Introduction
Chrstie Monteiro the granddaughter of Eddy Gordo's master (see Ho Chi Myong) and Eddy's student. She has replaced Eddy as the prominently-featured capoeira fighter in the Tekken series. In Tekken 4, she entered The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4 to search for Eddy, and in Tekken 5, she entered The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 because she wished to use the Mishima Zaibatsu's cutting-edge technology to save her grandfather. As of Tekken 6, Christie enters the 6th Tournament to find Eddy and her grandfather, who have mysteriously gone missing.
In the beginning Namco wanted to have a female Capoeirist, but at the time, felt unsure, prompting them to create Eddy Gordo in Tekken 3. In the next one, Namco had enough confidence to release Christie as a new character, and the reception was well-received. With her almond-brown eyes, tanned skin, curvy figure and sexy clothing, she took the spotlight from other Tekken girls easily, adding sex appeal and style to the series. She is seen to care deeply for those in her life, mainly her grandfather Ho Chi Myong and her master Eddy Gordo. Though many fans see a possible love interest between the two, nothing as of late has indicated or even hinted romantic feelings between the two.
Games in order of appearance: Tekken 4, 2001. Tekken 5, 2004. Tekken 6, 2007. Tekken Tag Tournament 2, 2012.
History
Gameplay
While Eddy has a rather structured style to his Capoeira, Christie has a much more dancing series of movements. Her ginga has been noticed to be somewhat lighter on the feet than his, and her movements somewhat more fluid.
Story
- Prologue (In-Game Text)
- Christie is the granddaughter of the Capoeira master who taught Eddy Gordo the art of Capoeira during his incarceration in prison. While in prison, Eddy swore an oath to the master to pass on the art of Capoeira to his granddaughter. Eddy sought out Christie shortly after his return from The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3 and taught her the art of Capoeira, just as he promised his master. After only two years of tutelage, Eddy turned Christie into an impressive fighter. But soon thereafter, Eddy abruptly disappeared, leaving Christie only with the words, "I must seek vengeance against the enemy responsible for the death of my father." Troubled by his sudden and mysterious disappearance, Christie chases after Eddy with her only lead — The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4.
- Ending (Unofficial Synopsis)
- Christie Monteiro has defeated Heihachi Mishima and won the tournament. The audience is cheering for her. People are walking up to her, taking photos of her and complimenting her about her victory. One man starts to interview her about her victory. Christie is very nonchalant throughout this. A man in a suit walks up to her, holding a golden trophy that is shaped like Heihachi's head. Two women are behind this man. Christie looks through the crowd and sees Eddy, who has a sling on one of his arms. Christie starts to run up to him while yelling, "Eddy!", twice. An echo of her saying this is heard after the second time she says it. Christie runs up to him and hugs him. Eddy hugs her with his other arm (the arm that doesn't have a sling around it). Christie says, "Eddy...", and then she closes her eyes and smiles.
