Christie Monteiro (クリスティ・モンテイロ Kurisuti Monteiro?) is a character in the Tekken series of video games. She made her first appearance in Tekken 4 and returned for all subsequent releases except Tekken 7. She is the granddaughter of the Legendary Capoeira Master, who taught Eddy Gordo Capoeira.
Appearance[]
Christie has long brown hair, light brown eyes, and tan skin. In her Player 1 outfit, she always wears Capoeira pants and fights barefoot, wearing a bikini top that changes design from Tekken 4 to Tekken 5. Her secondary costume is a more casual attire that features a patterned shirt tied at the front, paired with shorts and sandals. Previously in Tekken 4, she wore her hair down, but, as of Tekken 5, she wears it tied up in a ponytail.
Personality[]
Christie is not a particularly combative character. She is rather light-hearted and joyful. She does not fight out of envy, but rather always with a very specific goal. She is one of the few characters in the series to fight on behalf of others, rather than for vengeance, entering the tournaments to find her master Eddy, as well as to help her Grandfather. Her kind nature is also emphasized in her Tekken Tag Tournament 2 ending, where, despite desperately wishing to reunite with Eddy, she pauses to help a lost child find their mother, causing her to lose her opportunity to get on the same train as Eddy.
Christie has a playful side to her, often teasingly asking her opponents if they hurt themselves during her win poses. She also displays equal skill to Eddy in terms of Capoeira, showing off with agile maneuvers.
