Oh, pardon me -- I only meant to give you an idea of the differences between the two...perhaps you can recreate the original Christoph from the following details --
- Christo (heartless) has black hair, Topher (nobody) has white.
- Christo has dark blue eyes, Topher's are silver.
- Christo is very freckled, Topher has no freckles at all.
- Christo and Topher both have long hair (a trait that identifies inhabitants of their world)
- Christo is shorter and thinner than Topher
- Christo is small and rather weak, Topher is larger and physically powerful
- Christo acts primarily based on instinct (because he is a heartless), Topher overthinks everything (because he is a nobody)
- Christo is sickly, Topher is incredibly energetic
- Christo does not realise that he is a heartless, Topher does not know that he is a nobody
- Both Christo and Topher know what Unversed are, but only think of them as fairytale creatures
- Christo falls asleep very easily, Topher is an insomniac
- Christo is very reserved with expression, Topher is openly affectionate
- Christo and Topher both have flower-elemental magic
- Christo resembles a black mage, Topher a white mage
- Christo is at first a bit wary of Topher, Topher likes Christo immediately
- Christo cannot climb trees very well (Christoph's favourite hobby other than reading), but Topher is strong enough to carry Christo to the top without effort (Christoph cannot do this)
- Christo eventually becomes Topher's "Guiding Star," whereas Topher will become a "Legendary Sorcerer" (to pun off the names of the songs -- the two are startlingly accurate descriptions)
- Christo does not possess any memory of having been Christoph, Topher does, but no longer thinks of himself as being so
- Christo does not inherit Christoph's literary talents, Topher is able to create documents of any sort instantly
- Christo will later be shown to read Sense and Sensibility, while Topher reads Pride and Prejudice
- Christo's next book is The Three Musketeers, whereas Topher's is The Count of Monte *Cristo (no pun intended here, actually)
Christo also has a secret that Topher can never see, but what this is I shall leave for you to find. Also, because the two boys have white and black hair respectively, I will give you a clue -- the original Christoph has golden-brown hair. His strengths have become Topher and his weaknesses Christo. The two boy's names are, quite clearly, the English-language cognate of their original name split in two, but both retain the syllable to.
