Love Exalted Wiki

Chrissy Elizabeth Cunningham is a minor character of Stranger Things. She is the lead cheerleader of Hawkins High School and boyfriend of Jason Carver. Beneath her surface, however, she is a traumutized individual who struggles with self-esteem issues due to her mother's abuse.

What Makes Her Love Exalted?[]

  • Unlike many other "popular" teenage characters in the show, she is a genuinely good person who doesn't flaunt her popularity around, just like Nancy Wheeler. Even Steve Harrington did that, despite currently being one of the most loved characters. As a cheerleader, she is also shown to be very good at it. Hence, it's really not hard to see why she is so well-liked by her peers.
  • Despite being way more popular than Eddie Munson, she is kind to him and remembers him from middle school, despite having no interactions together.
  • She is sympathetic and tragic due to suffering from an eating disorder caused by the abuse of Laura Cunningham, who is her mother.
  • While having only appeared in one episode, she has become one of the most popular and widely cosplayed characters in the franchise despite only having a handful of screen time, going to show just how loved she is.

Trivia[]

  • To drive the turning point home, the screenwriters of the franchise, the Duffer Brothers, wished they had written more scenes with Chrissy and her relationship with Eddie in particular because of their exceptional chemistry.
  • She is one of fourteen Love Exalted from Stranger Things along with Steve Harrington, Eleven, Mike Wheeler, Nancy Wheeler, Max Mayfield, Dustin Henderson, Robin Buckley, Joyce Byers, Jim Hopper, Alexei, Dmitri Antonov, Bob Newby, Suzie Bingham, and Eddie Munson.
