Chrissie Watkins was the first reported shark victim of many that were attacked by a rogue Great White Shark during the infamous Amity Incident. Her death is the most famous and well-known scene in the Jaws franchise.
Attack
Chrissie's police missing person report.
The attack on Chrissie Watkins, who was visiting the island of Amity for summer break, occurred off the islands' south beach; during the summer of 1974. It occurred whilst she was skinny dipping. The shark (Bruce) grabbed her legs and proceeded to drag her around. Chrissie tried desperately to save herself; by grabbing onto a buoy, but she was swiftly dragged underwater and eaten.
Chrissie's remains later washed ashore and were discovered by Deputy Leonard Hendriks of the APD. Later, Matt Hooper examined her mutilated body; in order to confirm that; she was killed; by a shark.
The Novel
Chrissie's appearance is almost the same; but her death is in more gruesome detail. Also, there is a sex scene. The novelization also elaborated slightly on her character, namely that Chrissie's first name was Christine and that; she had been a drifter; who hitchhiked from Idaho over to Amity Island and; as such won't be missed because of her lack of any close friends or family.
Personality
There is little to know about her personality, but she seemed like a nice girl.
