[edit] History
[edit] Dead or Alive 3
Christie is an assassin hired by Donovan to keep an eye on, and eventually kill, Helena Douglas. Christie's mission is to stop Helena from competing in DOA3 and later to prevent Helena from discovering more about the secret plans of Donovan and his anti-Douglas faction. She is disguised as a servant to Helena, though her specific occupation isn't given.
[edit] Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball
Christie was invited to Zack Island for the fourth Dead or Alive Tournament. However, the tournament was a hoax and Christie (together with the other DOA girls) were stuck on the tropical island for two weeks.
[edit] Dead or Alive 4
Christie seeks to prevent the Mugen Tenshin clan (this includes Kasumi, Hayate and Ayane) and their ally Ryu Hayabusa from destroying DOATEC. It is also revealed that she was the assassin who killed Helena's mother (Earlier it had been implied that Ayane was the killer).
[edit] Personality
Above all, Christie is cold and callous towards others. As a result of her profession (as well as her outlook on life), she regards other people to be utterly disposable and meaningless. She takes her job seriously, and is completely ruthless when engaged in a mission. Also, due to the mastery of her art, she is arrogant, taunting her opponents before and after battle, as well as being completely confident in the fact that her fighting style is superior to that of any opponent. In DOA4, her personality is expanded upon greatly, especially in cutscenes involving Elliot and Helena, during which she fights them with an almost sociopathic relish. As her ending CG in Dead or Alive 4 shows, Christie reveals herself as a true femme fatale who is not afraid to use her good looks to lure her victim in a false sense of security.
During her observation of Helena, Christie has developed a morbid fascination with her target that even she finds difficult to understand. She nonetheless plans to carry out her orders, but is indignant of anyone else raising a hand to Helena, as that privilege is to be left to her alone.
[edit] Gameplay
Christie is a refined speed and strike character. Her "picks" are excellent at infringing stun status on an enemy, and her low to mid game is good. Her throws and counters, however, lack power and priority, and her tiger knee and air-juggling game leaves to be much desired. However, her almost non-existent recovery rate and pressure attacks (such as the Ren-Soja-Dako) make up for these.
[edit] Trivia
- Christie has a pet panther as shown in her ending CG in "Dead or Alive 3".
- Christie is played by Holly Valance in the DOA: Dead or Alive motion picture. In the film, Christie is also known as a master thief with a character called Max, played by Matthew Marsden, as her partner in crime. The film reveals her family name "Allen", which was not revealed in the video game series.
- Christie's 7th stage in Dead or Alive 4 has her fighting against Ryu Hayabusa or Ayane randomly.
- Her 4th costume in Dead or Alive 4 is amazingly similar to Rachel's attire from the Ninja Gaiden series.
