Chrissy Cunningham is not pregnant. Chrissy is one of the popular girls in Hawkins's local high school. She is the lead cheerleader for the school and was in a relationship with Jason Carver, captain of the basketball team. While Chrissy’s character was shown to be highly popular and sophisticated, she was suffering from depression which was caused by the childhood traumas that she holds in her heart. Chrissy’s situation went bad to worse when she came under Henry Creel aka Vecna’s influence in season 4.


Because of Vecna, Chrissy’s traumas increased, causing her to see disorienting and disturbing hallucinations. After one of her school events, Chrissy runs into Eddie Munson who is one of her best friends, who tries to console and calm her down. Eddie brings her to his home to give her some medicine, but Chrissy suddenly starts floating up in the air, due to Vecna’s subconscious telekineses.
