Christa (Video Game)

"Trust? You think you can trust someone out here? Not now. Not anymore."

- Christa to Clementine on finding a new group. (Determinant)

Christa is a main character who first appears in Telltale Games's The Walking Dead: Season One and a returning character in Season Two. She is much more serious than her boyfriend Omid, but loves him deeply and is concerned for the safety of the group. After Lee's death and Kenny's disappearance, Christa and Omid take up Lee's role as Clementine's guardians. After becoming separated from Clementine, her whereabouts are unknown.

Character
Christa is an independent young woman capable of looking after herself after the death of her beloved boyfriend, Omid. She is caring towards those she loves, but can be unfriendly and cold to others that seem to be dangerous. She is always alert and aware of what is happenening around her and her group. Christa can be intimidating at times as shown with her and Molly's relationship, but can be solved, and the event when the group votes to kick Ben out of the group. Other than that she deeply cares about Omid, Lee and especially Clementine whist looking after and knowing her for two years.

San Francisco, California
Little is known about Christa's life before the outbreak. She lived in a San Francisco apartment, and she and her boyfriend, Omid, were taking the "All-American Road Trip" when the apocalypse began. She also had parents who were into Kung Fu movies and had a very fancy home. Omid also mentions that they owned a cat.

Barstow, California
Christa and Omid went to Barstow, as mentioned by Christa in "All That Remains". At some point during their road trip, Omid slept in the rain, something that Omid and Christa share jokes on.

"Long Road Ahead"
During the train ride to Savannah, the Motel Survivors come across a hanging petroleum tank truck on-top of a bridge blocking the train tracks. They then spot Christa and Omid on the bridge above when Omid comments on Kenny's persistent shouting.

Lee climbs up, followed by Clementine, asking both of them to help move the tank truck. Omid is amazed by Clementine, since he has not seen a child since the apocalypse began. Christa then remarks that Lee doesn't resemble Clementine's father and asks if he is with them, to which he replies "no". Christa then asks Lee his story about how he found Clementine. Christa and Omid agree to help move the tank truck but if anything happens, she will move on with Omid, alone. Christa then comes down and Lee introduces them to the Kenny, Ben, and Chuck. She then stays and chats to Clementine while Lee looks around.

During a conversation with Christa and Clementine, Lee discovers that she is from San Francisco and she and Omid were on the "Great American Road Trip" when the apocalypse happened. She also tells Lee that Omid has an interest in Civil War History, something Lee shares. She also takes a liking to Clementine and tells Lee that it's good that Clementine can use a gun for safety. She also gives some tips to him on how to stay alive.

After Clementine and Lee are attacked by walkers at the nearby depot, Christa walks in and sees the dead walkers. She then checks if they are both okay and goes to see if the noise attracted nearby walkers.

After the tank is cut down, a herd of walkers comes down the tracks, presumably following the train due to the amount of noise it made. Christa and the group get back to the train except for Lee and Omid, who are still up on the bridge. They both jump from the bridge, but Omid lands improperly and rolls off the train. Christa quickly rushes to his aid. Lee can then pick whether to save Christa or Omid, but either way, they are both able to get on the train.

"Around Every Corner"
After departing the train in Savannah, she, Omid, and the others travel to the river, where Kenny hopes there will be boats. Along the way, she tries to convince everyone that Omid needs to rest. When Clementine's radio goes off, with a man speaking, she questions Lee. Lee sees someone in a bell tower, and Christa asks if he was sure. Suddenly, after the bell goes off, a herd of walkers arrive. She uses her pistol to get Omid and her to safety. Once they are safe in the backyard of a mansion, she forces Omid to rest. Once that's done, she again questions Lee about the man on the radio. No matter what Lee says, she will be angered. After the house is searched and Lee buries Fivel, she is the first to see Lee after he finds someone stalking them at the gate. Fearing they're not safe, Kenny and Lee go to find a boat, while Ben stays behind with Christa, them taking care of Omid and Clementine.

After Lee comes back with Vernon, a doctor, she begs him to check on Omid. He does, briefly cleaning and patching up his wound. When Lee and Clementine find a boat in the garage of the mansion, she is excited to leave. However, they find out it has no battery or fuel. The group decides to steal medicine, fuel, and a battery from Crawford. She goes with the group, while Omid stays back in the house.

The group finds Crawford deserted and overrun by walkers. The group splits up to find everything they need. Christa and Vernon go to get the medicine from the Nurse's Office. However, the medicine is locked in a safe and they get trapped by walkers. Lee takes care of the walkers and finds two videotapes. They play them, discovering that Crawford forced pregnant women to have abortions. After a girl in the video ends up being forced to have to get an abortion, which she rejects, Christa gets upset. Also, earlier Lee mentioned that Christa has been throwing up the past couple of days. She denies anything if asked. Once they find the combination in the video, Christa and Vernon grab the medicine and head back to the Command Room. They make it back just in time, as the walkers arrive. Once inside the Armory, she finds a few rounds for her pistol. The group get trapped in the stairwell, forcing Lee to fend off the walkers with a newly-found shotgun. Christa saves Lee's life from walkers, as he reloads. Once everyone makes it to the top, she climbs onto the roof and escapes with everyone else.

Back at the house, the group finds Omid lying on the bed, motionless. She cries, but finds that he was just sleeping. With the medicine, Vernon saves his life. Once Omid is able to walk, they all plan to leave on the boat. However, they find Clementine kidnapped and Lee bitten, if he chooses to share that. Lee can ask for their help in finding Clementine.

Christa and Omid will offer to come based on how much they trust Lee up to this point - whether Lee reveals the bite to the group or not is an important factor in this. Christa, upon hearing the news, states that Clementine is all of their responsibility and that Lee doesn't have much time left. All suspecting Vernon, the group heads to the cancer survivors' underground shelter. However, it is found empty. Suddenly, a herd of walkers surrounds the outside of the building and the group receives a message on the walkie-talkie from the stranger who has kidnapped Clementine.

Alternatively, she and Omid won't come, saying that she doesn't trust Lee, if he does not show much faith in her. Instead, she and Omid will guard the boat in the house. Concealing the bite will increase the chances that they won't come, but it is not the only deciding factor. If Clementine didn't go to Crawford, Christa and Omid will accompany Lee even if he concealed his bite because Clementine had saved Omid's life when a walker entered the mansion, and the couple will want to return her favor.

"No Time Left"
If Christa and Omid came with Lee, they are with Lee after the stranger contacts him. She assures him that they will find Clementine. walkers begin getting in and they block and guard the door as Lee looks for another way out. After Lee finds a way, he passes out to due his bite. As he is unconscious, someone (either Christa or Kenny) will attempt to hack Lee's bitten arm off, but Lee awakes just in time. Lee will choose if he wants to hack the arm off and if he does, Christa will cut it off after Kenny expresses reluctance to do so. Either way, they all escape to the roof. After getting off the roof, they head back to Fivel's house for the last time. When they get there they find the boat gone. If everyone went with Lee, then Vernon's group left a note. However, if someone stayed behind, then they would be beat up and locked in the garage by Vernon. If Christa and Omid didn't go with Lee, they will also be locked in the garage by Vernon and his group. She will be either be shocked to see Lee's arm gone, or shocked by Lee's bite.

Either choice, walkers will approach the house and the group will attempt to make a stand in the house. This fails, and the group retreats to the attic. While in the attic, she and Omid get into a small fight. Lee can ask her and Omid to take care of Clementine or just to get her safe. Once out of the attic, they get into the neighbor's house and find a couple who committed suicide. She and Omid will stare at them and become depressed. Once Lee finds a way out, they head across the rooftops.

If Ben died in "Around Every Corner", Kenny will bump into Lee and the walkie-talkie will fall into a hole in the roof of a warehouse. She will jump down there to get it. Further inspection shows the building is full of walkers. Lee and Omid will panic and try to get her out. Kenny will jump down and boost her up. The walkers will approach and Kenny will be trapped by the horde, seemingly sacrificing his life to save Christa. The group looks down at the hole and leave, finding no evidence of his survival.

However, if Ben was saved in "Around Every Corner", Ben will fall off the roof and Kenny will instead sacrifice himself by putting a dying Ben out of his misery and a final gunshot is heard off-screen. The group then looks down at the alley from the rooftops, but finds no visible evidence of Kenny and assume his body is hidden amongst the undead. The group then accepts his death and continue their search for Clementine.

Either way, the group will make it on the rooftops to the Marsh House, which is across the street. However the street is full of walkers. Lee will either try to cross a sign or let Omid and Christa try to, however it breaks, separating them. If Lee volunteers to go first, he will imply that Christa is pregnant, stating that she would be "walking for two". Lee will tell them to either meet him by the train, boatyard, or tell them to go find him. He can also tell them to take care of Clementine. Their fate is unknown as they head off while Lee goes to the Marsh House.

"400 Days"
In Shel's Story, the remaining survivors of the cancer support group aligned themselves with Roman, Shel, and Becca at Gil's Pitstop. Depending on the in-game choice in "No Time Left", and if Christa and Omid stayed behind to guard the boat, they were mentioned by Boyd as the "woman and her boyfriend" when speaking about the past experience of having stolen the boat in Savannah.

"All That Remains"
Christa was seen with Omid and Clementine as the trio make their way to the bathroom at Gil's Pitstop. Christa was shown to be heavily pregnant, and playfully discussed possible names for the child with Omid. After departing to use the restroom, Christa was unaware of the ensuing chaos in the neighboring restroom. She rushed in to the bathroom after hearing the gunshot, and ran over to Omid's dead body. She was devastated at his death and shot Michelle as she dropped her gun in surrender. Christa held Omid's body before noticing that the gun that Michelle had dropped was Clementine's. She pleadingly looked at Clementine, but Clementine was speechless and began to cry. Christa sobbed into Omid's shoulder as Clementine looked on.

Sixteen months later, Christa and Clementine attempted to start a fire in a small camp out in the woods of North Carolina. Christa was no longer pregnant, with the fate of her pregnancy and child left unclear. The pair had plans to eventually trek up North to Wellington together. Christa was shown to be cynical, with Lee and Omid being sore subjects.

Christa was ambushed after she went to search for wood for their fire. Christa, protecting Clementine, insisted that she was by herself. Clementine eventually hears the commotion and can either attempt to distract the scavengers or sneak away. If Clementine distracts the scavengers she throws a rock at Winston and yells for Christa to run away. If Clementine sneaks away, Winston sees her and stabs Christa in the leg with a spear and Christa yells for Clementine to run away. No matter what option is chosen, Clementine is forced to run away from Winston. As Clem runs away Christa can be heard yelling before a gunshot rings out.

When the cabin group questions Clementine, she has the option to tell them about Christa, that she was attacked and she lost her friend and wants to find her. Also, when Clementine was in the shed taking care of her bite, she says Christa showed her how to suture injuries.

Clementine found Victor at the end of the episode and demanded that he tell her where Christa is, but he wasn't able to answer due to being injured and dehydrated, leaving Christa's fate uncertain.

"No Time Left"

Relationships
{{Scroll-1|

Omid
"...Oh God... Omid. Omid can you hear me? ...Omid."

- Christa mourning after Omid's death.

Omid and Christa have a very loving relationship. Both care about each other like many couples do. When on the bridge, Omid attempts to convince Christa to join Lee's group, claiming that they will need a group of people to help for an important upcoming event. When Omid is injured after jumping onto the train, Christa immediately jumps off to help him get on. Regardless of who the player pulls onto the train first, both will criticize Lee for not saving the other first. Throughout "Around Every Corner", Omid's injured leg is a major issue, and Christa constantly worries about Omid's condition, wanting to help him at every turn. She is among the first to volunteer on sneaking into Crawford to get medicine for Omid, and desperately asked Vernon for help upon his arrival to the mansion. When everyone thinks Omid is dead, Christa is almost devastated until he jumps back to consciousness.

Throughout "No Time Left", Christa and Omid share banter and concern for each other until they finally get separated from Lee at the sign over River Street.

In "All That Remains", the two are having a humorous argument over what to name their baby. When she discovers that Omid was shot, she breaks down and sobs over his corpse. Losing him seemed to have deeply devastated her, as afterwards she is shown as deeply bitter and cynical and unwilling to discuss Lee or Omid.

Lee Everett
"Lee, we're a team. That's how we've made it this far. We're not just going to abandon you, especially now. You've earned that much."

- Christa to Lee after he was bitten. (Determinant)

Christa's relationship with Lee starts off a little rocky since she initially doesn't trust Lee when her and Omid run into him and his group. When she walks into the train station and sees three walkers dead and Lee and Clementine unhurt, she scolds Lee, asking if he really knows what he's doing with her. As the episodes go on, she comes to respect Lee a lot more and if he reveals his bite to her at the end of "Around Every Corner" she will go with Lee to find Clementine. Then after Lee's death, she saddened and distraught about his death, as it is seen "All That Remains" when she is unwilling to talk about him.

Clementine
"You should be doing this, not me. Tending a fire so you can cook and stay warm... It's something you have to be able to do, Clementine. Otherwise..."

- Christa chastising Clementine.

When Christa first meets Clementine, she takes an immediate liking to her, and becomes a sort of motherly-figure after Katjaa dies. Although she may have disagreed with Lee on how he watched over Clementine, Christa always tried to protect her and displayed a great amount of concern for her welfare, going so far as to offer to take care of her in Lee's absence.

Later in "All That Remains", she is seen as having helped take over the role of guardian alongside Omid, yet appears to despise or resent Clementine's presence after Omid's death. She appears to get angry when Clementine mentions Omid as her gun was used to kill him. Despite their strained relationship, Christa still cares about Clementine, constantly worries about her safety, and is concerned about her ability to take care of herself. At some point, Christa also taught Clementine how to sew wounds. Clementine is worried about Christa's fate after they are separated as a result of the attack in the woods, and wants to find her. Later, when talking to Edith, Clementine can ask if her friend Christa is inside Wellington (Determinant). Clementine is with Christa for roughly two years, making Christa Clementine's longest lasting companion in the apocalypse thus-far.

Kenny
"I'm sorry. You've... lost more than anyone. Well, as much as anyone."

- Christa to Kenny.

When Christa and Kenny meet, Kenny sees her and Omid as just "excess baggage" and insists that the two of them are slowing down him and Lee, because of this, Christa doesn't care much for Kenny and vice versa. However, in "No Time Left", Kenny and Christa bury the hatchet so to speak, by Christa asking Kenny how he's doing when trapped in the attic. Kenny saves Christa's life when she is attacked by a small herd. Christa was shown to be saddened of his presumed death. When Clementine encounters Kenny after being separated from Christa, Kenny appeared saddened to learn of her disappearance.

Ben Paul
"No. Let him."

- Christa telling Lee to let Ben stand up to Kenny. (Determinant)

Ben and Christa don't interact too much, and as such she votes to leave Ben behind in Crawford when he removed the hatchet from the double doors and let the walkers in. However, Christa changes her mind and abstains if Clementine is given permission to voice her opinion, probably out of respect for Clementine. Lee asks her and Omid for their opinion on Ben, Christa says she recognizes that Ben is a risk to the group but feels bad for him all the same.

Chuck
"Wait, where the hell's Chuck?"

- Christa voicing concern for Chuck.

Christa and Chuck didn't have a lot of time to form a form of relationship with one another as Chuck didn't last very long in the group after meeting Omid and Christa. Chuck seemed to care for Christa and the others, however, as he stayed behind to give the group a chance to escape. How Chuck's death affects Christa remains unknown.

Molly
"Why are you even still here?"

- Christa questioning Molly.

Christa doesn't seem to trust Molly when they first meet after she saves Lee, Kenny and Clementine's life. During when Kenny checks the boat and Lee waiting for him, Molly tells him to quit pacing, and Christa asks why she is still here, and Molly responds that in order to owe her for saving their lives, she deserves a spot on the boat. During when finding the medicine, Molly directly knows where it is, and Christa asks how she knows, but Molly lies by saying it was a good guess. If Lee left Molly behind after Ben took the hatchet out of the door, Christa asks where she is, and Lee says she didn't make it, to Christa's shock, this implies that she started to care about Molly.

Vernon
"He's right; they're not invalids. They are just people. People who have been dealing with shitty situations even longer than we have. No wonder they got the jump on us."

- Christa to the group about Vernon. (Determinant)

Christa didn't interact much with Vernon, but Christa was eager in helping Vernon get medicine for his group and Omid. She was thankful for the doctor's assistance in Omid's recovery. Later, when the group discovered Vernon had stolen the boat, Christa seemed angry about the betrayal, but not as much as the other group members. This may have been because of the help Vernon had provided Omid with. Christa was understanding to Vernon and his group, and said that they needed the boat more than them.

Stranger
"Me neither. Walkers are one thing, but the thought of someone out there stalking us..."

- Christa to the group.

Even though Christa wasn't involved in looting the Stranger's supplies, the Stranger too hated her and the rest of the group, blaming them for destroying and ruining his life. Christa never had a chance to meet the Stranger but it was shown that she viewed him as an enemy for kidnapping Clementine. Christa was at first afraid that the Stranger may be up to no good and becomes worried that they might be in danger. She questioned Clementine on what she knew about him, and promptly denied any claims that he might have wanted to help the group. In "No Time Left", Christa willingly joins Lee and the others to save Clementine and to finish the conflict between the group and the Stranger for good.

Michelle
"I didn't mean to! I didn't mean to... I didn't--"

- Michelle trying to apologize Christa for shooting Omid.

Christa and Michelle only met each other briefly, but it was clear that Christa hated Michelle for accidentally shooting Omid. Even though Michelle was remorseful for what she had done, Christa shot and killed Michelle, in revenge for Omid.

Winston
"Lying bitch."

- Winston to Christa as he stabs her. (Determinant)

Winston was very hostile towards Christa, as he and his group robbed her and didn't believe her when she claimed to be alone. This hostility was further shown when Winston stabs her in the leg for lying to him and his group. (Determinant)

Victor
"Bullshit...! Come on guys! Do you expect us to believe you are out here all alone?!"

- Victor to Christa as he hold Christa to gun point.

Victor has a very hostile relationship with Christa, as he and his group plan on robbing Christa. Victor get separated from Christa and Clementine will ask about her Victor will tell Clem nothing.

Ralph
"I'm by myself"

- Christa to Ralph

Ralph has a very hostile relationship with Christa, as he and his group plan on robbing Christa. Ralph helds Christa at gun point demanding and asking questions about where her group is.}}
