relics, and afraid that Fine will abandon her, she decides to try to defeat and destroy Hibiki with her own power. Her attempt fails when Fine interferes, reclaims Nehushtan (Chris has already given back Solomon's Cane), and disowns Chris. Devastated, she follows Fine when she leaves, only to have Fine send Noise after her to try to kill her.
Personality:
Chris is outwardly closed off, aggressive, and not dependent on others at all. She rejects any attempts by others to form emotional or personal connections with her, and is instead closed off and even hostile. Her hostility mostly manifests towards adults, while around children and peers, she is disgruntled and prickly at worst. She's outspoken about her ideals, but at the same time can often lapse into periods of reflection. She's somewhat self-conscious, and reacts to embarrassment with prickly and defensive behavior as well as denial. It's during battle, however, that she really shines. Arrogant and confident (and not entirely without reason), she often mocks and belittles her opponents. She throws off her self-consciousness and lets herself live in the moment. But even outside of battle, she makes the world her adversary.
Her obsession for battle partially stems from her fixation with destruction. Chris is, at heart, and idealist: her true desire is to rid the world of war. It just so happens that her views have been twisted so that she believes the best way of achieving this is to destroy everything. She believes that the answer is to destroy everyone with the power and the will to fight, and then everything will be just fine. Despite her destructive tendencies, she hates to see the innocents uninvolved in battle getting hurt. She'll even, if she has the ability to, help them out, and often asks for advice from others. This doesn't usually extent to adults, though: she has a deep seated distrust and hatred of all adults, due to her traumatic experiences by their hands. She also (due to strong influences of others with similar beliefs) thinks that humans are unable to really communicate with others. She's come to believe that the only true method of communication is through pain.
But there's a part of her that either doesn't believe this, or doesn't want to. In fact, a lot of Chris' mind is deeply rooted in denial. The beliefs that she so outspokenly supports are in a large part attempts to rationalize a world that's abused her. She wants a supportive environment and happy, full life of friends and family (seeing how she readily accepts it later), but the way she's grown up and her usual methods force her to reject them. When confronted with positive emotions - love, friendship, comfort - she instinctively rejects them because she doesn't know how to process them. For most of her life she's been alone, so she's accepted that as truth and rejects any attempts to change that.
In the end, Chris is just a teenage girl driven to seek destruction and reject company because it's the only thing she knows.

Samples First Person Sample: [The feed clicks on suddenly. There's a girl standing center camera, looking quite smug with her large smirk. She toys with a pokeball as she speaks.]
I beat them all. Oh, are you surprised? Idiots! Of course I beat them.
[She tosses the ball into the air, and catches it violently. Her expression drops to that of restrained rage.]
You know, most of the trainers around here talk about "friendly battles". Idiots- there's no such thing.
[Chris looks away into the distance, with a look of grim resolution bordering on mania.]
I'll destroy them. I'll destroy them all. And then-
[She looks back at the camera, and smiles. Almost... sweetly.]
Well, things will be better then! Right? Ah...
Yeah. So don't you all worry. Or get in my way.
[The feed clicks off.]
Third Person Sample: That- that thing was following her.
Beast - no, monster! She was pretty sure it wasn't a Noise (but like hell was she going to touch it to double check), but it was still... It still had claws like knives and looked like it could slice a person in half by nodding. It'd been following her ever since she left that... weird scientist. Normally, she'd just activate her Symphogear and destroy the big, white monster, but her Symphogear wasn't working and that had been enough to send her into a near-panic. So she'd run, without thinking, towards the forest.
And now Chris was stuck lost (she wouldn't admit it), with night starting to fall, in the middle of a wild and forested path with a large white monster following her.
"Get away," she called back to the thing, again, "Get away!" And sure, it drew back, but only to circle around and continue the relentless pursuit of her.
Well, then, she'd just keep going.
Or so was her plan, at least. But the grass was getting thicker and it was getting darker. She pretended not to mind, just grit her teeth and pushed on. The monster didn't follow her in this time, though. It stood on the edge of this particular patch of grass, and stared at her with those big red eyes. Once she realized this, she turned, and scoffed.
"Ha!" She called back, "Finally getting the picture? And I only had to drill it into your head. Idiot..." The monster remained unfazed (to her slight annoyance), just staring. Staring! She clenched her fists, about ready to-
From behind her, a wild shuffling. The grass parted and- and another monster, bird-like and all brown and tan burst out angrily. Chris took a few steps back - the thing seemed hostile, and hostile in her direction. Hardly a threat... but, she was unarmed, left with only fists to fight something that she suspected to be more dangerous than just a standard bird. But she put her fists up anyway, and set into a determined smirk. She'd seen worse. (Right...?)
But the monster - the first monster, the big white one - had lept suddenly into the grass beside her. And just when the bird-monster had made a flying lunge for her, claws outstretched. The monster tackled it, knocking it to the ground a few feet away. The bird, stunned and startled, flapped lopsidedly away into the darkened forest.
Chris stood shocked, and the white monster stood calmly before her. It had saved her- It had saved her-
"Nobody asked you!" She snapped at it, to which it turned and stared up at her. Unnerved, she crossed her arms and turned away. It'd- ha! As if she needed that...
She didn't shout at it to stop following her when she set off again, though.
