"***If there’s anything better than a free meal…well, I probably couldn’t talk about it in front of you. Heh.***"
—Christine Richter
**Christine Richter** is a character created by GoTee1. Christine Richter resides in the *The Girl Who Ate* universe.

A teenage girl working as a part time babysitter. She is a close friend of her former charge, Mac Kenwood, who harbours a strong crush on her. Christy’s main concern seems to be entertaining herself and feeding her considerable appetite.

## Biography

Born in September 2001, Christy grew up alongside a younger
sister in the suburbs. From even an early age, she had a passing interest in
fat, and occasionally experimented in eating large amounts of snacks. Over
time, this interest grew, until finally moved onto eating to actively gain
weight.

At age eleven, Christy began babysitting around her
neighborhood, and became infamous among her neighbors for her sweet tooth.
Not long after, she became the regular babysitter for Mac Kenwood, who she
would become close friends with despite their age difference.

At age fifteen, Christy no longer babysits Mac, but continues to hang out with him as friends whenever possible.

Some time in 2016. Christy entered a short film titled Babysitting Bites, starring herself and Mac, into a contest held by the SyFy channel to potentially be made into a full segment of a Made-for-TV horror anthology. It is currently unknown if she won.

## Appearance

Christy is an overweight young girl with long red hair past
her shoulders, and green eyes.

Of course her most striking feature is her girth. After an
inevitably big meal, Christy’s will often shamelessly let her stomach hang
out of her shirt.

Her preferred attire is a green shirt, a red jacket, and a pair
of sweat pants. While hardly concerned with fashion, Christy’s wardrobe is
updated quicker than most others’ due to her continued weight gain.

## Personality

Christy is known for being mostly laid back and focused on having
a good time, whether through goofing off with a friend, playing Laser Tag, or
stuffing her face. Being open to watching cartoons or playing dress up, she can
often be seen as childish or immature. These traits, however, prove very useful
to her as a babysitter.

As evidenced by her large waistline, Christy is an unapologetic glutton, and will take any opportunity to grab a bite to eat. While hardly obsessive, eating could be considered one of her main hobbies. Food always seems to be somewhere in the back of her mind. Despite her relatively young age, she already seems to be on terms with having a fat fetish, and takes pride in her weight.

Bullying or at least false friends seem to be a sore spot for her. Learning that Mac’s friends chose to leave him behind sent her into a
small rage. This appears to stem from an incident with her former friend
Candace, who is implied to have turned against her after Christy started gaining weight.

While very confident and usually in control, Christy has been known to overestimate herself, such as going on an intense carnival ride
on a full stomach, and almost being violently ill as a result, or not working her way up a ladder of spicy hot sauces.

Christine's favorite genre is Horror, gore laden slasher films in particular. To this end she's developed an interest in film-making, having even shot her own homemade horror movies. She appears to be self conscious about people not taking her hobby seriously.

It is unknown if Christy is aware of, or possibly even shares Mac's feelings. However, at one point it is implied that she kissed Mac on the cheek while he wasn't paying attention, implying that she is aware.
