Christie role on Star Wars
In the 2015 motion picture Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, Christie plays First Order Captain Phasma. The first announcement of her involvement came on June 2, 2014. Christie later returned to the role in the 2017 film Star Wars: Episode VIII, The Last Jedi. In the animated series Star Wars Resistance, she also provided Phasma’s voice.
Born into the Scyre clan on the nuclear-ravaged planet Parnassos, Phasma is a human female stormtrooper captain of the First Order. She trained to be a strong warrior and eventually rose to the position of military commander for her clan. Phasma betrayed her own brother, Keldo, and her clan in order to assist First Order General Brendol Hux in finding his ship while seeking passage offworld. Phasma gave up her previous life and joined the First Order after being saved.
Leading their stormtrooper training program and collaborating with General Armitage Hux to murder Brendol’s son, Phasma was a prominent officer in the First Order, which led to Cardinal’s attempt to murder her. She joined Armitage and Kylo Ren in an unofficial triumvirate. As a senior officer, Phasma oversaw First Order forces engaged in combat with the Resistance and their quest to locate a galactic map that would take them to Luke Skywalker, the final Jedi. She took part in a massacre during the search, which encouraged FN-2187 to turn against the Resistance.
Phasma was attacked by FN-2187 at Starkiller Base following the Hosnian Cataclysm, which resulted in its demise. Phasma led a hunt for Lieutenant Sol Rivas after framing him for the base’s devastation.
Christie role on Top of the Lake
In the mystery-drama TV series Top of the Lake, Christie played 35-year-old Sydney Police Force constable Miranda Hilmarson, who later partnered with Robin. Tui Mitcham, a 12-year-old girl, is discovered to be nearly five months pregnant in Laketop, New Zealand. Growing up in the community, police inspector Robin Griffin says she doesn’t like her mother’s lover, but her mother stands by him. Inquiring as to who impregnated Tui, Robin consents to interview her at the police station. Tui returns home with her two violent brothers and her father, Matt Mitcham. Matt isn’t scared even when Tui points a gun at him. Matt appears irritated, but Tui’s mother, who is separated from her, is appalled by her pregnancy.
Matt and his sons kill the local real estate agent by dragging him behind their boat and pretending he drowns because they are furious that he mediated a transaction to sell land to an unconventional women’s treatment group in Paradise Valley. Carrying a gun and provisions, Tui pays a visit to the ladies of Paradise and their enigmatic leader, GJ.
Christie role on Game of Thrones
In Game of Thrones, Christie, an English actress, portrays Brienne of Tarth. The sole child of Lord Selwyn Tarth, Ser Brienne of Tarth is a knight of the House of Tarth. Ser Jaime Lannister knighted Brienne before the Battle of Winterfell, making her the first woman in the Seven Kingdoms to wear a knighthood.
After Daenerys Targaryen dies and Bran I the Broken ascends to the throne as King of the Andals and the First Men, Brienne becomes the next Lady Commander of the Kingsguard. On the island of Tarth, which is situated in the Narrow Sea off the coast of the Stormlands, Brienne is the only child and heir of Lord Selwyn Tarth of Evenfall Hall. She’s extraordinarily tall and powerful for a woman by Westerosi standards, and she picked up a passion for martial arts as a child, but few men in Westeros would find her appealing. Growing up, Brienne developed her fighting skills and had the unique ambition of becoming a knight for a woman from Westeros.
Brienne doesn’t remember her mother because she passed away when she was quite little. All of her siblings passed away when they were still very little. Because of her physical characteristics and personality, she has never really pursued a marriage alliance with another house and was a virgin until her rendezvous with Jaime Lannister. Despite being the only heir of House Tarth, she presented a very attractive marriage possibility for men from other noble houses. She used to get teased by her classmates for dressing like a woman. She remembers being made fun of at a special ball by the other women until a youthful Renly Baratheon came to her aid. Because of her looks, she is often referred to as the “Maid of Tarth” or, less flatteringly, “Brienne the Beauty.”
