Christa

Christa is the third wife/cousin of Karlheinz and the mother of Subaru. Christa's backstory has been retconned in MORE BLOOD from Haunted Dark Bridal. In Haunted Dark Bridal, Christa only appears in Subaru's dreams and flashbacks of the time when he was with her. In MORE BLOOD, Christa willingly married Karlheinz. Christa has been described by her son as being the most beautiful before Karlheinz raped her and gave birth to Subaru, she has a somewhat slender and mournful appearance. She also has white and pink hair and red eyes, matching her son's. She's usually seen with her hair tied up in a bun, held up by what looks like to be a frilly red hair band on the top left of her head. She has one long piece of hair, reaching down to her knees, let loose in the front that splits into two and intertwines with itself. Christa wears a black and white velvet dress that extends outwards instead of clinging to her body. Its straps are of diamond shape patterns and various in size depending where they are. She even has connected from her necklace, covered in small red roses, to her dress in the middle. She also wears a type of light, transparent, blue sheer fabric around her arms, with white gloves that come almost up to her shoulders. Despite her innocent and meek appearance, Christa has shown signs of a strong pride. This is shown in an infamous dispute she had with Cordelia about Karlheinz, where they argued about who he truly loved. This could be a bit surprising as she is usually portrayed as a meek, quiet person who is constantly in poor health. True to this, Christa's mind has been torn apart due to the betrayal by her husband. At the revelation that she was used merely to produce a child out of incest, she would have fits and psychotic episodes, where she couldn't differentiate between identities and lost sense of the present. She is also revealed to have a more malicious personality, having deceived and poisoned Yui when she was under the delusion that Yui was Cordelia. However, she had moments where she was gentle with her son, resulting in Subaru's view as a child that it was just him and his mother alone in the world. Although she loved her son, she gave him a silver knife and begged him to kill her.
