"That woman...Serilda! Her brutality and body counts. How many? Seven? At least? And her name all set to haunt this village for thousand years. I have already tripled her score. Think how long they'll talk of me!"

- Christine to Betsy Ross Christine Van Bilj, or the self-proclaimed Queen Bee, Serilda the Second, the Queen and Charlotte Raisin after being experimented by Gregory Grape is one of the major antagonists of LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow storyline, being the Supreme Witch of Darkness after Serilda of Abbaddon and Lady Mary Van Tassel. After the resurrection of the real Christine due efforts made by her brother, Colin, the real Christine turned into the true main antagonist of LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow - Death Arc - Blood Moon Sub Arc.

Being an advisor of the infamous General William Howe, Christine was born to be a child prodigy and acted as a evil counterpart of Ichabod Crane who was also intellegent. She and her twin brother, Colin, were the most bitter rivals of Ichabod in his teenage times, and they often bullied him. After managing to become Willaim Howe's advisor, Christine managed to create a mutation of killer bees and planned to turn human into dark witches and ruled them as their "queen", very much alike to a queen bee ruling its hive. After the breakout of Revolutionary War and the Great Fire of New York, Christine later became the family leader after learning that her father, Caspar, was only using his children for his own self-serving purposes, and Christine deemed her father as useless and inferior. She used her newly-made poison to turn her father into a half-man, half-bee undying monster, before trapping him into Purgatory purely out of nothing but disgust. She then experimented the poison on herself and faked her death in order to seal her soul into a dead tree beside the Trout Lake.

237 years later, when the Blood Moon Crisis returned, Colin Van Bilj, who was severly injured and haunted by a split alter-ego of his own sister, resurrected Christine, but Christine ungratefully killed her brother simply he did not wake her up on time. Soon afterwards, by using her bracelet, the Blood Moon Terrible, Christine planned to command a new army formed by possessed townspeople, but she was soon destroyed her plan was ultimately crushed by Team Witnesses as well as Hexenmeister Community.

However, Christine was later brought back from death by Malice Do'Urden, Jasmine Porcelain and Valindra Shadowmantle, becoming one of the greates threat for Team Witness. Later, thanks to Sister Mary Eunice's efforts, Christine was splited in half, making a heroic counterpart known as Kristen/Christine Van Tassel was formed. After some struggling one time after another, Ichabod managed to destroy the evil Christine forever and leaving her heroic counterpart living happily on Earth.

She is an OC character created by Officer Candy Apple from CIS Productions.

Death's Return Arc
After a long time of her death, Christine's demise did not last long. Atticus Nevins (under Moloch's own instruction) brought the coprse of Betsy to Malice Do'Urden after several failed attempt to turn Betsy back into a monster and revive her, due to the severity of her corpse's damage.

However, instead of bringing back Betsy as Malice urged her to do, Jasmine Porcelain had another plan within her mind. Under an excuse of unconventinal idea, Porcelain channeled every soul fragments she could find from the shattered soul of Christine, and by mixing her DNA with Betsy's corpse, she created a brand new body for Christine, with Christine's face instead of Betsy's face. Then, by enchanting the dried blood of Christine inside Betsy's vine, Jasmine Porcelain brought Christine back to life with the help of Valindra Shadowmantle, who turned Christine into a lich.

When Christine was revived, she could not have a memory of her previous life, and she fell into a catatonic state until Valindra arrived and calmed her down. After managing to revive the hidden memories of Christine, Valindra successfully calmed down Christine for a while, but Christine was then consumed by a thrist of revenge and had an attempt to sought vengence upon Ichabod Crane and Abbie Mills. However, Valindra told her that it was far too early to seek vengence upon Ichabod, since Christine's power was greatly reduced due to her death, and adviced that Christine should go back to Moloch and train herself. Very reluctantly, Christine agreed and returned back to Purgatory with Valindra, who persuaded Moloch to train Christine and made her his secret weapon.

Tyrian Shekels Sub Arc
In Tyrian Shekels Sub Arc, Christine returned as the sub arc's main arc villain.

After Henry Parrish (or Jeremy Crane) became the Horseman of War, Moloch gave Christine one of the 30 Tyrian shekels, or silver coins enchanted with dark magic that could corrupt human beings, and it was the very same coin that corrupted Benedict Arnold. Since Christine was already evil, she would not be affected by the curse of the coin. Christine then sent the coin to Henry, urging him to corrupt people and make them wreck havoc, in order to make a bait to hook Nick Hawley, a professional bounty hunter.

After the plan failed, Christine arrived at Fredericks Manor and taunted Henry for his failure as well as his decision to live inside his birthplace where his mother was almost killed. Christine said that she would find the other 29 coins by herself and Henry, since he was the Horseman of War, must gave full support. Then, after Henry reluctantly agreed, Christine left with a laugh, leaving Henry furious and looked at the bed where his mother lied on and gave birth to him. Horrified by the sad memory, Henry burned down the bed.

During the treasure hunting led by Nick Hawley in order to find the remianing 29 Tyrian shekels, Ichabod and Abbie had to work for him in order to stop Henry's further plan. Then, at the woods, theyhad found trace of Blood Moon Witches appearing in Sleepy Hollow. Suspecting that they were sent by Henry, Ichabod and Abbie followed them into a cave and found Christine, standing beside Henry, much to their shock and horror. Sensing Ichabod and Abbie's arrival, Christine then summoned three of the Tyrian shekels and escaped.

More coming soon!

Two Christines
After the events of the Catacombs as well as her new defeat, Christine had a memory loss since her original twisted self was trapped in Catacombs in replace of Abbie, despite somehow keeping her power and abilities, which made her confused and thought she was a "very dangerous baker". Completely forgetting her name, this "Christine" started to desire a new name that was awesome.

Abbie, Sophie and Jenny were suspicious about the memory loss of Christine, but Katrina managed to comfirm that the evil Christine was trapped in the cell and now presented in front of them was a vacant and clumsy Christine. Instead of feeling sorry for Christine's memory loss (since there was no need to be sorry for the evil Christine), Katrina used this as an advantage to brainwash Christine, making her believe she was her cousin who once immigrated to France with their grandmother, also filling her with false memories.

Therefore, Christine who lost her memory became an ally of Ichabod and Abbie, and thus becoming the so-called "Kristen Van Tassel" or "Christine Van Tassel", a optimistic and funny female figure who was fond of love, equality as well as freedom, in contrast to her original evil, hateful and sadistic self that endorse dictatorship.

However, meanwhile, the evil side of Christine was still alive in the Catacombs and had to find a way to escape. Just then, she met Jasmine Porcelain once again and realized that her body was brainwashed by Katrina, becoming another person who was friendly to Ichabod. Furious, Christine pleadged Jasmine to release her, and it was just what Jasmine wanted. Jasmine had just captured a renegade Drow and dealt with the Hidden One to present him this Drow as a new slave, prompting the Hidden One to release the evil Christine. Then, summoned by Pandora in an unwilling attitude, Christine reborn once again and arrived at Sleepy Hollow. She sought vengence against the Witnesses as well as her good self which she could not bear.

Afterwards
After the evil Christine was drove back into Hell once again, the good Kristen visited the grave of her father (Caspar) and brother (Colin) silently mourning them before crying in front of their graves, carrying the burden of her family murders and start atoning for her true family's crimes. Then, Kristen kept her false family name and became a good friend with Ichabod and the Team Witness as usual. Putting the bad memories of her evil past behind, Kristen planned to open a cosmetic shop in Sleepy Hollow if she survived the Years of Tribulations alongside the world.

Christine Vs. Christine Arc was the last major appearance of the evil Christine prior to Harvest Saga.

Trivia

 * 60072109_p0_master1200.jpgionally, Christine was having a small role as an Arc Villain, but later her role was extended once she was resurrected by Malice Do'Urden and Jasmine Porcelain, becoming a Breakout Villain with a much darker and much less bratty personality, and later she was promoted into one of the major villains of the entire storyline.
 * Although choronically being the first Dark Lady of Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow who confronted Ichabod, the real Christine Van Bilj is the eighth Dark Lady debuted in the LOTM: WoSH storyline, after Lady Van Tassel, Vanifer, Aerisi Kalinoth, Serilda of Abaddon, Melancholia, Jasmine Porcelain and Valindra Shadowmantle. Coincidentally, all of them are either servants of Moloch or at least related to his atrocities.
 * Christine Van Bilj was the first villain in the Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow storyline to become a temporary hero due to angelic brainwashing during her memory loss, which spawn the birth of Kristen Van Tassel, a benevolent being with no cruelty of the original Christine inside her. However, despite being two perosnonalities of one person, Kristen and Christine are NOT the same person at all.
 * The relations between these two counterparts could be compared to that between Eckidina KnightWalker and Echidna StinWalker.
