HISTORY;;

Christopher Grunder was born in Dallas, Texas in 1882 into a family of entertainers. His father, Nate Grunder, played the piano and the guitar, and met the love of his life, Lily Clark when he accompanied her on piano. Lily was a singer, dancer, actress, she did it all. From then on, the two performed together. Nate played the piano, and Lily sang, every now and then they would do a duet. Shortly after, they were married and had Christopher.

When he was seven years old, he went with his parents to one of their performances. He sat up in one of the boxes with his grandfather, eager to watch his parents perform. Unfortunately that night, something happened. Nate and Lily Grunder were murdered as soon as their show was over. Chris and his grandfather were walking backstage to see them, and that's when they found their bodies, and everything in their dressing rooms stolen.

He was heartbroken over his parent's deaths. Chris then moved to his grandfather's house, who tried to give the young boy as much as he could. He taught Chris how to play the piano, and got him dancing and singing lessons so he could be the best of the best, just like his parents.

When he was eleven, the old man passed away from old age. He packed his things and left, so he wouldn't have to go to an orphanage. He hopped on a train, and traveled to New York City. In need of money, he followed a newsie back to Staten Island, and became a newsie. He was given the nickname 'The Entertainer', because he likes to entertain those around him.

No escaping when I start, once I'm in I own your heart.

PERSONALITY;;

The Entertainer's a pretty friendly guy, he'll have a conversation with anyone, and loves having a lot of people around. It makes his day to brighten someone else's. He's kind-hearted, and enjoys having younger kids around him. He's usually seen with a smile on his face, he's a pretty happy guy. He has a lot of energy, and always seems to be constantly moving. He loves to have fun, and if he isn't having fun, than he sees no point to what he's doing.

He doesn't seem to know what embarrassment is. He'll randomly start singing in the streets, or doing something others would call embarrassing. Because of that, he can get on people's nerves with his constant need for noise and action. He talks too much for his own good, and that gets him in trouble a lot. He hates silence, so he tries to fill it up, and that often annoys people. He loves to be the center of attention, and if he's not, then he gets really jealous. He's a bit of a show off, and can come across as obnoxious a lot.

He gets pretty paranoid at times. He's afraid he's on some sort of hit list and that the same person who killed his parents is coming after him too. He's very observant, and picks up on the little things that no one else seems to look at. He doesn't know why, that's just the way he is.

Overall, he's a happy go lucky guy, who loves to entertain those around him.
