Biography

Christine is a goat who lives in the Animal Village. She loves eating paper and corresponds with Mr. Write from Mabe Village.[2] When Link talks to her for the first time, Christine says to him that the proper etiquette is to give flowers when first meeting a lady.[3] During the game's Trading Quest, in exchange for a Hibiscus flower, Christine gives Link a Letter that must be delivered to Mr. Write.[4] When the Letter is delivered, it is revealed that it is apparently a love letter, and that Christine has enclosed a photograph.[5] Although Mr. Write believes the photo to be of Christine herself, it is actually an image of Princess Peach from the Mario franchise.[6]

Christine owns a green Bird while Mr. Write owns an orange bird.
