-Diva is an extremely prolific capper, apparently favoring quantity over quality.  Her riffs tackle a wide range of subjects from work concerns, genre television and film, musicals, SCA/Rennaisance Festivals, current affairs, and whatever's passing through her head at the moment.  Although she has admitted to numerous [[Capper Crush]]es (among them Hugh Jackman, Alan Rickman, and Colin Firth), more and more of her comments have referenced a mysterious figure known only as "Steve" (not to be confused with [[Steve the Astronaut]]).  She is a self-described "trivia geek" and has been known to go off on random tangents of useless information.  Despite all this, the other Cappers continue to tolerate her presence.}}

−	In the late 1990s, the magazine ''Entertainment Weekly'' published the only truly meaningful article in the journal's history: a review of the MST3K section on Sci-Fi.com's website. Mentioned in passing was [[Caption This]], a place where users could make their own snarky commentary to Sci-Fi's programming. While the critic did not seem to think the site to have much merit, the idea of playing Joel Robinson with other people intrigued Christi, and shortly after reading the review checked out the site for herself. Selecting "TheDiva" as her online handle (a sobriquet derived from her then e-mail address and her general love of music), she took her first tenantive steps into capping, making riffs on "Star Trek," "The ~~Shining~~," "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" and other shows. To her amazement and delight, the newly-minted Diva discovered that a) the other cappers were very funny, and b) they seemed to think she was funny, laughing at and even saving her captions. But the legendary problems with broken screengrabs were a toll on the young capper, and she soon left Caption This for the more fertile grounds of [[Inventing Situations]] and [[Glitter's Cap-Page Board]]. Today she caps almost exclusively on the latter, although she has been known to pop up on other venues from time to time.	+	In the late 1990s, the magazine ''Entertainment Weekly'' published the only truly meaningful article in the journal's history: a review of the MST3K section on Sci-Fi.com's website.
