MANNER OF SPEECH:
Christine is upper crust and well-spoken, but she likes to sound "hip" and is not afraid to use current slang terms to appear younger.
ACCENT:
Christine has a nondescript American tone to her voice, but in her youth spoke with a southern Texas twang which slips in and out a bit. She hides it well under the guise of a “fancy pinkies up” cadence.
COLLOQUIALISMS:
Using the hottest slang, Christine is desperate to stay relevant and appear younger. Her goal is to blend in with the next generation’s young elite.
BODY LANGUAGE:
While Christine likes to be open and inviting, she cannot hide her emotions in uncomfortable situations.
VOCABULARY:
Well-educated and spoken, Christine loves to show off but wishes to appear approachable and relevant, so she's had her assistant look up current slang terms to keep her on trend and relatable. Some of her favorite pet names for others are babe and hun.
EMOTION:
Very emotional and highly intelligent, Christine wants to appear put together at first but does not shy away from drama. However, she’s not the most empathetic and thinks living in a depressive, angry, or overly emotional state is a waste of energy.
history
HOMETOWN:
Dallas, Texas
UPBRINGING:
Growing up in an affluent suburb in Dallas, Texas, Christine went to private school, received the best education, and never wanted for anything. Her parents got divorced when she was in her late teens, her mother remarrying an even wealthier man, and her dad dating a slew of women in their mid-twenties. This made her highly uncomfortable, as they felt closer to her age, than her dad.
Raised by nannies, Christine never got close to her parents. Through school and exploring art museums and different pop up theatrical events, she found a love of the arts. When she expressed this to her parents, they put her in the best acting, modeling and art classes. Christine modeled around the world until it got boring to her. Believing the sky’s her limit, Christine set her sights on obtaining an MBA to create a rich empire of her own.
EDUCATION:
Attending the best private schools in her youth, Christine received an elite education before taking a break to pursue a modeling career. Bored and certain she shouldn’t put all her eggs in one basket, she got her MBA from Stanford University.
HOBBIES:
While many of her hobbies growing up were arts related, Christine now enjoys simpler, low energy hobbies like shopping, partying, social media, anything fashion related and fame-seeking.
DREAMS:
Becoming a household name and building a brand empire is Christine’s ultimate dream.
HEROES:
Mingling and meeting some of her biggest heroes, among them Kim Kardashian, Lisa Vanderpump, and Paris Hilton, Christine strives to create wondrous empires and looks up to these female entrepreneurs as mentors.
REGRETS:
Christine doesn’t dwell on the past, preferring to look towards the future, but she regrets that she didn’t get in on the ground floor of social media. Utilizing it before the boom of influencers could have led to her meteoric rise.
WORK HISTORY:
Modeling for several years in her youth, Christine tried to build a fashion line after graduating from college but due to the hubris of her vision, ultimately failed. She attends charity events, socialite functions and is hustling to become an entertainment news reporter or a reality TV star. At one point she was a part of a rich socialite party crew and received compensation to attend parties and drink with people or MC VIP events.
MAJOR LIFE EVENTS:
Christine is grateful for the opportunities afforded to her in her youth to travel the world and stomp down famous runways. It led to her living a fancy-free party lifestyle, experiencing the hottest nightclubs, restaurants, and realizing her true passion to create a brand empire. She feels gifted to be building her dream home, serving on the board of several great charities, finding her way as a news personality, and building her empire.
FOUNDATIONAL MEMORIES:
Christine treasures growing up with her nanny, a passionate art connoisseur, who exposed her to theater, old film and TV, and many museums. She’ll never forget using her knowledge of the arts to become one of the most popular kids in school, starring in the school’s One-Act Play and winning many awards. Having tasted the sweetness of fame, she couldn’t get enough. Living it up and being an “It Girl” in the LA scene is something Christine wishes she could bottle and sell … that feeling of just being famous for being famous.
Relationships
ECONOMIC STATUS OF FAMILY:
Even though she comes from an extremely wealthy family and has a healthy trust fund, Christine won’t just settle with a jet setting, “ladies who lunch” lifestyle. Her ambition to create her own brand and legacy drives her and she won’t stop hustling until her name litters billboards across the world.
SOCIAL STATUS OF FAMILY:
Upper class
FATHER(S):
Stephen Bluth, Stepfather Nikolas Bronsky
MOTHER(S):
Carolyne Bluth (name changed to Bronsky after getting remarried)
SIBLING(S):
None
CHILDREN:
Christine has no children and no desire to have any, despite her parents nagging her for grandchildren.
EXTENDED FAMILY:
Carey Bluth (paternal grandfather), Sylvia Bluth (paternal grandmother) … the rest of Christine’s family are distant due to family drama and strife over her grandfather’s empire.
CLOSEST FRIEND(S):
Tomás and Kat, a best friend since childhood, are Christine’s closest friends and she’d like to say Paris Hilton as they ran in the same circles, but Paris would strongly disagree. Christine loves her socialite lady group, Barbs, Georgy, Violet, Tracy, but they tend to bring the drama, and in her eyes, most of them have no ambition, so she has a tough time being around them for extended periods.
OTHER FRIEND(S):
Christine spends time with various socialites around Beverly Hills and anyone she thinks can help her birth her brand empire.
ENEMIES:
Sasha, Brandon (her ex), Tiffany (a childhood best friend who turned on her)
RELATIONSHIP GOALS:
Too many bad love interests left Christine a bit leery of seeking long-term relationships, but she craves companionship and may pursue it more seriously in the future. She and Tomás have been “on again and off again” secretly, but they feel they are too noncommittal to ever be in a serious relationship.
LOVE INTEREST(S):
Her, herself, and her! Christine doesn't feel the need to explore love outside of random trysts with Tomás.
Psychology
PERSONALITY TYPE:
Using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, Christine fits The Performer Type (Extraverted, Sensing, Feeling, Perceiving).
GOALS:
Determined to be famous, create her epic empire and put her mark on the world wherever she can, Christine simply wants to be known, and to live on as a legend posthumously.
MOTIVATIONS:
Christine desires to be a household name, live on as infamous after death and she’d love for many people in America to own any of her branded merch. She seeks immortality through creating her brand.
INTERNAL CONFLICTS:
Christine struggles with relationships, especially romantically, as she didn’t get a healthy example of love from her parents growing up. She's insecure and feels she'll never accomplish her goals. A little voice in her head sometimes tells her people don’t like her at all. But she deeply believes in living in the moment and any self-doubt she dismisses as a blip in her fantastic life and journey.
WEAKNESSES:
Christine has a reputation for being rude and arrogant but blames these judgements on others’ jealousy of her wealth and good looks. She’ll be the first to admit, she’s addicted to drama while she actively tries to avoid it for the good of growing her brand. Christine’s love life is non-existent or a huge mess, so she tries to avoid the pursuit of romantic companionship.
DESIRES:
Like the legend Marilyn Monroe, one of her favorite movie stars, Christine wants to live on for years after her death, with her brand taking on a life of its very own. At one point, she imagines finding a mate that will treat her like an absolute queen, spoil her and support anything she wants to pursue.
FLAWS:
While she believes she’s flawless, Christine can be self-centered and a bit conceited. Her empathy is almost non-existent, and she can be pretty "surface level" with people.
SECRETS:
Christine wishes, albeit rarely, she came from humble origins and had to make her own way in the world, scraping by working multiple jobs and through fierce determination. Her work ethic and drive suffer because she knows she can fall back on her familial wealth. The modeling industry wasn't the kindest to her and she found herself in many uncomfortable situations with men in power as an underage teenager, which made forming relationships with men problematic. While she’s deeply insecure to her core, she’d never share that with anyone and will always fake a confident façade.
STRENGTHS:
Possessing extreme confidence and the ability to light up a room, Christine is a great public speaker, striving to come off as approachable and friendly. She’s business savvy and knows what opportunities to pursue to further enhance her empire and brand.
FEARS:
Fading into obscurity and never making anything of herself in life is Christine’s biggest fear … just behind growing old, and people finding out her real age.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Supporting many philanthropic causes and throwing charity parties to raise money for many a worthy cause, Christine feels like she’s accomplished so much in her socialite community and helped many in need. She’s proud of her modeling career and exploring different areas of the fashion industry. But Christine’s biggest accomplishment, as of late, is seeking opportunities as a reporter or on reality TV.
MORALITY:
Morally “Chaotic Neutral”, Christine grew up with religion and respects its tenants but is selfish when it comes to her desires.
IRRITANTS:
Not being the center of attention makes Christine seethe with irritation, jealousy and can bring out her self-described “mean side”.
Legacy:
For her legacy, Christine seeks to be remembered as a bombshell sex symbol, an iconic brand and forever recalled as rich, fashionable, and famous.
The Proust Questionnaire
Answer these questions from the perspective of your character using their voice:
What is your idea of perfect happiness?
Oh, well, I don’t know if you’ve heard, but I’m working on building my empire via social branding. I don’t know if you’ve heard of me … oh, you haven’t? Well, I’m sure you’ve seen me in all the latest listicals, babe. Or maybe on the cover of some rag at the grocery store? Or maybe you're one of my millions of followers on Instagram or someone who drags me on Reddit. Well, that's my idea of social branding. Basically, you know, babe, being known for being known and building clothing lines, makeup lines, I mean, maybe even a whole restaurant empire from just being you! So, long story long, babe, perfect happiness to me is building a whole empire from just being my fabu self!
What is your greatest fear?
Hah! I think fear is sort of a wasted emotion, don’t you? I mean, who has time to think of silly fears when you’re out there hustling, and hobnobbing? If I had to pick, I guess I’d say it’s becoming irrelevant. Honey, there is nothing worse than irrelevance!
What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?
Oh, deplore? Haha, what a word to use. I don’t know if I deplore anything, hun. I guess if I did dislike anything about myself, it would probably be the size of my feet. But, ya know, babe, it's only meant I've been able to custom order one-of-a-kind, “only for me” shoes from some of the world's most iconic fashion designers. So that’s pretty amaze, don’t you think?
What is the trait you most deplore in others?
Uhhh, unnecessary drama. And, like, there’s no need to focus on things that aren’t serving you, just move on, babe. Those may or may not be related, but they are most definitely related in my mind.
Which living person do you most admire?
Hun, you are so going to think I'm trying to curry favor with him or something, but I do admire my dear friend, Tomás. He made himself practically from nothing and now look at all his success, and this next venture, The G.O.A.T. Boat, I am just all too thrilled to be a part of it. Okay, so don’t tell him I gushed too much. We don’t want that all going to his head, darling.
What is your greatest extravagance?
Oh, how can I even answer that?! Heh. I suppose I feel a bit extravagant spending so many dollar dollar bills on my new build in Beverly Hills. It will truly be my dream home, complete with a complimentary house for my little fur babies to live their best life. I spared no expense, and it feels a bit … gauche. I’ve always just bought used, I guess you’d say. Is that what you call it … pre-owned? Anyway, it’s time to invest, and I’m really happy with the investment, even if it is extravagant.
What is your current state of mind?
Current state of mind … oh, well, I think I’m pretty excited about being a part of Tomás’s ventures. And honestly, I’m always in the state of mind of feeling my full fabu self! Always working it. Yaaasss!
What do you consider the most overrated virtue?
Oh, gosh, can I get a list to choose from? Haha! People like to say, "Everything in moderation!" I guess I think that's sort of overrated. I don’t like to brag, but I am building a pretty big dream closet in my new house. There’s no such thing as moderation when it comes to looking and feeling good, babe.
On what occasions do you lie?
I don't really like lying, if I'm honest. Hah, see what I did there? Anyway, sometimes I think you need to tell little lies to maybe advance your career or take care of you … and sometimes to just not have to deal with another person's drama. For the most part, I'm straight up with people. When you're this fabu, why lie? Hahaha!
What do you most dislike about your appearance?
I think I already mentioned this, hun, but these feet. And honestly, it's just their size. With a good pedicure, I could be a solid foot model. Maybe even sought after. Hah! Can you imagine?
Which living person do you most despise?
Despise … that seems quite harsh. I guess I could say I have a couple of exes … boyfriends and friends that I don't particularly like, but they know what they did, and I don't wish to discuss them, so next question, please!
What is the quality you most like in a man?
Success. One-hundred percent! He has to have that ambition … that drive, ya know, and it definitely has to match mine. I also love someone who takes care of themselves, eats well, stays fit. And a man has to have a great sense of humor, impeccable style, of course, and a great head on his shoulders. Aw, babe, I’m getting so flustered just talking about my dream man.
What is the quality you most like in a woman?
I’d say the same qualities as a man, but also that there’s no unnecessary cattiness and drama. I don’t mean to call out my ladies, but you know we can go there sometimes. I also like with my good girlfriends that we are open and honest with each other and have that sisterly bond that just feels so nice and cozy.
Which words or phrases do you most overuse?
Oh, hah! Well, babe and hun, I'm sure you've noticed. I tried not to but it's just how I grew up and reminds me of home. And sometimes unnecessary phrases, like ... ya know and I guess. I don't prefer that sort of phrasing, but it is what it is and just slips out naturally … I guess. See!
What or who is the greatest love of your life?
Okay, so I feel like you're going to think I'm some sort of narcissist, but building my brand is my great love, if that makes sense. When I’m in there cultivating this … almost … this little creation … my baby … I’m just at peace. I think it honestly may just be my great life love.
When and where were you happiest?
Oh, wow, can I say right now?! I mean we’re about to embark on a wonderful adventure, and I’ll be with some of my best and brightest friends. There seem to be so many things Tomás has planned aboard The G.O.A.T Boat, that I’m just so incredibly excited. I’m in my zen life, I think. And with the house being built, and possibly done when I return. Yeah, I think just right now, right here.
Which talent would you most like to have?
Well, babe, what talent do I not have? I am totally kidding! Hrm, maybe to sing. Of all the arts I’ve done, I’ve just never found myself able to carry a tune. Don’t get me wrong, I love screaming into the mic at karaoke, but you don’t need talent for that. If I could sing, it really would complete my brand, but it would be pure Auto-Tune. Hah!
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I definitely wish I'd built my brand and empire earlier in life, and had more ambition in my youth, maybe. Right now, I’d say, be more open to building romantic relationships. I think it would be good for me to have a successful man in my life … almost to balance me out, but I just realize I'm so stubborn and independent right now … it wouldn't work out.
What do you consider your greatest achievement?
I don’t know if I’ve achieved it yet, but I’d say building my brand empire. It's all I've ever wanted, and I cannot wait to see all my dreams realized. I definitely stare at my vision board daily to manifest it all into reality, and it's all happening.
If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be?
Oh, hah, can I say … myself? Of course, kidding! I think I’d probably pick Marilyn Monroe. She was so absolutely fabu, and just a true legend, so stunning, and could model, sing, and act. Plus, she seemed like a hopeless romantic and had some great love affairs.
Where would you most like to live?
I love my new spot in Beverly Hills.
What is your most treasured possession?
I hate telling people this, it seems so bougie, but I’d say my Birkin bag. Do you know how long the waitlist is for one? I got the hook-up for real, and I’m not selling my sources. And I better not catch anymore creeping around my room to thieve from me. It’s locked up tight back at home.
What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery?
Becoming irrelevant, failing at creating my brand … losing my status and social standing, maybe. Loneliness is pretty miserable. Modeling around the world is très chic, but it can be absolutely isolating, cutthroat, and competitive.
What is your favorite occupation?
Modeling was pretty dope … do people say that anymore… dope? Anyway, traveling the world, strutting the runway, and wearing haute couture. Totally chef’s kiss! But I love what I'm doing now, creating my empire and brand. It's just beyond exciting!
What is your most marked characteristic?
I think my entire vibe, I’d say. I’ve always been someone that stood out. First for being awkwardly tall and thin with gangly limbs, then growing out of my ugly duckling phase into my swan fantasy. People do stop me in the street to tell me I’m stunning. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love it, growing up such an awkward kid, it is a great confidence boost!
What do you most value in your friends?
Honesty and trust amongst us. No drama and just a fun and chill lifestyle. Celebrating all our successes, and mourning some failures, but always together. And support, when I feel unsupported, I just tend to not understand the point of a friendship anymore.
Who are your heroes in real life?
I might just have to say all the successful people in my family. My grandfather built us up from nothing, and my father kept it going … I strive to follow in their footsteps and make them proud.
What are your favorite names?
I think Christine is pretty great! I always loved the name Scarlet, it just seems exotic and not so exotic at the same time, if you know what I mean?
What is it that you most dislike?
Dishonesty … probably, people that aren’t supportive. And bad parties. I can’t stand a bad party. Can you even call it a party at that point?
What is your greatest regret?
I don't live life with regrets, I live in the moment and think everything happens for a reason, but if I had to say I had a regret it's sort of my delayed success, if you will. I wish I'd started my empire in my early twenties and just built and built it. Or had a comeback, you know, like my friend, Paris Hilton.
How would you like to die?
One hundred percent satisfied having built my brand and empire, surrounded by all my friends and family in a four-post bed with silk sheets in my most beautiful couture.
What is your motto?
When you love you, life is fabu!
