Christie is a British assassin hired by Donovan to keep an eye on, and eventually kill, Helena Douglas. Christie's mission is to stop Helena from competing in the tournament and later to prevent her from discovering more about Donovan's plans and his anti-Douglas faction. She is disguised as a servant to Helena, though her specific occupation is not given. When Helena confronts Christie, Christie reveals to her that she is actually an assassin sent by Donovan. She specializes in the She Quan fighting style.
In Dead or Alive 4, Christie seeks to prevent the Mugen Tenshin ninja clan (Kasumi, Hayate and Ayane) and their ally Ryu Hayabusa from destroying DOATEC. It is also revealed that she was the assassin who killed Helena's mother (earlier it had been implied that Ayane was the killer). She also fights Bayman (although not in her Story Mode), supposedly on seeking an evening of the score as being assassins.
She later appears on Zack island in Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 to carry out a special assignment for her client.
