Born Christy Stentorop on October 20, 1989, in New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada, Christy Burke was the middle child of three sisters. Her passion for acting ignited during a family outing to see the film "Titanic."

The character underwent a rapid aging process, making it necessary for multiple actresses to play the role using facial replacement technology.
