=====Relationships=====
**With Adam**

[[Moon Called]]
  * Divorced four years<sup>299</sup>
  * Tries to make him feel bad, like he's an animal<sup>300</sup>

[[River Marked]]
  * She didn't love Adam, but she had wanted to be the center of his world and would tolerate nothing else<sup>50</sup>
  * Made Adam apologize a lot, apologize for things that were not his fault<sup>83</sup>

[[Night Broken]]
  * Doesn't want Adam, but doesn't want anyone else to have him<sup>9</sup>
  * Can get Adam to do things he had no intention of doing<sup>10</sup>
  * 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 trailer<sup>38</sup> 
  * Met Adam when she was eighteen. He'd been older than that, a werewolf already<sup>49</sup>
  * Adam paid the bills for her condo, her car, her insurance, and her phone bills<sup>50</sup>
  * Told Adam he scared her, that the werewolves scared her, and that he smothered her<sup>53</sup>
  * Still loves Adam<sup>70</sup>
  * Had been Adam's wife for over a decade<sup>134</sup>
  * Adam never dressed her down before. She was too good at making everything someone else's fault<sup>221</sup>

[[Storm Cursed]]
  * Encouraged Adam to hate what he is. Even when Mercy first met them, she wanted to smack Christy when she would look at Adam with big eyes and say, "You're scaring me, Adam."<sup>45</sup>

**With Jesse**

[[Moon Called]]
  * Had a boyfriend who tried to climb in bed with Jesse when she was twelve. And two years ago, she left for a weekend in Vegas without telling Jesse she was going anywhere<sup>300</sup>

[[River Marked]]
  * Jealous of Jesse<sup>50</sup>

[[Night Broken]]
  * Jesse suffered every time Christy called<sup>3</sup>
  * Christy loves Jesse<sup>70</sup>

[[Fire Touched]]
  * Lets Jesse play whatever music she wants<sup>5</sup>

**With the Wolves**

[[River Marked]]
  * Jealous of the pack<sup>50</sup>

[[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 testosterone<sup>8</sup>
  * Christy was Auriele's friend<sup>9</sup>
  * Didn't like Warren<sup>42</sup>
  * Mary Jo was Christy's friend<sup>42</sup>
  * 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.”<sup>97</sup> 
  * Doesn't feel comfortable with the wolves if Adam isn't there<sup>107</sup>
  * Ben wasn't petting Christy either<sup>234</sup>

[[Storm Cursed]]
  * Christy would cringe from Adam and all of the wolves<sup>46</sup>

**With Mercy**

[[Night Broken]]
  * Resents that Mercy took her place<sup>8</sup>
  * Used the bottle of shampoo left in Mercy's bathroom, and it dyed her hair blue<sup>338</sup>

[[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 dye<sup>145</sup>
