 * The Rival: In her child acting days she was both this and a Distaff Counterpart to Macaulay Culkin. As she got older, Christina on several occasions found herself being offered roles that Natalie Portman had for one reason or another (usually her schooling) turned down; rather than be insulted, Ricci chose to view it as a plus that if Portman was unavailable, she was the second choice.
 * Wise Beyond Their Years: As a child she was known to be very precocious, as well as very professional. One director who worked with her in her tweens was reported to have said, "This must be what working with Jodie Foster as a child was like."
