(→‎Physical appearance: Someone correct me if I'm wrong on whether it's appropriate to refer to her as Eliza rather than Christine. The constant back-and-forth with her name makes the article rather hard to understand.)

Upon her introduction in ''[[Dead Romance (novel)|Dead Romance]]'' Christine had the distinction of being the first female [[Cwej (species)|Cwej]], however, 21 years later ''[[Barnyard of the Cyberons (short story)|Barnyard of the Cyberons]]'' introduced [[Christina Cwej]] who was canonically intended to be the first female Cwej.
* Christine Summerfield is unique amongst the main characters of the [[New Adventures]] following the release of ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'', as she does not meet Bernice Summerfield within the story where she serves as the main point of view. While ‘’[[Deadfall (novel)|Deadfall]]’’, ‘’[[The Mary-Sue Extrusion (novel)|The Mary-Sue Extrusion]]’’, and ‘’[[Return to the Fractured Planet (novel)|Return to the Fractured Planet]]’’ are all told almost entirely from the point of view of somebody other than Bernice Summerfield, she is still a central character within the stories.
* Upon her introduction in ''[[Dead Romance (novel)|Dead Romance]]'', Christine Summerfield is identified as a cloned human with dark hair but her specific genetic origins are not identified. However, much is made of the connection between Christine and her seeming namesake, Bernice Summerfield. Throughout the novel, she speculates as to her seemingly unwarranted attachment to the Summerfield bloodline, once remarking that she felt an "urge to go looking for the remains of Bernice Summerfield", who she later describes as "the closest thing [she has] got to family." Likewise, Christine speculates that, “when the sphinxes had made everyone inside the bottle, [she] had been “inspired by this Bernice person.” This speculation is summarily rejected by Chris, who denies any similarity between the two Summerfields. When Christine discovers that she is a clone, Chris responds aggressively before telling her that she was simply “a standard human template.”
* While ''[[Barnyard of the Cyberons (short story)|Barnyard of the Cyberons]]'' introduced [[Christina Cwej]] with the understanding that she was the first female Cwej, ''[[The Five Christinas (short story)|The Five Christinas]]'' would later assert that Eliza was, despite being a clone of "a standard human template", a Cwejen with the imprint of "[[Chris Cwej|someone else]]". By that account, this would make Christine Summerfield the first female [[Cwejen]].
