Fire Touched

• Christina¹⁶⁵

Night Broken

• Christy was shorter than Mercy by a couple of inches, about the same size as Jesse. The body in the blouse and peasant skirt was softly curved, but not fat. Her hair, brown when Mercy had last seen her, was now blond-streaked and French-braided in a thick rope that hung to her hips³⁸

With Adam

Night Broken

• Can get Adam to do things he had no intention of doing¹⁰
• Had been angry that Adam had insisted on moving all the way out to Finley instead of building in one of the more prestigious neighborhoods in West Richland or Kennewick. He'd given her free rein in the house to make up for the fact that he'd wanted the house next to Mercy's trailer³⁸
• Met Adam when she was eighteen. He'd been older than that, a werewolf already⁴⁹

With the Wolves

River Marked

• Jealous of the pack⁵⁰

Night Broken

• Christy was well liked by most of the pack. She was just the sort of sweet, helpless homemaker that appealed to a bunch of werewolves with too much testosterone⁸
• Christy was Auriele's friend⁹
• Didn't like Warren⁴²
• Mary Jo was Christy's friend⁴²
• Honey about Christy: “Helpless bitch had the whole pack-Adam included-hopping to her tune. Couldn't mow the lawn, change a tire, or carry her own laundry up the stairs. Even Peter fell for it, and he usually had better sense. She didn't like Warren-I thought at the time she was worried he was going to make a play for Adam, but mostly, I think, he didn’t fall over himself to be her slave. Darryl’s helpless against her, but at least he knows it. All that might not have been too bad, but she played them all off each other. I had my own private celebration when she left Adam.”⁹⁷
• Doesn't feel comfortable with the wolves if Adam isn't there¹⁰⁷
• Ben wasn't petting Christy either²³⁴

Storm Cursed

• Christy would cringe from Adam and all of the wolves⁴⁶

With Mercy

Night Broken

• Resents that Mercy took her place⁸
• Used the bottle of shampoo left in Mercy's bathroom, and it dyed her hair blue³³⁸

Fire Touched

• If Adam wasn’t standing there, Christy and Mercy could come to a meeting of minds. There would be snark and snarling, but in the end they could deal with each other. Mostly, Mercy suspected, because without Adam’s presence to remind Christy that Mercy had won the prize she’d tossed away, she remembered to be afraid of what Mercy might do if Christy made her life too unpleasant. It was a pretty good return for a box of blue dye¹⁴⁵
