CHRISTIE MONTEIRO


Christie Monteiro (born October 18, 1987) is a character in the Tekken series of video games. She is the granddaughter of the master who taught Eddy Gordo. Originally, the development team intended to create a female Capoeira fighter for Tekken 3, but felt too unconfident at the time and so opted for a male character instead. Upon her introduction in Tekken 4, Christie replaced Eddy as the prominently-featured Capoeira practitioner. Yet, with the release of Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, Eddy has been reintroduced to the canonical series as a non-palette swap character. Christie is the granddaughter of the master to Eddy Gordo, who took him in the art of Capoeira during his time in prison. While in prison, Eddy swore an oath to the Master to pass on the art of Capoeira to his granddaughter.

Christie Monteiro appears in the live-action Tekken movie. In addition, she has no relation to Eddy Gordo and is Jin's "girlfriend". Christie is portrayed by American actress Kelly Overton. This version of Christie is a Caucasian mixed martial artist instead of a Brazilian Capoeira fighter and is referenced to her video game incarnation by her fighting gear and her being trained by her grandfather. She seems to be originating from an organization called Vectrocorp.
Christie bears more than a passing resemblance to Monique Fuentes, Aishwarya Rai and Jennifer Lopez.

Christie is a video game sex symbol being featured on numerous online hottest female game character lists.

EDDY GORDO


Eduardo "Eddy" Gordo (born March 1, 1978) is a video game character in the Tekken fighting game series. Eddy was born into one of the richest families in Brazil. Ever since he was a small boy, he knew he would one day take over the family business. He was well-liked in his home town because he was a hard worker who treated others as his equals.

Although Eddy Gordo was a playable character in Tekken 4, he wasn't an actual participant in the tournament. It was implied that Eddy has disappeared during the fourth tournament for seeking vengeance against the person responsible for the death of his father (later turned out to be Kazuya Mishima). His student, also the granddaughter of his master, Christie Monteiro, entered The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4 to find Eddy, as this was the only clue that can lead her to him.
In the 2010 live-action film Tekken, Eddy is portrayed by Brazilian capoeira fighter Lateef Crowder. He participates in the Iron Fist tournament, originating from Valencorp, and is pitted against Raven. Despite putting up a good fight, Eddy is beaten. Unlike the games, he has no relation to Christie Monteiro, the latter instead serving as Jin's love interest.
Eddy is considered a master; the default color of his cords (a sign of rank in Capoeira) is white. In certain capoeira groups a white colored cord is the highest rank attained.
