Personality:

Chazz is someone who is used to having-it-all; he comes from a wealthy family, he excels in his chosen academic pursuit, and he has developed an ego large enough to match his good fortune- therefore he is oftentimes arrogant, conceited and obnoxious towards those that don't measure up to his standards. He has a lot of pride in himself and his accomplishments, and expects others to appreciate his greatness... which many admirers do for a while, feeding into that delusion of superiority. It isn't until he is enrolled in Duel Academy, the prestigious school that teaches students how to hone their skills at a children's cardgame Duel Monsters that he finally runs into some obstacles and pitfalls that knock him perilously off his high horse. That isn't to say that he ever fully loses his attitude but he does improve.

One of the moments in his history that greatly effected him was when he ended up on a losing streak and was defeated by none other than Jaden Yuki, aka. the Slifer Slacker, and Bastion Misawa. The experience shakes not only his confidence in his dueling but also in himself. It's such a crushing blow that he voluntarily leaves Duel Academy island, determined not to return until he's worthy of being there (which he later does). These losses end up fueling his drive for self-improvement once he gets over the initial shock of it. He applies himself at another school, rising up through the ranks until he beats everyone at that establishment. This segment exhibits both that he is capable of adapting, his dedication to his goals, and that he has his own weaknesses. He faces issues with insecurity, and what sort of image he wants to project throughout much of the series. He wants to appear strong and unstoppable, but there's only so much he can handle, and when things go terribly wrong then he is shown to have a vulnerable side.

It's important to remember that Chazz is still very much a teenager, and he's still got a lot to learn about well.. everything. He is embarrassed easily, immature, and a novice when it comes to matters of the heart. Canonly, he develops a crush on fellow classmate, Alexis Rhodes, and he will do almost any foolish thing just to get her to look at him. In a way it's charming but it can lead him to trying some really irresponsible things to try and get her to agree to go out with him. In the Sacred Beast arc, a few of the teachers and students are each given these keys to protect from this nefarious band of thugs known as the Shadow Riders. In an act of desperation, Chazz swipes the remaining keys for himself in order to challenge Alexis to a duel where the stakes are if he wins she'll go out with him. Considering the keys and their importance to keep safe he shows a blatant disregard for everyone else's safety for this fairly trivial matter. He doesn't always see the bigger picture, or think before he acts especially when he's passionate about something or someone.

He has a tenuous relationship with his brothers, who have always stressed their desire to dominant the financial, political, and dueling sides of the world- which in this canon dueling with cards plays a greater role than you might think. The plan was for Chazz to conquer the dueling aspect, and he struggles at first to live up to their expectations. The pressure was great, to the point that he eventually snapped from it. Later, he starts placing his own life and goals over theirs but it's a difficult choice for him since he thinks he's risking alienating himself from everything he's ever known and his family. He wants to prove to them, that he can carve out his own future without relying on their support. Being that his family hasn't been the most demonstrative in sharing their feelings, Chazz tends to guard his emotions as well. He is capable of forming friendships and connections to others, but not with an overt layer of sentimentality. He shows his loyalty by showing up when he's needed, or reluctantly pitching in to solve a problem.. as if he's really going out of his way to get involved instead of just admitting that he actually cares.

At the root of it all, Chazz is just a guy trying to find his way in life. He has his strengths and weaknesses, his good days and bad. He makes mistakes, a LOT of them, he can learn from them. Sometimes he takes himself too seriously, but he also can relax and just get into the typical sorts of shenanigans that someone his age would.
