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.
Christie has quite a substantial fanbase. Some fans consider her to be an excellent addition to the cast, adding sex appeal to the series, as well as light-heartedness to largely-somber cast. However, this is also a major criticism of the character. Christie's scarce clothing and flirtatious mannerisms give many the impression that Christie was added merely as fan service to the cast. At the same time, Christie's minimal part in the story (which, to date, has only consisted of searching for Eddy and trying to save her grandfather) does not interest many fans, especially when it's considered that Eddy's story of revenge against Kazuya Mishima was interrupted by Christie's introduction.
A further criticism is inherited from Eddy directly--many fans despise Tekken's interpretation of capoeira, as used by both Eddy and Christie. A common criticism is that it rewards button mashing players too richly.
Trivia
- General
- A Maxim model named Hannah starred as Christie Monteiro in the Tekken Maxim Photoshoot for the Maxim magazine.
- Christie's 1st player outfits seem to be designed after the pants used in Capoeira. Regular Capoeira pants are white and have some sort of stripped rope indicating one's level; however, Christie's outfits seem to be a more glamorous version of these pants.
- A common theme for Christie's Capoeira style outfits is that of a butterfly. In Tekken 4, it can be seen hanging on the front of her pants and on her Player 2 shirt, while in Tekken 5/Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection and Tekken 6, her pants are decorated with a single butterfly on each thigh and a butterfly pin holds the straps of her top together. She also can be customized to have butterfly wings on her back.
- Tekken 4
- Christie Monterio's voice actress is Xanthe Smith.
- Heihachi Mishima is her Sub boss
- The guy who said Marshall Law's cooking sucked (in Law's Tekken 4 ending) and one of the female restaurant patrons (the girl in the black sweater outfit) can be seen in Christie's Tekken 4 ending as she runs up to Eddy. The former is cheering on Christie's victory while the latter seemingly looks back at Eddy.
- Tekken 5 & T5: Dark Resurrection
- Christie's sub-bosses are Bruce Irvin and Eddy Gordo.
- She is Eddy Gordo's Stage 4 sub-boss.
- Christie Monteiro's voice actress is now Lisle Wilkerson, which is also the voice actress of Nina Williams in Tekken 4 and Tekken 5, and Sarah Bryant in the Virtua Fighter series.
- In Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, Christie (and soon Zafina in Tekken 6) can be customized to look like Princess Jasmine from Disney's Aladdin.
- Tekken 6 & T6: Bloodline Rebellion
- In the "Power is Everything" trailer for Bloodline Rebellion, Christie is shown for a moment with her hands together, praying. She is shown wearing a long-sleeved black shirt (at 0:41 - 0:42). This is taken from her ending, where she is at Ho Chi Myong's funeral with Eddy.
- In the Scenario Campaign mode, Christie is a boss at the Seahorse Grand Hotel stage.

Story
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 Animation "Christie Fin"
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.

Interludes
Stage 4: Bruce Irvin
Bruce looks at Christie and says, "Well! The competition certainly has gotten easier on the eyes." Christie replies, "I doubt you'll think of me that way after I'm through with you." Bruce says, "You wanna see how long your Capoeira stands up to my kicks?" Bruce slaps one of his knees with one of his hands. Christie answers, "Absolutely." After Christie wins, Bruce is knocked to the ground. Bruce says, "Pretty tough!" Christie holds up one of her index fingers and shakes her hand while going, "Tsk, tsk, tsk." Then, she says, "You have no rhythm. You'll never be able to beat me." Christie smiles, turns around, and walks away.
