[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 Dead or Alive 3 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. When Helena confronts Christie, Christie reveals to her that she is actually an assassin sent by Donovan.
[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). She also fights Bayman (although not in her Story Mode) supposedly on seeking an evening of the score as being assassins.
[edit] Dead or Alive Xtreme 2
Christie has supposedly returned to Zack island to carry out a special assignment for her client.
[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 Dead or Alive 4, 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 "jabs" are excellent at inflicting stun (or stagger) 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 much to be desired. However, her almost non-existent recovery rate and pressure attacks (such as the Ren-Soja-Dako) make up for these.
[edit] Movie appearance
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. Her hair style is also different, and it is dyed platinum blonde, rather than being white as in the games. In this continuity she is portrayed as a more approachable and social person.
