Notes: 1) A lot of this has been worked out with Steam, so...!

Background: Christine was born to a wealthy family in Seattle colony a few years before Second Impact and watched as space itself came under attack by the Irgelions. When the Irgelions made their abrupt surrender, Christine was told one simple thing from her father: "This just proves that we truly are the superior race." As the years went on, Christine continued to hold on to that line and flaunted it whenever she could, much to the chagrin of both the younger Irgelions and humans around her.

However, this was put to the test during an election when her mother and an Irgelion female both opted to run for office. During that time, Christine came across the son of her mother's opponent who held a low regard for humans and was openly hostile to Christine. During those tense months, the Irgelion continued to taunt poor Christine as she clung desperately to her father's words. On the verge of finally accepting defeat, both were shocked with the results - despite a tight race, Christine's mother won the elections. Greatly bolstered, Christine finally turned the tables on her surprised mocker: "Admit it, my father was right: humans are superior and you're nothing more than second best!" Unknowingly, it was Thaumata who helped push Christine's mother to victory, despite their own decline.

A few years later, through her mother's pushings, Christine was opted to join Danconias Phillips, believing that a place like that would do Christine good. After all, she saw that the company was going places and just needed the right push. To this end, she began the life of a mecha pilot, though her pride got the better of her and refused too much training and thought that she would be an ace in no time. After all, look at all the other aces out there who fell into mechs and got good at it. During this time, she would come to learn of Herrera Futuristics and its mascot, the Irgelion named Julia Richardson. She couldn't believe it - an Irgelion as a mascot? It was unbelievable and she saw that one day, she'd be able to face her and prove she was better in the cockpit...

...only to start wondering why she felt funny seeing her.

When Danconias Philips bought Herrera Futuristics and released Julia from their mascot position, Julia quickly jumped in to take that spot. With a little help of her parents, she was able to win that spot and be the new mascot, only to learn that Julia was still out there in the out-dated Corona, fighting alongside the White Chalice.As well, Christine found herself placed in the heirarchy of Thaumata, the group that Danconias Philips was part of, though she only knew that it was a high-ranking official within Philips who allowed her to reach that point. Only now, she's greatly conflicted - she's now the mascot. She's better than her now. Why is Julia still fighting and... why does she seem happy for her? To this end, she's decided one thing - Julia must be defeated completely if she can finally squash these odd feelings and prove that humans are superior.

During their first encounter, Julia ended up besting Christine in battle, though Christine let slip a piece of information to her - that Thaumata and Danconias Philips were connected and that someone within Philips was controlling them. What she didn't know, though, that this was all part of a plan...

Personality: Christine is a spoiled-rotten brat with an ego the size of Texas.

Expanding on that, Christine's life was pretty much a simple life where she was able to get just about anything she wished when she wanted it. It didn't help that her parents were quite powerful and was able to do just that. Because of this, she'll easily get frustrated and whine whenever something doesn't go her way. This especially goes true when she loses. To her, she's perfect in everyway and if she screws up, it isn't because she did something wrong, it's because you did something to screw her up. Even if you weren't in the way, she'll blame you.

She's also quite vain. As the mascot for Herrera Futuristics, both her looks and her piloting skills are number one in her books and she goes through great pains to keep up both appearances. While it can be said that there are a number of people who do think she is pretty, Christine will easily enflate those numbers just to make herself look like she's completely irresistable. She's pretty, she's talented and she's the mascot of the company. Anything else is nonsense.

She's also xenophobic to a degree. However, unlike the Federation (who feared Newtypes), Blue Cosmos (who think Coordinators should all just keel over) and someone like Prescia Tessarossa (who thought Fate, an Artifical Human, was nothing more than a doll and didn't want anything to do with her), Christine thinks that she's just better than Irgelions. This was due to an incident concerning a campagin between her mother and an Irgelion that lead to their respective children to come face to face and ended with Christine gloating over the victory. She probably feels the same way over the other human-types, but most of her feelings are pointed at the Irgelions.

However, despite all of this, the one thing that describes her is "insecure". She's heard the rumblings behind her back - that she's a piss-poor pilot, that she isn't even worthy of holding the title of "mascot". While she'll be quick to scold someone over their doubts, when she's away from everyone, she'll more than likely break down, not understanding why they just don't see how great she is. This extends even more to her one-sided rivalry with Julia - she can't understand why someone like her is still active, still fighting, even after she's been kicked out and she wants to prove that, deep down, she's better than her.

This is a lie.

She's going after Julia because, after an one-off encounter, Christine developed an obsession over her. The fact that Julia clashes with her world view over the Irgelions. In her mind, she believes that if she can defeat her, she can finally forget about her and get back to business as usual.

Capabilities and Resources: None

(*REQUIRED* if you have a robot)
Robot Name: HK-8675 Solstice "Hanging Gardens"
Robot Description: The Solstice is a new type of Promenince Armor designed by the Danconias Philips-controlled Herrera Futuristics. The Hanging Gardens is a major change comparaed to the Corona in that it shifts from melee and solid weaponry to ranged and beam weaponry. The unit is armed with a massive beam cannon and a set of beam pistols. In terms of defense, it's armed with a solid state shield and a Kinetic Dispertion Unit, a system that renders certain objects harmless by, as the name suggests, dispersing kinetic energy from the object. However, this isn't fool-proof as objects moving by its own power, such as a melee attack or a missile attack, would nullify it. As well, it's apparent that it isn't resistant against beam-type attacks.

Beyond that, the unit is also outfitted with a special flight unit that gives it the ability to stay airborne in the atmosphere
Terrain Stats: (This is optional, but for those who have played SRW, this is a good way to give us a quick judge of how good your mech is overall. For those of you who haven't played the games, they are measured: --, D, C, B, A, S, with -- or D meaning it can't fight there at all and S being the best. Note that only upgrades tend to have an S unless they are entirely gimped or unusable in other areas.)
Land: B
Air: A
Sea: C
Space: A

Upgrades: (if any) Do that later

Job: (Former) Mascot

Suggested Event List: Steam has them.
