Despite the rocky start, the Chris and Bernie get along well, and if the reaction of Chris' parents is any indication, their attraction to each other is fairly obvious.

The MS-06 Zaku II is a mobile suit from the Mobile Suit Gundam metaverse Chris launches to fight and is drawn into an ambush site, sustaining injuries herself and heavy damage to her Gundam. When the two mobile suits charge each other for a final attack, Chris impales the Zaku's cockpit with her beam sabre and unknowingly kills Bernie.

In other media
Chris is tragically best known for unknowingly killing her love interest, Bernie. This is a powerful image, as it is easy to see similar tragedies occurring throughout the One Year War. The is a fictional conflict from the Universal Century timeline of the Anime Gundam metaseries As a result, she and Bernie appear quite often in other media that involves the Universal Century. Universal Century is the English name for the original timeline of the Gundam Anime Metaseries.
She is among the Earth Federation characters that appear in the SD Gundam G Generation series of strategy games, and depending on which title it is in the series may a) kill Bernie as in the OVA, b) convince him to switch sides, or c) not meet him on the battlefield at all. Super Deformed Gundam or SD Gundam is a series that spawned from the Gundam series She is also a rentable pilot (i. e. she can be hired to pilot one of the player's mobile suits for one battle).
In the Gihren's Greed series of games, Chris also appears on the Federation side. Gihren no Yabou ( Gihren's Ambition) commonly known as Gihren's Greed, is a Turn-based strategy game based on Mobile Suit Gundam, developed and published In the OVA Chris was implied as being an exceptional pilot, and that is reflected in her statistics. Her shooting stat, for example, is well above average. She appears once research on the Alex is complete, but may be temporarily unavailable due to injury (as depicted in Gundam 0080). On the Zeon side, it is possible for Bernie to successfully capture both the Alex and Chris. What becomes of Chris should this occur is unknown, but it is reasonable to assume she is held prisoner for the remainder of the war.
Because of Gundam 0080's generally weaker Mobile Suits than the powerhouses of other Universal Century series, Bernie and Chris do not appear very often in the Super Robot Wars. is a series of tactical role-playing Video games produced by the Japanese gaming company Banpresto, a division of Bandai, for various Video game consoles Chris is often part of the player's forces from the beginning, and Bernie usually joins during the course of the game. They last appeared in Super Robot Wars Alpha, where Chris aided Amuro Ray in testing new mobile suit technologies at Cheyenne Base, the Alex being written as a structural testbed for the Nu Gundam itself, and Bernie (if procedures were taken to recruit him during the game) becoming a playable character after the defeat of Haman Kahn in the later stages. is part of the Super Robot Wars franchise and was published for the Sony PlayStation by Banpresto. is a fictional character from the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam and its sequels Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and Char's Counterattack
In many mecha games based on the Universal Century, such as Encounters in Space, Gundam: Lost War Chronicles or Gundam Climax U. C. , Bernie and Chris often have special dialogue when opposing each other on the battlefield. For example, in Lost War Chronicles, Chris exclaims "Bernie?! You're a Zeon?!" while in Climax U. C. Bernie calls on Chris to stop fighting as he doesn't want to hurt her. In the final stage of Climax U. C. (where the player must battle the main Gundams of the U. C. Gundam series), Chris is notable as being the only female Gundam pilot (It can also be noted that she has the weakest stats of all the Gundam pilots).
She is also the unfortunate butt of many jokes in various 4-koma comics based on the Gundam and Super Robot Wars series.
