Christopher, Joshua

ヨシュア・クリストファ

Joshua Christopher is Rosette's younger brother and serves as the Apostle of Hope in the anime, holding allegiance to Aion's Sinners. In the manga, he is one of the 7 Apostles and the first to be found by Aion.
The supernatural powers he possessed made him a very weak child who was constantly sick. Tired of being protected by his sister and wanting to be healthy so she wouldn't have to worry about him, he accepted Aion's offer of becoming stronger and placed Chrno's horns on his head. The overwhelming power of the horns caused him to lose his sanity almost immediately, and he frequently mixes dreams and reality. He constantly thinks about his dear sister Rosette, almost to the point of obsession. He can be very dangerous at times, so he is guarded by Fiore, whom he sometimes confuses with his sister, though his feelings for her seem to go beyond that. He used to be a very noble boy whose biggest dream was to become an explorer, but now he barely remembers his past, except for his sister.
