Description
Christine Hanakomachi, often called Chris by her friends, is a classmate of Miyu Kouzuki and Kanata Saionji in the anime Daa! Daa! Daa!. She is a girl of mixed heritage, being half-French through her mother, and comes from an extremely wealthy family. Her appearance is distinct, with pink, wavy hair that she often ties with a red ribbon, and violet eyes. She typically dresses in a very feminine, princess-like style, favoring ruffled dresses. According to provided character statistics, her birthday is September 2nd, making her a Virgo, with AB blood type, a height of 163 centimeters, and a favorite food of cherry pie.
At first glance, Chris is the picture of a well-mannered, shy, and friendly young lady who speaks in very formal Japanese. However, this gentle demeanor dramatically changes when she sees Kanata, for whom she harbors a deep and obvious crush, in close proximity to other girls, particularly Miyu. When her jealousy is triggered, she becomes prone to elaborate and dark romantic fantasies, jumping to the worst possible conclusions about the nature of Kanata's relationships. This emotional state unleashes a startling and comedic display of superhuman strength. In her rage, she has been known to easily uproot trees, pick up desks, and even knock down entire buildings. Despite the destruction that often follows her rampages, Chris is never malicious. Upon receiving an explanation or snapping out of her jealous episode, she immediately becomes flustered, apologizes profusely and politely, and then proceeds to repair all the damage she caused. She accomplishes this by calmly using construction tools and equipment she produces from a magic satchel, behaving as though her displays of incredible power are perfectly normal.
Chris's central motivation is her unrequited affection for Kanata, which is the primary driver of her actions throughout the series. She is so smitten that she becomes unable to make direct contact with him, often blushing and stuttering in his presence. Her role in the story is as a key supporting character and a recurring source of comic relief due to her jealous outbursts. She also serves as a friendly rival to Miyu, though she is ultimately a good-hearted person. Her discovery of the secret alien baby Ruu and his caretaker Wannya differs between the manga and anime. In the manga, she learns of Ruu's existence early on and promises to keep the secret, confiding that she understands being ridiculed for her unusual red hair and foreign appearance as a child. In the anime, however, she does not discover the secret until near the end of the series.
Her most notable relationships are with her classmates Miyu and Kanata. Her infatuation with Kanata defines much of her behavior, while her friendship with Miyu is often complicated by her jealousy, leading to frequent misunderstandings. Outside of school, the only visible adult in her vast household is her butler, Mr. Shikada (also known as Mr. Deerfield in some translations), who is almost always seen dressed in a full deer costume. This unusual practice began when Chris was a child because of her great love for deer, and her butler has continued wearing the costume ever since to make her happy. In her leisure time, Chris enjoys activities befitting her wealthy upbringing, such as skiing and horseback riding, and she owns a winter lodge on a snow-capped mountain.
