'''Cristina Valenzuela''', also known as Cristina Vee, is an American voice actress.
She caught the attention of dubbing studio Bang Zoom! Entertainment from a voice acting panel at Anime Expo 2004, an anime convention in Southern California. Since then, [[Ascended Fanboy|Bang Zoom! has continually invited Valenzuela to do voice work in anime, foreign films, and commercials.]] She has appeared at conventions throughout the United States where she sometimes sings live concerts (this apparently landed her [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRfywEX2LDQ the live action role as ASOS Brigade leader] in ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' season 2). Cristina's also one of the co-hosts of [http://www.animeolympics.net/ Anime Olympics] and season 2 of [http://goanimetv.com/ Anime TV]. She made up a dub of a ''[[
Despite her new start, she quickly racked up popularity amongst the new age of voice actors, making her a [[Ensemble Darkhorse|fan favorite]] and most of her appearances in many projects will be met with [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|much rejoicing]]. Yes, that's right, in a quick moment, she is starting to rival the popularities of accomplished ones, the likes of [[Johnny Yong Bosch]], [[Michelle Ruff]], [[Stephanie Sheh]], [[Yuri Lowenthal]], etc... (although still a long way to go until she reaches the memetic status of [[Crispin Freeman]] or [[Steve Blum]])

** Despite rising in fame in dubbing, she still builds her presence online! She had an interview on Crunchyroll, appeared with [[Doug Walker]] together on an improv at a con, and filmed a sequence with a friend for an episode of ''The Phillip [[De Franco]] Show''!
** Two words: [[Marble Hornets]]. [http://twitter.com/#!/CristinaVee/status/165862985733128192/photo/1/large Here she is with Joseph and Tim!]
** She plays ''[[League of Legends]]'', voices one of the characters there, and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fFflwLYPKQ she even was a host at their IPL4 tournament].
* [[Pigeonholed Voice Actor]]: either [[Badass Adorable]] characters ([[Lyrical Nanoha|Nanoha]]), [[Adorkable]] characters ([[K-On!|Mio]]) or ''both'' ([[
** [http://www.formspring.me/cristinavee/q/184769319220053390 According to her], she feels that she is typecast into the "[[Tastes Like Diabetes|sweet girl]]."
*** Her roles as Noel's clone and [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] (Nu/Lambda and Mu, repectively) subvert this, as one is mostly [[Creepy Monotone|deadpan]], while the other is a bit more...[[Not So Stoic|aggressive]] in her monotony.
*** And of course Homura is also a subversion. She sounds more deadpan and monotone like Nu, until some of her tender side got revealed.
*** [[Skullgirls|Cerebella]] is yet another subversion, but then again she was in charge of voice acting in ''Skullgirls'', so this may have been a conscious choice on her part..
* [[Relationship Voice Actor]]: Cristina has a "group" of voice actresses, mostly new ones, that usually accompany her and will not be seen without her. These include Jennifer Alyx, [[Lauren Landa]], [[Cassandra Lee]],<ref>She's not a newcomer though, see her trope page for details</ref> [[Christine Marie Cabanos]], Shelby Lindley and recently Sarah Williams, to name a few. They've worked together (the one who's present in these works constantly is just Cristina) in ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'', ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', ''[[
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: She made a Twitter comment that she ''wasn't'' in the ''Madoka'' dub (which was later deleted); in the Crunchyroll Live Stream on December 16, 2011, they announced she will be voicing Homura in the dub.
** Subverted that in her defense, it was because she ''wasn't cast yet'' when the first three characters of the dub (Madoka, Kyubey, and Sayaka) were announced. The fans took that statement and assumed she won't be in the cast.
