Christie Monteiro (Japanese: クリスティ・モンテイロ, Hepburn: Kurisuti Monteiro) is a character in the Tekken video game series of 3D fighting games. She is a Brazilian fighter who uses the fighting style, capoeira.
She is the granddaughter of a legendary capoeira master who taught Eddy Gordo the art of capoeira in prison. After Eddy Gordo's release, Eddy swears an oath to his master to teach his granddaughter, Christie, the art of capoeira. Becoming a prodigy in only two years, Christie mainly involves herself in The King of Iron Fist Tournaments in search of a cure for her grandfather, who has become sick during his incarceration.
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.
