But soon thereafter, Eddy abruptly vanishes, leaving Christie only with the words, 'Those responsible for my father's death must pay.' Troubled by his sudden and mysterious disappearance, Christie goes looking for him, her only lead being The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4.Ĭhristie is able to reunite with Eddy during or after the tournament, as the two are together to see Christie's grandfather being released from prison. Finding her soon after his return from The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3, Eddy manages to teach Christie to become a capoeira prodigy in only two years. Eddy is taught the art of capoeira and after his release, his master requests that he seek and teach his granddaughter capoeira. In the Tekken series, Christie is the granddaughter of a legendary capoeira master who is incarcerated in the same prison cell as Eddy Gordo. Originally she was an effective palette swap (in reality a costume and gender swap) of Eddy in playability, but successive games have given her subtly different timing and a few moves of her own, making her feel like a different character.Īppearances Video games

After some time, a female Capoeira practitioner in the form of Christie was created for Tekken 4. It was desired by Masahiro Kimoto, one of the game designers of Tekken 3, that the Capoeira character be female but the artist that was tasked with the character's design deemed the female character too difficult to create and instead created Eddy. The Tekken 3 development team wanted to include a Capoeira practitioner for the game and turned to the development artists to create the character. The character has received positive reception from critics and fans, and, along with Eddy, has been credited with popularizing the art of capoeira to a new audience within the larger gamer and martial arts community. Becoming a prodigy in only two years, Christie mainly involves herself in The King of Iron Fist Tournaments in search for a cure for her grandfather, who has become sick during his incarceration. After Eddy Gordo's release, Eddy swears an oath to his master to teach his granddaughter, Christie, the art of capoeira. She is the granddaughter of a legendary capoeira master who taught Eddy Gordo the art of capoeira in prison. A fighter of Afro-Brazilian nationality, Christie uses the Brazilian fighting style of capoeira.
