Family
The Yanovna name is a grand one in his homeland - a combination of centuries old money, wielded power within the theatre communities, and not inconsiderable political influence. He has a strong relationship with his sister, Lisa, and tries to keep in touch with her whenever possible. Being the youngest of the family, his older brothers were around to teach him how to not treat other people, then disappeared to form families of their own.
Chris has distanced himself from his family in recent years, due to several revelations he isn't proud to know of. Due to this, among other factors, he likes to use the Federation Standard version of his first name, Christopher, instead of Krištof (Христофо́р), and to distance himself from his familial legacy, he uses the surname Johns - his mother's maiden name.

Personal History
The youngest of five siblings, Krištof (Христофо́р) was born and raised in Saint Petersburg, Russia, in a large house on the Neva River. He grew up surrounded by dancers, with his eldest brother, sister and mother as troop members of the Mariinsky Theatre. Chris learned to dance at a young age and is an accomplished, and decorated, ballet dancer. There was an expectation that he would follow his siblings into the arts or professional sports, and for a time, he participated as part of the Corps de ballet, earning Coryphée slots in specific pieces and demi-soloist in others, such as Konstantin Lëvin in Anna Karenina and the role of Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream. He is also a hobbyist artistic skater, though he has lacked in pursuit of this hobby since his recruitment into Starfleet.
Never really feeling like he belonged in the dancing world, complete with all the drama he couldn't keep up with, Chris set his sights on a higher calling. Still undecided about his future, and lacking the education background to apply for the Officer commission track at Starfleet Academy, he instead opted for enlistment, recruited into the Starfleet Command training school and completed his single year intensive training in 2392. He threw himself into the work and study, graduating from the Academy with Crewman, First Class rank and a posting on the newly launched vessel, USS Gorkon.
He keeps himself in excellent physical condition and uses the holodeck as training for ballet practice. He likes good food, especially flaky pastries, warm coffee on cold evenings, snow, skating, and open fires. He likes reading long novels about strife and tragedy, which contrasts with his happy personality, but there you go. Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy is his favorite book, with the central theme that happiness cannot be built on another's pain. His favoured line from the novel is the opening one, ("Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.") which says more about his family relationships than he likes to talk about.
His four-year tour is nearly at an end, at which point Chris will need to make the decision whether he wants to remain in Starfleet, or return to civilian life. He is strongly considering signing up with the Nyberrite Alliance.
