Chris

Birdley (you) is a bright blue bird monster with a yellow beak and feet. He wears black-rimmed glasses, a white button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and a black T-shirt underneath, which resembles a badge in the shape of his face or a pocket on the left side. Birdley can turn his head 180 degrees, like an owl.

—Chris is a perpetually silent human teenager with a yellowish tint to his skin and tousled, shoulder-length, dark maroon hair. He wears a lime green sweater with a single yellow horizontal stripe, along with nondescript brown pants and boots. One of Chris's most distinctive features is his long bangs, which cast a shadow that obscures the upper half of his face. During the brief moments when he rips his SOUL from his body, his red eyes can be seen glowing in the darkness. His red eye is also visible during the scene where he enters the Dark World, starting in Chapter 2. In the Dark World, Chris's appearance transforms, making him resemble a knight. Chris gains silver armor: pauldrons, a cuirass, gloves, and boots. Underneath, he wears a dark blue bodysuit, and a pink cloak is slung over his right shoulder. Chris's skin turns blue, and his hair turns dark blue. The shadow of his skin also falls on his cloak, creating the illusion of blue stripes on some sprites. When under player control, Chris always has a blank, emotionless expression.
