BOGGART Losing one of her sisters, or learning that her parents were terrible people.
MIRROR OF ERISED Growing old with someone who knows her completely.
PATRONUS Asian small-clawed otter – they are very social, and also very much family creatures. Charlie may not know her biological family, but she has one that she has picked, and that is the most important thing in her life.

PERSONALITY Charlie is the sort of person that would never hurt anyone, emotionally or physically. She likes to meet new people, and she hasn't found one that she doesn't like yet. That is, unless her first impression of them happens to have been that person picking on one of her sisters. In that case she still isn't mean to those people, she just tries to separate her sisters from them and will do anything that she can to keep them away. People that she perceives as threats to her sisters are basically just ignored. It would be impossible to be friends with her and enemies with her sisters because she feels like they are all that she'll have in the end, and she might just be all that they have, too. She most often only sees the good in a person, and has the tendency to justify the bad. It wouldn't be such a terrible thing if she only did this with people that she trusts, but instead, she will always choose to believe the best in a person and be hurt rather than assume the worst and miss out on something wonderful.

She is also the type of person that wants to do everything at least once. She likes new experiences, and if someone tells her that they have a dream of, say, sneaking into Hogsmeade or doing something reckless, Charlie will usually be the first to elect herself as their partner. She is not a death seeker in the least. She just doesn't want to grow up and realize that she has wasted her life. And besides, she gets a rush out of doing something that is potentially dangerous. She does not like when people lecture her on this behavior because she knows that what she is doing can lead her down a bad road. But why not do what you want, when life is so short? Most people think with her adventurous side she would be the type to drink, but she does that so rarely that she's a notorious lightweight... She does, however, like the taste of alcohol on a lover's lips.

Speaking of, she has had a long stream of romantic partners of both sexes, though she is the sort of girl that has to care about someone at least a little bit before she hops into bed with them. After all, she doesn't enter into these situations because she wants to be liked. It's because she likes feeling close to another person. Not all of her relationships have been sexual, either. It would not be uncommon to see her walking along holding hands with a friend and other people getting the wrong idea... She has been called names before because people think that she is too loose. She lets the comments slide off her back in the moment, but as her sisters know, she does sometimes cry when people say certain things. She's a very tender heart, with a party girl's reputation.

She is a very feminine person most of the time, but does not let that limit her. She plays quidditch, and she also knows how to play the drums.

Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right, and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort.

BIRTHPLACE Somewhere in London? She isn't sure.
PARENTS Unknown.
SIBLINGS Unknown.
OTHER She has two girls from the orphanage that she thinks of as her sisters. They're her chosen family, and more important to her than anyone or anything else.
Aoi Taiga :: 'Sister' :: 14 :: Gryffindor
________ :: 'Sister' :: __ :: _______ (Not yet created)
HISTORY Charlie doesn't know anything about where she came from or how she ended up in the orphanage, but that doesn't matter. She remembers being something of a loner in the beginning. She was shy, and people mistook her kindness for desperation in wanting to make friends. And she was more into books back then than she was in people, because at that point, she was more afraid than anything. However, when she was only eight years old, she was cornered by some boys that she had always had some issues with. And even though to her, it was only another day, one of the younger girls came to her rescue.

The friendships that she developed with two other girls really changed her life. She became more confident and willing to stand up for what she believed in because they were there to support her. And she took care of them like a mother might. She has always had a maternal streak about her. And the older she got, the more friends she was able to make now that she was out of her shell. She became known for singing the very young children at the orphanage to sleep over the summers.

Hogwarts has proven to be the place that she really wants to belong to. People there don't immediately know that she is an orphan, which had prompted awkward conversations in the past. And most of the time, no one thinks it odd when she says that the other girls are her 'sisters'. Except for the fact that she is so different from them... They are all really different from each other.

She is an average student, nothing special, because she likes to focus on people instead. From her first year on, she decided that she could start over and let herself be whatever she wanted. She didn't want to play the victim that she had been at the orphanage... She put on a more confident air instead. She started learning how to play the drums when she was about twelve, though it took her a long time to start getting good. To be honest, probably the last year or so, because she has taken it a bit more seriously.
