PERSONALITY: [Thank you a heap to Moth for giving me the basis of Chris' personality! I've rephrased it a little but yes. Tons and tons of thanks!]
Christopher de Luca is an extroverted, confident young guy who suddenly becomes introverted when he feels comfortable around people; kind of the opposite of everyone else in the world. The thing is that he does care about how the world perceives him but to the people who really matter to him, he can let his guard down and show them how self-conscious he is at times.
On the outside, Chris comes off as a bit of a playboy. He's an enormous flirt who absolutely cannot talk to a girl without charming them. People who they they know Chris think that he's just this playful, mischievous kind of guy who doesn't have a care in the world. But of course he does: his biggest fear in the world is abandonment. He lost his brother when he was little and his grandmother has recently passed away as well. The thing that will always come first to him in the world is family. Family comes before friends and romantic relationships and all that other stuff.
Chris' most important goal is life is to be loved but at his base, he needs to be loved by his family - in particular, his father, who expects Chris and his other siblings to be perfectly in compensation for the fact that he's already lost one son. The next kind of love he wants is friendship, the kind that he has with close friends and people he can share personal information with. Next comes romantic love because even though family and friends always come before this one, he does crave the need to be wanted and this fits in with this need. Last, but not least, is the love self which should probably be closer to the base. His confidence is balanced on top of this whole pyramid - he relies on the people around him to assure him that he's a good person and for them to love him; hence the constant need to flirt and show off around them.
He's a sweet guy, caring to a fault. He won't think twice about comforting some crying girl that he doesn't even know and he likes to feel needed. He has a fun streak - he's a lover of sports and the outdoors and of the 'barmy.' He likes to be silly. He is slightly egotistical when it comes to his appearance because he does know who he is and whilst he lacks confidence about stuff like love and his personality, he's self-assured in his looks. He's a very self-aware and morally-aware individual who enjoys helping others to keep their feet planted firmly on the ground.
Whilst Chris' thoughtfulness is useful at times, it often stops him from being impulsive and spontaneous in unfamiliar territory, rendering him instead to be shy, cautious and self-conscious. He takes a while to get used to new ideas, probably far longer than most people are comfortable with. This all boils down to his fear of abandonment - if he takes one step wrong, he could lose all his friends that he's tried so hard to make.
He's a friendly guy, really. He greets most people with a smile and a hug. He likes hugs. "Around Jojo, he's only slightly more reserved. He still acts like the kid who shows off as they walk around the castle, but will calm down enough to enjoy holding hands, and when it comes to sex he's hardly ever the leader. Around Jojo he becomes quiet and allows himself to think and have deeper more fulfilling conversations; he let's Jojo know that he isn't just a character who's all smiles; he also has regrets and fears. Oh, and he has a tendency to blabber when excited." <- relates to when he was in a relationship with Jojo Rodriguez.
In other words, Chris is vulnerable. He lets others dictate him and his actions too much. He truthfully wishes he was more assertive and he also wishes that life wasn't as precarious as he perceives it to be. He's a sensitive soul, it's very easy to inflict damage onto him with just words. He dreams of the "somewhere that's green" where he can play football and keep his family, friends, and Jojo all separate from each other. He almost wishes he could be split into three versions of himself; the astute and athletic son, the happy go lucky friend, and the fearless chivalrousness boyfriend. He ends up being able to become none of these, so his solution is to run away and ignore the problem. That's usually his answer to every problem.

OTHER IMPORTANT FAMILY: Look up the family tree here
HISTORY: Chris grew up in a very large, very loving family and it was easy to be forgotten. He is the youngest in his whole family and while he doesn't particularly like being babied because of it, he's grown to just accept it because it's something he can't change.
He was only nine when his older brother, Audrey, died in an accident with his other brother, Austin. He understood what losing his older brother meant - his entire family went into shutdown mode - but he wasn't told exactly how he died because his family didn't think he could handle it.
So far, at Hogwarts, he hasn't had many experiences yet because the opportunity has never arised. However, he was kissed by one of Bianca's friends last year when they were drunk and while that wasn't a fantastic experience, he looks forward to experiencing many more firsts this year.
