Chrno's Character Analysis

What is Chrno really like?

While Chrno is indeed a kind and noble person with a very generous heart, he is far from being the submissive, harmless boy most people think he is.

He can be very stubborn sometimes and his feelings often get the better of him, especially when the person he loves is in real danger. In those occasions his anger awakes his demonic instincts and he quickly goes back to being the violent killer he once was, destroying everything that stands between him and the object of his anger. This dark side of him, though it’s mostly kept in check by Chrno’s natural kindness and his own desire to protect the people he cares about, is a real source of despair for him and for the people he is close to. Chrno is constantly tortured by his own feelings of remorse and by the painful consequences his actions have on the very ones he wishes to protect. He is a person torn between his desire to be at peace with himself and his demonic nature, which he tries to deny, yet it still surfaces when he least expects it. Because of this, he is prone to fall in the depths of his own despair. He is willing to punish himself and suffer a long, agonizing death if that means saving the person he loves. Chrno is someone who has very little confidence in himself and a very low self-esteem, consequence of the many tragedies he’s been through, especially Magdalene’s death. He loves others more than he loves himself, and the thought of being the reason Rosette’s life is slowly being consumed is a real torture to him.

This dark shade of his personality, however, has a very strong counterpart, which is Rosette’s influence on him. Rosette never allows him to use his regret as an excuse for not doing his best effort to be a stronger, better person. She also does not allow him to be controlled by his own emotions or his demonic instincts, though she also accepts him for what he is and does not blame him for his past actions, no matter how great the consequences are. This attitude of hers is a real life-saver for Chrno, who often relies on her strength as an emotional support. Despite of this, though, Chrno has always been someone who has very strong moral convictions and is always willing to do what he believes is right, no matter what the consequences to himself are. Because of that, he is considered a rebel by his own kind, even the Sinners, those he once considered his friends and who shared his dream of freedom. Chrno was not happy for betraying them, specially Aion, who was like a real brother to him, yet his desire to do the right thing and protecting the innocent was a lot stronger than any regrets he might have had.

Chrno has suffered very painful experiences in his life, and the years have given him a lot of wisdom, but they have also made him a little wary of the future. Rosette, however, changed that and gave his life a new meaning. He was able to smile again and enjoy life day after day, and ultimately gave him the strength of facing the future with a new hope. His feelings for her and his desire to protect her gave him a lot of self-confidence, and he changed from being the one depending on Rosette, to being the person she could rely on, not only as a friend, but as a protector...
